	Umm, Boisy, I don't see you point with getting rid of the rest of
that stuff.  The radios are easy to control as to what you hear on them,
or haven't you ever heard of good old gospel music tapes.  Computers are
also easy to control as to what goes on to them, and they are not 
supported by advertisers dollars.  Nothing wrong with word processing
or email listservs.
	The Bible tells us to avoid all appearances of evil, and as far
as the TV and VCR's are concerned, they are used for an awful lot of 
evil.  You can defend it by saying that you control what your children
or yourself watches, but I don't really know a show on television that
actually displays biblical family and life values.  As far as using the
VCR only to show tapes to your children, that's a decision that you need
to make.  But I have seen talk on this listserv about Star Wars, and other
non-Godly "entertainment".
	Also, the Bible says to give no place to the devil, and if you
watch any television, there is an extreme temptation to watch something
that you know you shouldn't.  Also, try watching advertising, and tell
me that they are all wholesome messages, concerned only with your 
salvation and spiritual health.
	One final note before I go.  The pastor for our church also
preaches against having a TV in your home.  He has a list of 45 sound
Biblical reasons why you should NOT have a TV in the home.  It was 
really hard for me to get rid of the television, but I finally saw the
light.  
TV's - Trying living without them, you'll like what you find.
