The Television

It is written in the Bible that near The End of Days the people will become increasingly crude, profane, lawless and immoral. One only has to look at what passes for news and entertainment on your television to see how debased this nation has become. Television is much worse now than it was when this was written nearly seven years ago.
The Television
Many of the posts you will read come from a point of view of someone who remembers how things were decades ago. ...
At one time television offered a few channels with very basic fare. Television consisted of news programs that offered just the news, with no overtly biased and slanted input as well as variety shows, dramas, comedies, cartoons and children's shows. Let's not forget that the television offered no programs after 1am. The stations invariably ended the day with a stirring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
In this 21th century we have hundreds of channels running 24 hours a day. Filthy talking,gross sexual content, and the portrayal of every kind of decadent and immoral lifestyle is no longer confined to the "cable" stations but is the norm on the three major networks as well. News shows are blatantly biased and slanted,usually to the liberal side. The so-called conservative stations are doing the same by injecting their biases.
Philosopher William Gayley Simpson had this to say about the television and it gets to the heart of what is wrong with television: "People who know what it is to have a life of their own,as do all real persons,all real individuals,all really healthy people,have far too much that they want to be up and doing,to waste time watching other people do something."
Do not allow the television to corrupt you and the others in your family, especially younger children and teenagers.
