Didacus Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Remove cable from your house... best advice I can give. (I have not had cable since I don't ever remember when... the family is much happier for it. Well.. the wife occaisonally nags... but the rest is A-OK!) Edited July 26, 2005 by Didacus
Fidei Defensor Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 [quote name='Seven77' date='Jul 26 2005, 04:29 PM']What!!!? that means no EWTN! [right][snapback]660112[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Thats whats stopping me. But then again, Im not the one paying for the cable, my parents are, and i dont think they would fly for the idea of not having it.
littleflower+JMJ Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 voici!! is that a nick-at-nite tv?!! nnnoooooooooooooooooooo
shelly_freak Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I'm going out to lunch with my gay friend Mike next week.
annie Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 tough call---what to do. Letter is a good idea, but I suppose it would end up in the hands of someone who actually was a watcher of that particular channel... It is so difficult--we canceled our subscription to the Chicago Tribune, when my hubby tossed yet ANOTHER 'Family Section' featuring alternative lifestyle couples' issues on the front of the section ..... There is such an agenda! An attempt to 'mainstream' it right into the general media in such a way as to numb our brains into thinking it is not just acceptable, but MORE normal than 'Ozzie and Harriet', you know?
Dudette Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I lived practically all my childhood without tv, I'm sure your kids can do the same.

ofpheritup Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 MAY I OFFER MY LITTLE HUMBLE OPINION....HAH Keep the cable, there is more good on it than bad. Write a letter to your cable company. Throw in a little prayer and fasting. Don't watch that particular show. Write the show let them know you won't be watching them anymore and why. Start a petition, surely, hopefully you are not the only one who feels that way. I don't have cable and I am getting a commercial for INTERACTIVE MALE. Where guys get to call guys. YUCK. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 That's nothing new really. I see commercials for Bravo! all the time.
Noel's angel Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 i hate the way SKY have put EWTN right beside the gay and lesbian dating channels, eugh
homeschoolmom Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 It used to make me so irritated that Nick Jr. would put on commercials between shows for crappy Brittany Spears cds and carp... "Hello, we're trying to watch Blue's Clues here!!!!" I wrote to Nickelodean and they pretty much told me "tough noogies." We only have the basic cable now.... Networks and local government, school board meetings etc. What's weird is I don't think any of our cable companies offer EWTN (we never had it when we had the gazzilion channels) but my mom (who has never had cable) can get it. It's way up on the dial (like 54 or something). And of course, she'd never watch "that Catholic channel" (or any other religious station, for that matter)... It just seems like it's being wasted...
Noel's angel Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 its channel 680 on SKY-we only recently got it and I didn't even know about it until 2 weeks after when I was flicking through channels. Funny how they advertise every other channel but when it comes to religion, they shy away-'don't want to offend any Non-Catholics'. What about Catholics who are offended by dating channels???

sweetpea316 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Sorry, off topic... Yeah I saw one of those commercials the other day also. Grr.
