Are all the cons are packing up ship so quickly. Hopefully some will stay and have their voices continued to be heard.
This resolution is not condoning general TV viewing but it is allowing the UPC to air their version of Christianity to the lost who watch TV. Does the UPC AOF forbid TV? Disapproval is not the same as forbid.
So who is betraying who? The TV resolution does not go against the AOF.

I think the issue is that the org has always been a holiness org, and the AS upheld this. What has happened now is that something that many holiness minded folks see as a door of worldly influence, has been
"officially" opened,
officially being the key word.. While no one is foolish enough to believe that many had tv in their homes, the
official stance being changed now changes, in many eye's, the direction of the org as far as holiness goes.
