Name calling is in vogue today. Idiots? Asses? Sounds like we have corrupt communication spewing from the keyboards of some of our great holiness preachers.

There is no limit to the absolute additions to the Word some men will force feed everyone who disagrees with their sacred cows. There is no way to scream it loud enough.

Danger! Danger! Danger!

An extrabiblical word is coming to a thread near you.

If you care for him at all, you should remove that tv immediately.

Hypocritical isn't it?

If something is dangerous enough to kill your kids, why have it in your home?

This is the third time ive said this. I have a TV. I think the uPCI needs to drop any referenece of TV from its bylaws. I also think res 6 needs to pass.

I also read this and got a good message for my own life. we can do both.

Posted by Randy:
He walked into his home and his wife was strangely quiet and tears were
dripping down her face. His oldest son was laying on the bed barely
breathing looked up and him and said, "Dad, you were too late to save
me".

The man dropped to his knees to beg God for mercy but mercy never came.
The next night the man was back at the Inn and his family was at home but
the oldest boy's bed was empty.

Fathers don’t be too late... Make right Decisions now....
What Television can provide for you today may cost you dearly
tomorrow...
Yep, God killed that boy because daddy was watching tv.
