Hello tstew,
I believe the men on the Executive Council are true Men of God. I do understand where your coming from. When the UPC was formed and or merged or when any other oneness organization has beed started I'm not sure if it could be done without upsetting people. I do not believe the WPF was started all because of the tv issue. The tv issue was just like the straw (brick) that broke the camels back. The WPF is just holding the standard where it has been (trying to go by the bilble and the upc manual) for years. I think we have to keep television out of the Church and its been proven that you cannot do that and use it for advertising and broadcasting. As far as going amish.. I'd rather by associated with the amish than the charismatics.
God Bless.

Bro Tim, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to hear your personal argument for banning advertisement on television while embracing almost unlimited utilization of the internet...including youtube broadcasts that are similar to TV in everyway except that it is on a computer monitor. And also do you know if the business owners involved in the WPF shun television advertising for their businesses as well. Also is there a stance against phones and other forms of technology that can receive television signals since even the definition of television that existed years ago is virtually obsolete.
