I used to be amazed when I would hear stories about preachers who had a hard time making it to conference services because they couldn't pry themselves away from the television!
One of these pastor's sons was telling me about his dad ..... he loved westerns and when he got to a motel the first thing he did was turn the tv on and look for the movie channel.
It's quite the novelty for some who never have had one in the home. When you grow up with it it doesn't have that kind of fascination for you I guess.
I can't remember ever ever missing any kind of church event or service, whether my own home church or other district events or conferences, campmeeting, etc.
That includes Wed. nite Bible studies and prayer meetings, outreach, etc. Television never ruled our life or our home.
