Looks to me like some people see what they want in the scripture and apply
how they see fit. TV is form a communication and you tune in to gargbage
or good information.

So you would never save lives, be the Good guy. See lives with happy
ending endings. You would never read a book to learn more, you would
consider or appreciate or Critize a work of art?

Gateway is great place to learn how be a pharisee. You can also learn a
lot about the Bible or dicover that educated allededly Holy Ghost filled
people can be as sinful as anybody.


BTW I don't have a TV because of Time it can suck away and it can be very
negative influence in that regard. But when holidays come I borrow one. It
helps pass the time. It gives information and does does a good job of
chasing lonliness away. Books are better. they are all communcations
tools.

I certainly respect your right to your opinions and I aggres that there is
a lot of garbage on the tube these days.
