Akira329:
Man, I have to agree with Kat and Musicman on this.
I love a lot of shows that I know I would be condemned in hell for by the "church"
But I learn far too much about human behaviors and peoples characters through TV
TV is still a tool or device that God uses right? Whether its to show who we really are or who and what we should be
or be doing. Honestly looking back on my life if I never watched TBN I wouldn't have found this site!!
Knowing what I know from this site its hard for me to image that anything that exist now is completely
useless in Gods plan of salvation. I never thought I would say that about tv!LOL
Also I don't see why this would be a forbidden topic considering its in off-topic discussions
God be with you all

Hello Ricky,
I guess I don't have much of a sense of humor at times and tend to take things too seriously at times, I consider the teachings at this Site very seriously and I'm rather new myself. In the past, some of us(me included) have probably watched movies that we are ashamed of, I didn't expect anyone to mention the most horrific shows they've ever watched, but certainly expected candor in what different ones would reveal as to what might be entertaining, I remember someone in my former religion mentioning T.V. being the "Devils Eyeball", yet all of them watched some T.V. and would justify their choices, yet anyone could have been righteous overmuch and found something wrong with their selection. Just like everything that man invents, it can be used for good and have beauty or be used for Evil. We see that all the time, just consider the internet, much wickedness has emanated from its' misuse, yet I enjoy its' research aspect, what beauty it can be in that respect, hence discovering Rays' Site. Someone mentioned preferring to watch the News, that can have an evil aspect to it, the media is capable of being the biggest fabricators of lies, half-truths and distortions, no one knows what to believe when listening to the news.
I'm sorry if I seemed to have snapped at you and even Musicman, I guess it just hit a nerve. Just wanted to have some fun in this stress ridden world. You need not worry about me taking this Site with seriousness, just ask my wife, she accuses me of bing too serious all the time.
Your Brother in Christ, Samson.
P.S. NO hard feelings, I'm glad Spring is almost here, I dislike Winter.

--- Quote ---Well said, I always had only hoped posts like this TV one would not be allowed on BT. To me it is outside the rules of the form, what does it have to do with anything that we have learned from Ray. There are many other posts that should not be here as well, but they are. Its almost like somebody is saying, ok people lets give Ray a rest and talk about something else now.

Off topic is for anything outside of what Ray teaches or other religious discussion. It is a for fun area for members to discuss other things (watercooler talk) the only thing I don't let get started too far is political discussion and debate. (As some have found out before ;))

I know musicman was a little over the top, but his was a joke, I think.

;D
Knowing our Brother Musicman just a bit I can vouch that it was indeed satire, very well done IMHO as well!
Yes Kat I agree that Ray has brought up references to a movie or two during a bible study or Conference. I have been around Ray during some down time, fellowshipping (before or after his presentations and during meals) and he too enjoys a laugh and has mentioned some of his favorite movies in conversations.
To be honest the last time I saw Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider the spiritual implications gave me goose bumps.
Peace,
Joe
Samson:
Thankyou Craig,
Thanks for the clarification you provided and thankyou for your Post Ricky and I agree that as individuals we need to show self-scrutiny as to what we watch and guard our hearts, always praying for Gods' guidance in all our recreation, no doubt, their is certainly alot of garbage presented for our viewing, we need to be cautious as serpents and innocent as doves. The World(Kosmos) wants to bring us down to their level, occupying our minds with Spiritual Truths as presented here, certainly helps in that effort.
Your Brother in Christ, Samson(Brad)
