I think it has a lot to do with how you use things.  They can be a blessing or a curse.  A ministry or a stumbling block.

i totally agree! most will preach against tv but live on the internet, which is far worse than tv ever was lol

but i am like you, anything can be used for good or bad.

I think it's easier to control the internet than the TV.

i agree. only prob is, most that had the prob with tv, cant control it on the net. i watched so many ppl in the upc churches come to my house and bring their movies to watch on my tv, cause i was a sinner and could own one. kinda messed up i think. or they would go to the hospital for something and watch tv non stop.

i am not against either one, tv or net. i am against preaching against one and not the other. and faking you are abiding by it.

Well it seems we're really going to have this discussion, so...

Personally I don't like TVs.  I won't preach against them from the pulpit, but to me a TV is very different from the internet.  The internet is a "pull" medium, you go out and get what you want.  The TV is a "push" medium, you sit passively and watch whatever is being broadcast.

But more than that, to me a TV just feels insidious somehow.  When it's off people in a room talk.  When it's on everyone just sits and stares, and if you try to talk about something it's a real battle to keep their attention.

I'm not saying it's a sin, but I do think it's one of the weights the guy in the Bible spoke of.  I don't think anyone will go to hell for owning a TV but I do believe everyone who has a TV would be better off without one.

i agree 100%. i have a tv but no cable for it. i can pick up 2 local stations, and very occasionally watch the news but its very rare.

i do have shows i like, so i download them and watch them. no commercials that way, and i control what i see.

but its getting to where the internet is a push anymore, with all the ads and spam. you almost cant control what you see anymore. and now you have families that live on the net, sitting in their rooms alone, talking to each other on fb, yahoo, etc

there are wonderful ways to use the internet for ministry and know some ppl that do it successfully

i dont have a prob if anyone wants one or the other in their home. just dont use it somewhere else, then preach against it. be honest about it is my point.

i see good and bad for internet. really dont see much use for tv lol

What you said about families sitting online, talking to each other online when they're in the same room, reminds me of a recent cartoon run.  Two guys greet each other in a restaurant, sit down and play with their smartphones the whole time.  Once one of them asks another (via smartphone) "Hey, you wanna meet for lunch?"  The other says, "Dude, you're sitting right across the table from me."  "Sorry, spaced on your coordinates for a minute."

And with some it's so true it's not even funny.

yeah. when my sister was here with her girls, the girls were on the phones on fb and yahoo, talking to their mom while she was on my desktop, all three sitting in a 10x12 room. then they send me a text on my phone telling me to get online and talk to them  ???

They couldn't just look up and say verbally, "Hey you need to get online and talk to us"?  ???

We really need a head scratching smiley...
