SheltieDad's Proposition

As we stress our importance to the old paths, I would like to propose that the following rule be added to the Articles of Faith:


We wholeheartedly disapprove of our ministers using printed materials, PA systems and motor vehicles. The printing press has been used to perpetuate all sorts of evil since its inception, including printing NAZI propaganda leaflets, and an entire pornography industry is thriving because of this invention. PA systems are used by rock and roll musicians to incite worldly crowds into a frenzy. If Jesus could speak to a crowd of thousands without a PA system, then if a minister is in His will, a PA system is not necessary. Motor vehicles are modern conveniences for lazy people who are not willing to walk from place to place.

There are countless statistics of people operating motor vehicles under the influence of alcohol and it is reported that these vehicles are used to go to all sorts of nefarious destinations. Since no man is better than Jesus, and we should follow the example of the apostles, door-knocking and other sorts of witnessing should be carried out on foot.

The human condition is such that they look for easier ways to do things, and door knocking while on foot is the tried and true method of the apostles. Furthermore, because of the multitude of ways electricity can be used for evil purposes, we disapprove of any of our people having electricity in their homes. Electricity is the gateway to all sorts of sinful activities, be it viewing television, playing rock and roll music, and other dastardly deeds. We admonish all of our people to refrain from any of these practices in the interest of spiritual progress and the soon coming of the Lord for His church.

I also propose we try to write in paragraph form to make posts easier to read.

Lazy people don't like reading one big paragraph but three small paragraphs.

Congratulations SD

You have once again, like a surgeon, gone skilfully to the heart of our malady.

Definitely food for thought!

It makes as much if not more sense than many of the traditions we follow.

And if we didn't use motor vehicles, then many of the weight problems in Pentecost would simple disappear. Talk about getting the victory!

Thanks to whoever set the paragraphs, I'm running a really high resolution on my monitor so it was just a couple of inches long on my screen.
