Piss-poor propaganda, indeed! But it's free with my cable internet subscription:) Oh how those loathsome bastards ensnare me! And I don't even get the good channels:( TV certainly does suck: programming, advertisments, psuedo-educational drivel… Piss-poor propaganda, indeed!

This year I have had many struggles with wanting and stuff envie around me. It is such a struggle to live simply with all of the outside influences in our environment. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting, it is nice to see that I'm not the only person out there who thinks of things like this.

I definitly struggle here. Everytime I start watching these shows or go to a store I want to change what I have in my home for something new! I really have to be on my guard with this. Thankfully my dh keeps me in check most of the time! Loved this post Sara! I definitly struggle here.

What can I say? Such an inspiration! We have not had a TV, by choice, since before we were married. 23 years. Before I was a Christian I spent hour upon hour consumed by TV. I used to skip class to watch my favorite soap opera. I was so involved with the "lives" of those people that the show was more important to me than truly important things. Clearly, my priorities were out of whack! Our children grew up loving God and books and us and real people, not TV characters and trash. All three of them are serving God, not "stuff," along with us on the mission field, and I believe that part of that is that we do not own a TV and have alwasy discouraged "wanting." I'm so thankful for that! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the book you mention by John Piper. I'm very interested to read it. I'll probably have to wait until the next time I'm back in the States, but that's OK. I'm so excited to find you...you write what is in my heart! <BR/><BR/>~Mariah~ (in Spain)<BR/><BR/>PS My dad calls Christmas time "The Greed Season." Sadly, he's right.

I truly mean that. Dh and I are still amazed after 6+ years of no t.v. how people cannot fathom living w/o one. People that know us well STILL forget and will say,"oh,hey,did you see....".
