Television

[irishcowboy]

If you have not already noticed (haha) Television programming has gone to the dirt, even lower then dirt.

one evening, going to watch the news on one station (9:00pm news) before retiring for the evening, turning the Tele on, there were, well not nice shots of ladies prancing around in their skivies (ladies being a loose term being a true lady would keep that to her husband view only). A victoria secrets fashion show.

this was on national syndicated television.

I contacted the local station to explain that they were not under any obligation to have to show something that is not moral, that is distasteful. this station has yet to reply to the query.

I have enquired about other programs at different times with the stations. Their response usually is that they are syndicated and that they are required to aire the programs that come from the major networks that they are afilliated with, unless......UNLESS...... they are immoral, or totally distasteful.

The Book of Daniel is a slam to not just Christians, but also to Christ Himself. Acceptance of abominations.

We are to accept the person, to love the person but to hate the sin.

As "Watchmen" (or watchwomen), as "Christians" we have an obligation, A DUTY, to pass on the Word of God.

Just Cause Christ came and saved us from our sins, and freed us from the penalties of death for the sins we commit, we are not given a license to continue living in sin or condoning sin or assisting those living in sin or ignoring sin, or even accepting sin as a way of life.......

Christ did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.

As a new creature (a new creation) in Christ, we are to turn from our old ways, repent, and live the life of the new creation, remaining not just inocent, but "BLAMELESS".

some say we are not to judge others, that does not mean we are to "OK" or condone a persons actions. Most of those that say "Christians are not suppose to judge people" are usually trying to justify their own way of life. We are all suppose to live an upright life, sinless since we have been washed clean, a living witness for what Christ has done for us.

I am not saying those in Christ are perfect, but should be striving for perfection daily......no.... every minute....

We do not have to allow the Broadcast stations to broadcast this trash over the air for the rest of the world to see. We can contact them and let them know we are displeased with their programming.

take the TV guide and go down the list, and let them know which programs you do not approve of and why....

Yeah, I can hear you now.... I dont have time to do that.... or it wont do any good......

no time to take care of our future generations? no time to help protect our children and grandchildren? or neighbors children? .....

It sure wont do any good to just talk about it, with out any action......

Faith is good.... works are good..... but one with out the other is very lonely.....

IF..... thats right..... IF ...... enough people contact their local stations, they can get them to drop programs such as the book of daniel, malcom, king of the hill, family guy, wren and stimpy, and other shows that are tearing families down, that are tearing Christ down.

most people here spend enough time on the internet that it would not even take away more then a few moments of their time to drop an email to the stations about their programming.

I dropped a quick email to a company over one of their ads that is being played, and i did get a response from them that they will be looking over their advertsing policies and will be making changes. I will be dropping more to other companies about their ads, and also asking some to ensure they are not advertising during certain programs....

oh yeah, since i contacted that company, after a short time i stopped seeing that peticular ad on their comercials. so it does do good.

Mike, it will not change unless Christians get off of their rears and take ACTION. Turn OFF the shows, refuse to purchase the products advertised or patronize the establishments advertised, and write the product/establishment and tell them why. Like you said, it takes all of a few minutes to google a place, and find the contact information and email link. It is a darn shame the power that could be utilized if complacency were outlawed, but instead that power is being wasted.

I remember back in the 60s when everybody was burning Beatles records for his Bigger than Jesus remark. This did force an apology out of John although it was weak. But it seems to me that the best way to get our message to the networks would be to stage a TV smashing demonstration. This would send a powerful message to the networks and also insure that primetime garbage would not be coming into our homes. No TV, no problem.

start dropping off T.V.'s to the local stations, letting them know that they willl not be watched anymore... stop purchasing new sets.... hmmmm just thinking what the front of a TV stations building would look like if there was a mountain of sets piled up there..... hehehehehehe

There are enough of Christians in the world, that if they just didn't watch the sit-coms, and other stuff that is anti-christian, then the programmers would sit up and take note.

Sad thing is Christians watch that stuff, they also watch PG-13 and R rated movies, and justify it as OK.

God says "Come out of her, my people."

Just don't watch commercial TV. Nobody is twisting anybody's arm; the airwaves are free for all to use. Most TV shows are not written or produced by Christians so it is foolish to think they would reflect our values. As for me, TCM is on at my house most of the time.

Sending letters is a good idea too. I had a friend who worked for a TV station once tell me that for every one letter a station recieves they assume there are roughly 600 people with similar opinions who don't write.
