What do you mean when you say we are all brain washed?

I mean we have had our opinions and thought patterns formed against our will and without our knowledge, much less our consent.

The Media

Did you know that in Austria, when Nazi Germany invaded, Hitler's army hung loud speakers from every corner and blasted pro-Hitler messages day and night. They knew if they kept repeating something in different ways long enough, eventually the people would come to believe it.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” Proverbs 23:7

We Americans (and Europeans) have carried this to a new height. Now we not only have the conqueror's message blasted right into our homes, we PAY thousands of dollars for it to enter in large screen, high definition format. No, this isn't some Obama-hating speech. I don't think any one president could affect this issue one way or another.

Let me approach it this way: If a picture is worth a thousand words, and a half hour sitcom has ten thousand pictures, and half of those pictures show women as powerful business women and anyone being domestic is either a man or stupid or both, how many "words" are there telling you that smart women work outside the home and don't do “that domestic thing?” When was the last time you saw a TV show where dad was a hard working, intelligent man, mom cared for her family more than anything else and showed it by actually being with her family, and the children were happy, home centered people (You know, a "Traditional Family")? Leave it to Beaver? Father Knows Best? It certainly wasn't “Married with Children,” “Full House,” “Growing Pains,” “Three's Company,” “Friends,” etc. Oh, I know, for the most part the parents are shown loving their children and each other, except for that “Married with Children” one. In fact that show is a good example of what I am talking about. This is the closest you will come to a traditional family structure and NO ONE would want to be like them. "Traditional" is bad by association.

Let's start with the men. The Bible says:

Ephesians 5:25-“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;… 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.”

Colossians 3:19-“Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”

1 Timothy 5:8-“But if any provide not for HIS own, and specially for those of HIS own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

Ephesians 6:4-“And, ye fathers, provoke (frustrate) not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture (culture) and admonition (education) of the Lord.”

When was the last time you saw a man on TV that fulfilled these scriptures? I have to be honest, it has been several years since I have really watched main stream TV so you will have to correct me if things have changed for the better. Do the men on TV love their own wives so much that they would die for them? Love them more than their own bodies? Provide for their own families, not just money but for their spiritual and emotional needs too? How many of them bring their children up themselves much less in the culture and education of the Lord? In fact, the men on TV when I was growing up and into my adulthood were just about universally buffoons, too stupid and powerless to do anything except what their wives told them to. Do you really think it is an accident that all men on TV are portrayed this way? No. It is very intentional.

Genesis 1:18 “And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. … 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”

1 Peter 3:1-“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;”

1 Peter 3:22 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.”

Colossians 3:18- “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.”

Ephesians 5:22- “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”

Titus 2:3 “The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”

What was that noise? Oh, just Hollywood fainting.

When was the last woman you have seen that fit this description? Here is the crux of the problem. Between “Leave it to Beaver” and today, Hollywood has been conquered by the radical feminist left. These are women and men that believe that all humans are identical (except for a few strategically placed lumps and bumps of course.) They honestly believe that women were little more than slaves in the past until the feminists "gloriously brought us out of bondage." The problem is that we were not. Women and men worked together towards family goals in the past. The average man knew very well his success depended on his wife's help. They were partners. Yes, there were some jerks that looked at women as stupid just because they were women, but that hasn' changed any. Those jerks are still around. God clearly teaches us in His word that the men are the movers and shakers and the women are the managers and the holder-togetherers (like my new word I just invented?)

A survey asked the general public if they were conservative, moderate, or liberal. The numbers were divided about equally. Then the surveyors asked those that work in the media (producers, directors, actors, reporters, editors, makeup artists, singers, writers, etc.) which they were. 80% said they were liberal or ultra liberal. When asked what the numbers of the general population would be they said the same as the media. These people are out of touch with reality. What is worse, most said they are in the Media Business to change the world. Now how would a person in the media change the world? Remember Austria? You change the world through the media by constantly putting your message in front of people, worded a little differently each time until they just accept it as the truth.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Psa 14:1

How many stupid men have you seen in your life? Remember to count the ones you sit down and watch for two to four hours every night. I bet the stupidest ones were on the boob tube. How about women? Whiney? Yep. Domestic? Not on your life. Feeling worthless at home? Everyone of them…on TV. I have yet to meet one that truly feels that way in real life. The attitudes portrayed on TV do not portray reality. They do portray what the feminists/evolutionists want reality to be.

Are children on TV blessings or burdens? I remember one episode of a popular show where the woman found herself pregnant. She was shocked and concerned about how her hubby would take it. Her friend told her she could just get an abortion and not worry about it. The woman decided she wouldn’t do that, but the whole tone of the discussion was that abortion is a viable option, just not the one for this woman. Many such discussions over the course of several years desensitizes us to the issue and makes us automatically think abortion is a viable option.

Remember when Theo on the Cosby Show told his dad he should just love him for who he is and not push him to get better grades? I think we all expected Cliff to say Theo was right and he was sorry. The reason the scene was so memorable was because he was the only TV parent I can remember that had the courage to tell his child "You don't do good because you are lazy" Remember "I brought you into this world and I can take you out"? All other shows had the children running things and coming up with the right answers while the parents simpered and apologized or at best used modern psychology and "What is right for one person isn't always right for others." Gee, if this is how we should solve every problem, how did the human race survive before they showed us? (The sad thing is that the Cosby show reversed this wonderful scene towards the end of its run. They had Theo diagnosed with Dyslexia so it wasn't his fault after all and Cliff should have done what Theo said, accept him just like he was.)

Do you remember when homosexuality entered the TV world? I do. Roseanne introduced a character and got us emotionally attached to her then had her "discover" she was gay. (She later "discovered" she was bi.) Anyone remember Ellen? Same thing. This was blatant, bald faced propaganda to get us desensitized to having gay people around and accepting it for normal. Now nearly every show and movie has at least one gay caracture. You don' give a second thought to it do you? Never mind Paul called it a stench in God's nostrils.

“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28

Actually all issues concerning a traditional family have been handled this way. It started with the school being right any time the child had a problem and the parents being prejudicial or just stupid.

Then all the moms had identity crisis and had to go to work so they would feel better.

Then there was divorce.

One by one Hollywood has attacked traditional moral issues and taught us to accept their way as right.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:”

1Corinthians 15:33 “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”

When you watch TV you are thinking what is on the TV, what the people in the media want you to be thinking. Think that way long enough and you will come to believe it.

Remember, men are stupid, women rule the roost, children are burdensome little pests that have all the answers, and every problem can be solved in half an hour with pop scycology and relativistic values.
