And the end in view is the destruction of Western Civilization (and Christianity since Western Civilization is a by product of Christianity).

So much of it is now "in your face" blatant pro-gay, anti-Christian, anti-family propaganda. The methods to promote an agenda used to be suggestive and subtle, but no longer. People are starting to notice and they are turning off the TV.<br /><br />As most kids waste time on social media and on video games, there is no time left to sit in front of a TV screen to watch movies and tv shows. Movie studio executives have lost the 18-34 year old demographic. Oops.<br /><br />Movies and cable TV are also becoming too expensive. This is causing people to become more selective about what they watch: <br /><br />https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/04/worst-quarter-for-paid-tv-subscriptions-points-to-a-cord-cutting-future/<br /><br />When "cord cutting" people have to pay à la carte to stream each channel and program, they are more selective about what they watch.<br /><br />As an afterthought, the dissolution of Worldview Everlasting saddens me. Fisk brought a lot of Lutheran converts from Evangelicalism through his YouTube channel. If not through slick video podcasts, how else can Evangelicals discover the LCMS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-33020173055330706572018-04-04T11:10:31.004-05:002018-04-04T11:10:31.004-05:00Hollywood Film Producers in recent decades have pu...Hollywood Film Producers in recent decades have pushed the limits<br />of decency in order to see what they can get away with.

That is why today there are few movies or TV shows any serious Christian should view. Of course, we are not prudish or inhibited sexually, but we prefer some taste and wholesomeness in entertainment. Good acting has been placed behind gratuitous violence and sexuality. Consider also that the morals of Hollywood, and the widespread use of drugs, along with the advancement of homosexuality....combined together in a pool of sewage. We should view Hollywood as Sodom and Gomorrah. We should remember that Lot moved his family into these wicked cities, while Abraham kept away. We need to imitate Abraham, not Lot.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.com
