He knows that’s why he didn’t respond and honestly you know what I’m referring to also.

Of course I know what you are referring to, and that's why I am asking you the question

Lets assume I dont know, snd you quit playing a gentleman when you are in fact a disturber of peace?

And ...

I originally did not respond because your thinking is so narrow and dated, you cannot receive what was actually originally advice....advice repeated to you by Bro. EB.

I have had only one no tv pastor and he was fine with jewelry..like wedding rings and watches. That was in the 70s and I was a kid. I did not choose the next three pastors, my mother did. And she found nothing wrong with TV at this time. Should I have rebelled against my parent because she followed not the word of the AoF, but rather followed the Lord as best she could. We moved churches trying to stay ahead of the worship wars. She feared music with a beat far worse than TV. By the 80s I was old enough to choose my own church. But because of nearsighted preachers like you...I was near to choosing to walk away.

Thank the Lord he had mercy.

The lists of legal mumbo are not much in actual use, because most people have seen the error you miss in the last two pages of discussion with Bro. EB. Not that he and I have a great deal of agreement- except everything he wrote in pages 16-17 of this thread, three steps, oneness, and prayer and faith. But is not the rest window dressing, if. "Our righteousness is as filthy rags"

Hard hearted angry controlling men find solace in making silly laws, that are upset by the progress of technology and social change. A braggard goes into the streets, and prays out loud...or announces his holiness based on his robes, his loud prayer, and his piety.

All things with screens display whatever your heart desires. Currently my big one displays a show about architecture selected by my daughter as one of her favorite shows, it is delivered via internet and can be called up at will. She can just as easily watch it on her phone...or pad, or laptop. There is no such thing as "TV" in the same sense there was when Leave it to Beaver was not in re-runs. Your argument is muted by the technology. A "TV" is a computer, a computer is a TV....

Only the useage makes it good or bad.

Yet you insinuate, you shout, you admittedly preach against that which makes absolutely no sense to anyone under 35. If you use the internet you can watch "TV"....so you are inconsistent and hypocritical with no understanding of why.

But to point out that two objects that do the same thing- = justification....a code word you use to be synonymous with backslidden, et..rebellion, the sin of witchcraft. Slippery slopes lead to Salem in the 1600s as well.

I have no doubt you are well intenrioned in your preaching, your purpose for posting this thread I think to be less honorable.

But for giggles and laughs come out with it....what is the root....??
Lols are sure to be had, else I would have let this thread die.

Since any device can be made to receive and display the signal you may be consistent but still delusional.

My original post was to point out that the lack of a screen larger than say 22in. Is not a deterent because the content is not limited to that device. So preaching against TV, but allowing internet is inconsistent.

But I dont care cause riling up the cons is hilarious

If someone preached against television, then uses the internet for the same things they would television, then I agree. Otherwise, your argument is ludicrous.

Oh yeah...we also preach if you watch pornography on your devices, you’re on your way to hell.

Well there we can agree....please note I never said there is not garbage on either. What I said was a TV is not the only way to get bad content....to which several others noted much worse could be had on the web.

In the light of tecnology changes it seems inconsistent to say the internet is fine, but TV is like inviting the devil to dinner. When on either he may be found with little to no trouble. The little device in my hand can be misused.....

Unless you go the way of the Amish, or Mennonite, you are going to have some inconsistencies because the tech will invent senarios your little legalist rule books never thought of.

What I dont get: Be it TV or anything else is this dedication to a mindset written down in some AoF in the late 40s as the end all and be all, and twisting scripture to fit.

Ties for a really out there and oddly <hopefully> less litigious point.

When you preach to lost folk that do not know the way of the clones....and you say TV, they will be equally confused as I. Because we dont watch TV, we stream....see.....

Actually I name stuff when I preach it... preach no TVs in the home or watching at your neighbors or friends house, no watching junk on your phones, computers, no you tube or god tube or whatever else tube is there, no sports, news or any other excuse to watch tv and like Paul said “ and such like “
