The only way content is separated in a discussion about media is if you talk about the internet.
Here is the formula
Bad content on television=bad television
Bad content on internet= Okay if you use filters, share password with spouse, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Content for legalists is separated on when it is convenient for them.

But aren't you expressing concern over content and not the medium itself? That's one reason many were looking for amendments - to control the content.
The UPC has a big opportunity to either reinvent televison evagelism, or to make themselves look silly.

I truly am concerned about the mental health of a couple of people who have posted on this thread.

Is it "legalism" if a person does not think anything about TV is wholesome?
Do you know for a fact that a lot of these "UC" have computers or do you even
know what they are doing with them?
Computers are not just for the Internet.
I have a cousin who has a computer at home but is not on the internet-doesn't trust it. He thinks too many are watching you surf.
Oh by the way he is not Apostolic!
Computer-many uses. TV-One main use.

You spend less time in probably a lot of things.

Research commercialized evangelism? Go to Barns and Noble and proceed right to the Management section and look up how you can market Christ. It may improve your out reach and attitude towards those who are telling YOU the truth. The vote was for the little guy; it was for the big guys.

Forcing me to sell myself and the Christ I serve? Oh yeah I am running to do that? I can just imagine the horror shows that will be produced, and sooner or later it will become the same old televangelism that has been around for years. Sorry Pentecost you are 30 years too late.

Legalism? So does that make you an illegalist?

Commercials are for making money not converts. They tell you it's about soul winning and then...the make-up artist comes out and applies the base.

We were on TV for three years and Eddie NEVER wore any makeup! I think I would have to run out laughing if he did.

Were you on a local cable station? You are a wonderful couple and your avatar is nice, but the cameras pick up people and make them look pale and also larger. It's been a long time since I have viewed anything so maybe things have changed.
