If I understand what a true monitor is????? it is a screen that can only pick up what is ran to it by a cord. It can not pick up outside signals though the air unless its been altered. But you said a VCR has a tuner. Can I pick up tv channels on a VCR that has a tuner and play them on a true monitor.
But then again nowdays we have wireless. I'm not sure but there may be wireless monitors on the market. What do they receive. Can they pick up other signals are only coded ones.
I know I just need to  and pray and let it go. As my wife says, I'm just trying to make Heaven. I think I'll join her.  |
Not to speak for Brad, but back when VCRs were legalized, there were monitors that had no tuner in them at all, specifically designed for VCRs. They were very expensive, so many ministers bought televisions and just didn't hook them up to an antenna, cable, etc. They were only hooked up to the VCR, so they were in reality nothing more than monitors.
However, the argument was, even though unhooked from any outside broadcasting source, these "monitors" were still televisions, and not only did they violate the manual, they created the undue temptation for a minister to buy a set of "rabbit ears" at the store and watch Sunday afternoon football when he should be lying on his face before God.
