Ministerial Ethics, Dropping Out and TV: Did You Forget You Agreed to This?

[BrotherEastman]

Does it mean that I'm no longer a conservative because I don't agree with the conservatives about wanting to leave the org.?

Well this thread has me somewhat confused many on here have wanted the cons to leave and said so and now that it looks as if some are leaving they are fussing because they are leaving.

Sounds like what Dan wants is the con preachers to leave, but keep the churches so a liberal can take 'em and STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT!

Actually, Dan, you have a point--but I don't think it will apply in most cases. If you would consider that for years we were told to teach our people AGAINST the use of tv, and we had to agree to do so. Now, to expect churches who have had pastors that taught it with great conviction, and were WITH THE ORG on the matter, to remain with the UPC when the man they have known as pastor is leaving over his conviction, which MANY OF THEM SHARE...is asking the church forget all they have been taught, all they have known, and the man that they have loved as pastor. You can hardly blame that church for desiring to leave if they believe what he teaches, nor can you ask a man to suddenly reverse course on what he has taught as Bible simply because a manual nows says the opposite of what it once said. That is a ridiculous request.
