I've often wondered what might be considered okay and not okay to watch as a
Baha'i as far as TV and movies go. There is a lot of sex and violence in TV
and movies. I have two parents with quite opposing views of what is okay
and what isn't. One is very conservative and doesn't like me going to M
rated movies (the majority of movies that come out are this rating or
above). I have doubts whether this attitude is right, but maybe I'm in the
wrong. Applying the statement about music in the Aqdas to TV and movies
would seem to indicate a lot of TV and movies aren't okay for Baha'is to
watch. Is it okay to watch shows where the characters have poor morals, and
often cheat in relationships? Is it okay to watch the Jerry Springer show?
What guidance do the Writings have on this?
Regards,
David
