You guys know this thread is 6 years old, right? That means nothing in this thread applies to today, donchaknow?

Its relevant because of the resolution on TV that came out this week.

I guess now the WPFers can puff out their chests and say "we told you so" that if the UPC allowed advertising on tv, they would eventually allow tv.

Big deal. What has the WPF accomplished beside division? They should have stayed, and worked through the differences.

I would disagree. There comes a time when a parting of the ways must occur. The fact that it arrived for the brethren in the WPF before it occurred for other men is not the fault of the WPF brethren. For many of us, the camel had too many other burdens, and one additional issue finally broke the back of said camel. I know that we were growing increasingly dissatisfied with the amount of worldliness seen when attending various district functions. Remember also, there was a day when the UPCI was also very small (in regards to the current size). In fact, the WPF is about the size the UPC was at the time of its formation. However, we have already made progress in establishing contacts with other believers around the world, and are making great efforts to seeing the work done.

question
What are you going to do with the TV issue when the last channel on TV finally migrates to the Internet, and the last TV set is sent to the dumpster, are you then going to then prohibit the Internet??
