What all i write here is what i feel, its my feelings and my ideas and views. If you feel its good you can accept. f you feel iam wrong, then nothing wrong with you.. You all can continue to be what you are!!! May God Bless You!!!
I Still remember once a Pastor was telling that TV stands for Thalai Vedana, Which means Head Ache!!
I some times think how true it is. Coz the more we watch the more we get headache. And also many have become addicted to this these days. One day if they miss some show or serials they lead rest of the day as if they have lost something!! they are restless for the other half of the day. i have seen so many blessed sisters who by chance missed a show or a episode of a serial on that particular day coz of power failure or coz of some other un avoidable circumstances!! they show that anger on their children and husband and family! How sad is it.. these things prove that they give importace for these TV shows more than their own family. In other words they have become addicted to it!! If they dont watch it for a day they feel restless ad they get headache like an alcohol addict or a smoker.
Let me now highlight some things which many sister and families compensate for watching a TV show or serial.
1. Sisters arrange their daily schedule according to their Favorite serials timings!! For Example Most of them cook good foods and tasty foods in the morning coz they dont have much serials in the mornings and in the evening all foods cooked by them would be simple, not that tasty or at times it might have been over heated or fried and at times smell smoked!! you know why?? coz our dear sisters were busy watching TV show while cooking!!!
2. Many Families plan their evening family prayers according to the timings of the shows and serials. It goes like this... either before the serial starts, they will finish a fast prayer and directly go to serials, or will watch all their serials one after other and then sit together and do a fast food prayer, or even at some extremes they say one word prayer at the interval gaps they get between two serials!!! How sad is that we wanna corner Christ according to our own wish and plans. Is he meant for that. Think for a second if Jesus does the same towards us what will happen to us???
3. In Kerala we have a regular power break down for 30 mins. This happens daily for example 8 to 8;30 pm or 9 to 9;30 pm like that. I have personally seen many families scheduling their family prayers perfectly in this power break time!! How pleasant it is to see people giving Lord such wonderful timing!! When we ourself know that this 30 mins of power cut is good for nothing as we cant do anything during that time and why do we wanna give that to Lord?? Why does Lord want your unwanted times??
Like this i cant bring in many things!!!
I have seen many well to do families have brought 3 to 4 TV's for their home. One for Father to watch Sports!! One for Mother to watch her Serials!! and one for Kids to watch Cartons!! and one wold be in the Hall for show purpose!!! Not that they love each other but just coz they need to avoid family clash on this!!! Iam not judging anyone!! and that not my ministry.. iam just trying to bring out what we do knowingly or unknowingly and what is the real purpose of our life in this world!!!
If i have to write i can write pages and pages on this!!
But let me conclude saying few more things!!!
1. Most of the stories they show in these mega serials and shows are not ethical for us to watch. Remember our innocent kids are getting influenced by these.
2. The director and the production team just for the sake of making money they stretch and stretch a small decent subject or story for 5 to 6 years... obviously to do this they wont have story so they add so much adulterated stuffs like same person marrying 3 to 4 times so that they can take the same story for years and years, a murder so that a long investigation would happen for years , certain characters abscond and would come back after 1 or 2 years so till then the story goes on and on, re births of many characters.. like this what ever way they can they stretch the story in a unethical manner and we sit and watch it.
3. These characters who act are also not real. They are not simple and innocent as you see in screen. They would have never cried even a single time in their real life. Most of them would be stone hearted. Even if their dear ones die in real life they would ask for a glycerin to cry coz their life has come to such a stage that they can do only things for money!!! We by seeing them crying and weeping all through the serial we even forget our dear ones and start loving these characters who in real life would have divorced many husband and wife and never even knew the meaning of family life!!
4. Recently how may serial actress have been caught for Prostitution?? What does this mean?? This mean that they do act and do even sex just for making money and not to educate society or to make an awareness!!! When they wanna make money for their selfish goals and needs without doing anything for their society. Why do you wanna support them with your time and money? you might ask how come money?? yes these long hours of watching TV and burning up your time and eyes and health will cost your electricity bill as well as ur health. it might sound simple but its not. If not you always remember your little ones are getting influenced by these!!! They say within their hearts my dad nd my mom loves these serials and the characters why not me?? and they also start doing and following many of these acting characters do on screen!!!
One more thing i have to add to this.. Many husband and wife live together cheating each other.. They carry a serial star within their hearts rather than carrying their life partner with whom they live. they forget the reality and lead a dream life!! They live just in physic with their family and mentally they are with these characters, which means that much they are influenced by this!! They expect and dream a life with someone else!! They even carry a photo of these dream heroes in their room!! How sad?? Remember!!! This actor or actress whom you think is better than you wife or husband is not at all good as you think!! They are good only in acting and not in real life. Your husband or your wife is always better to live with in reality!!! Live a real life!! You don't influence your kid doing wrong things!! If so tomorrow you will repent and by that time they would go out of your hands!!!
Awake my dear people!! Its high time to realize the reality!! As King Solomon said these are vanity!!
Please come out of these things!! Realize the fact for what you are alive and do Lord will!!!
If you say you need refreshment and want relaxation.. yes we need that. But there are many better ways for that!!! Find one of that which is acceptable by God and ethical for your family!!
You know what? I dont watch movies now. But i used to watch without my parents knowledge. Coz they don't like!! And i also left watching mega serials and TV shows long back. Wanna know why? Because, even after my Jesus comes, these serials wont end. These are never ending Trap. So after iam raptured how can i watch the climax? This is one single reason iam telling!! there are many.. so i thought of not wasting time watching these when iam alive. I dedicate this to all TV and Mega Serial Lovers! Comments ? Or say Amen & you are Blessed! Amen?

i agree so much with this message. nowadays people feel its not wrong at all to watch tv for hours and what more movies that speak unnecessary dialogues. Not to be fanatic, but at times i see peoples life get carried away by movies and serials. rather keep our mind with the Lord all the time, and we can ward away unnecessary thoughts altogether. As children of God it is important to keep our eyes, ears, lips, heart and mind holy because we are the temple of the Living Holy Spirit
