The bolded quote is where I think some of the problem lies. Many have looked at the TV prohibition as a human based principle when in fact it was put in place as an answer to protect the saints from erosion of Godly principles which were coming under attack through this medium. The church has always had the right to establish morality/moderation based upon current sinfulness of society as a whole.
The men who put the TV prohibition in place did so with prayer and a realization of its impact on the average person who would be impacted by its (TV) influence. It was not based on man made principle but rather to protect a Godly principle. Maybe it could be said mans rule placed to maintain Godly principle.
