If you're going to be a licensed UPC preacher, then yes, I think it's a compromise to sign something and not live up to it - integrity comes to mind

I didn't ask if he had one, I asked do you think it's a compromise to allow tv? Like in your church.

Not meaning specifically your church, any church, is it a compromise to allow TV in the church, In your opinion.

I think it's compromise to "forbid" TV when condoning internet.

That's about where I come down too in this day and time.
My BIl is death against TV which is fine with me, but little does he know that his daughter down loads her favorite TV shows onto her IPOD 
Technology has outflankded us - It's all or nothing

We don't really have to condone or forbid the technology... just approach it the same way we approach books and magazines.

I'm not focusing on JUST do's and don'ts. I realize that there will ALWAYS be those who just keeps laws on the outside and not have those laws written in their hearts, but I do think that everyone who walked close to God had an obedient spirit

Re: God is All Knowing So Why Does it Matter?
I don´t have a TV but may I say most of these things boil down to two words: The Heart...
My dear travelers keep your heart pure and clean...learn to love and forgive. Learn to pray and wish your enemies well...doing this you will be protecting yourself and saving your own soul.
