One "activity" which comes readily to my mind is gossiping on the internet whether here, FB or in e-mail. That is something I want to be careful of in my private life.
well yeah , but thats a woman issue .

Re: Shaw: ???'s to Help Christians Make Ent. Choic

I was thinking about this thread and went to his church website to see if he had the message on podcast, which he did. I thought he had a very balanced approach. If you don't have time to listen to both of them, I especially enjoyed Part 2. Very practical advise.

Re: Shaw: ???'s to Help Christians Make Ent. Choic

Entertainment does not have to be watered-down, Puritanical protectionism.

Brokenness and sin are part of all our stories. Hearing other stories, if they are to be considered real, will have some of this. Some films make these accessories and props the main subject -- even glorifying it above all else -- and others include these as part of a much more (and even sometimes redeeming) story.

I prefer the latter.

Individual conscience matters here as well.

You didn't listen to his message. He covers these things you mentioned very well, IMO.

Of course I didn't listen to the message. You just posted it 5 minutes ago!

Do you listen/watch/read everything posted on AFF?

Why don't you share some excerpts for us all.

BTW, I think I'm doing just fine without Shaw's Laws.
