Just not interested based on content and seceduling. The only way I would ever consider subscribing to anything would be an "on demand" type service similar to the Internet. I absolutely can't stand a program dictating when and how I live real life.
Maturity in decision making was never the normal in legalistic circles.

Thus the invention of the DVR. :)

We hardly ever watch anything as it is being broadcast.

Watching BBQ PITMASTERS as I type this. I really like hearing the BBQing tips that the three judges give as they're watching the contestants.

Man, am I hungry!

A few years ago when I was the men's leader at my old church I invited the PAW pastor from across the street to come over and fellowship and bring a devotion and a word during a men's all-night prayer meeting.

Sunday morning during the leadership prayer and service plan meeting we were all told that we could not as a church fellowship with them because they watched cable TV and the women did not keep the standards.

I knew people in the church that had cable tv and watched it but nothing was ever said that I am aware of.

Whew!

It just seems that that there is a whole lot to preach for, and my list doesn't even scratch the surface.

But ya know, this is just me...as I say, I am not a preacher. :nod
Right. This is how Moderates do it :thumbsup
