A man could honestly say he does not own one, and sign the affirmation statement, even though his wife or kids may own one in his home.

I love the way legalism always has loopholes.

Makes things so much more fun.

I quote, 2006 UPCI manaul, section under Ministry, Article VII, section 7, # 31 on page 49, "No minister having a television in his or her home shall be permitted to hold license or credentials with the United Pentecostal Church International. Furthermore, no United Pentecostal Church Internatinal minister shall be permitted to advertise or minister on television. This does not preclude unsolicited representatives of the news media coving functions."

The part in blue has changed. Now they can preach on tv nd advertise on tv but can not have a tv in their home.

A licensed UPCI minister can not have a tv in their HOME.

If I am wrong, please state section, article #, section #, page # and quote it.

This article states "No minister having a television."

It says nothing about his wife or kids.

What if he rents it? Does that mean he "has" a television?
