Hello Kat,

              Good Post, I just tried to cut and paste a quote you made and it didn't work, I'll have to print out your instructions, have to crawl before walking and running.

                I appreciated your quote about interaction with people, more important than watching television. Balance always wins out in my book, with the balance shifting in favor of Spiritual things and Human relationships. Actually, I hardly ever watched T.V. series type shows until meeting my current wife, three and one half years ago. I prefer Drama Type movies and look for the Human Behavior element as you mention in your post. My wife enjoys the Series LOST, also, I liked it in the beginning, 1st season, then got bored with it. The Incredible Hulk Series with Bill Bixby may sound alittle on the childish side to some, but I enjoyed it because of the struggle inside the Loving and good natured David Banner when becoming Angry, sorta like the Jekyl and Hyde inside man( the war of the flesh & Spirit). I likened that struggle to myself.  Same as the Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker battle inside of him, with the good inside of him triumphening over the evil Dark Side.

                         Thanks for that Post, Samson(Brad)

I can't believe that people on this site would be concerned with what's on Satan's box. (Family Guy rules!!)  I mean I'm appalled to be reading of what such weak minded soles do for entertainment.  (Anybody see that South Park with Tom Cruise, about the scientologists?)  It's times like these that we should all come together and just decide that TV is only for those who want to have their minds saturated by the world's sickness. (How bout that Reverend Lovejoy in the Simpsons.  Love those hell fire sermons he did.  Mo the bartender is hilarious.)  When is this country going to get back to family values and turn from the sewage of television entertainment and media? (When are they going to do a Married With Children reunion show?)  We should be watching such family classics as Growing Pains (Kirk Cameron is a heretic and a clown), Full House (uuuuugggghh), and Different Strokes (Wish I was adopted by a millionaire.  What you talkin about?!!).

And how about those wicked movies with the cursing and violence?  (Rambo showed me that even a 60 year old can blow up lots of bad people.)  And who thinks that deceiving Borat is funny? (I thought the movie was hilarious.)  I ended up buying the Lord of the Rings triology so that me and youth groups can perform an exorcism to rid the movie of the devil. (I also bought the first three Die Hard movies and. . . . . . . . . Borat.)

As you can see, I am no longer tempted by Satan and his lies manifested in this world's living rooms and megamall theatres.  I would rather pick a flower, sing a song, or protest such raving evil movies as "Bad Santa" (Satan made me watch it about 8 times) or "Elf" (oooh, that one was just horrific.).

Wow, glad that's off my chest.  Think now I'll go and confess some of my sins. (Oh wait, I just did.  So never mind!!!)

Hello everyone,
                   
                     I thought that the Off Topic Discussion section was for fun, thats' what it says in the heading. We see jokes and a variety of humor, those last two posts reek of extreme legalism, no-one is suggesting anyone has to watch T.V. or to like it, Ricky, I guess I took your post personally, but since I experienced extreme legalism as a JW for twenty years, it won't happen to me again, for whatever its' worth, I consider myself to be a balanced person, in my past I can remember different ones criticizing other individuals recreational choices and making a Pharisaical big deal out of it, my apologies if this post offended you, now lets' criticize every joke and bit of humor we read at this Forum, I have yet to meet the perfect Christian on this planet, if you find him or her, let me know, now I'm glad I got that off my chest.      Samson.

Kat:
Hi Ricky,

I'm not sure what to make of your reply, were you joking  ???
I know musicman was a little over the top, but his was a joke, I think.

This is 'Off Topic' for fellowship away from the main topic of Ray's articles, but not in opposition to what he teaches.  He has mentioned some movies he has watched in some of his Bible studies I believe.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
