But the so-called "canonical" :lol: "jurisdictions" in "World Orthodoxy" don't care about the canons. Wonder where they've gotten off calling themself's canonical then?

TV bad. Yankees worse. :-P They lost last night I hear. Of course they have not lost back to back games at home since 1920 either, so who knows about tonight.

But back on topic, yes, TV is bad if theatre is bad and I think we all agree with the Rudder that mimes are bad! :-D

The priests must prompt their parish members to "make a decision to throw out the TV or at least to get rid of it."

There seemed to be a number of problems with the translation, but I'm curious if by this (the "throwing out," as differentiated from getting rid of it) it is meant that this bishop is instructing some to destroy their TV's? Just curious, if anyone knows.

I think he just means throw it away. Let the garbage man collect it and destroy it in his truck. :-D

Wow everyone sure gets fired up around here. I LIKE IT!!! All this talk of tv and religion has prompted me to pack away our little dear in the closet for the upcoming fast. My husband thinks I am nuts but we don't have cable anyway. All we watch is the occasional plastic surgery nightmare serbian music videos (satellite), serbian news, oh yea and BARNEY, THE WIGGLES, ELMO and anything else we have on VHS or DVD 10000 times per day.

I AM KIND OF LOOKING FORWARD TO 40 DAYS WITHOUT TV. WHO KNOWS MAYBE I'LL :P NEVER :P BRING IT BACK. PRAY FOR US.

Господе Исусе Христа, Синe Божји, Помилуј ме грешну!
