THREE FILMS.
I've decided to divide this up by category because I just like way more than three...sorry! I couldn't narrow it down AT ALL. And in case you may be wondering, I was raised Baptist and we watched well movies, not really 'tv', so that's where this list comes from! :)
1. TV shows: Penguins of Madagascar, Tom & Jerry, Cops, and Friends ...yes an odd collection. A fact I am much aware of lol.
2. Jane Austen type movies. Such as Pride & Prejudice, Emma, The Inheritance, Jane Eyre, Wives & Daughters, Persuasion, etc.

3. John Wayne movies!!! They are SO classic! I love John Wayne and I've always enjoyed watching his movies, even when I was a little girl I would watch them with my Papa!
In case you are wondering: yes, I am Apostolic Pentecostal, but I was raised Baptist and only recently (as of January 2012) started following the ways of AP. I am still undecided on whether or not is a sin to watch movies. I think there are some that for sure should never be watched. I do not watch horror films and I try my very best to avoid movies with nudity, profanity, and taking God's name in vain (although in modern/current films that is pretty next to impossible unless it's filmed by an independent company such as Sherwood Pictures.) I am praying and working out what I believe in the area of watching movies and tv in general but have not come up with any firm conviction yet.

Haha oh how funny!! I got hooked on the show when I started working at Old Navy back in 2009. I think I'm most like Monica...but her brother is my favorite character, although sometimes it dries me nuts that he is so shy around girls and just cant talk straight lol.

I can't get enough of the penguins....and as for your dilemma of faith, I agree with you that there are some movies/books/games (horror, zombies) that should never be allowed if you consider yourself not just a child of God, but also follower of Christ. As for the rest, I look at this way, if I can easily turn it off and it is not taking me away from my faith, then it doesn't really matter. I have found that as I grow and mature, my tastes have changed anyway. :0)
ReplyDeleteOn the faith issue I have had the same experience. I used to watch a lot of really awful shows back in my college days (really like less than two years ago lol, but saying it like that makes me feel old). I have noticed when I'm around friends who still watch those shows I'd much rather sit in the other room and talk or play a board game than watch the show because it bothers me to sit and watch something I know isn't right. I think before I knew it wasn't right, but it didn't bother me.
