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?

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.

I know many conservatives who watch News clips from Fox and CNN off of the internet including YouTube clips Yet they do not have a TV.
Does anyone have an opinion on this ? is this inconsistant ?

You can say that, but you don't know who is or is not. Unless you have spys that follow everyone around all day long, even into their bedroom at night, you just don't know

To me it depends on how it is taught in the church. I don't think that is necessarily a conservative issue. My church takes a stand against TV, but does not call it a "sin". It is an inanimate object, it in and of itself cannot be be a sin. It is the content that can be viewed that can become sin. They have always allowed video, with guidelines. My pastor has already layed the ground work of self-disipline, realizing that in a few years it will have to become a morality issue, non-legislated, if we are going to exist in our society without becoming like the Amish. In that scenario, if I were to find out that my pastor were watching news anywhere, it would not bother me. If my pastor taught that TV in and of itself was a sin, and you were going to hell if you watched it, (after I left that church because of un-Biblical teaching) I would think it was highly inconsistant.
