I know that this issue has been talked about too much already, however I have a question of my own.
Now with that said I truly believe God speaks to the heart of pastors and gives them direction concerning there own congregation. If any of the above was not being used appropriately than of course that local pastor would need to address that, with the members who could not control the internet or TV.
Anyway just my ****** common sense opinion. ************
God Bless.
I agree with your suggestion, ,,and commonsense!

If there was a government mandate that all citizens, including children, watch two hours of television per night, and it was all government propaganda, would you resist?
Now, what if it was all propaganda, in the form of "documentaries" that disproved the bible and Christianity?
And last but not least, what if just your children were required to watch, and what if it wasn't blatant propaganda at all, but was subtle, almost subliminal, programming intended to limit critical thought, promote emotional reaction over rational reason, and deconstruct traditional values of family, patriarchy, self-sacrifice, and freedom?
Because that's what we're getting.

Your capacity for mockery is only exceeded by your incapacity to comprehend.
The programming and commercials aren't good, psychologically, for us to watch. You probably consider yourself immune to the power of suggestion, but that just shows that you are becoming calloused to the siren song of blasphemy and hedonism. Your children are

I comprehend that you did not follow all of my posts on this thread concerning this matter...
I have a greater level of ability to comprehend than you do obviously....
I also comprehend that your spirituality has to be legislated and that you have no way to control the works of your own flesh or to gird up your own mind or to think on the right things without a total prohibition and abstinence...
I comprehend that you cannot afford to watch those commercials because you have no self control....
I finally comprehend that you started a sentence about my children but failed to finish it...
Oh one more thing, I comprehend that you don't know jack squat about my children so I'd suggest you leave them out of this....
OP_CARL: your correct on one point.....there is some things on TV you shouldn't watch........CHANGE THE CHANNEL.........TURN IT OFF.......CONTROL TV......JUST LIKE YOU DO THE INTERNET.....(oh i forgot....you probably think there is no sinfulness and "propaganda" on the internet....that's why your here .....right???

Point taken, except there is no mandate.
I watch very little television, but still want the option of turning on the news or the football game should my sweet little one decide to nap at an appropriate time.
