I appreciate your sharing of this information. People can go to Citizenlink, affiliated with Focus on the Family, for more.Momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794683299776977697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132398834656674229.post-57072629476203878152008-07-29T11:17:00.000-07:002008-07-29T11:17:00.000-07:00I appreciate the good feedback.

I found this article for my blog on the Focus on the Family website. It is <BR/><BR/>www.family.org/entertainment/A000002512.cfm<BR/><BR/>There are several other articles listed there as well. I went through Robin's blog (actionsspeakloudest)(see under her comment on this page) to Revive Our Hearts website. They have a challege about eliminating watching TV for a month. I kept following that site until I found the Focus on the Family article.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766308140618773334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132398834656674229.post-25206539498916044622008-07-29T06:33:00.000-07:002008-07-29T06:33:00.000-07:00Movies and TV can be frightening because they have...Movies and TV can be frightening because they have so much power over those who watch it...<BR/><BR/>I found these a while back - not sure if you've seen them...but both are powerful. The brownie "experiment" would be great to try on teens or anyone.<BR/><BR/>http://actionsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2008/01/entertainment-and-christian.htmlRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276515253263872085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132398834656674229.post-62090328703588902042008-07-29T06:30:00.000-07:002008-07-29T06:30:00.000-07:00This is a fascinating post.

I am unfamiliar with blogs so don't really know how to go about this, but is there a way I could contact you to get them (perhaps by email)?<BR/>Thanks!! --I will check this page periodically to see your response.Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240312382851160212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132398834656674229.post-69471936132530019452008-07-28T17:10:00.000-07:002008-07-28T17:10:00.000-07:00I think we are all vulnerable to the same things, ...I think we are all vulnerable to the same things, not just teens and kids. Hopefully, we can use some discernment and wisdom, but I still am careful about what I watch and read.<BR/><BR/>I think it is something that happens in our brain, rather than people being too dumb to realize it isn't reality. Some people think they are smart enough or whatever to handle it. But it is very subtle.Kay Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915323487092648396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132398834656674229.post-78530207050184884592008-07-28T12:30:00.000-07:002008-07-28T12:30:00.000-07:00Not to mention the video games.

Completely de-tox them and let them see what it is to live their own life. Maybe live with the Amish for a while.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411842451151787159noreply@blogger.com
