Trinity Broadcasting Network -- The Next Generation in Family Programming
eMediaWire ^ | July 16, 2004 | wdc

Posted on 07/16/2004 9:46:05 PM PDT by Susan Zahn

With the success of "The Passion of the Christ" still reverberating throughout Hollywood while viewers increasingly tune into digital cable as an alternative, it's not surprising that TBN gains favor among new viewers as the family-friendly network.

I am not much on their "style" or "taste", if you can call it that. But they do provide a medium for others to use to get their stuff out, so I guess thats good. But some folks need accountability in places of leadership.

I don't know if I would want a religious non-profit program that funded my living in a 5 million dollar beachside mansion.

"The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice."

This is a strange point of view in my opinion. I don't think Jesus would want to be represented by con artists or liars.

Well, I had some personal experience with them and TBN when I was in college. All I can say is BLECH!

For the most part TBN is a vast wasteland. But there are a few decent preachers that buy time on the network. Additionally they started something called JCTV that is directed to young people. Its pretty good. I sometimes have it on for hours in my house.

.

Phi 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Once in a while such things are even on TBN.

"whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached"

That Scripture is only true if it is truly Christ that's being preached.

The motives of heretics are immaterial. Heretics preach a false Christ.

TBN is wall-to-wall with religious kooks.

TBN is usually just televangelists. Its good to know they are adding better programming.

Don't think for a minute that the televangelists are going anywhere anytime soon because while TBN may include "better programming" (a highly subjective term), it will only be as a front for the televangelists to make more pleas for money in their "grab-a-thons."

I modeled my home interior decor after Paul and Jan's TV set. I love it.

And not only did you pay for your new furniture, you probably paid for theirs as well (as did too many others).

They have this chapel at their facility in Fontana that looks like the Cystine chapel on acid. In the chapel is a chest where they stuff all the prayer requests that are sent to them that don't contain money. The only ones they read and have on the set with them are the ones that come with a nice check. It makes me ill.

Is Robert Tilton still doing his thing on late night cable?? Mostly BET for a while... strange for a white guy.

Tilton had to go to BET because he, like John Kerry speaking at the NAACP, can't get the honkies and crackers to listen to them.

The set of their show is gaudier and more filagreed and gold-leafed than the highest high baroque church in Vienna.

Or burlesque for that matter.

The only kooks are the people who send them money.

Paul and Jan Crouch are as corrupt as they come. Sorry, but I can't stomach TBN.

Right about that one. I give money only to my local church. I least I can vote on where it will be spent.

I do not contribute. It would be kind of cool if we could start a conservative broadcasting network like that, heh!

For several years TBN used to be televangelists, but they have been adding more programming. Best time to watch them is on the weekends, particularly Friday and Saturday evenings.

Phil 1:18 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, (NIV)

Paul's point was that God's Word is going to be preached in spite of people and their individual motives.

Paul did not, however, say that we should reward those people who preach Christ out of selfishness, hate or greed by supporting their so-called "ministries."

The problem with the Crouches is they don't preach the Gospel. Anyone who preaces faith plus works to get into heaven is a fake.

Looks like (T)he (B)east (N)etwork is branching out.

Apparently you can fool some of the people all of the time.
