Members, well there are always unruly members. Paul spoke of them.
So when a minister signs the agreement, it states that they agree that tv is sinful?

My Pastor tells of a Minister he roomed with one time a conference ,boy that man preached hard agains't TV. at the conference but he watched it in the motel room.
If one preaches you'll go to hell if you watch tv.then if they watch it yes that's hypocritical.

They agree to not have one at all. They agree to not partake in viewing one at all.

Who said this was about an agreement, you agreed to drive the speed limit when you signed for a driver's license.

Simplistically, speaking, is that really what it says? I know its been posted before, but I would like to see it again...

Then what do you mean about "liars", if you aren't referring to their agreement?

actually i have read the blessed holy book and it doesnt say any thing more than not having one in your home

31.
No minister having a television in his or her home shall be permitted to hold license or credentials with the United Pentecostal Church International. Furthermore, no United Pentecostal Church International minister shall be permitted to advertise or minister on television. This does not preclude unsolicited representatives of the news media covering functions.

If post no. 55 is a complete representation of the matter of the T.V. as represented in the AS, post no. 53 should be noted as "not being factual".

When I got saved at 11 we were living with my grandparents the television was in the living room where my bed was I would pull a chair in front of my bed and put a towel over it where I couldn't see but I could hear it bothered me so I remember going out in the back yard and praying for the Lord to allow me to go asleep go I would not be hearing the tv. It worked and even today I hardly get inot bed and I am sound asleep. My relatives from a child knew that I did not watch television however sometimes young folks would come home with me from church and that was a battle to keep them from in front of the television. But I would succeed if I had to drag them by their arms.

I can see you were an arm-twisting Conservative from your youth!
