Parents are helping program their children

[browsing]

Every child needs nurturing and attention. Every child needs loving discipline. But, when we, as a society, abrogate our responsibilities by not shielding our children from certain things, we assist Satan and those who work for him, in the programming of our children.

I contend that parents are assisting in the creating of monsters. Real ones. They are being imprinted with violence and gore on a level that can only be called "brainwashing." Some parents assist by giving in to the child for that certain video game that is troubling for the parent, but who surrenders because of the child's plaintive wails. Or, we allow the child to watch unmonitored television.

It's a dangerous world out there.

Why make it worse?

Yup, parents sure can help to mold monsters out of their kids.  Like with Eli's boys Hophni & Phinehas.  The Lord was not pleased at all with them or the way their father raised them.

I used to watch old westerns with my diddy (Osteen pronunciation) when I was a kid.  No wonder I am so violent (sarcasm).

The bottled pre-packaged gore makes the kids a bit less imaginative, I think.

For the first 19 years of my life until I finally graduated from high school and moved out on my own, my sorry-excuse-for-a-dad programed me not to believe in my ability to do anything right, that I was useless, that I had nothing to say that was worth hearing (He told me those three ALL the time), that love has to be earned, that a father's word cannot be trusted (the last two I learned by his actions and his lies), that a man never shows any emotion, and that a man never says "I love you".

Thanks to him I grew up not knowing how to be a good father or husband. All I had to learn from was him, and everything from him was negative. I got absolutely nothing positive until I got involved in a church at age 16 and eventually accepted Christ at age 17.
