Did you notice how that show never mentioned the name of the Lord?

I even watched an episode where they specifically changed Scripture to leave out the name of Jesus in their citation.

I couldn't bear to watch it, save to remind myself how blessed I am to not buy into it's mysticism.

I remember one episode where a young boy was going to shoot his abusive father. The angel couldn't intervene because that would "violate the boys free will".

However, later when the father went to hit the child, the angel stepped in and intervened. Free will for one but not another? lol

Although, I suppose a show titled "Called by the Holy Spirit" wouldn't sell too well with the masses? Not "touchy-feely" enough.

FWIW, my wife was at a women's conference and the producer of the show (I believe a Jewish convert to Christianity) was one of the main speakers. She was asked about that. She said the creators would have preferred to be more openly Christian, but realized they had to be more "generic" (that's my term, I forget how she actually phrased it) to get by CBS and the sponsors.

That's not a defense of the show. Just some trivia I had taking up space in my brain.
