You are right and a God driven concious will reel you back when you go too far. But there are things that are easy to tell "that and this are bad for me." I don't mind if someone has 'higher' convictions than I do and I am cool with that. However, I can not sit by and let someone say that TV and certain things are wrong when clearly ANYTHING can be wrong when it comes between God and I.

TV can be bad for you too and can become an addiction also.

Depends what's on.

In my opinion, it sure seems like the Networks are going out of their way to keep folks from being "addicted" to the television with the programming they offer. Even the History Channel has degenerated into a Ghost and UFO network.

Speaking of which, we have a new Ghost Hunters on our DVR..... Oh yes, and a new Monster Quest.

Some people let TV become a God to them - thus I believe God could convict you to not have a TV. To others - jewelry could be their obsession - to others - makeup - if you cannot walk out of the door without being sure you have your makeup up on then maybe you need to pray about that - that is jut my opinion on convictions
