Ok...but what about the computer? You can watch Mpegs...most new computers have a DVD player built in....in fact ALL newer computers have a DVD player built in. Is it Microsoft? Did you uninstall Windows Media Player and all other media players? Do you have flash installed in Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use?
Does this injunction include not watching Oneness preaching on the internet?
Do you have a cell phone or digital camera that takes and views video?

And also pay money to be apart of it? The resolution 4 just pushed them over the edge. We just have backbone to stand up for whats right!

I DON'T understand. I am sorry, I am not trying to pick a fight, but it is unfathomable to me, just impossible to understand. You make this statement while typing it on on a computer linked to whatever type of internet access you are using. Through that connection comes everything that you get on television, and things a million times worse. But for some reason you have the ability to control what you consume and view on the computer, but not TV? And you are willing to leave an organization over television advertisement, feeling like you are taking the moral high ground. I completely understand not wanting to have television in your home, that is your decision, and probably a good one. But unless you are willing to take the same stand against the internet, and cell phones, your statements and views make no sense to me, and your words ring hollow.
NOT an attack, just my opinion.

Right...then someone could also have a TV and understand the dangers of it and filter or be discerning against certain bad content and avoid them....right?

I confess all this techno stuff is over my head. But the principle is the same. I don't have a television, or have Hollywood commercial style video, or watch anything like that on DVD or anywhere else.
