Does anyone feel this is wrong or sinful ? I seen every season. It's the only show I do watch as to me TV takes away from being with the Lord thanks.

Thus, not black and white, but gray. Follow your conscience. For some it may be wrong, for some it may not be, it depends ......... You certainly don't want to pollute your mind with stuff that can tempt you toward sin, but I don't see how this show can do that. The violence probably won't make you violent. But again, we are all different at different places. I don't believe someone can just tell you this show is wrong or right for YOU TO WATCH and apply that to everyone. Be careful here brother.

If you feel that TV in general takes you away from the Lord and your conscience is (perhaps) causing you to question whether its a good idea. Stop watching for awhile and see how it affects your relationship with the Lord. I was drawn away from TV myself for a variety of reasons. First: I could not afford a new TV. Second: I had time for things like more time in Scripture and other things when I stopped spending so much time watching the tube. Third: I realized that between Amazon Prime and Netflix there's more than enough TV to watch on those rare occasions that I have time for it. Bottom line: I can't stand all the commercials on network TV and about 99% of the content any more. I just don't want to watch it for the most part, though there are a couple of shows I wouldn't mind seeing but those are exceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with playing video games. The bible says redeem the time. If we really believe in Christ's coming there is so much to do for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, but be careful here if you compare any activity with doing something for God. Is playing golf a waste of time? Or bowling? Or playing cards with friends?
