Although I am not sure I agree completely, I heard one woman say that she is against abortion and would probably never have an abortion, but she didn't want the government tell her what to do with her family and her body, etc.
Could be this is the same argument. Many Christians DO have the ability to think for themselves, to filter out the bad and all that. Although I hate TV, I don't believe the majority of what is on there is of any value, but I can choose for my family and don't need the mandate of the church bylaws indicating me how to impose, regulate, or implement morality.
I believe folks CAN own a TV and CAN own a computer and still be consistent with the Word of God.
So what if your pastor told you no? And you say the majority of TV has no value, so I give you this question, why dig through a garbage can to get a T-Bone steak?
yeah, well... can't really do that. Hows T? and J?
T is good. Transferring schools next month to Lambuth University in Jackson. And J is still at home from his accident. Getting better, but not where he has to be to go back to work.

If I can simply push a button to get to the "T-Bone steak", why not?

That's my vote for post of the week tstew. I got a good laugh out of that.
Lacking sound scriptural doctrine in banning something like TV, radio or the internet why would I not have one? Scripture neither speaks for or against.
What scripture does teach is to be holy in all I do. That would apply to my tv, radio, internet, places I go, relationships, treatment and attitude toward my family and others, and any other aspect of my life.
Why would I not have a TV or any other technological devices if I don't partake of unholy things through those mediums?
I eat in Chili's and Applebee's restaurants all over the country and have my food and water or coke and don't smoke with the smokers or drink with the drinkers. Should I stop going into those restaurants because unholy behavior is available to me? I don't think so.
