I read the press release and what I read into it was that we are free to boycott and we are not being told not to..and that it is within our right to do it. The only thing it said is that the church as an institution will not be doing it.
Tom Hanks is the one behind this and he is very anti-Mormon. He's made that very clear. As individual members of the church, we should think for ourselves before giving any group, person or company business. Long ago, I stopped watching Tom Hanks movies or giving money to HBO.
Why stop at AOL or HBO, why not extend it to any network they own or publication they own. People won't do it. It's not worth it to them.
My family just moved to a new place. We don't have cable tv yet, in fact, we don't even have a TV yet. I don't think I'm going to get one. I think I'm going to spend the money on something else.
