I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of our cable tv

[Aaron]

Bologna [sic]. You are giving your money in exchange for programming.

That's what I said. Whomever is your TV company, they must subscribe to the networks and programming they provide—good and bad, and you're supporting the bad as well as the good.

What they do with the money after it leaves your hand is between them and God. I get so tired of this mindframe "if you shop at.....you are paying for abortions", or "if you go to Disney, you are supporting homosexuality".

Paying for TV (and Disney) ain't like buying food or natural gas or heating oil. It's a completely non-essential use of God-given resources for the purchase of pleasure, and pleasure alone (CNN and FOX notwithstanding). My question for you at this point would be, are a lover of pleasure more than a lover of God?

I get so tired of this . . .

What you're weary of is the cost of discipleship, not the efforts of those who educate others on the agendas and campaigns promoted and financed by their voluntary patronization of pay TV (or any other enterprise for that matter.)

But, who cares what you think? It's the facts that matter, and here's the cold, hard fact. Whether or not you watch it, if you're paying for TV, you're still financing the programming you deem destructive and anti-Christian.

Now, how about letting those who are evaluating it consider that fact without your cavils?

Amen! :thumbsup:

And Aaron, before you ad "sic" to a correctly spelled word, better check a dictionary. Bologna is correct.

Yeah, for lunch meat. But for an expression of disagreement, it's baloney.

"We ar out in the sticks,,100 acre estate, 1/4 mile off the roadway, through 18 acres of woods, 3 acres of woods behind us. If we want to see neighbours,,must climb on roof of house. Far enough out in sticks?"

Yes. And that spells...M..I..S..E..R..Y...to me! :laugh:

I'm a city boy through and through. Born and raised. I want houses so close you can chat with your neighbors from your front porch, I want people walking up and down the sidewalk all day long, I want to be so close to all stores that if your car breaks down you can walk and get whatever you need.

THAT, my friend...is LIVING! :wavey:

Ever wonder why God refers to the New Jerusalem as a CITY?

God knows what LIVING is! :1_grouphug:
