how do you cope with them?
Need some biblical advice.
I mean its not as if everyone has to read more books im probably an exception being a trained librarian but..it just annoys me that so many people are addcited to tv and not even aware of how detrimental it is.
I was talking with a christian friend, wed gone on a retreat and she actually bought a book on devotions the same copy as me, so i thought to ask her have you been doing the devotions? Its only a page a day.
She goes no i havent. I ask her well what are you doing. She goes blithely, im just watching tv.
?! At that point if she was not on the phone i could have thrown something at her.
I mean what do you say to encourage people to turn off the tv and spend serious time with God?! Devotions are only one page! Its not like you have to read an entire book in a day and usually only one verse even!
Nowadays TV is almost like poison, you just can't watch too much of it.
Some programmes are straight out harmful, while some pretend to be educational. Even the latter are not
as beneficial as reading books. Besides the above, watching TV can reduce your attention span;
if you don't have attention span, you stop learning, your mind just behaves like a monkey.
Frankly, I don't watch TV, my TV doesn't work anymore -- it's analog.
I only watch DVDs, in this way, I can have full control of what I watch, without any ads.
Even with DVDs, I don't watch much of them. Books are best.
