Very good, Kosherette. Thanks for the explanation. If it is a real issue of getting people to wake up to the truth and stop listening to these people, then your time is well-spent.
Regarding music, I believe that there is a faith issue here that is blocking blessing from God's people. People hear the music from these people of the world and even God's people think, "Those guys are master musicians. No one else could do that well. I can't bear to give up all that good music." In other words, they look on musicians like John Lennon or Elton John as the source of this great music and therefore put up with the garbage that is taught in the songs to be able to enjoy the great music.
What would happen if we realized that God is the source of every good thing, including Elton John's tunes, and He can give those good gifts to anyone He chooses. He let Elton John have some of it to test us, to see if we will worship Elton John or Him. If we look to God as the source of music, then God will bless us with better music than Elton John ever passed along to us. However, we have even Christian musicians from Phil Keaggy to Cameron What's-his-name saying "Paul McCartney is my musical hero." This is self-limiting man worship, and it is no wonder that the resulting "Christian" contemporary music sounds mediocre alongside McCartney's music. God turns off the spigot to His children when they glorify man instead of Him.
There is one crucial difference between television and the internet. Anyone can post their information online, therefore you are able to receive content from Christians and non-Christians. The television however is owned by large corporations that choose what programming is broadcast. There are some exceptions, I'm sure. With regard to that programming, the shows, and movies etc,. there is a vast body of evidence that directly proves the intentions of the writers, actors and directors. Some of them are too horrible to reproduce here, but the ones that come to mind are from famous movie directors who state openly that their position is to mock and ridicule God and Christianity. They refer to the movie-going audience as stupid and gullible. It is not merely a question of violence and sex as content. It is a constant undermining of Christian values and a replacement of what is good for what is bad. The Bible states we are not to call what is good bad and what is bad good. Yet this is what we see on the tube everyday. David made a covenant with his eyes to place no unclean thing before them. We as humans are made in God's image and we ought to have the utmost respect for Him as our Creator. It makes sense to shy away from the entertainers who come under demon possession in their performances. It is hard to justify wanting to watch possessed performers touting storylines filled with divorce, violence, homosexuality, promiscuity, and perversion. The philosophies of these people pervade our society and it is truly a sad thing.

somewhat true The government it self had made it clear in the past that they do at times watch what people are saying and how they are using the Net The reason is because the Net can be used for support and give plans to terrorist.
I think the real fight should not trying to get rid of Tv but trying to teach our kids the dangers of geting into the occult thinking everything in tv is real.
When the kids are brought up knowing and understand it not real they have a less chance geting into the occult Because one of the reasons kids get into the occult is Tv give a false illusion that this stuff is real, which will also if kids are brought up this way they will watch what they watch and when they feel God bring Convicting they will stop.
“We receive our songs by inspiration, like at a séance” (Keith Richards of the ROLLING STONES, Rolling Stone, May 5, 1977, p. 55). Yoko Ono and John Lennon also openly stated they received their 'music' via seance. On the cover of Sgt. Pepper's they placed the faces of people they considered to be a 'great club of mystics' including satanist Aleister Crowley. On the bottom can be seen a woman in scarlet, whom they were depicting as the woman from Revelation. McCartney said 'we were going to have photos on the wall of all our HEROES'. Referring to Jesus John Lennon said 'Jesus El Pifico, a garlic-eating, stinking little yellow, greasy fascist bastard catholic Spaniard.'
Go to youtube and look up 'They Sold Their Souls for Rock N Roll'. You can see the 3 hour version and believe me, you won't want to let this music influence you any more.
It isn't to say you can't be saved or have a relationship with God or that you will be necessarily seduced into entering the occult. The fact is that the very powerful people who are in the spotlight use that position to pump sheer spiritual poison into unsuspecting people. In the Bible there are (I'm estimating) hundreds of verses about how we are to raise our voices in song to our Creator. 'Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness'. Ps. 30:4 'Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it'. Ps 34:14 There are scriptures that state that music is for the worship of God. The angels in heaven lift up their voices to God. If good, saintly, heavenly gospel music is for God and he wants us to sing it, just what do you think the purpose is for music that is discordant, racy, sexist and channeled to people via demons used for? The Bible tells us everything we need to know about life, and we can be educated fully by it. Music is for worship and we are to depart from evil. The next verse from Ps. 34:15 is this: 'The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry'. What a beautiful truth! God's eyes and ears are upon the righteous who depart from evil. May Glory be to God Almighty in heaven! Amen.
