What movies and TV shows would you recommend avoiding?
I want to try and bring God into every aspect of my life, and for me, part of that would be adjusting the content i consume to be things that honour God. I've had so many great recommendations from fellow Christians of things to watch, but I'd also like to know what to stay away from. Let me know anything you'd recommend :giggle:

I think it depends on personal conviction. There are shows that I used to watch in the past that I can't watch now because I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach with them. I feel convicted that it's not good for my spirit and I need to turn it off. But someone else may not feel the same way about that same show.

However, if something obviously doesn't honor God because the language is so vulgar, it's promoting worldly beliefs, it's clearly demonic, etc then that's a pretty safe bet to stop watching it.

You can always ask God if a certain show is right for you or not. He will let you know ;)

First, howdy and welcome to the forum.

If you want guidelines and principles, that is easy. If it propounds things that are wrong, don't watch it.

If you want a list... That's a bit more problematic. There are a LOT of shows these days. Lots and lots and lots and lots.

On the matter of propounding things that are wrong: I don't watch TV shows but I do listen to a lot of stand-up comedy on YouTube. I run into this a LOT. Many comedians think "Oh I'm moderately famous, so now I need to use this platform to push a message!" Like... SO MANY comedians do this now. When they start talking about transphobic, homophobic, making fun of Christians, etc. it's time to turn it off.

I recommend you avoid Gotham (The Batman series), it is very gory, graphic, and morose. It shows some of most awful things I have ever seen in terms of mutilation and depravity.

I also recommend you stay away from Ridley Scott's Alien films and their sequels, because the Xenomorph is designed by an Occultist named H.R. Giger who knew Alister Crowley, a major Occultist. The Xenomorph was designed for a ancient witchcraft book that has pentagrams and Jesus being torn to pieces.

Oh goodness, I had no idea the Alien films had connections to Alister Crowley. Though I suppose it makes sense now I think about it, his influence is very prevalent in the movie industry. Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it :giggle:

Actually, Crowley had no affiliation with the Alien film franchise.

H.R Giger did. The alien creature was derived from his artwork.


Whereas Aliester Crowley,pronounced like holy,per his insistence, claimed he had opened a portal between the worlds during a ritual he performed in his NY apartment.
The aliens and others he claimed then had access to this plane are the big eyed grey aliens we see in UFO reporting.

Crowley was actually an agent with British intelligence.

Hello Kitty,

I always liked the vintage TV series that had some moral to teach.
Even as a child, I enjoyed the old 1950s cartoons and later TV Land comedies. It seems like TV and movies kept pushing the envelope until I gave up looking at the modern options.
I have some CDs, but we all have different preferences for entertainment. If you listen your favorite category it might narrow down the responses to help you out.

I like some Westerns and Action movies because I'm a guy. Not to say ladies don't like those too. Mom liked Gunsmoke.
I'm not from the Rifleman era, but I still enjoy the stories. Lucas Mccane always taught his boy lessons after defeating the bad guys.
