Yes, I also watch news and sometimes PBS. I watch a little of NHK, a Japanese station with good, interesting programming. If the operatic 10 year old doesn't win, I also like the acrobatic dance group from the slums of India. I thought the teenager who played classical guitar should have been in the finals....he was fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young man who has autism, who is blind, and can play the piano (and sing) with such talent on a stage in front of so many people amazes me From last week's broadcast, it looked like the acrobats from India, and the African American choir are up for the next round of competition. I missed most of the season due to a cable dispute with NBC and CBS. Hopefully, in my new flat I will have a better line in for viewing. Overall everything will be better there, I just can't drive my 2016 Ford Fiesta anymore. So, I'll be around 24/7. I've been told they take trips to the zoo and other field trips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting way to look at it. And so true. Thanks for posting it. My favorite 'go-to verse' about viewing habits (ranging from what you watch to what you read/pictures in magazines) is Psalms 101:3 “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” I agree with our brother King David in that scripture. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. If we don't bother watching (or reading/looking at) junk in the first place, we won't have to deal with the fallout (of images we'll regret later. OR the need to deprogram our minds from the world's corrupt agendas/worldviews.) I think of it as what has been described as "garbage in/garbage out." What we see/hear is bound to affect us to some degree. Our minds are like a computer taking in data and filing it away to access later. This was captured well in the lyrics of a song especially for children, but applies to all people. It is called "Input/Output (The Computer Song.) I will be posting the words into a separate thread I'm starting...called Lyrics that pack a punch (songs with messages that matter.) I hope some of you will visit and enter hard hitting/important lyrics from Christian songs you know in it. GBU. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to play the piano like he does while blind! Remember his family saying before he started singing, etc, he wouldn't even like to be touched. Now he lets his family hug him.

I do remember the first channel clicker and audible bell tone ringer from the Zenith TV maker and thinking as the channels could be clicked without getting up that this could be addictive just sit and click. Course half the noises of passing cars also set off the channel selector and the tv would change channels- all what was it, four of them? Opiate of the people- and the programming, well it doesn't even have to exist anymore. There aren't any real programs just time fillers and rather sick minded ten second spots, twenty to thirty of them that run back to back to back selling stuff and trying to convince me that I can have a perpetual capacity. Ha yeah sure. The tension that watching non programming and all those ten second spots makes me leave and wander the kitchen, and guess what? - I eat something, anything. Three weeks in the woods with no tv, I lost 17 pounds without trying. Pull the plug on all tv including Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu, is my personal goal. Almost wish my Rays will get eliminated from the playoffs so that I can cancel cable now. But that is the one weakness that is left to conquer in our household. The idol of Major League Baseball. I had it beat years ago when they went on strike I went on a permanent strike from it. Somehow it revived after many many years and we both watch and follow the Rays. A very unproductive time filler that destroys opportunity to be engaged in real activity. While without tv my eyes adjusted to reading again - books those quaint multi paged binders full of information. What a delight they are, whether the Bible, commentaries, the stories of real life and of application of God's word, and generations of histories, all at my own pace! I can read, let my mind engage or even wander too. I wander to what if's. And- I sleep the sleep of a young child complete with dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree. They are deplorable in a lot of ways, and not usually immoral at all. No swearing that can be recalled in most of them, and nothing overtly suggested either. It's just that reality programs aren't very realistic. It's as convincing as watching wrestling, and I find that absolutely ridiculous. No one could possibly survive that many injuries, and then go on to the off-mat dramas included. What brilliant entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
