Elder Ensey's article about tv advertizing

[Scott Hutchinson]

Can I ask a question and I know both television and internet have had negative affects on society ?
But techinally speaking what is the difference between a web-cast and television broadcast ?

The TV broadcast is programmed on a medium that is regulated by the FCC...

The internet broadcast is progammed on a medium that is regulated by NO ONE!

Other than that...same cameras, same editing software, same process of delivery, same ....everything....else...

I am opposed to webcasting.

T1,
When Michael Powell worked at the FCC he told me, via e-mail, that satellite t.v. is not regulated by the FCC.

It's only the local stations you can get. Just adding that for anyone that isn't aware.

My problem is this with videoing or televising or webcasting services I fear it could interfer with the worship and the preaching like it does in the court room. Anyone remember the OJ trial? I have been to services where this is done and to me it seems there is some attention given to the camera? It seems to be an intrusion?
Then to watch folks being blessed and their worship and response to the Spirit it seems like sitting up a camera in someone's bedroom? Worship though public is private and to sit back on screen and watch this most intimate moment between the worshipper and their God seems intrusive to me. I know I know someone may ask about tapes and cds but they are audio you can't see them or know who is being touched. The majority of preachers I have heard disregards to audio taping and just preaches but from my limited experience they seem conscious of the camera.

I agree with you on this post Bro Epley.

If I happen to unknowingly go visit a church that does do the "videoing" of their services....I mark that church and never attend it again. To me, it's a pure disgrace.

I don't know how you can come up with the comparison that watching someone worship is the same as watching a couple in the bedroom . . .

Do you watch people worship during church? Same thing.

Now if the camera person is getting all up in someone's face and walking around the altar getting in the way . . . I'd agree it's too intrusive. Usually though, the cameras are stationary or not in the way.

I guess you won't be attending General Conference or even most District Campmeetings, since they video the services. In fact, with so many churches either video recording or webcasting services, I hope you have a healthy supply of markers.

Howard Stern was not on "local stations" and the FCC thumped him...

This has happened many tmes on the basic cable channels (NOT PREMIUM or PPV) so how can the FCC levy fines against them if they are not regulated?

I think what qualifies as local is more than the big 4...

When someone preaches against the camera and the Tv and the broadcasting...and then gets in a room with one...of coarse you are going to notice it...I go to churches all the time that have cameras and I pay absolutly no attention to them at all. The only ones who seem to be so concerned about the effects of the camera are the ones who focus on it like it is some crystal ball...because those of us who do not focus on them, don't notice them.

We video every service, our cameras are in the balcony...and I dare say no one noticed them yesterday!
