childrens shows have been going down hlll for a long time

my kids did not watch smerfs

they were the little blue guys remember

they called up belesbiaube (spelling) the devil if you doubt that rent one put on close caption and listen

that was 30 years ago

or the show masters of the universe

that is also an old show

I did not let my kids watch these stuff nor will I let my grandkids watch alot of stuff on now

the TV has played a big part in lives today wether we admit it or not

even commercials are sensual and some of them are just mini porn

on tv this am was a commercial of a woman slowly undressing down to bra and panites and what was she selling??

shampoo !!!! what does undresssing down to underware have to do with shampoo!!!?????????

what we watch does affect us

what we listen to does affect us

what we read does affect us

I am not saying sell the tv or stop going to moives or stop reading books

what I am saying is should we not be more selective !!! ??

As Christians should we not be more aware of what is out there and how it will affect us???

In Christ

ps remember the paris hilton hamburger comercial they admitted it was geared to guys 14 to 35 years of age and KNEW it would offend women

Shalom Irene,

My kids did not watch Smurfs either.

However, you keep saying what you believe is right for YOU and your household

That's great!!

The rub comes in when you want to apply your standards to everyone else.

In the area of personal convictions, we must seek the L-rd and know what is acceptable for us. What is fine for me, may not be for someone else.

There are lots of good shows on TV. Our family enjoys movies and some family shows. Maybe your family wouldn't like what we watch, but you know, if you ever came to our home, we would be considerate of your convictions and not put anything on that would offend you or make you stumble.

That's where we each should be. Not telling others what's right for them. This is an area of subjectivity on what shows are OK or not.

VICKILYNN!!!!!!!!!!!! I MISSED YOU!!!!!

By the way, I was offline too, for about 2 months!

Shalom Emily~Anne,

Heya Sis!! Hugs and hugs!!! I added you too. Welcome back!

I never told any one not to watch

What I said was that we should be more selective

if that is wrong I apologize for the comment

If christians feel it is ok to watch drag queens homosexuality adultry ect I am not their judge

but can I not at least warn some one to be careful

can I not at least say "be cautious" ??

if not then I do apologize

It is Christian to admonish our brothers and sisters, that is part of loving them.

Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

2th 3:15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Love does not shut the mouth when there is danger, but cries aloud and warns all who will listen. This is what got Jesus into so much trouble when He was here.

SCARLET PRAYERS

Years ago, I would have said no, but I've noticed that He has changed me, and I just can't watch or read certain things anymore. So yes, I think it does matter.

I know you posted this response long ago but it really hit home with me.

All I can say is....Me Too! It isn't that I think that perhaps I shouldn't watch it but, as you said, I can't anymore. I just can't sit through some of the movies or television shows I used to watch. Then I would simply overlook the rawness of some of what I saw but now....I can't watch it.

Yes, it does matter!
