Television Is Immoral
TuoH<1iiy, November 13, MOfNTAIN HKRAI.O-PaRe 3
Duiing the early years of
television, one could watch
almost any program presented
and know that It was basically a
moral program. One that the
entire family could watch
together. At the worst was an
occassional suggestive line or
scene.
However, In recent years,
apparently most i/f the writers,
producers, directors, and actors
su’e seeing Just how much filth
they can get by with. It has
gotten to the point that one
cannot turn the television or
without being bombarded with
sex. violence, perverted sex,
Imv jral life styles, nudity and
In general the “Anything goes
and everything Is alright”
concept of life.
Today’s generation may call It
what they will but God’s word
says It Is Immoral, that It Is
wrong and most Importantly
that It Is a sin agalnt God. It was
sin during Biblical Times and It
Is sin today.
Just because some people
accept It does not make It right.
I place the blame for television
programming being accepted as
It Is-falllng on everyone’s
shoulders who has never or are
not now making a stand against
It.
Now Is the time for all con
cerned individuals, churches,
schools, and civic organizaUons
to take a stand. Let’s stop the
obscenity now before our
children think this Is the way life
should be lived.

Churches Shoiddnh Pay Tax
’To The Editors;
I would like to say I am very
happy to be living back In Kings
Mountain for Its my home town.
But I have something that Is
really bothering me. Our
Country was founded because
people wanted the freedom to
worship God. And it was also
founded that the Church -and
State were a separate thing.
'The United States of America
Government Is trying to take
that freedom from us. We pay
our taxes from our pay checks ,
we pay one tenth of pay to the
Church of our choice and what
we have left Is suppose to be
ours to do as we llke.If we want
to pay for a T.V. Christian
Program to be on the air or build
a Christian School I believe that
It Is our right. I do not un
derstand why the Church has to
pay taxes on Its property for the
Church Is the people and the
people have already pedd taxes.
The Bible says resist the Devil
and he will nee from us.
CJiUdren “of God , we-better get
busy and pray and resist the
devil or we will not be able to
preach, pray, or sing anywhere
in this world.

WHEN I MUST
LEAVE YOU
When I must leave you
for a little while-
Please do not grieve
and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
through the years.
But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
And for my sake
and in my name
Live on and do
All things the same.
Feed not your loneliness
oh empty days.
But fUl each waking hour >
In useful ways.
~ Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I In turn will comfort you
and hold you near;
And never, never
be afraid to die,
. For I am waiting for you In the
sky! -
