Turn off the tube - it is poison to the mind

TURN OFF THE TUBE - IT IS POISON TO THE MIND
Dear Mr Griffin:
I have long been a reader of "Unfiltered News." Thank you for the opportunity to be able to read news with real truth in it. I want to comment on television. All I hear and see from people about television would make me believe, if I didn't know better, that there is an effective law forcing people to watch television. Since I turned off the tube completely almost five years ago, I find my mind opening up to new thoughts and original ideas that are as "common sense" as can be, but seem to humor or appall other people. And the fact that my children were raised almost completely without television seems to make them a little different, too... actors rather than RE-actors, definitely able to support themselves and their families, and a strong contempt for lies and gossip... and propaganda, which they can easily assess.

My advice is... if all we're going to see is propaganda, all we're going to hear is lies, and all we're going to do is get more brainwashed and led deeper into the "Pit of Distraction," why should we watch television? Indeed the news, itself, seems to be some of the greatest entertainment on the tube, but there is no truth... only lies that will take us farther and farther from our true goal, a constitutional government. It is obviously detrimental to our health and finances, and used by the powers we oppose to accomplish all of the above. Keep the movies you love, but turn off the tube. It is the single most devastating communication median ever devised, and it is being very effectively used to develop and spread the only thing that can defeat this once great nation... corruption from the inside out.

Turn it off. Block the air waves from your home. Let your kids, your family, live without subjection, being able to make up their own minds, learning to have a conversation that doesn't include the latest gossip and fad. Let them grow up FREE of television and you will find out they will grow up FREE in this nation, FREE in mind and spirit, FREE as God intended.

James 1:5-6 states: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed."

Television changes subjects every 15 to 30 seconds. That, alone, is enough to program young minds, and older folks alike, to be unfocused and wavering and to accept it as normal and ordinary. We must stay focused in our minds and spirits if we expect to accomplish our goals. Turn off the TV.

I agree completely.

( i was going to take out the bible passage but that would be wrong to the author. lol)

I couldn't agree more. For years I wanted to take the axe to my one at times, and then my daughter suggested we sell the thing on the internet. Thats what we did, put a dollar reserve on it!

She was quite addicted to it, and I was also to a certain degree. It makes kids attention spans, the length of time between ads, and stops the development of their imagination

Cheers

I've been tv free at home for a couple years and running- never been anything but glad it's gone. I miss the food channel too. And occasional reruns of Bewitched. Agnes Moorhead was pure genius.

I no longer watch as much TV and I would say that there's been a pretty steep drop in that due to my job on 3rd shift and that I'm rarely, if ever home due to other committments.

And it has shown as my mind is far more open than it was a few months ago.

Lythocrist · 03-08-2009, 04:43 PM

I agree as well, and watch very little TV. Although...When I can I watch the science channel, national geographic,The history channel, and 'sometimes' the military channel. Just so I can see what's in the public domain of information.

It kinda makes me sad that so many humans base their lives on MTV and other things of that nature.

cant think of a better tool to brain wash the masses than a six pack in one hand and the remote in the other.
