Do your homework before you make statements like this. The stance against TV was one of the reasons I joined the org so when it changes that stance it is worth me leaving over.

If its a stance you want...
How about the stance against video? When video first came out, the UPC took a stance against. That later changed. Since you are still here, apparently that change didn't bother you.
Furthermore, it is actually video capability that caused many to see the various ministry opportunities and/or enhancements opening up due to video.
It is also video capability and the allowance of such that caused many pastors, including one of my former pastors, to become concerned that things were beginning to slide down a slippery slope and there would be no stopping it.
And what about some of these "other" stances?
Like "worldly amusements" for example. The UPC took a stance against such long long ago. In writing, it has not changed. In reality, it has changed.
Same goes for professional sports which included not only sports on the adult level but organized sports in grade school - school teams. First little league was deemed as OK. Some even said it was good for kids to be involved and that they obtained valuable life experiences from it. Then it moved on to Jr. High and then to High School. Whats next? College? The NFL, NBA, etc.?
While I understand your personal issue in regards to TV and thats your choice, I have to ask, why pick on that one issue? What about these other things? Are you only UltraCon in regards to TV?
