"We believe in our vision for a theme park where children and parents can come to have fun together." -- Walt Disney Today, the Disney Corporation is a huge mixture of things. They still produce some of the good clean family fun that Walt Disney was famous for. They put out Winnie the Pooh videos, which are some of the most wholesome cartoons around. They also sponsor some real trash that diverges significantly from the family values that grew the corporation in the first place. In fact, their brazen embracing of homosexual sin in some instances has caused the Southern Baptist Convention and the General Council of the Assemblies of God to declare a boycott against Disney. This isn't a hard, binding rule, but a recommendation not to do business with Disney until their business practices change. This boycott was debated heavily on RangerNet once before, and several different positions were shared. Let your own conscience be your guide. As for me and my family, we will not legalistically boycott Disney and deny what good comes from them, but we will not support their less honorable enterprises. You see, Disney is not alone in this respect. It would be hypocritical to hold Disney to a different standard than Fox, ABC, NBC, and any other entertainment provider. The way I see things, some of the others make Disney look good by comparison. No, I'll evaluate the portions and the content of each company's offering, and prayerfully consider what God wants me to do, rather than blindly following the current popular boycotts declared by men. Would I take my family to Disneyland or Disney World? Yes. Would I watch a movie from Disney's Touchstone Pictures? Probably not. Let he who watches no TV with off-color jokes, violence, or references to sexual immorality cast the first stone at Disney. In the mean time, I suspect that many people need to work on removing the telephone poles from their own eyes... ___ Michael Paul Johnson aka Soaring Golden Eagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://eBible.org/mpj Rocky Mountain Outpost 207 New Creation Church Jesus Christ is Lord!
