Dear JYs, After a long time that I am writing to this list. It’s nice to see so many beautiful mails whenever I’m opening my mailbox. There were a lot of discussions on different subjects and they were all good. Last week I was reading the editorial in the Jan 20th 2002 issue of Sunday Shalom, the weekly news paper from Shalom Trust. (For those who does not know about Shalom, a few lines Shalom Times is one of the beautiful and excellent Catholic/Charismatic malayalam magazines I have ever seen. Other Shalom publications are Shalom Tidings - English and Sunday Shalom. I think Mathew can talk more about Shalom. The web site is www.shalomprayer.org). It was mainly about newspaper publications and how they are misleading the youth. The editor was pointing to a Malayalam newspaper that was started by Catholic Church and now is a public limited company. The editorial is about a publication from this Newspaper group and it’s a Cinema magazine! I remember this magazine has started some 8 years back when I was in 10 std and now it’s the front-runner in malayalam cinema magazines. It reached in this position only by selling half-naked photos of film artists. The sad thing about this newspaper is that about 90 % of the director board members are Catholics -most of them are priests also. I request all of you to read that editorial and think about what we can do against this. Another point I would like to add. Most of the magazines are devil’s work (I’m not forgetting science and technical magazines and this mail is not about them) and they are spreading evil like anything. There are good magazines also (like Shalom). Here in Delhi I have seen a number of catholic friends who does not even heard about catholic magazines. Friends, good catholic magazines will help us to be with God…I’m saying this from my own experiences. I feel it’s our responsibility to introduce catholic magazines and websites to our friends So think and we may have a discussion on this topic.
Thanks in the name of Jesus Sajith Antony Gurgaon (Delhi) ________________________________________________________________________ **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
