If your conscience bothers you, then you probably shouldn't watch it. Going against your conscience is a fearful thing.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin. (Romans 14:23 - see chapter for context)

This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wickedness." (Proverbs 30:20)

Here's an article about the conscience that looks like a good one - in case you are a reader..... http://www.futurelife.org/Supportive%20Talks_dir/Godly%20Knowledge_dir/Hold%20onto%20your%20Conscience%20in%20a%20Sinful%20World.htm (sorry, I don't know how to make links without showing the URL)

Since its contrived, I see no reason why you can't watch it. Why would you want to watch it though?

I have heard that some Catholic Bishops have been speaking out against boxing because of the violence but thats a little different.

What would I know though? My wife makes me watch all those design and home improvement shows.

Quite a lot of Christians are against boxing. A guy in my church was chosen to box in the Commonwealth Games a while back and he turned it down because to be any good at boxing you need to become almost like an animal and he found that did not sit alongside his faith. This wasn't even recent but about 40 years ago.

That's true.

I personally don't care much for really violent sports like boxing and ultimate fighting as I'm more of a nature lover and spend my free time on mountain bikes and in hiking boots.

If your conscience tells you that watching the WWE is wrong then you should obey your conscience. Watching wrestling (as in actual matches) in and of itself is not wrong. That being said the WWE has sunken into moral depravity IMO, and after what happened on Monday night RAW I refuse to watch that trash.

Anyway, for sheer wrestling inside the ring you should watch TNA Wrestling instead :thumbsup: Talk about exciting entertainment!!!

Kimber and Stumpjumper,

Three words: "Live Sex Celebration". I am not kidding :sigh: If you are wondering what I am talking about then go to Pro Wrestling (3) thread.

Sounds like a perfectly valid reason not to watch WWE then!!

14The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.


PS 101
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
