1 | When Is Enough Enough? | Is 6:5 | Hank | 103754 | ||
Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters of the Forum: This morning I received a distrubing e-mail message from American Family Association. The Federal Communications Commission has aproved the use of the "F" word by all TV shows and radio programs, ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT. When is enough enough, and what can Christians do about it? While we still have the liberty to do so, we can protest vigorously to the FCC and to our senators and representatives. We can protest to the TV and radio stations that broadcast verbal pornography. We can boycott sponsors who pay the media for broadcasting filth. We can refuse to watch TV or listen to radio programs that broadcast vile language, explicit sex, and raw violence. And we can pray that God will bring this nation to repentence and a moral and spiritual awakening. But we must not, we simply cannot afford to, sit back and let the dark forces of evil invade the sanctity of our Christian homes and dump their garbage in our minds and in the minds of our children and grand-children. I submit that for today at least our time would be better spent in prayer and peaceful protest than in posting our opinions of Scripture on the Forum. Yours in Christ Jesus, --Hank | ||||||

This is the FCCs test on obscenity that hasn't changed: To be obscene, material must meet a three-prong test: (1) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (2) the material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and (3) the material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html This is the ruling that prompted the rumors: http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2003/DA-03-3045A1.html |

Hello Michael, I don't think it is a rumor. I just happened to be monitoring the toilet this past Friday evening, It was on PBS, when one of the major news personalities ( I don't watch it that often , But I recognized the man) used the "f" word, in an interview concerning war coverage. So much for the idea of a rumor, "they" have put it to use without delay. wordoer |
