A "Forward" Glimpse Into The Future?

Never let it be said, "Wonder where our beloved Elder stands on this or that issue?"

Gotta luv 'em for it.

I believe this is a fact also. One that is being overlooked....or should we say one that is not being used for ammunition.

"Hi, come visit our church and when you get here the TV you are now watching this will have to be thrown out"

Some of these Evangelism arguments are so silly. The muslims don't advert on TV- they are the fastest growing religion. The TV issue was settled in 1950, and affirmed again in 1981.

I know of a large church that does NO outreach. They knocked thousands of doors in the beginning, 10 yrs ago, but now have enough continous contact that they still do not need TV to see growth.

The Muslims don't need to buy TV, the Western leftists media are joined at the hip with the Mussies, to tear down America. So they get free coverage. So if the Church will get radical maybe it won't need TV either.

"Adoption of such a resolution would divide our fellowship. While some proponents may feel adoption would have a positive effect, we must accept the fact that division would be inevitable. There might not be a mass exodus at first, but eventually alternatives would surface which would attract a substantial number of UPCI ministers."


Is this code for "hang on guys, we have an alternative in the oven"?

How did this slip thru???? BTW, I thought you weren't posting any new threads this month????

During the depression there were quite a few door-to-door type salesmen selling everything from Fuller Brush to Electrolux Vacuum cleaners. It was not uncommon in those days for a householder to receive four or five knocks from various salesmen who might be selling Encylcopedias or milk delivery services.

I would say that "times have changed and so have marketing." But I wont. The obvious is THE OBVIOUS. I might also say that the mentality among todays' householders is vastly different too. I am no different than most today, I resent telemarketers and especially someone knocking on my door to peddle their goods and especially their brand of religion.

Is this true? I have never heard of such as a requirement for membership.
