One could say that radio, internet, magazines, newspapers and such are sin too, because of the filth that one can find in them!

Just like the other mentioned media, I believe one can use a Godly conscience to determine what is and what isn't healthy spiritually to watch.
I heard one minister's wife say that they cancelled their newspaper subsciption because they felt the newspaper was a sin by showing advertisements of bras. Newspaper...a sin???

Pianoman..I agree with you 100%. God has given us a conscience and we can choose to view what is evil or refrain from it on TV. We can view evil on the internet or refrain from it. We can view inapprorpiate magazines and readings or refrain from it.

This is how I see it too.

Exactly!

And the closer you are to God the more in tune your conscience is!!!!

I'm thinking Jim was setting there going.....oh my lord.....we are on TV - how am I going to explain this!

Letterman talked to her a long time - - - and said twice how nice she looked.......I bet he could tell something was different about her.

I have known Heather since she was a kid. She has always been very strikingly beautiful.

I really don't think an explaination is necessary, IMO.

She has only lived in 3 places. Chicago is a town she has NEVER lived in.

I don't see anything wrong with a UPCer or any other OA person being part of a Letterman audience. I wouldn't be interested myself. I don't think I've ever watched even one whole Letterman program.

I think some see it as a double standard. That you sign an oath saying you'll have nothing to do with TV and then participate in a TV program audience. I'm not saying that, but it's how some see it (just as an explanation for those who wonder why someone would have a problem with it).
