People have NOT always been this way.
Have you ever stopped to wonder what brought about such a huge and tragic transformation in the character of mankind?
‘For men shall be
–lovers of their own selves,
–covetous,
–boasters,
–proud,
–blasphemers,
–disobedient to parents,
–unthankful,
–unholy,
–Without natural affection,
–trucebreakers,
–false accusers,
–incontinent, [lacking self control]
–fierce,
–despisers of those that are good,
–Traitors,
–heady, [rash/reckless]
–highminded, [blinded by pride; arrogant, haughty, insolent]
–lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
–Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
–> **from such turn away.** <–
. . . Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.’
(2 Tim. 3:3-5, 7)
I will tell you, in a word, why people have become this way:
TELEVISION !!
More than 60 years of social programming, and the list of sociopathic tendencies that Paul described 2,000 years ago, have now become a widespread reality in the Western World.
If you’ve lived as long as I have, you have witnessed the full program as it was put forth over the airwaves, little by little, leading us into deeper and more wicked sins as a nation, as time went on. If you’ve lived as long as I have, you have witnessed the character of our people change from innocence, generosity, love, honesty, fairness, respect for authority, patriotism, community-mindedness and concern for the welfare of others to . . . the sick, twisted description given above! (AND MORE!!, because that only describes their ATTITUDES . . . their behavior is even worse!)
You cannot name ONE thing on that list that has not subtly (or blatantly) been modeled and promoted as an American value, through television, over the course of the last few decades. That list is a comprehensive description of American television–read it again. Many of you are into the programming so deeply that you can’t even see it.
So . . . WHEN will you turn yours off?!!! Are you still allowing your CHILDREN to sit in front of the one-eyed monster, and have their consciences seared and their brains rewired to produce the sort of sociopathic monsters described above? Do you really think they are somehow immune? Don’t kid yourself–the programming is HIGHLY effective in producing the sort of minions that Satan needs to help run his kingdom!
And don’t deceive yourself that children’s TV is any better. ‘They’ have this down to a science. It’s just very SUBTLE at the level aimed at young children–symbols and very subtle things that most of us would not even pick up on. They ratchet up the brainwashing later, but they begin laying the foundation with the little kids.
Nowadays, everyone thinks this is ‘normal’, the way the kids act–the rebellion, the disrespect for authority, the disdain for adults, the self-centeredness and arrogance–because they are ALL being subjected to the same programming! But this is NOT NORMAL!!! This is what happens when you let Satan help you raise your kids. (YES, that is EXACTLY what is going on when you sit them down in front of his programming device.)

Good message!! Totally agree and have copied it to my blog. NOTE: You need to change the ref from 2 Tim 2 to 2 Tim 3 🙂 PS I don’t own a tv and haven’t for years. Got sick of all the brainwashing. http://enjoyingthejourney.blogspot.com/2014/11/tv-mass-programming-is-one-eyed-monster.html
Thank you! I’ll make the change. 🙂
I also totally agree, their is so much violence accepted today & immoral behavior. Jesus Christ would not be proud of what we have become. I am Native American & I see how so many of our Tribal members have turned cold & disrespectful just like the rest of society, I wished things could Change for the better of societys future & humanity!!!
I see television as the back up for the social brainwashing that occurs in the public schools. Most kids don’t spend 40 hours in front of the t.v. screen. But they do spend this much time in the public school system. The public school system has purposely brainwashed our children to rely on whatever the government says, and has minimized and criticized the family unit, as well as Christianity. The public schools teach the above listed character traits (2 Tim. 3:3-5) as being normal and even good. Children who have been schooled at home by their Christian parents, (and have even watched the T.V.,) for the most part do not have these characteristics….
TV, schools too, and more, but also the devil is wanting to get at it and is now restrained (2nd thess 2) and when the restrainer is finally removed it shows he’s already ready to get at it now because then when the restraint is gone he has great wrath because his time is so short (rev 12:12).
So he also has his under him busy right now getting people to fall away and wax worse and let their love grow cold and more so that when his time arrives most everythings ready, a world fit for an anti-christ to rule.
Under our own strength our love can grow cold, but the Lord has the love and strength and well more that we need so there’s really no excuse.
..the strong delusion as shown in 2nd thess 2..I used to figure (for whatever reason) that it was a very sudden thing..but now it seems sometimes like it’s already begun.
