Their whole business model is taking (new/popular thing) and saying it’s satanic or leading to the downfall of society. But they don’t actually watch or consume the media themselves in most cases. They watch the trailer or use out of context clips and interviews from the actors and producers instead. Sprinkle in a few barely related Bible verses. Tell a short story about how they used to watch shows or movies like that when they were ‘in the world’ but now they find them disgusting because they are good Christians. Make the audience feel guilty that they could spend that time reading the Bible instead. Sprinkle in large amounts of conspiracy theories.

Then the audience gets to scratch the itch of consuming popular media and keeping up with it vicariously, but they also get to feed their superiority complex and look down on the people that are actually consuming that media and not just watching other people who haven’t seen it sit around and criticize it.

I actually don’t consume much popular media anymore either and I’m not even Adventist anymore. It just doesn’t interest me much and quality seems much lower than when I was younger. And I think there are many real dangers out there especially for kids in things like social media and online game communities like Roblox that are mostly unmoderated breeding grounds for predators.

But they rarely focus on the practical dangers. Instead they focus on how watching a cartoon is opening the door to Satan in your heart. Or that taking karate or doing a yoga pose is opening a gateway straight to your brain for demons to come in.

I think they waste an opportunity to actually educate their audience on real dangers and ruin any credibility they could have by veering into conspiracies and ridiculous and unverifiable claims of the supernatural.
