Heh heh heh

Our favorite line is to ask him if he knows he is preaching.....

It will be nice to see folks walking in a Straightline again!

Let's say that you are a conservative upc preacher and you preach against tv.

TV is the last straw for most of the cons still left in the org.
I hope and pray that the TV resolution will be soundly defeated, BUT I "think" that it will pass. Some mighty big names are sponsering it.
Aren't there other things, not mentioned in the manual, that preachers preach on? If the TV thing passes, I don't see how that would mean those opposed to tv could no longer preach against it.
Of course they COULD and WOULD still preach against it.
It just would take some explaining to a new convert if they heard that the org that you belong to FAVORS using TV when you BELIEVE, and rightly so, that using TV is not good

If the thing passes and UC's leave, will ALL their saints go with them into unchartered waters (indie/another org/a new org) or find another UPC church? Thoughts?
I think most would go but a significant number would not follow a pastor for leaving over advertising on TV

Not anymore than explaining why the church teaches against other things, like sleeve length, or whatever else that particular church teaches on.

I was raised up in a ALJC church in Knoxville, Tn. The church there has had tv ministry for about 20 yrs or more. It accually started with a radio broadcast then went to tv. Now the fact of the matter is that tv is the cheapest, quickest way to get into homes. Our broadcast cost I think 400 a month and that is combining the tv and radio. Over the years the cost has increased. But the main thing is that there are about 35 families that have joined the church over the years because of the Tv broadcast.

I am not saying 35 people. Families. Some of the people that have come in have felt the call of God and started ministies. One man and his wife does a church at a truck stop for truckers. 35 families not to mention the people that those 35 have won. That church there runs close to 900-1000 people. Most of which might not have been there if were not for the Tv broadcast. There have been down points though. We were told not to come to several UPC organized events such as choir singing at JCm and others. Now there are no walls there, because we have proved it can be done and stay true the truth!

The bottom line is that no one can ever, ever, ever convince me tv does not work. It might not fly in your area too well, because of time slots or whatever. But it works. My father and I produced the program for a long time and I can tell you it is not too hard to do with the right equipment you can have a great program.
