I want to invite all Christians to join me in this pursuit of greater purity of heart and mind. In our day, when entertainment media is virtually the lingua franca of the world, this is an invitation to be an alien.
I believe with all my heart that what the world needs is radically bold, sacrificially loving, God-besotted freaks — aliens. In other words, I am inviting you to say no to the world for the sake of the world.
The world does not need more cool, hip, culturally savvy, irrelevant copies of itself.
That is a hoax that thousands of young Christians have been duped by. They have got to be hip, cool, savvy, culturally aware, watching everything in order not to be freakish. And that is undoing them morally and, I think, diminishing their witness.
Sexual relations is a beautiful thing. God created it and pronounced it good. But it is not a spectator sport.

Try watching the first 3 seasons of “Victoria”. It’s like G.O.T. but with real historical people. Some of it is fictionalized, but it hews to history pretty closely.

Long ago in Catholic school, the nuns (REAL nuns!) used to teach us this! Truth never goes out of style.
Try watching the first 3 seasons of “Victoria”. LOL.
No.
Nor should Buddhists, Hindus, atheists etc...
Read the books instead. Watching TV is destroying people’s brains.
I am just so tired of medieval/dungeons and dragons/lotr kinds of stuff.
heres the winner!
Yeah it was good but no dragons.
Just saying...
"Rock and Roll has got to go!"
True, but Lord Palmerston made up for it.

Let’s broaden it to television in general. I find very little to watch except TCM old movies.
Piper is right!
There was a time when even Hollywood made wonderful, thought provoking, involved, sophisticated movies.........without graphic raw sex scenes.
Now it’s displayed on TV
John Piper is one of the most honest, caring, passionate pastors of today......he’s the real deal!
And he’s right!
I wanted to watch GOT.......tried to watch it.......but the enthralling dialogue and storyline became obliterated by a scene of purely salacious excuse to go to the lowest common denominator.........evil
You know doggone well this objection isn’t about .....dancing.
Is clever sarcasm your only answer
No.
They should listen to Frank Zappa’s entire catalog.
He writes...”Men and women who want to be watched in their nudity are in the category with exhibitionists who pull down their pants at the top of escalators.”....
That would be ‘all’ of Hollywood celebrities and most of the women and young girls today.
and the show naked and afraid- pervert exhibitionists-
If it wasn’t for Yahoo News, I would have never heard of Game of Thrones. I don’t watch TV.
Well I think our society in general has a very loose understanding of what the sexual act is actually about if they are taking their ques from celebrities ‘pretending’ they’re having sex regardless of how it’s being shown.....they’re ‘acting’.
