Old house Quote by Pope Michael
““And so we have gone back over the television we recall watching before we gave it up entirely and made a list of those series that never crossed the line into immorality. The list is in the empty box above. Actually that is an exaggeration, but the list is rather short. Antiques Roadshow has never crossed the line in the episodes I watched. Also Extreme Homes never crossed the line. As I recall This Old House didn't. Although I was an avid viewer of Jeopardy it did cross the line by spreading false propaganda. True, I would sit there and correct them, but one cannot recommend a program that habitually teaches error. Our minds are created for truth and we should only allow the truth to enter our minds.””
