[Each month in 2025, we wander down memory lane, repeating the Grif Net email/blog posts for an entire week from 25 years ago. This is the last from February 2000.]
(Modern Paraphrase)
The T.V. set is my shepherd. My spiritual growth shall want.
It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for His name's sake, because it requireth my spare time. It keepeth me from doing my duty as a Christian because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see.
It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world, and keepeth me from the study of God's word. It leadeth me in the paths of failing to attend the evening worship services and doing nothing in the Kingdom of God.
Yea, though I live to be a hundred, I shall keep on viewing my T.V. as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion. Its sound and its picture, they comfort me.
It presenteth entertainment before me, and keepeth me from doing important things with my family. It fills my head with ideas that differ from those set forth in the Word of God.
Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my T.V. offereth me no good time to do the will of God; thus I will dwell in the place of shame and sorrow forever.
