Quite a few years ago I took a day of vacation and drove to our ALJC Ohio District Camp. I planned on spending the day and hearing some Bible teaching and then some preaching. I was there in plenty of time for the morning Bible Study. It was a real disappointment. The pastor who taught spent the hour pontificating and haranguing about television. Like I said in a a previous post in the Camp Meeting thread, it took about 5 minutes to cover what he had to say and the other 55 minutes was just repetition of the same stuff. I was licensed with the ALJC for several years. I had (still have) a television. My pastor had a television. Television was not an issue in many of our ALJC churches. To me it was a waste of time to sit there and listen to this guy scold the members of all these churches who were living in compliance with their pastors' teachings. In my opinion, he was out of order and out of place.
