And I believe that's one of the main reasons why we don't have a
spiritual generation growing up that values God more than everything
else in this world. I don't believe merely by getting rid of television
you get rid of the world. You can get rid of it and still have the
worldly people long before television was invented, thoroughly worldly
people.

So I'm not saying the solution is to get rid of television. There may be
some good things you can get from it. But all I say is, remember that
there is a potential source of danger there.

It's not just television. It can be your computer with the internet
connection. So the solution is not to get rid of it because it has some
advantages.

But remember that that is a source of danger. Don't play the fool with
it. It's like, it's like a plug point.

Electricity is very useful, but I don't go putting metal things in.
