Tv

Has any one ever watched a tv show and then suddenly a G rated movie turns out to be full of kissing and wrong doings? Is is it your fault for watching it? Is it considered a sin to look at these things that just popped up? Take Harry Potter for instance, great story behind but in some movies they seem so unholy to even watch with there heads cut off and all that stuff... Should I be accoutable for watching harry potter?
Also, when you commit a sin and you tell it to abouna in a way that doesn't make seem as bad... is that sin forigven?
P.S: Harry Potter Number One was rated F-Family

who said priests dont watch tv... they do, they are normal people.
U kno its so funny u said that cuz b4 lyk 3yrs ago we went to the zoo with Aboona Dawood and he was eating chocolate chip cookies and I screamed saying OMG aboonas r allowed 2 eat chocolate chip cookies!? And another time my friend told me aboona wore pajamas and I was lyk omg, they're normal! I didn't mean it just happened. WWHOOO, okie sorry that just popped out of nowhere.
Back to topic... 1) I don't think ur held accountable on something u saw and didn't mean to see or it was an accident, there's nothing wrong there. 2) We're all old enough to know right from wrong. And u kno ur heart very very well, so if u watch harry potter and by the end of the week ur running around with a black magic book, it's best u refrain from seeing such things, but if u just watch it for the sake of entertainment, there's nothing wrong there...and to be honest with u I've seen more gruesome things on CNN news, lolx...
3) And telling aboona ur sin, whether u make it sound bad or good, does not change the fact that it's a sin. There are no good sins or bad sins. Look at it this way, if we're all sick in a hospital and I have aids while u have cancer...can either one of us say my disease is better than yours or even try to make it sound good? No way! Think of it that way, we're all sick with the sin-disease, whether u kill someone or lie, a sin is a sin no matter which way u spin it....
GOD BLESS ALL! :-*
i dont think that abouna will see it as a good or bad sin as sylvia said....because such a thing doesnt exist....lol....u and dieases sylvia...lol....yea at the end of ur confession abouna still sees it as a sin and the thought of you confessing that sin and you haven repented for it...thats what counts...so it is forgiven....
Great show!...lol

i know this is out of topic but one time on Easter Monday our preists were on bikes and scooters n playing football. Amba David is always playing sports. Priests n bishops r human beings. lets keep that in mind. back to opic ;D
so i guess its various lolx!
meaning you arent responsible but u know better than to keep watching it if theres stuff in there.
cuz i dont like thos pics in the movies ???
