The TV is my shepherd, my spiritual growth shall want.

It makes me to sit down and do nothing for His name’s sake, because it requires all my spare time. 

It keeps me from doing my duty as a Christian, because it presents so many good shows I must see.

It restores my knowledge of the things of this world, and keeps me from the study of God’s Word.

It leads me in the paths of failing to attend worship services, and doing nothing for the Kingdom of God.

Yea though I live to be 100, I shall keep on viewing my TV as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion.

Its sounds and its picture, they comfort me.

It presents entertainment before me, and keeps me from doing important things with my family.

It fills my head with ideas which differ from those set forth in the Word of God.

Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my TV offers me no good time to do the will of God; thus I will dwell in spiritual poverty all the days of my life.
