Reality Television

I do not watch reality television. For some reason it embarrasses me to see people humiliating themselves on national tv. This morning I was sewing and The View was playing in the background. They were talking about the show I'm a Celebrity; Get Me Out of Here and some guy and his wife wanted to leave after the first day because they thought they were too big to stay with all the B list people on the show. I don't know who these people are, but the guy was baptized by immersion by the Baldwin brother who is also on the show. They showed video footage of the baptism and then the ladies of The View discussed the event. What ignorance!!! Joy (who is Catholic) seemed to not even know that immersion baptism existed. She stated that at the church when a person is baptized, they are sprinkled not immersed. Of course, Sherri and Elizabeth tried to correct her, but were unable to get the point across. These women all talk at once trying to make sure their opinion gets across disregarding others' opinions and many times the truth.
I have often wondered why most television shows that have a Christian family will make them Catholic. I know I live in the Bible Belt and live a relatively sheltered life, but I thought of Jimmy's sermon series on the various World Views from earlier this year. The media skews Christianity into an unrecognizable belief system that includes bizarre stories like the Duggars with eighteen children, cultlike behavior that the Christ followers I know would avoid at all cost.
We should not expect the media to be a witness for us. Our job is to be a witness to those around us and to let the talk show hostesses reveal their lack of connection with the world they pretend they know so well.
I'm not sure what tht impact of the baptism by immersion will have on the viewers of the reality show, but I don't think it could be bad unless the guy is a poor witness for Jesus. Since he publicized his salvation on television, I pray that he will not embarrass God by living out his life in a shameful manner.
