Would You Support a Resolution
That allowed broadcasting via TV yet declared "we whole heartily disapprove of all TV programming, movies or internet video that are Unwholesome or otherwise promotes worldly behaviors or lifestyles? We agree as one body that sin or sinful behaviors should not be a means of entertainment and thus we disapprove of our members watching any sort of programming, video or movies that depict people engaging in sinful acts as a form of entertainment.
thus we are disapproving of the actual content and not a box of electronics or a media

Entertianment as worldly is what the problem is all about, and television is mostly focused on that, but wouldn't being on television and saying you disapprove of television be an oxymoron? Something like wearing a wedding band and preaching against jewelry?

TV is just a box of electronics and so worldly entertainment via TV is not inherit. You can have a TV and not see a worldy program and you can watch TV and not see a wordly program just as you can be on the Internet and not watch a wordly video or listen to the radio and not listen to worldly music or other content.
BTW if you read what I posted I did not say "disapprove of TV"...the point was we can all agree to disapprove of worldly CONTENT and not disapprove of the medium..we do that with internet

I see what you're saying to have a television that only shows one channel that is not consdiered worldly? Prax, Christian programming is entertianment, and not at all informative or pretianing to truth. So, I guess you would not be speaking of Trinitarians but Apostolic One God Pentecostals having there own station?

Then I would say you're purposing an all Apostolic televsion station or 23 channels of Apostolics?

This is just weird....I never mentioned having one channel or even christian programming. It's as though you were reading someone elses post and then replying...nothing here to respond to since you are really just avoiding subjectively looking at what I really said

I don't really have any idea what you are trying to say. You know you do this a lot. Rather than engage what someone says directly you ask some weird question and not make an actual point and often your question presupposes something about the other person or puts words into their mouths

Whatever, sorry I guess that I have been working too long and not enough rest. Sorry Prax but I read what you said and that is what I came up with.
So spoon feed me, what are you trying to say? Give me the short version.

I will just say this. The first man (or woman) to get out there and fund a national tv channel specifically for Apostolics will become quite well off within 10 years time.
