We do not have cable television in our home; we canceled cable a year ago. We only get local channels, so rarely do we watch the popular cable TV shows. Besides, it is a “waste of time.” As Elder Uchtdorf said, “The nonessential things that take up time should be discarded, bad habits changed.”
After having a family home evening on the influence the media can have on our spirits, you can serve ice cream for desert. In each bowl of ice cream, place something disgusting. It’s easy to find dead bugs lying around; just plop one of those spiders, flies, crickets, etc in with the ice cream.
As you watch the horrifying expressions, you can say, “There’s just a small bad part, just eat around it.” It really emphasizes the point.
However, there are alternatives. We watch all of our movies after they have come out on DVD, and we edit them for content so that are children are not exposed to the indoctrination of filth by Hollywood. They are clean. It’s like watching a movie without all the gross bugs in the ice cream. How do we do it? You can edit your own movies by ripping the movie to your computer hard drive via AnyDVDHD, converting the files via TMPGEnc XPress, editing via Sony Vegas Video, and DVD creation via Sony DVD Architect. Then just burn the finished edited movie on a DVD-R. While I still advise to steer clear of R rated movies, this is a great way to edit your PG-13 and PG rated movies. You can be sure that movies are safe in your home so that your children will not pre-maturely encounter vulgar language in children’s movies such as Shrek, Harry Potter, or Jumanji as well as many Disney movies that are no longer family friendly.
