Somebody mentioned Dr. Dobson from Focus on the Family, so I'm assuming that is what the article was about.
But about Sponge Bob...I don't watch it, and never will. It disgusts me. This post has given me even more reason to keep myself and my kids away from it. You speak of hidden sexual jokes...JUST WHAT I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO HEAR!! It doesn't matter if they get them or not.
LOL. You're kids are gonna be the hardest drug users ever when they rebel against you. Either that or the kids that get their butts kicked every day for acting like spazs. Hopefully they can break away from their close minded parents' thoughts one day and lead a better life.
Everything I do as a parent, at the tender age my children are at (3,2,9m), could and possibly will greatly affect them as they grow up. It is called setting boundaries, protecting them from those things they don't need to be involved in. You act as though sitting a child down in front of a "sexual innuendo filled TV show" is actually good for them. You act as though I am doing a bad thing to protect my children at the age they are at. (DOES ANYBODY ELSE SEE THE CRAZINESS IN THAT STATEMENT?) I am getting lambasted for PROTECTING my childrens' minds. I suppose, Kremit, that with your attitude, I should just let NMBLA come into my house and babysit for me. I DON'T THINK SO!!
I put boundaries up to protect my children and my childrens' minds.
I am not close-minded, just a parent who cares enough to think about all three of my sons' futures. I have a great responsibility in raising the next generation. And for your information, my parents set boundaries for me. I couldn't listen to certain radio stations or music or watch certain stations or shows, and guess what? I've never touched drugs in my life or been considered a spaz in school (except for by a couple people, but they of course had your attitude toward life (I can do anything and it won't affect me, and Christians are dorks!!))
Dr. Dobson is right in his article that I pasted above.
Quote:
Parents, I urge you to keep a close eye on your sons and daughters. Watch carefully everything that goes into their little minds. Monitor their textbooks and the words of their teachers. Do not turn them over to harmful television programs. When God�s name is used in vain, or when sex and violence come on the screen, turn off the tube and then read and discuss together the scriptures found in Psalm 103:3: "I will set before my eyes no vile thing" [NIV]. Read uplifting and inspiring stories to your children daily. This obligation to teach your children biblical truths continually is unmistakably written in Deuteronomy 6:6-8, which tells us:
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands, and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. [NIV]
Focus on the Family will continue to help you fulfill this task of bringing up your children "in the fear and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). If you have little ones at home, you might consider signing up for our Focus on Your Child program, which provides a wealth of resources that will help parents implement a decidedly Christian approach to raising children. This donor-sponsored service delivers practical, age-appropriate advice and encouragement right to your home each month. In addition to receiving newsletters and audio journals, members have round-the-clock access to a Web site filled with helpful articles and topical advice. For more information, please visit our Web site at www.focusonyourchild.com.
Wow, what a concept, raising your children with morals and values not based on a society that says EVERYTHING IS OKAY!! It's not okay. There are things that will harm us, but most are blind (close-minded) to the truth.
