Internet and TV

[ILG]

The ultracons (what a fun term!) have been watching attempt after heart-rending attempt by those leaving in protest of "rules" to perform that backwards-triple-gainer off the high dive. So many have smacked their chin on the diving board during this grand attempt to enter the warm waters below that the ultracons have deemed it part of being a good neighbor to grab the arm of friends and loved ones as they reach for the ladder, and say, "this may not be such a great idea."

All kids fall down when learning to walk. Maybe it's better to put them in a wheelchair rather than let them fall down. We can protect ourselves to the point that we never learn to walk with God but become spiritually invalid (read the term invalid either way!!!) instead.

Of a certainty things are changing. Information and content are ever-more-readily available. The content is designed to seduce. One can take great pains to sift through it to preserve the "rightness" of their heart. Or one can leave it alone entirely and use that time to take food to somebody or crack open the bible.

If you remember, I started this thread with the intent to say why I have internet but still do not have a hooked up TV after two years of being outside of the UPC. The arguments against TV have merit. They always have and always will. What doesn't have merit is the exclusion of brethren who choose otherwise.
