Inconsistencies are often both frustrating and hilarious...
For instance...
A man forbids his wife and/or daughters to be seen by a male doctor.
Yet the same man has absolutely no problem with his son going into the medical profession to be a doctor or nurse or other such occupation that involves the examination of women.
:sshhh
Just sharing one I've always found amusing...

1. They disapprove of unwholesome radio programs and music yet then turn around and disapprove of the entire medium of television carte blanch. Why? Why are people found capable of judging between wholesome radio and not wholesome TV?
2. They disapprove of several different activities... But.. although they disapprove of dancing... would there be a problem with a preacher preaching to those lost sinners at a dance? Although they disapprove of "amusements" would they have a problem with a preacher preaching to those lost sinners at the amusement park? Yet... although they disapprove of TV they also disapprove of a preacher preaching to those lost sinners watching the TV?
Oh consistency, thou art a jewel! (G.T. Haywood)
I was thinking the same thing...how is it someone can be called Ultra Conservative and not be against Internet? Someone says this Res 4 is inconsistent for the UPC also being against TV. Well actually the UPC has been inconsistent for years by being against TV and not Internet

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
LC is sketching KW, who is lying on a couch...nude...it only shows his sketch of her top half (doesn't actually show her full frontal)...which I suppose is pretty mild content from a secular point of view, but for a UC Youth Group, it should've been shocking enough to warrant a walk-out.
Oh, yeah...there's also a scene where they're making out in the back of an old car, and...well...the windows steam up, and then you see (from the outside of the car), her fingers slide down the window, making marks in the steam.
Definitely not something I'd want MY 13 year old daughter to go see on a youth trip! (There were a couple of kids on the trip I referenced, 13, 14 years old.) If I recall, the movie is rated PG-13, which to my mind, means, "barely passable for adult viewing in most cases." Definitely not for 13 year olds!

Wanna hear something FUNNY? (Going to tell you anyway....)
Independent, very strict church in LA...takes their youth group on a trip to Houston...while there, they go see Titanic, permission granted because the pastor was told OR the pastor's wife thought OR the pastor's wife thought she was told (however it happened) that it was a "documentary." ROFL In a regular theater. With the sketching scene and all. No one walked out, btw.
Our church and Christian school was always so proud of their conservative stance, yet in the last few years before we had left, they decided to allow trips to IMAX to watch documentaries. One memorable trip that our Christian school took to IMAX was to see a documentary of wild animals in Africa or something along those lines (I didn't go on this trip)...with elementary and high-schoolers.
