I personally have been a member for 6-9 months. We have had many victories. Many sponsors have pulled their sponsorships from questionable television programming. Thanks you and God bless.

I am going to devote my energies to raising my child in the faith, giving him a strong role model, and explaining to him the ways of Christ and the ways of the world. The world without Christ will remain the same. I say change the people not the tv shows. Oh, and the remote is a good thing to learn to use...the off button in particular (Please note, I do not say this in a sacarstic tone). I want to unplug my child and show him God's beautiful natural world.

However, I respect what you are doing and it is admirable...just not for me. I feel that these sort of attacks on meida people or publishers often leads to book burning. But of course that is just my humble opinion. Do you think these activities show the fruits of Christ, such as love? Or are they more just people angry with the world?

Just as Christ changes us from the inside out, so the world can be changed also. From within the Church and bearing fruit, being salt and drawing others to the Body.

As long as you are at it could you try and get rid of Sesame Street? I question the relationship of Bert and Ernie....you know what I'm saying? Just Kidding.

I do think your actions, of boycotting certain supporters makes sense. These companies are making money off you and giving money too things not in line with Gods teachings, which means you are giving things not in line with God's teachings.

God bless you Totally, Totally Transformed

Good look with your campaign against the media giants...David did it with a single stone, so can you if your actions fall under God's good grace.

As am I with my two children. You assume that I watch a lot of television. There have been periods during my life that I watched absolutely no television for years.

Yes, I do think they show the fruits of Christ's love. Do you think Christ would stay silent if He saw what was on TV these days?

Do you not think this is being salt? Salt purifies and makes the unsaved thirst for Him.

Why the sarcasm? I love that show and have for years. Do you think Queer Eye For the Straight Guy in any way compares with Sesame Street?

What kind of things? Soap? Food products? They are not in line with God's teachings. Have you ever seen the commercial where a woman moans like she is having an [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]? That is a hair care product. Should I stand silent as a representative of Christ and not voice my concern over this? Would Jesus? He did afterall overturn the money changers tables calling them hypocrites for trying to make "My house of prayer into a den of thieves."

And God bless you too. Forgive me, but although you say you're kidding about some of your statements they sure sound to me like you're judging me.

They do fall under God's grace which does not mean you stay silent when something is wrong.

TT -

Im slightly amused that you took offense to my reply, as I was not criticizing your actions only saying they werent for me and why. For example, I never said you watched a lot of TV, I only made the comment because your original post said:

If you're concerned about what your children are seeing on TV then click on one of those links and find out what you can do.

I only recommended clicking the off button instead, it wasnt an assassination at your character.

Do I think Christ would stay silent? He would handle the situation by talking with sinners not by trying to change the evil ways of the world. His focus is on the person, not some TV show. But if you disagree and think he would start a boycott, I wont argue with you because who knows? I have no problem with that, I just dont agree.

Comment on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. So what, what does this show have to do with me as a Christian Father? I dont watch it and I dont let my children watch it. If you feel called to stop every sin out their, go for it, good luck trying to change the ways of the world. I feel called to talk to people about Christ, to change people. To bring people to Christ, not point out the sins of the world.

My comments about the soap. What I was saying was that I CAN UNDERSTAND why you would boycott them if they are promoting sin through television via having commercials during sinful shows. Because if you bought those products, you would be indirectly promoting things not of God.

I really think you took my comments to sensitively, but never the less I must apologize to you as a brother in Christ. All members have their jobs and you are doing something you believe to be right. I commend you for your stand. However, to your solicitation to join the movement I must humbly say no thank you. I will devote my energies to talking to people about Jesus, living a wholesome Christian life in full view of a sinful world, and raising my son in the faith.
