I do think that buying a car from a stranger and church leadership is a tad different.

It goes like this: “True we don’t believe in the viewing of TV for moral purposes, however, we are doing our best to let the community know who we are what we believe.
Furthermore, if Hollywood can use this to captivate the minds of the public, surely we can use it to spread the gospel.”
This is how you explain the use of it and not viewing it.

Have at it, if that's what you want to do, but I will remain the consistant, stick in the mud, anti Hellywood, non tv watcher.

I just occurred to me: an unscrupulous TV station could sell ad time to the UPCI, collect the money but not actually air the ads, and the UPCI will never know!

hopefully the ad execs don't realize this and try it...

although it would be a good way to fish out who has a tv among the members of a church

preacher: EVERYONE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU SAW OUR AD ON THE TV THIS WEEK!!

:hands go up:

preacher: YOU ARE ALL SINNERS!! YOU SHOULD NOT BE WATCHING TV!! HELL!! ALL OF YOU!! HELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Timmy,
I read alot of forums and have a good sense of humor, but rarely do I, while reading forums actually bust out laughing out loud.
Well, Your post is the exception. I enjoyed your perspective. LOL
