Radio Broadcasts in 1938 PA of JC Their TV!

[Neck]

In 1938 the following men had a vision to broadcast their open services on the radio in the following cities:

F.E. Curts - Cincinnati, Ohio
O.A. McPherson - Mishawaka, IN
B.M. David - Twin Falls, Idaho
W.T. Witherspoon - Columbus, Ohio (General Chairman)
S.G. Norris - St. Paul, MN

And these men did it without a resolution.

What is the difference with men of that day who were the future Con's of the UPCI after the merger in late 1945.

So what is the problem with the Con's today not following their father's in the world of Technology?

In October 1938 the H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds" went on the air.

In the Dec 1938 "Outlook" magazine of the PA of JC they talk about the sin and madness of the world.

That was the T.V. or Movies of their day...

Yet the men who were the CON side of the UPCI merger did not need a resolution to allow the great men of their day to get the message of Jesus Christ out to the masses.

That was also the case with the Harvest time broadcasts after the start of the UPCI.

The CON's of today need to stand up and allow other men of vision to use the medium of their day to get the message out....

I would say that the radio of 1938, and TV of 2007 is like comparing apples and okra.

I think you are wrong.

You need to understand the impact of the radio in 1938 on the church at large. And how the church thought about the radio.

It brought that bad music into homes...

Radio was the largest broad communication tool of that day.

With the newspaper being not far behind or maybe even as big as radio.

Then look at TV and the impact on the church at large in 2007.

Today TV/Internet is the mass communication today with TV being a second and the Newspaper being a bag of coupons.

If you have the capcity to logically think through the impact for each time period it is clear.

The radio was the TV in 1938.

I just talked to my mom who was born in 1932 she told me that they did not have radio in the 1930's because their AOG church preached against it...

The first braodcast they heard at home was the president speach just after Peril Harbor.

They bought a radio because the Federal Gov't suggested it because of the War and the fear of air rades...

Sorry, but I do not think they openly cussed, showed violent murders, and showed nudity on the radio in 1938. The venue may have been something of a shocker to them, but they would have had a heart attack at what is shown on regular tv in this day and time, much less what is shown on cable channels. So to me there is no comparison. One was relatively clean, while the other is a cesspool of filth.

When songs sung about adultury and their was murder mysteries on the radio. That was a big cultural shock in 1938.

Understand the moral backbone of that day vs today.

hearing a curse word on TV in 2007 is normal to our society.

You need to research the Gov't leaders who stood up against what was on the radio in those days.

"The War of the Worls" broadcast put many folks in jail for a good long time..

You mention clean because you see it by looking through eyes that have seen it all on TV.

The radio in 1938 was considered a bad vice in the church in those days.

I grew up in a UPC church where the pastor told us that people were reacting to TV the same way they did to the radio when it came out. We weren't told we weren't allowed to have TV's, just to monitor what we watched.

That is the stand that the normal people have.

I will guarantee you in 1938 you weren't able to look at the radio and see a woman walk down the street wearing seamed stockings (thats what they were called right Renda?) .

While I am sure the War of the Worls was pretty bad as was the sequel the Battle of the Warls, I have been told that The War of the Worlds was far more sinister and a greater threat to the Christian man...back then.
