Buy this book, buy that book...don't overlook this teaching all for a cost! I can only imagine the Apostle Paul coming to town for a "crusade" pre-empted by his entourage "preparing" the convention center with huge screens, multiple seating and " Please don't forget to ' visit ' the literature table, all for an ' offering ' " It seems like certain ones are using a " resolution " to put down on someone when this organization is guilty of it in another form!

So who were the one's who were preparing to commercialize? It wasn't the conservatives, but was it the illegalists?

No they didn't. Fred Flintstone Holy Ghost? Yeah right, talk about Mensa, Price has more sense than that.

And this is coming from a man who believes cartoons helps kids get the Holy Ghost. Good grief.

Evang. Ben,

I see the old Ben is back, the current news has created a field day for your old man, wouldn't you agree?

I know you are capable of better. Blessings, Bro.

First of all if people don't want to look at ads, don't look at them. When you flip a magazine do you read the ads? Radio do you turn it off? Bill boards? Internet websites are full of ads..

Yes, it is a time waster. Why is it that my cousin who prayed for me to come into the church and was PAOC but left that organization to go independent told me about ten years after I was saved that she turned off the TV?

And no she isn't UPCI and would probably be considered a liberal here.

Why is it national organizations tell people to turn off the TV?
And not in the name of religion either?

I can answer that with this question-

Why don't the Liberals go and form thier own Organization instead of trying to force the UPCI to change to please them?

That question is for arguments sake.

Welllll......I don't really listen to the radio anymore, even the news is bad.
I can choose which magazines to buy or read.
Newspapers? I don't have the time, nor the interest anymore (too much pro gay garbage imo).

Video games are not all bad, but some are. There are some I refuse to let my kids play.

ANYTHING can be a time waster. Including this discussion

Why is it Catholics claim to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost? Why do Muslims claim to receive miracles from Allah. No disrespect intended, but this proves nothing to me

Honestly I don't care. It proves nothing to me. You think it's a sin to have a mustache? I know men that claim God told them to shave. How about magic hair? Lot's of people are claiming things. Testimonies don't make something true....BTW I hear Tide gets the stains out....they got testimonies

Who cares? What does it prove? BTW they said "turn the TV off"? Right? not "Get RID of the TV" or "It's a SIN to own one"?

Again, this proves nothing. There are organizations that say men should be allowed to have sexual relations with boys...does that make it true? Of course not.

What if we can find groups that say "get off the internet"...will you get off?

What if the internet is wrong?

Is TV still a good medium-yes or no?

I never said anything was bad...I think you are missing the point. They can all be time wasters. You can choose what channels to watch or not watch or even shut off when you don't feel like watching. Same with radio and internet and magazines.

They can ALL provide good and bad content.
