I doubt if there was ever a majority preaching against radio.
Bottom line, it was never a stance taken officially by the org.
We crossed a line we have never before crossed last Friday.
Hope you don't see my posts as argument, because that's not my intention. I'm trying to understand this better, not being a minister nor been around them much (except for LR).
Do you see an honest difference in internet broadcasting and TV? I mean, assuming they will be doing the same thing on TV they are doing on internet.

No, I don't see all that much difference, although the argument can be made intelligently about the difference between the two media. I don't care to go into it--too much typing, and the mockers come out in force when you do that.
The thing that bugs me as much as anything is that, like i said: for the first time, we revered a position that we have taken on separation from the world.
That is signifigant in a holiness-minded organization.
Once you cross that line, it is easier to do it next time.
It isn't just the decision; it's what the decision symbolizes.
Well, now we will see in a few years who was right--the elders, or the young guys that want the liberty to try this thing out.
I say it will change the UPC, and over a period of time, she will no longer be recognizable.
In my area, that kind of thing will be a long time coming, I believe...
But not so far away in some places
CS, are you honestly suggesting that this is the beginning of a 'slippery slope' that will happen? If so, I'm not following your logic, considering that other Apostolic orgs have been doing the TV thing for years and remain steadfast.

We reversed a position that we have long held on a separation issue, right or wrong.
That is what starts the slippery slope--not just the fact that it is tv.

Thanks for the info. I understand you better now. I'd like to say more but I also don't want the mockers coming around and turning this into something other than what we have here.

understand the Organization UPC has been a swinging door for 30 years..
One of the main test of the character of an organization is: do the youth grow up and stay close? I don't know the UPC's record in this area, but it seems to be weak?
Anyone one know the % of second generation UPC that remain UPC?
