define "these things"

Plastic Preachers.

Fundamentalist Freaks.

Money-grubbing hypocrites.

Godawful ugly, tacky, no-taste trailer-trash in mansions.

Want more?

Yes, I do.

Now put people's names next to your definitions that represent who you are describing.

Some of this is bringing back some memories of when I've watched it; The reference to Rock 'N' Roll, they had a lot of that on there, including some Rocker who became Born Again. But when one is looking at what type of religions TBN is rooted too, I believe it is more Pentecostal , rather than saying Fundamental i.e. a Baptist type of slant. Ref:

. That is why at

http://www.tbn.org

, they have the Dove up there in their coat of arms and I think, occassionally they would have "speaking in tongues" sorts of things on their set which might make one think of the ol' Tent Revival sorts of meetings except for the glossy furniture and carpeting. (note: I was trying to get the links to show up so one could click them, but do it manually, if you need further proof.)

No need. Your contempt for the #1 Christian ministry in the world, responsible for God's Word getting out to more people around the world than any other ministry in history is quite evident.

More Evangelists and Christian teachers are broadcast from TBN and reach a larger audience than any other.

I don't care how "plastic" Paul and Jan might look, they have accomplished a great work for the Lord.

Maybe you should look past your shallow superficial judgments of others.
