You wouldn't know logic if it came up to you and backslid all over your face! Sorry, I couldn't resist!
Apparently some use the internet to be jerks, and to try to be comedians.
Sorry, didn't read the rest of the thread.

First of all, i doubt you would do that. On the other hand, how do you know where to get that T-Bone steak? Hmm... surfing?
Apparently, he doubts your integrity, Tstew.
And, B, for those of us who are TV afficianados, there's this thing called TV Guide, or there's even a channel on digital cable or satellite to tell you EXACTLY where the T-Bone is.
Or, we could surf our UC approved internet to find the TV schedule.

Ok, you guys have fought us and tried to back us into a corner regarding the reason as to why we don't watch TV, and our conviction against it. You always want to know WHY we don't watch it, WHY we don't have one, SCRIPTURE as to why we do... So now, I want to know, WHY? Why do you have one? Where is the scripture that says you can? Where is the foundation for your argument saying that you should be able to watch it?
HAVE FUN!
Actually you were fighting US and no we haven't asked why, we knew why. We just think it's inconsistant with not preaching against the internet. I don't care if you don't watch TV.,

There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
If you would read the thread like, Ventura camp meeting, Tulsa Time... So on and so forth. And if you aren't included in "you guys" then don't respond. I don't believe in surfing the web, so who are "those same people?"
Well maybe some TV owners don't believe in channel surfing either and onlhy go to specific channels they know are ok

If that's so, then how do you FIND those places?
Call me a skeptic, but some things are pretty unbelievable.........

Kendrick, you probably don't even know my name, so I'm not even going to address whether your doubt of what my Holy Ghost and conscience guide me to do really matters to me. As for the second part, there are so many places where you find out what is showing that I don't even know where to begin. I guess when something has been so engrained in you you don't really need logic to defend or understand it.
But having said all this I already can see that this convo is pretty much hopeless.

I guess I'm not one of those "guys" you describe above but I'll chime in anyhoo...
First of all, I haven't really seen anyone tell others that they HAD to have a television. The argument is usually - "Who are you to tell others that they cannot have a television. This is an important distinction because it focuses upon individual freedoms and conscience (Romans 14).
I think at least some of your apparent anger or frustration should be dispelled when you see the strawman in your argument.
Next, for myself... there is obviously no Scriptural reason to have to have a television- any more than there's any reason to put our Bibles into codex form instead of the ancient scroll format used by the originals. There are simply matters of convenience and expedience involved. Technology should make our lives better.
So, once you stop projecting your own desire to control upon others and realize that most people have a live and let live attitude about these things, you will finally be at peace with yourself and, I believe, your friendships and other relationships will thrive.
... Not to mention the benefit that such peace will bring to your walk with God.

Speaking of "walk", where is your scriptural permission to own a car. Do you know how many people those vile things kill every year? Why would you want to spend thousands of dollars supporting such an evil industry?
