Oh consistency, thou art a jewel!

[Digging4Truth]

We wholeheartedly disapprove of our people indulging in any activities which are not conducive to good Christianity and Godly living, such as theaters, dances, mixed bathing, women cutting their hair, make-up, amusements, and unwholesome radio programs and music.

Furthermore, because of the display of all these evils on television, we disapprove of any of our people having television sets in their homes. 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."

Several questions...

1. They disapprove of unwholesome radio programs and music yet then turn around and disapprove of the entire medium of television carte blanch. Why? Why are people found capable of judging between wholesome radio and not wholesome TV?

2. They disapprove of several different activities... But.. although they disapprove of dancing... would there be a problem with a preacher preaching to those lost sinners at a dance? Although they disapprove of "amusements" would they have a problem with a preacher preaching to those lost sinners at the amusement park? Yet... although they disapprove of TV they also disapprove of a preacher preaching to those lost sinners watching the TV?
