What about weeping for that teenage girl who committed suicide rather than tell her parents that she was pregnant?
What about weeping for the drug addict - including millions of prescription drug addicts - and alcoholics who are wallowing in their helplessness?
What about weeping for men, women, and children around the world who are dying of AIDS and every other horrible disease imaginable?

If any of us should weep it should be for this older lady who is weeping about a tv commercial for a church that might lead someone to Jesus Christ and eternal life.

I am sorry I ever mentioned it in the first place, but I do believe they would try to find a way to do it.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere, so you really are not saying that the Brothers would enact Stalag 13?

You have hit the nail on the head here.

Bro. Benincasa,

I cannot vouch for the specific incidents that Thad is speaking of but I can confirm that events like he has described have happened.

One of my best friends' dad used to drive around looking for the unholy glow and then he would preach AT the offenders the following service! He has actually sat folks down for the unholy glow.

There is also a church in this area where the pastor has set a limit to the number of curls the young ladies can have in their hair. This is only one of his many unique guidelines.

It IS NOT COMMON but it has and does happen.

You lost me friend. I do not possess your intelligence.

What does the bolded refer to?

I will freely admit to being conflicted about this. Growing up in a family of bootleggers, it was ingrained in me at an early age not to be a tattler. That is a part of my nature. So while I think a man who has both a license and a tv ought to be dealt with, I couldn't file charges myself.

Ideally, an elder ought to approach such a man privately and entreat him as a brother regarding the integrity issue in his life.

If he refuses, then he ought to be disfellowshipped.

I agree in principle.

But how would the elder even know he had a tv? How do you deal with that?
