Sunday night was the last night of freedom for the kids before school started. We had a dual-purpose family meeting in the living room.

Advice for movie-goers with a moral compass

Posted By Jeff on June 8th, 2007


Because Jenny has found yet another site for us all to be addicted to – in Flixster – I found this post by a recent blog I’ve stumbled across as timely and relevant. The main question is, “How do you determine whether or not to see a particular movie, based on your ethical code or faith convictions?”

Read cavman’s entry and tell me what you think.

This is something we encounter a lot, because I LOVE movies, particularly scary ones (not sci fi, but more along the lines of whodunit murder ones) and they are often questionable in morals of course.
This is also true of a lot of shows as well.
I probably don’t make the best decisions on what to “let into” my home.

I have to say,if we judged what we watched by how we live our daily lives….no one would own a television.Recently I had read a remark by James Dobson about profanity,sex,drugs and violence in television sitcoms.So as an experiment I decided to watch the most popular sitcoms(remaining nameless) and counted how many times they showed one or all of the above things.The average was around 11 per 30 minute sitcom.So I challenge everyone to do the same-and see what results you get.

Not to say that,well that is all there is on,is any excuse at all.I am not a big television watcher.I watch alot of news and weather and a few discovery and nick at night shows,but even those arent exempt,believe me.LOL

I love shows/movies with a message-those are my favorites(as you will see on my flixster)but I do put a few others in the mix.Thank you and good night.LOL
