My wife loves to watch the entertainment shows every night. Extra and Entertainment Tonight are her faves. To me, you only need to watch one of the two, because they pretty much all repeat the same “news”. Who got out of a car without their underwear last night? Who screamed and cursed at the paparazzi last night after leaving dinner? Who is having a “plastic surgery nightmare”? Who is in or out of drug rehab? The only things I get out of those shows are the sneak peek movie trailers, but you can generally find those on the internet now.
Anyway, I finally had to put my foot down the other day and tell my wife that I didn’t want her watching those shows around the kids anymore. I felt that I had heard enough questionable language and content aired there that I didn’t want my oldest hearing it and picking it up. I’m starting to feel the same way about the evening news, with the many objectionable acts we hear about on a daily basis.
Whose side are you on? Do you take a stand for what you feel is right? Or, in an attempt to be liked by others or nonconfrontational do you just go along with the flow and don’t rock the boat.
Just remember, if you’re a friend of the world, you could be an enemy of God.
