So the other day my youth pastor said that if you find dirty tv and movies entertaining then you are spiritually immature, and it got me thinking a lot about all the shows and movies I watch. Most of the time I don’t think much about what I’m watching because honestly I don’t really feel that it is bad for me to watch innapropriate TV shows or movies, however I do feel it is bad to watch porn. I don’t really think about how one person just slipped the f bomb on the movie or how some of hte people swear a lot on the tv, because it really doesn’t seem like a big deal. But after hearing this I started thinking, what if it is a big deal? What if these thigns which I hear and see everyday have an impact on me and how I act? It started affecting the way I was watching tv and I started noticing how often these things were happening. It was tough to go through a single half-hour sitcom without sexual refrence or innapropriate language. So, is that what we have come to? Getting simple entertainment from these things which have become so useless to us, are we that naive? After really thinking about it I started watching less shows and movies because it was so hard to stay away from this stuff. I didn’t want to subject myself to these shows. However once I stopped watching a majority of the shows I watched I noticed I had a large chunk of time available to me that I didn’t have before. So, I went back to the shows. I gave in. It was so hard not to watch tv or movies. In the end I guess it’s still not that big of a deal but now I’m more concious of what is going on and if a tv show or movie is too obscene I will now turn it off. So, that’s how I feel. It’s okay to watch as long as it’s not too bad, in which case I will not watch it.
