I think he and the family should take their show and the ratings it pulls to another network and tell A&E good bye.
Yep, I am cynical too. It was pure economics. It's as simple as that.
There’s one thing to keep in mind, here ... it’s that homosexuality is a UNIQUE SIN among all the sins listed in the Bible - and the LGBT-types actually reflect that in what they do and how they react.
Here’s what God says about it ...
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
THAT would certainly be “dynamite” to LGBT-types ... :-) ...
I’m sure they are “foaming at the mouth” at this part ...

Also, in reference to what someone else said about homosexuality being another sin - just like all the sins listed in the Bible ... I’ll have to point out that it’s QUITE UNIQUE in comparison to other sins. I said the following in another posting elsewhere ...
The unique thing about what God said in Romans 1 — is that this particular sin is actually a “judgement” from God in that He has them debasing themselves in such a way. THIS (what the LGBTs promote) is actually God’s judgement upon them in that they are to do these things to themselves. They, therefore, receive god’s judgement in the “here and now” for clearly rejecting what god has made clear to the,.
SO ... while these are all sins - fornication, adultery, thieving, drunkenness, slandering, swindling - and will not be allowed into Heaven ... none of these are, in and of themselves - a condition which God imposes upon people for their rejection of what God has made clear to them,
On the other hand — the LGBT lifestyle is a specific condition and judgement of God Himself - upon these people,
AND THEREFORE, God has put upon them the absolute worst of the worst sin possible in a human being - in order to thoroughly DEBASE them to the ultimate extent in THIS LIFE, in the HERE AND NOW and not upon “Judgement Day”.
LGBT-people are a “walking advertisement” of God thoroughly debasing someone to the maximum extent possible, in a human being. They are walking around with a “neon flashing sign” — saying — “Look at me! God has not even waited until Judgement Day to judge me!”
I say:
(1) Immediately void their contract with A&E.
(2) All future episodes in the can should be sold direct-to-DVD. They should not be aired on A&E.
(3) The Robertsons retain the rights to all past episodes and product merchandise and prohibit A&E from selling it on their website.
There are You Tube videos of Robertson speaking his faith. A&E knew what he was about when they produced the show. They simply got orders from the suits at Disney to do something about the show because it was affecting the Left's stranglehold on pop culture.
Although A&E declared they were suspending the star “indefinitely, ” it was apparently only a façade for the gay community as sources say they still intend to air episodes featuring Robertson .
Sounds like something Snopes Clinton or his lovely and gracious wife would write: formless gibberish that says precisely nothing.
This “event” will pass and the Robertsons will be just fine.
There are 85 million Evangelicals in the US. Less than half — about 40 million are registered to vote.
About half of those bother to vote. Just think if the bulk of the 85 million DID vote. What would we NOT have now -- the anti-Christ and a Senate full of his minions, for one.
It's time for Christians to organize and VOTE this coming election on 11/14. THEN vote, even “louder”, in 2016.
If that happened the progressives would be delegated to the whimpering,meaningless, AND powerless insects that they should be. The “LGTB community” MINORITY would have no power and the majority of conservatives would be the ones that people would be afraid of insulting! Maybe the passion for voting -- the chance to take our country back -- is where all this energy should be applied...eh?
It seems that the biggest problem here is GLAAD. They need to be recognized for what they are - a group that promotes hate.
Phil won.
He is still suspended.
He is not returning to the film set to make new shows.
They are only following through with shows that have already been produced.
Cash trumps ideology.
This season was already in the can, anyway.
How could they have edited Phil out of every episode?
I want to see A&E crushed, a la Conan the Barbarian, personally.
Where inthis whole article is there aquote from Phil Robertson that he is coming back?
Last I saw yesterday Phil says he stands by his statements
Don’t glibly accept evertthing you read
A&E gets revenue from sale of Duck Dynasty gear
Duck Dynasty gear was not moving for Christmas
Need free advertisement
Raise hullaballoo around Phil(Phil not part of it) by staging a hit interview.
Sales skyrocket because the consumer does not know that DD gear money goes to A&E (only Duck Commander goes to Phil) and buys to support Phil and family.
Phil is forgiven and goes back to work......
The AmeriKan screamers in 10 minutes forget all about it and go back to sleep in their cave while their country falls apart with more important issues at stake.
I believe the next step is to use this as an opportunity for A&E to sit down with Christians and learn about their lives and the values they share.
Smoke screen. The new episodes starting Jan. 15th are already filmed and in the can. They’re simply not editing Phil out of those shots. They banned Phil from FUTURE filming, and for now, that still remains in place, because they can’t figure out how to extricate themselves from the mess they’ve gotten themselves in.
Folks....GLAAD is not and does not represent the entire Gay community. It is a group of radical, Obamabot, nutcases that come straight out of Hitler’s Third Reich!!! Pay them no heed....only POTUS Obama does!!!
This title is all over AOL's liberal "Huff and Puff Post" this morning.
Phil is NOT returning and has NOT returned. Next year's episodes are already filmed and in the can awaiting viewing by the public in 2014. This sleight of hand by the media is purposeful.... it's what they do.
BTW, the Left has a list of targeted eatery businesses that "are owned by far right-wingers who significantly fund conservative Super-PACS and other conservative causes such as anti-gay or anti-abortion".
The Left's five top main targets for boycotting are: Chick-fil-A, Carl's Jr., Cracker Barrel, White Castle and Waffle House.
Domino's Pizza was removed from the Left's hit list when the firm was sold by owner Tom Monaghan and went public under the new ownership.
Don't jump to conclusions on various businesses in view of the heat of the moment and the leftist media's deliberate misdirection.
