So if you were born and raised in the upc.. who taught you that tv may be ok? Cause for yrs. its been against the the "rules" to own one as a minster and we were told to teach the saints against it.
Nobody "taught me that TV is ok". I don't have to be taught to question the double standard in the stance. I don't have to be told what to think about everything. I'm thankful that I was not taught to be that way by any of my pastors.
I have been taught to study myself to show myself approved so that I am not ashamed by the stances that I take or an inabilty to fully explain them.
The point that I have been trying to make is that I am very evangelistic by nature. I go to a very evangelistic church and as a result I deal with new members and visitors on a weekly basis. It is not enough to tell those people that something is illogical but "its been against the the "rules" to own one as a minster and we were told to teach the saints against it". I think that a lot of people who do such things are not dealing with hundreds of new people as a result of their church growth and are dealing with the same people and able to rely on the old party line.
