HQ is very rarely involved in this stuff. It normally comes from the district. That's how you have completely liberal districts like Pennsylvania and Ohio with most preachers owning tv's and really con districts like WD who are against everything except breathing.

What in the world is going on down there? It seems the DS is threatening to remove a pastor who openly admitting having a tv on his website. The DS is supposedly bringing an entourage to remove this man within a couple of weeks. He can do this because the church is affiliated.

In the meantime, the church board has voted to disaffiliate immediately. Now the full body is going to vote on it.

Couple of thoughts here.

1. It was silly for the man to go against the bylaws he agreed to follow.
2. It was silly for him to admit it on the web.
3. I can not believe they are going to prosecute, considering the current political climate.
4. The org is about to lose another church, and lots of money, over tv.

The whole thing is crazy. All over a little box that will soon be called a computer.

If the ORG does it to one; then they should do it to all.

This shows the true colors of the Powers that be in The UPCI.

COOP, It does no such thing. It shows that a DS has a lot of power.

I'm UPC, I have a TV with cable box hidden in my Armoire...the door stays open MOST of the time!

We need an EAST TEXAS district...perhaps one of the Stanley brothers could be DS. What do you think?

Sounds like maybe a little on the intimidation side of flexing a little structural muscle of "bless God that's not gonna happen on my watch" possibly.. and a warning to others...
