Sorry....another..TV Question

I know that this issue has been talked about too much already, however I have a question of my own.

In the UPCI manual under the "Position Papers" section, there is a paragraph on the official position of the UPC in regards to internet use (this came out in 1998).

Rather than attempt to ban the internet, the UPC simply cautions everyone on its usage. The article recommends that the members of the UPC control, regulate, and be accountable when using the internet. But it doesn't BAN it.

Question: What would be wrong with changing the TV stand to this same type of sensible wording? Rather than having a total ban on TV why not copy the same wording on internet use and apply it to TV??

ANY thing that we MISUSE in this world is wrong. There is no way one could ban every thing that has the possibility of being misused.

Now with that said I truly believe God speaks to the heart of pastors and gives them direction concerning there own congregation. If any of the above was not being used appropriately than of course that local pastor would need to address that, with the members who could not control the internet or TV.

Anyway just my common sense opinion.

God Bless.
