This was quite a thing...for the first time, the UPC totally reversed a stand on separation.
This has caused a LOT of men to lose trust in the organization. It isn'tonly the issue--it is the willingness of the majority to remove a landmark. When you've done it once, it's easier to do it again.

CS, is this really the first time for a major upheaval in the org? Why was there not a mistrust in the org with the AS, even among conservatives? The AS was a HUGE reversal of the original intent of the formation of the org which included two bodies, PCI and PAJC. The AS caused one set of believers to be left out in the cold. Why did any liberals stay in the org after the signing of the AS as their trust was betrayed? Maybe they stayed hoping to make it a better org in the long run. Are all the cons are packing up ship so quickly. Hopefully some will stay and have their voices continued to be heard.
This resolution is not condoning general TV viewing but it is allowing the UPC to air their version of Christianity to the lost who watch TV. Does the UPC AOF forbid TV? Disapproval is not the same as forbid.
So who is betraying who? The TV resolution does not go against the AOF.
