How is taking college classes online any different from watching educational television? or watching youtube or a church webcast?

Mizpeh, thanks for the comments. I have already made my mind up that if the RES passes then I will leave. We have a circle of fellowship set up already so we won't be out there as a lone ranger. There will be life after the UPC. Besides that, the UPC is not the church. It is possible to be apart of the body of Christ without being in the UPC.
I would at least hope that most people would see a difference between going to school online and watching TV. I can't think of anybody that has a TV that "just" watches educational videos. You may be the first but I just don't believe this is the case with everybody. There are discussions on here about R Rated movies, PG-13 movies, TV shows called wifeswap, and people that have south park avatars. How can you expect people to stop at just educational? We preach against TV period. As far as YouTube goes, I don't watch it. I don't watch preaching videos either. I try to stay consistant in what I believe. Others may not but I happen to agree with Larry Booker's view of the internet as a library. I pull from it only what I want and NOTHING more. I know there is evil at my fingertips but I have set up a safety net to keep me from those things. It's obvious that the TV watchers have no intention at just watching educational given some of the movie topics found on AFF.
