I've been pondering this because I have gone with my mother in law a couple of times to bingo. I really dont see anything bad about it but then again I guess it can be considered a form of gambling....what do you think?

KatAutumn said:LOL I remember a local news program showed this woman a few years back who won several thousands of dollars on a scratch-off lottery ticket. She was on TV with her family and the pastor from her church. When they asked her what she was going to do with the money she said she was going to give 20% of it to her church and the pastor started shouting, "Hallelujah praise the Lord!" I guess playing the lottery isn't a sin, so long as a portion of the winnings go toward a noble cause. *shrugs*
Me, personally, I see no problem with gambling in moderation. If it becomes a compulsion then gambling isn't the problem, it's the gambler. You can become addicted to everything from surfing the internet to eating. Only the person engaging in such acts can be responsible for how they use their time, efforts and money.

"Thou shalt not engage thyself in the pursuit of BINGO; it is of the Enemy"

Abbadon said:No, the that's the twelfth commandment, the eleventh was "All true Star Wars fans must watch Clerks. And enjoy it."
It's no different than anything else. Eating can be sinful. Drinking can be sinful and yes Bingo can be sinful. Walking down the street can be sinful depending on what you ar check out as you walk.iloveadam said:I've been pondering this because I have gone with my mother in law a couple of times to bingo.
