Can you turn your head fast enough when a less than Godly budweiser commercial comes on? Or maybe you can close your eyes and cover your ears real, real fast.

I pretty much do the same thing that I do everytime I drive by a less than Godly budweiser billboard, walk by a less than Godly magazine in the supermarket, have less than Godly advertisements on the same page as what I want to watch on youtube, have less than Godly advertisements when I check my yahoo mail, see a less than Godly book at Borders, see people dressed less than godly at the mall, see people drinking budweisers in real life, see people dressed scantily at the park, I could go on but I hope you see my point....
And no I don't "close your eyes and cover your ears real, real fast"...I would be in a car accident everyday.

Living your everyday life and seeing junk is different then choosing to watch tv, knowing you'll see junk for the sake of being entertained, or "educated".

We are to live in this world not seperate from it. We should insulate ourselves against the things that are not good. If I were to turn my head at every bad thing that came up throughout the day I would get no work done. I would not even get to my job. There would be no way for me to get to church. You insulate yourself to it and if you have God in your heart and life you certainly have no desire for the bad things.
Yes yes I know the scripture but we still have to LIVE IN this world. Israel did not keep from trading with the rest of the world. They simply took the good and left the bad behind. The same thing we have to do today in our society.

There is a difference between living your life and seeing junk..but.. to purposely put something in front of your face, knowing you'll see junk is not right. Rationalizing is the only option you have. Tv is for entertainment. You know Brother, I do not make these posts in maliciousness.

I do know. I just don't agree with you completely. =)
no. I just do not see it the same as you. TV does not stop us from our prayer life. TV does not stop us from our family time. If something is on that we do not approve of or like we change it or turn it off. We are always going to have things in our face that are not good. I understand what you say about why put it there unnecessarily. The point I am making is that I really can not go to work if I do that. We have billboards that advertise sex sex and more sex. Straight sex. Gay sex. There are advertisements for casino's. anything that anyone can call wrong all over the place. I really could not go to work if I had to close my eyes or turn my head at everything, and I only live 6 miles from my office.
That is why I say we insulate ourselves from it. We pray and serve God and avoid what we can. If you want to watch a show and something comes on you turn the channel or turn it off or down. Now days you can even tivo things and not have to watch the commercials.

Do you want me to go on with this subject or would you rather stop?
Having tv in your house, and you put it there, and you knew you'd see trash is different then going to work. You chose to be entertained and knew what you'd see was not good. Can you watch everything you watch, with your babies sitting next to you? Desensitized, is a word that comes to my mind.
Do you repent daily for setting something evil before your eyes... and not walking in thine house with a clean heart?? I'll discuss against tv as long as your up for it. Just because there are jerks in the ACI (in every org.) does not change the book.
