Has anyone ever been convicted to not watch certain tv shows and movies.

Oh My Goodness... @makeupgirl

When I saw the previews for this movie it reminded me of 'The Fighting Temptations'. Isn't that the movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. who lead the choir?

Yep... I mean the movie was good but it was all about the competition, nothing about God was included at all.

The problem I have is that I've yet to have viewed a Black Christian movie that was on point with who we are as true Christians. We don't have enough good Black representation.

To honest none of the races have it.

I remember the show 'Dr. Quinn' Medicine Woman".

It was a descent family show, however the pastor who was presented was weak and always in need of some kind of help. But of course the star of the show, Dr. Quinn was the stronger character of everyone, even when she was weak.

It all goes back to the song that Prudent1 shared with us in her post above, that what we see in the media is not what's true in real life.

I'll take it one more step further. Even in today's talk shows, the Pastors are presented as either weak or hypocritical or mean spirited.

And I never have/never will care about American Idol ~ the snarkyness, the scandals, struggles that the contestants have had once their time in the spotlight was over ~ with the exception of Carrie Underwood - all bad

I thought this deserved a bump… especially in light of the Pastors of LA show. Sis Shimmie are you a prophetess?

I'ts only been a year or so since this thread and things have only grown worse. It's almost nothing worth watching on TV now. I do enjoy Hostages and The Good Wife - although they are both far from Christ representing.

Good Morning momi

I haven't seen the last two episodes of 'LA' ... It's more interesting to read everyone's comments here in CF and ET.

I'm very guarded with 'titles' however, God uses me (as He does each of us) with His gifts and I just flow with Him.

I will say that I am a "Mom"... and Mom's know Errr' thing. As a Mom we can spot wolf from a coyote and a snake under a rock long before he crawls out from under.

By nature, as Moms we can tell what up ahead and grab a hold of it in prayer to take the wind out if, before it has a chance take flight.

And your name speaks quite well for its self... "Momi"

I like English literature. When I looked at the Tudor's it was too much, lust, adultery, murder and just bloody. It was just too graphic and I quit looking at it.

Have you guys listened to a song and then became turned off by what was being expressed or exposed in the music video? For example, when Marsha Ambrose's song far away first came out, I actually liked it until I saw the video of two men in a relationship. I knew then that the song was about homosexuality so I stop liking and listening to the song.

I know this thread seems to be about movies and tv shows but I have been wondering about what's really behind certain songs. I don't listen to a lot of secular music but I still listen to some.

 

[blazingthru]

i watch The Good Wife because I enjoy the legal issues, however, I really hate everything else and feel its becoming to much for me. I watch Elementary and I use to watch Scandal but I am so over that. there is very little I watch on TV. I am more convicted about giving up TV all together everyday.

Yes, music has its own ministry. It really has the power to take you back to those old days, or steer you down the path of old decisions, thoughts and views and even make you angry. I avoid secular music when I can, sometimes I find myself drifting though.

I'm feeling the same way about television. I feel convicted about most of the tv shows I watch (I just recently gave them up) Real Housewives of Atlanta, Hip Hop Wives, and don't let me get started on Scandal that was really hard to give up , but I chose to be obedient. Lol. I realized Scandal was all wrong when I noticed. I began to side with Olivia and secretly hoping that the. President would leave his wife for her. It may seem petty but this show is portraying Adultery to be okay, I decided to give it up completely.

I have been convicted about TV shows in the past also. I had to stop Criminal Minds because it just felt so demonic. There was also a time I had to stop watching SVU as some of the things I watched started to seep into my dreams.
I also don't watch a lot of reality tv shows (and also most sitcoms) not because I think they are demonic, but because they promote certain lifestyles that are not godly and also encourage certain mindsets that are not of God.

However just this evening I got convicted about watching a reality show called "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here" which is a tv show about has-beans who are in the jungle for 3 weeks having to survive and having to complete disgusting trials (such as spending 10 minutes in a bus full of roaches, rats and other nasties). Anyway, I've been following it this past 2 weeks, and today the trial was for 8 of the camp mates to get locked into a cubicle and try and unlock the cubicle's 5 locks within 5 minutes by guiding the keys for the locks through an imprinted labyrinth that was on the door of the cubicle (I'm really trying to keep this short).
As they were trying to do this, each cubicle had a person on its top who, at every minute, throw a cup of something nasty into the cubicle, in this case roaches, crickets, green ants and more. As I was sitting there watching it, I suddenly felt the Holy Spirit say to me, "Do you realise that these are all devourers? These people are inviting devourers into their lives."
This was my cue to stop watching the show completely.

I think some people are more sensitive than others, but I also think that, as a whole, we have been so heavily desensitised over the years.

so agree with this. My children can watch some things that make me squeeze my eyes shut, and I have to tell them to go, get out, turn that mess off and of course, they get mad and my son said Mom you make a person want to leave, Ah Duh, you thirty you should be out there.

 

[mensa]

Yes. And because of it, I rarely watch tv anymore.
