We did away with TV 25 years ago and have never looked back. Once the world lost its grip on us through the news and TV shows, we learned to be free in Christ, and content within ourselves through Him.
Working in the garden or hiking and enjoying God's beautiful Creation, praising God with Christian music, or reading His word instead.
All our children made the choice to serve and love Jesus when they grew up. Mind you, those who married did choose to have a TV back in their family life.
Not sure how they feel not having TV for much of their youth, they never complained about not having a TV when they were kids, even though when they were very young we still had one. We moved to a 15 acre block and did away with the TV then, the kids used to play outside, on the block, most of the time, so they did not miss TV much at all.
