Bad Rumor

I don't understand why this is considered a complex issue.  If I want to
go downtown and enter a pornography shop I can.  If I want to go to the local bar I can.  If I want to go anywhere that would be a detriment to a
Christian walk I am able to do so.  I choose not to because I want to
live for the Lord!  If I wanted to visit a site on the Internet that is
ungodly and immoral I can ... again I choose not to because I want to
live for God.  There is a point that the UPC must realize that it cannot
police the morals and intentions of the Saints of God.  They must live
for God because they choose to and the Holy Ghost leads them .. not because a manual says they shouldn't do so.  If the availability of access to
ungodly material on the Internet is a problem to an individual then they
should stay off of it. If they begin to spend too much time on it;  if
they begin to be addicted to it; then they should get off of it.
