So what if your pastor told you no? And you say the majority of TV has no value, so I give you this question, why dig through a garbage can to get a T-Bone steak?
I am not the type of person that takes yes or no and gets up to walk out the door (Newsflash right???) I would pend my question as I do on many occasions, "If not then why not?"
Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell a vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
The son of man has risen, so it's TVs for everyone!

That's my vote for post of the week tstew. I got a good laugh out of that.
Lacking sound scriptural doctrine in banning something like TV, radio or the internet why would I not have one? Scripture neither speaks for or against.
What scripture does teach is to be holy in all I do. That would apply to my tv, radio, internet, places I go, relationships, treatment and attitude toward my family and others, and any other aspect of my life.
Why would I not have a TV or any other technological devices if I don't partake of unholy things through those mediums?
I eat in Chili's and Applebee's restaurants all over the country and have my food and water or coke and don't smoke with the smokers or drink with the drinkers. Should I stop going into those restaurants because unholy behavior is available to me? I don't think so.
Don't say that. I'm going to wind up all over the "narcissism" thread like Ferd.

Please don't apply logic to the situation, we will have none of that my friend!!

The scriptures used for television being OK, would be the same ones used for the use of internet or for the reading of books. What were those again??
Unless proof is given, (and oh, dear Lord, imagine going to the church that required that) that the only books read are educational, and the only internet usage is for work or education (which being on this website would negate that) the argument has no legs.
Now, I don't think there is anything wrong with a pastor discouraging the use of TVs, but to make it a matter of heaven or hell, well...
