I have also read on FR that the Robertsons have complained that A&E “bleeps” words to make it seem like they are cursing when they are not. Other complaints were editing out as much Christian content as possible. Whether one believes the claims depends upon whether you think the left is honest. I tend to give credence to the Robertsons complaints based on FReeper opinion.
What you see is what you get. I have seen nothing phony about the Robertsons.
Of course, like all “reality” shows, the scripts are written and staged. But, their hearts are true. The love they show one another is also true.
Phil has served God in many ways. None of us is perfect, but he stands head and shoulders above the “self righteous” who claim their perversions honor God, or refuse to believe there is one true God.
Just call me a redneck, too, or a California Okie, as I call myself.
