| Saw a Facebook post where a pastor said he was looking forward to binge watching a show on Net Flix. For some reason this bothered me. |

| Should Christians?If it's okay for a Christian, I'm not sure why it would bother you if a pastor did it. |

| I can't understand ANYONE binge watching TV. Of course I am a different duck since our TV is on less than 2-3 hours a year. LOLBut truthfully I see no problem with anyone 'taking a break and using TV as their vacation or stress free break.'Funny ain't it? Those 1 hour Saturday morning Cowboy movies with old Roy and Gene were a sin.Then SAturday morning TV CArtoons were a sin. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| Think a moment about the question: Should pastors binge watch TV?Well, that depends on what you mean by binge. If TV is bad in a heavy dose, then it's probably bad in small doses, too. And I'm pretty sure that many would claim that their own TV habits are quite reasonable...but anyone who does more than that is unbalanced.We don't have a TV (just watch the internet), but I prefer binge watching for a few reasons:1) I do not become hostage to a certain day/hour that my show is on. Some years ago, I got in the habit of watching House M.D. Sure enough, we had some choir practices called on my viewing night. After I'd missed a few episodes, it didn't matter very much to me...but before I got to that point, I was sweating bullets, wanting to get out of practice in time, etc. I prefer to not have be in bondage to a TV show's schedule. 2) Binge watching often gives one a very unique (but valid) view of a series. I never saw Breaking Bad on TV. But when it went off the air and was on Netflix (or whatever it was on), I had heard so many good things about it (in terms of drama, etc.) that I decided to watch it. Since I was on summer vacation, I had some time to do that. Now, I'm not going to act like it was the best material to watch, but IN MY OPINION it was raw without being flagrant. AND, to my surprise, I was FOR the main character, while virtually everyone who viewed the series seemed to pretty much hate him. I came to that conclusion, I believe, because I binge watched it rather than watched an episode a week. That way, I didn't lose track of his motivations...and they weren't swallowed up in his rotten acts. I saw a man that life had sorely mistreated; a man humiliated by his students, seemingly unable to escape the mediocrity that held him down. But then he finds a way to express his genius...and to change his life. Further, in every single instance that I can think of, he resorted the worst actions only because he had little choice. But that's me. |

| If you're watching Tom Sterbens, it IS a sin. Sorry, you may be going to hell if you don't get things right. I didn't say I was watching Aaron Scott videos!!!Besides - no one could binge watch those - they are better than Sominex - asleep in 10 minutes - just like all the folks in your sanctuary |

| What's the difference between eight hours watching a decent television program and eight hours sitting on the boat or playing golf or going for a drive? If someone has been faithful to his/her ministry and faithful to his/her devotions to God, who are you to criticize how they spend the time left over? |
