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.
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.
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
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.
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’.
Fantasy doesn’t need sexual depravity to be good. They could have cut all that out and there would be no difference. So why is it there at all?
I watched the first episode. It’s just wonderful for people who like gratuitous violence and meaningless sex.
“I will set no wicked thing before my eyes.” Psalm 103:3
I finally allowed myself to be talked into watching the most recent episode. Perhaps if I started at the beginning, I might develop an interest. This episode, that 1 billion people supposedly tuned in to watch, was a boring waste of time. It’s no wonder the producers must use sexual imagery to attract viewers.
If strangers walked into your house and started having sex in your living room, you’d probably toss them out on their ears. But we essentially let them come into our living rooms through our televisions.
Are you implying Christians cannot make that decision on their own?
Oh lordy
I’ve been told I was hell bound since the mid 60s
Today’s hysterical intolerant progressives remind me of church ladies pointing fingers in my youth
Being PC about in particular about white girls having black babies and faggotry is the new religion
If you’re all in on those two you are a saved and devoted progressive ready to pimp the war against white privilege and the patriarchy
I swear somebody tell me I’m not fairly accurate here
You have to be fairly old to remember religious scorn over smoking cigarettes and mini skirts and booze and even dancing and God forbid Rock and Roll
Those under late 50s have no memory of that era...and era that had its good points too
Far less illegitimacy ....
Watching Game of Thrones is like your wife when you’re young and her ovaries might be tickling her and she tells you to bring home a sexy movie which could mean anything from 9 and 1/2 Weeks or Eyes Wide Shut up to Soft made for girls porn or even Rocco Siffredi wild in Budapest which all depends on the lady
Girls have needs and fancies too.
Game of Thrones is fairly time
R rated with a little Caligula at times
