Avodah/Areivim
the saying goes, that what comes in, must eventually come or go-out. 
we all take in things through our bodies, be it food (physically (healthy or 
not??) 
and spiritual foods, (eg torah, or sfarim chitzonius/negative one's) like 
violent video games (which the supreme court just allowed children as 
allowable constitutionally.  
My question is, if we take things in through our ears (loshon hora, etc) it must 
go out somewhere, 
and it usually does, either through our eyes (viewing someone/some thing/some 
family) in a nega-
tive light, or 
if we view something through our eyes (pritzut) then it also has sspiritual 
manifestations
eg, (we dont' view our wives as attractively as we could, or resent our children 
as being in the way
of us being able to run away someone elses' wive/s.

It is therefore that I ask Areivim 1. do people who do not allow t.v., 
newspapers, etc, 
into their homes, as have more "shalom bayis" and emunas hashem, and personal 
happiness and fullfillment in thier lives as ovdei Hashem (HKBHu)?? and for 
Avodah: 
do things that were never really clarified in the "alte heim" as being real (eg 
whistlling
as attracting sheidim/tarot cards and whichcraft as being a "relic" but still 
halachically
forbidden to us, etc,. as still being real forces in the world today.
