to go to bed....wasting the whole evening....flipping through garbage.

After our TV was gone family life was greatly restored, we'r reading, talking, playing games, etc. A big improvement of family life.

However,I don't think that a church organization should set the rules.
That's pure dictatorship, there's no reason to bombard people with
all these rules and regulations and attach these rules to a person's
condition for salvation. (And that's what they are doing, don't be fooled!)
Great post. You did it for all the right reasons.

God is not into retreat, he keeps on moving forward, he is probably about to bring revival through a new movement.

Waves of revival keep on coming, from unexpected places, from unexpected persons and in unexpected ways.
It is and will continue to emerge.

So how are you getting your daily dose of wisdom from Phil and Uncle Si?

However, i dont see them getting rid of the skirts and long hair restriction anytime soon. They could do away with the no jewelry and makeup rules.
Women were shown how to paint there faces for the fallen angels in the book of Enoch.

There still is a "Church of God"! I visit the home city of the "Church of God of Cleveland, TN" every few months.

The UPCI (or any other organization) isn't the Kingdom of God and should never be seen as anything more than a human organization designed to make money and control members.

Well, now that they passed a resolution to allow killing, it suddenly becomes acceptable to watch killing on TV.

Your view is a cynical one that I reject. While I think there may be many misguided people I think the vast majority of them are sincere and dedicated. It is demeaning and untrue to say that the UPCI is designed to make money and control members.

The budget crisis the UPC HQ has been in for a few years now should dispel the notion that as an org. it is a money making machine. The control thing does happen but as a result of their sects view of the bible. Not because they just created an org. to control members.
