I am calling it quits here. I think this is one of those topics where no bodies wins. So all I can say is. If you don't think Stranger Things is the show for you, then don't watch. And so with that I am ending my discussion in this thread. So have fun, and God Bless everyone! Edited October 16, 2019 by LadyKay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah 17:5 5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. There is a reason why God says these things. when you entertain evil, you invite evil in.

I mean people got shot on "Gun Smoke". They even died. Well in the show not in real life I mean. You all had John Wayne and I am sure he tossed some people out the salon doors and throw them over the bar and then the bar maid hit then on the head with a bottle. I've seen a lot of John Wayne movies and he had some violent ones . I grew up watching westerns. So I know this stuff went on. So don't be telling me that tv back then was all about Beaver and Wally. Because I know it wasn't. No children were shot on those programs. None were tortured and few were subjected to brutal acts on the part of adults. Until recently, Hollywood's policy regarding children was hands off. If anything along those lines was suggested it was generally done off-camera. The 'stuff' you speak of didn't 'go on'. Oh by the way, the actor John Wayne had a personal policy that his character would never shoot a man in the back. Most of his violence involved fist fights. Guns and knives were not often used. There were reasonable and consistently applied principles of performance 'back in the day' that have been abandoned for profit and grotesque reality. And in case its not been noticed, virtually all of the movies today have an occult orientation, display extreme violence, glorify social dysfunction and magnify the horror of war as though it was something to be admired. It isn't. There will never be peace for America until we learn the idea that true heroes are those who heal, who build, who behave morally toward others, who educate, who put out fires and those who work for peace everywhere. Peace has become a four-letter word - alien and foreign and relegated to a time in the distant past. War and terror and hatred and bullying and destruction are our idols today. A generation has arisen that knows not God and cares less about His power and glory. We shall pay a heavy price for abandoning the principles that built our civilization - and for forgetting God. that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

A few years ago I use to watch the 'Walking Dead', I thought it extremely funny and ridiculous. Something came over me and my viewing habits changed quite a bit. Garbage in, garbage out also came to mind. To one extent or another and perhaps subconsciously, I think we're influenced with everything that passes through our senses and it's recorded. Case in point: If I would start off an advertisement jingle, how many could finish the jingle? I'd assume more Christians would know more jingles than Bible verses by a margin of 10: 1 whether they realized it or not. It's been decades but... You'll wonder where that yellow went when you brush your teeth with _________________. Brill Cream, a little dab ___ __ __ ________, the breakfast of champions. Cereal with a tiger: THEY'RE G____ Speaking for myself; there are literally hundreds of jingles I could finish just hearing a word or two from the beginning. Am I the rare example?

Does anyone see any parallels in our reality? HOLLYWOOD apologetics in full operation and influence - that's what we see here and in the nation as a whole. It is blatant lies meant to mask commercial violence for profit. Hollywood argues freedom of speech, expression and license to create any kind of sewage that will $ell. Hollywood clearly broadcasts the opinion that violence in movies, TV, video games and any other platform commonly sold and used by the public doesn't have an effect upon social violence. This is patently false and illogical, yet gullible people who've been persuaded that Hollywood mayhem is good will support it. "Advertising is the greatest magic ever invented. It can convince you to buy things you don't need and pay for it with money you don't have." - Mark Twain Nobody and I do mean nobody will argue against the efficacy of advertising to sway the purchases of consumers. Our magazines and airwaves are full of it morning noon and night. If it wasn't a PROVEN method of affecting behavior it wouldn't be done. Hollywood violence is exactly the same, yet we are expected to believe that the bombardment of advertising will affect behavior and a bombardment of Hollywood violence won't. How stupid does a person have to be to believe this lie? In nations where depictions of violence are restricted, the level of violent crime is low. Do you not know O reader that the United States has the largest prison population in the world (over 2 million incarcerated)? This is greater than all totalitarian regimes combined! It's not guns and knives that kill people, it's HOLLYWOOD. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits. - Psalm 73:7 The BIBLE says violence and wickedness comes from the heart. As we all know, the TARGET for commercial messages, as well as imagined violence, is the heart. It is the heart that impresses a person to buy an item one does not need, the heart that inspires the purchase of theater tickets and it is the heart that causes one to commit violence. Take it to heart and learn, pilgrim. that's me, hollering from the choir loft... Edited October 19, 2019 by choir loft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I managed to get those images erased from my mind.. I can't recall what it was to this day... God is good. but it is really sad that children could have seen that..
