Why I don't watch 'Scandal' and stopped watching 'Modern Family'

Maybe I should just remove ABC app altogether from my iPad but I'm still holding onto it because I believe in humanity or should I say insanity?

Modern Family used to belong to my list of guilty pleasures. And guilt I sure did feel because I would catch myself laughing many times at the quirks of the gay couple especially Cam's (I can't believe I still remember his name). Did I agree with the whole gay thing? Not at all.
But deep down I knew that my laugh (explained away by the fact that the gay couple was not exchanging spit on tv) meant that I was ok with 'this'. It also meant that I was part of a silent but yet powerful movement that is striving in desensitized our culture from what is amoral, wrong and against nature. Not only in regards to homosexuality but to sex outside the boundaries of marriage, to violence and many more vices that are mining our society. I wish it was this kind of rhetoric that prompted me to stop watching "Modern Family".
My wake up call came on the day after Kirk Cameron's appearance on Piers Morgan wherein he expressed his personal views and beliefs on homosexuality.

The backlash that ensued blew me away. I was very disappointed at, hurt and felt belittled by Jesse Tyler Ferguson's response (JTF) and more so at the advocates of the LGBT movement. JTF (the beardy man on the pic) is the gay co-star in the sitcom mentioned above, and he is truly gay in real life.
Why would I give my approval (by watching a show that wants me to look at homosexuality as the norm) to a community who doesn't respect who I am as a person, what I believe in or my faith that has carried me through til this day? If it's ok for JTF to flunk his sexuality, thus expressing his views on the subject why wouldn't be ok for someone who happens to disagree with him to do the same? Why should I encourage his craft by letting myself be counted among the watching population to boost his ratings? I could feel my inside boiling with rage, it was enough to cut the umbilical cord. That's how and why I stopped watching 'Modern Family' and never looked back.

Then it hit me again. Most shows on ABC have now a nuance of gayism in it. Whether it's a mother raveling about her son being gay, or a lawyer urging someone to come out of the closet to be exonerated (I think this was in the very first episode first season of the popular show 'Scandal', the first and last episode I ever watched!), or perfectly normal female  in a heterosexual relationship but now is nourishing and maintaining a same sex relationship (Grey's Anatomy).
And I figured that someone was working really hard at ABC to push down my throat the gay agenda. And I resented that. They used the same tactics that have succeeded with most of us by carving us into accepting nudity, cussing, violence, one-night stands ...etc as essential ingredients of a good movie/entertainment.

I urge you not to allow that to happen to you. and You here, is for any bible-believing, Holy Spirit filled, Christ follower. We all have some challenges but remember that by his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life [...] And because of his glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. [2 Pe 1:3-4]

However, if you want to stick w/ ABC but want to be 'gay' free, here are some shows that I can safely recommend, but remember that nothing guarantees it will stay that way:

- In The Middle: it's a fun family show about a classic american family.
- Castle: The typical murder case show, with a sideline of sexy rendezvous ( as I said earlier if seeing too much fornication on tv has numbed you, then you're 'safe')
- Shark Tank: for business savvy people
- Trophy Wife

There could be more, but I choose not to overload myself with worldly stuffs, especially of this kind. After all, there's a life after this life that is worthier of our pursuit than tv, sitcoms or any kind of shows.

I'm In Love with a Church Girl --- "Praisics" of a Movie

I went to the premiere of "I'm in love with a church girl" and I have to admit that I was more than pleased with the performance of Jeff 'JA Rule' Atkins' as the lead actor. I've always been skeptical of rappers/singers wanna-be actors. I especially loved the scenes where he's talking to God and breaks down before Him, the emotions it generates are palpable and the audience can relate to such moments; the honesty he conveys in admitting that he's not sure to be the godly man that Vanessa's parents are wishing for their daughter.
I wish I could ravel on the co-star's (Adrienne Baillon) performance. First of all I had never heard of her before this movie. So my first reaction was that, hey this movie is giving some aspiring actors a chance to show their craft, how cool is that. Then a couple of days before I actually watched the movie, a teen friend told me that she was a serious actress. So I even more so looked forward to the movie.
Except for a reference to the kids waiting , which extracted a few laughs of me,and her in a hospital bed, Ms. Baillon acting was down right, boring, fake and forced. Before I actually took time to write this piece, I googled her and was somewhat impressed by pedigree.So what happened where was that genius during the shooting of the film? Maybe she would have fared better had she had a singing part? Well, there is still room for improvement and I'm glad that there young aspiring actors who would find cool to play in a faith based movies.
That said, I wouldn't go as far as it give it a one star like the so-called critics at the WaPo. I would bump it up to two or maybe a tow and half out of 4, for the non-cussing and non-nudity (which in most decent films is unnecessary) .
However in regards to all this, I had some concerns or rather some questions such as: Should the church encourage missionary dating? Dating a non-believer in the hopes that he or she will convert. How many believers have dated a non-believer, went to club parties, slept over at the boyfriend's house wearing the boyfriend's night gown and resisted the temptation to have sex before marriage?
