Yes, internet has it's pitfalls-one is wasting time taking away from the work of God & spending time with ones own family.

I will say this, if TV advertising turns out to be the thing that causes "large legitimate evangelism" resulting in a huge influx to our churches while not watering down our doctrine-I will be the first to stand up and apologize!

I can do that-ask Ferd.

Right now, I just think that the cost is too great if it results in a split.
I hate splits & division and I know God does as well.

***SIGH***

the thing is... I don't think its this issue that is causing the split...

I think, especially reading the posts of the UCs on here and realizing they are splitting and planning on doing it immediately after it was passed, that they were only going to stay as long as everything was done exactly how they wanted it...

it was only a matter of time before those brethren either split or forced the people they didn't want around (the people on the more liberal side of things) to split...

a split was inevitable because one side refused to even discuss things... no amount of negotiation or time or anything was going to stop the inevitable...
