I should have added in my previous answer to this question that cable providers also offer hard-core PPV and stations. So, what are you gonna do for tv? Buy a big old antenna and hope you can get TBN to come in? I really don't think you would do any good by boycotting the providers. But, hey, whatever floats your boat.

That idea is fine. but consider the opposite as well. What if Non-Chrisitans boycotted those companies because they carried religious programming? What you're advocating is censorship and to allow censorship by ONE group is to infer that censorship is alowed by ALL groups. Like yo already noted, YOU, as the individual viewer have the option of watching or NOT watching a particular program. Why not just leave it at that and stop trying to SHOVE your OWN personal views down other folks throats?

You have to pay extra for it so what does that have to do with Christians? We can't control ourselves and your going to save us from ourselves?Thanks,but I have the Holy Spirit to do that for me.In the mean time,First Amendment.

You do have that right, but I'm willing to bet that more subscriptions come from people who DON'T have a problem with the fact that pornography is offered than do, and that your boycott will have little effect. Why not just not watch the channels and mind your own business?

Wow - you are seriously one of the stupidest people on Yahoo! Answers. I don't even have anything to say about this.

What's the purpose of your boycott? It seems like you're just doing without something because the conveyance that brings the thing you like into your house could (hypothetically) also bring in things you do not wish to consume. That would also cover mail, the internet, newspapers.Hey, have fun with this boycott thing. I would hope that not everybody would be that...narrowly focused...but hey, who knows maybe you'll succeed and I'll never be able to find porn on TV, the internet or in my mailbox ever again.

You are a consumer and have the freedom to purchase whatever services you want. I wonder something. Why do the adult channels and adult web sites make so much money when the vast majority of Americans are Christians? Surely the holy people wouldn't be customers for the debauchery. Oh wait, yes they are.

You make a great statement and point about this. I agree with you in many ways, However, if we were to do this one, then all other sinful things would and could be boycotted from websites to magazines, which will never end in America and can escalate sinful ways even more. And it comes down to choice. Every person has the "freewill" first to choose God's path, and if they do not, they choose to take these sinful directions in the first place. In our reality of this world, it is up to each of us to make the right choices because these sinful things will always remain in some shape or form. evil lurks everywhere.. Boycotting everything will not solve the problem. Having God in our lives does. Maybe a direction of God and more channels with God offered would be a first step. god knows those who watch porn and do the sinful ways. It is up to us to plant the seed as christians and spread the gospel. I think that we would be more effective in that then boycotting and wasting that time doing that which will escalate more evil. Lets fight for more Godly clean shows to overrule porn. Thanks for sharing- God Bless
