This may seem extreme but it is a way for me to assure accountablity to my wife and my ministry.

You can do the same with TV. See you don't have to force people to not own TVs or not be allowed to advertise on TV. Advertisement on the Internet is somehow not seen as approval of ALL Internet yet somehow advertisement on TV ends up being equated with approving of ALL TV...that does not make sense

I don't think apostolics should play or participate in organized sporting events. To the TV issue I say this: when does it stop? I have to make my mind up and say at some point it's too much and I have to leave. For me, TV is that issue. It's no different than the others but it is a position that I refuse to go into. There are lot's of things that I disapprove of in the UPC but TV is the issue that I set as a boundry and said, "if they cross this then i'm out".

You say this on the internet............

Do you not see the irony here? Honestly.

I would like your pastor to come on here and admit this. I don't think you should be speaking for him.

Why should this matter? You must think I go to a dead dried up old fashioned church.

I don't...I'm just wondering how many people there are that you know for a FACT don't watch TV and do control the internet in your church...

Most UCs I know may not own a tv...but they watch it at grandma's and the hotel room....

My Pastor doesn't get on here much. We are very close and I know for a fact that he submits to a pastor not an org.
