Trinity Broadcasting Network -- The Next Generation in Family Programming

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 flip by this channel at least once a day and I never stay with it. It seems to be an endless parade of overly made-up women, perfumed princes with $100 silly hair-doos, all yelling at me, gesticulating wildly and dancing around the stage. On top of this they are always on a set seemingly designed by some drama-queen vamp undertaker. It's just pitiful. Really makes me want to seek Jesus.

[A2J]

It would be kind of cool if we could start a conservative broadcasting network like that, heh!

That's fine and dandy but don't dare hire that set decorator! TBN turns off far more people than those who watch it.

"We need to buy some stations and start a conservative broadcasting channel.."

Rush and Sean have already done that. We just need to keep spreading the word. And we don't need donations to do that.

[A2J]

It makes me ill.

Then send them a check and they'll pray for you. :)

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

Amen! You just nailed it!

[ShandaLear]

Send the check to me and I'll pray for myself. LOL!

That set director is being sent back to North Korea where he can pamper their dictator.

[GeronL]

I think conservatives can have more than one or two shows or the radio, television would be nice. We can do it.

The Crouches and their ilk make me ill, but I like this guy:

[blackbart.223]

"I think conservatives can have more than one or two shows or the radio, television would be nice. We can do it."

Sounds good to me.

[Notwithstanding]

THe Good Book tells us that "faith without works is dead"

[GeronL]

""Brothers and sisters, let us have a moment to talk about the threat John Kerry brings to our nation. Yes, he is the very pawn of Satan. We must stand together and defeat him with all our resources! We must stand together and support this network. So please send us contributions, at the $25 level we have this handy totebag, at the $50 level we have a subscription to Limbaugh's newsletter and website and at the $500 level you can get this leather-bound, gilded edged 6-volume edition of the Encyclopedia of Conservatism.

So help keep us on the air, and pray for America!

I wanna get my hair done like Benny Hinn.

[cyborg]

The grandmaster of all shysters- I mean televised preachers ;-)

[shellylet]

Charles Stanley is solid gold! He is truly one of the good ones!

[uglybiker]

I've always wondered how much hairspray it takes to make his hair do that.

[cyborg]

He's my favorite too.

[Jorge]

Yeah, but did Jan Crouch ever scrape off the 9 inches of makeup and remove the purple wig and stop blubbering endlessly about "little baby jesus?" Televangelist scam artists and grifters for Jesus.

Do you always judge people by the way they look?
Perhaps Jesus will have more objective standards when judging you.

[cyborg]

His hair stood on end when someone accused him of something anti-semitic. I don't see how that can be except maybe someone learned he's Palestinian. He may be a false teacher of christian doctrine but not an anti-semite.

[Jorge]

Charles Stanley is probably one of the best Bible teachers on the air today.
