It is the only sport that gives TV time to prayer. But generally speaking, I watch little TV, mostly just news and America's Funniest Videos, and once and I while I'll watch something my wife is watching.Solomon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892367435257421279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-37851240491963263402008-02-06T00:05:00.000-06:002008-02-06T00:05:00.000-06:00No broadcast or cable TV at all in my home since 1...No broadcast or cable TV at all in my home since 1993. Philippians 4:8 was the verse that led me to this decision - too much badness on TV. So if it's not on DVD or the xbox, you get a blue screen at my house. We have cable internet, and may have 'free' cable too, but I've never hooked up the coax to a TV set to find out. All my single friends told me I'd never find a woman willing to live in a home without TV, but I've been married over 12 years so far...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-160960100552995652008-02-04T22:22:00.000-06:002008-02-04T22:22:00.000-06:00Like the Bible says, each must make up in his or h...Like the Bible says, each must make up in his or her own mind what is right and wrong. I would never say you are an immoral person because you disagree with me, especially on such a debatable issue. From my perspective, this was just something that would not leave me alone, so I had to make a decision.Solomon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892367435257421279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-6640762648043032332008-02-04T22:19:00.000-06:002008-02-04T22:19:00.000-06:00I really can't make that judgment for you.

That makes him the bad guy, not me. I don't have to sink to his level, and I personally don't need the additional drain on my time that cable is. Sure, I love The Daily Show, Discovery, History, etc. etc. channels, but in my view, I haven't paid for them, they are not mine to have. It is like a neighbor with a peach tree right over the property line, and no matter how much I love peaches, if the neighbor says I can't have any, it doesn't matter if he never eats a single peach and they all rot on the ground, they are not my peaches.Solomon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892367435257421279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474625377876976766.post-38092732879607783902008-02-04T22:03:00.000-06:002008-02-04T22:03:00.000-06:00how are you going to resolve this?

I must be a bad person, but if a cable guy did it and knew about it, and they can't do one without the other than.... well, like I said, I must be a less-than-moral person b/c I'd have no problem watching cable. ;)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045796050357009290noreply@blogger.com
