TV Channels Christians Should Ban

If you want to avoid evil programming, don't get cable or satellite, and don't watch network TV aside from sports, news, and local shows. Also, be forewarned that computers and smart phones with Internet are potentially far more dangerous than TV.

But if you must have cable, there are some channels that are heads above rest in terms of the evil they promote. Christians should use the controls of program menus to block the channels listed below.

However, if you block them, your children may see them at a friend's house and may wonder why you don't get them. If they asked, you would have to tell them that you blocked the channels. Your kids may develop a forbidden fruit mentality with respect to such TV channels and may want to watch them more than if you hadn't blocked them. So it is best not to get cable at all, so that the collection of cable channels will be out of sight and out of mind, so to speak. But if you must get cable, here are the channels to ban:

BET
MTV
MTV2
VH1
VH1 Classic
Fuse
CMT
GAC
Comedy Central
SPIKE
G4
IFC  
E!
Oxygen
All movie channel packages including: HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Sundance, STARZ, FOX Movie Channel, etc.
Any other channels you see fit to block.

Explanations
BET (Viacom) BET used to have a show called "BET Uncut", which featured rap videos with sexual themes. They used to have prosperity preacher infomercials come on right after it. Anyway, programming may revert back to such shows as Uncut. At present, some comic shows exhibit lewd jokes about sex.

MTV, MTV2 (Viacom) Obviously, this is one of the worst channels in terms of glorifying degenerate behavior. It is marketed to teenagers, so it is particularly dangerous. Jersey Shore is worse than the Real World was, because the Jersey Shore people are a rare breed of "sophisticated" partiers who do nothing with their lives other than party. The Real World characters also partied a lot and had more sex to boot, but they were a little more human. Teen Mom puts the focus on girls who've had premarital sex and illegitimate children, quite a model of the family for young viewers. There's also the Jackass type shows. Jackass is more gruesome and disturbing than anything the proto-Jackass character Tom Green ever did. The PBS documentary, The Merchants of Cool, identifies people who do such degrading things for attention as Mooks. The mooks on Jackass influenced some of my friends growing up, as they would mimic them by doing goofy daredevil stuff. There's also shallow shows like Made, which teach young people not how to do good things but rather how to be cool. In sum, these shows promote the antithesis of what most people want their kids to become. This is not to mention the relationship to pop music these networks promote, all of which is derived from voodoo, and which is naturally conducive to immorality and sometimes Satanism. (Rock, pop, rap, Jazz, the Blues, reggae, and some techno are part of the voodoo-derived family tree.)

If you want to know why rock music is bad, watch Pastor Joe Schimmel's They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll, read David Tame's The Secret Power of Music, Fr Basil Cole's Music and Morals, Fr Basil Nortz's Music and Morality, E. Michael Jones's Dionysus Rising, watch Br Michael Dimond's Abortion and Rock Music, watch Pastor Mike Hoggard's The Occult in Christian Music, read the Music and Morality tab on the Ob Lure, and most importantly, consult your own conscience.


VH1, VH1 Classic (Viacom) These networks aren't quite as bad as MTV but still have similar garbage reality shows and feature pop music.

Fuse This network actually aired a show called "Dance Off Pants Off", a competition in which people danced to music while stripping off all their clothes, or, in other words, an excuse to attract viewers with more explicit pornography than what is aired on MTV. Whether or not shows like this are presently aired, the network should be banned for its promotion of pop music.

CMT (Viacom) , GAC Modern Country music is nothing but rock music with air horns and twangy singing. Often, the same themes in rock and rap videos such as Jay-Z's Big Pimpin' with lots of bikini women are found in some country music videos. Also, the songs usually concern mundane things like sitting around a campfire and drinking beer. In any case, because modern country is rock music and therefore descended from voodoo, it should be avoided.

Comedy Central (Viacom) This network has a history of bad programming. Its most recent addition is Tosh 2.0. The comedian Tosh has a good wit, but he is too cruel and gruesome. Comedy Central is where "The Man Show" originated, which compacts manhood into beer drinking and lusting after pretty women. South Park is creative but rudely debauched. Humor is fine, but there's no need to fill it with extreme sexual perversion, indifference to murder, and general inhuman themes. The movies aired follow suit with the shows, as is the case with movies shown on MTV, VH1, and Fuse.

SPIKE TV (Viacom) This network fancies itself as The Man Show turned into an entire network. Programming is similar to Comedy Central, with The Man Show being formerly featured, as well as movies like American Pie.

G4 In the past it has aired The Man Show, and presently airs Campus PD, which displays delinquent and criminal behavior in college kids.

IFC Before airing commercials, the network was uncut and would often show movies rife with nudity like Dancing at the Blue Iguana. Other movies included those too disturbing for mainstream cable, such as Quills, Requiem for a Dream, Hostel, Boys Don't Cry, over-the-top grotesque horror films, and demented films with real-life drag queens as the main characters. People may think they're being cool by watching artsy independent films on IFC because they're getting off the beaten path of feature films tailored to the dumbed down masses. But most of these artsy movies are moral garbage no matter how artful they may be. Moreover, their artfulness is more image than real artistic quality. IFC used to air documentaries with sexual perverts who would glorify sexual perversion in film. They cast filmmakers who showed nudity and perverted sexual behaviors as pioneers. Presently, bad films are still shown on IFC, although now they are somewhat censored because of commercials. It's better to fill the limited time in your life with other things.

E! This network has the typical cold-blooded paparazzi shows with hosts joyfully mocking the periodic personal struggles of celebrities. Also, the Kardashian reality TV shows proliferate, along with the Comic Chelsea Handler who joked about an abortion that was performed on her. Today they air censored Sex in the City episodes, but these are nothing compared with the shows of the past, namely, the perverted "Howard Stern" and the risque "Wild On!" But the shows of the present are still bad enough to warrant blocking the network.

Oxygen This should be banned primarily for its history of airing infomercials at night selling the sort of stuff found in adult bookstores.

Movie Channel Packages HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Sundance, STARZ, FOX Movie Channel, etc. Besides airing soft core porn from time to time, these networks have plenty of uncensored R movies. However, TMC should be no worse than what is aired on network TV.

Additionally, channels not mentioned here may become worse in the future, so use your own discretion. Moreover, blocking the channels listed above won't keep all of the demons in Pandora's Box away from your home, and it's up to you as to what degree of malevolence you'll tolerate from them. In any case, the channels above must absolutely be barred from your TV if you want to protect your children and yourself from wasting your lives with a view to a heightened evil. Finally, if you decide to block these and other channels, don't neglect implementing a block on Internet because it is far more dangerous than even these channels for obvious reasons. Just don't screen out the Oblure ;-)
