You'd be wrong there. The exact reason this resolution (and the one before it) was passed was to promote and approve it. The way that both resolutions were written (changing the wording to delete portions of text in a way that made the purpose of the resolution ambiguous unless you went to the Manual to read the deleted portion carefully) was clearly purposely deceptive. Many ministers who were against the use of television for advertising or ministry did not see anything wrong with the resolution until Brother Walters sent out a letter asking them to look more carefully at the craftily-worded resolution.
Fortunately, resolution 1 passed last year that makes it required that deleted text be shown in strike-through character text format. That will make it harder to practice the deception.
