When I moved out of my parents' home after my mission, I chose to forgo having a television. I had noticed changes in standards between going into the mission field and my return and it disturbed me. At college again, I didn't miss the distraction. Since my views of the programming on the networks was only intermittent, at the homes or apartments of friends, I noticed more changes over the years that confirmed my decision. Today there is so much garbage on the TV that I would never allow one to be in my home. It is an insidious purveyor of filth and political subversion that has the potential to destroy the innocence of any child and to mislead and destroy the righteousness of any adult.

Not every one finds the same things to be objectionable - some are offended at the sight of someone smoking, yet the first Saturday's warrior film had a character who was seen with a cigarette. The Bible is full of violence (against both genders), sex, incest, cannibalism, etc. Should we ban the Bible? I suggest you read Fahrenheit 451.

This message - warning - cannot be "overstated"!
That being said.. Were your feet shackled as you were seated?
Of course not!, you actually WALKED OUT, right?
