Yeah, and we’d frequently play the movie “Inherit The Wind”
By the way, is it true that this is the official Trinity Broadcasting Network logo?
Thats because they didn’t have enough faith! :rolleyes:
Although a preach-off between say Bob Larson and Mike Warnke would be worth paying for.
Love it! 
Paul Crouch-isn’t he the so-called “ex-gay” who was caught in a gay bar then claimed he just had to pee?
I have to disagree, TBN has done a lot of good for people and many people credit the programming with helping to turn their life around or “save” it so if Paul and Jan need to do Praise-A-Thons to stay on the air then I’m all for it. I don’t think anyone has had a life changing experience watching Turner Classic Movies.
I know people that TBN is the only channel they will watch. I personally wouldn’t go that far but the station has produced and aired some entertaining movies such as one of my favorites Megiddo-Omega Code 2. It’s a great channel for reinforcing religous beliefs in Christians and possibly uncovering hidden beliefs in some atheists.
It just comes down to if you don’t believe any of the stuff they are saying like about God, Jesus, Blessings, Miracles, etc then of course watching will seem like comedy and you will wonder how anybody could send their money in but if you believe in it then you will have a totally different perspective. Bottom line it’s a good station and hopefully there will be more like it.
Then I must admit that I don’t understand it when a preacher tells people that are in credit card debt to make a donation using a credit card so “Jesus can get on that card” but maybe for people who are faithful and willing to make a change in their spending habits God will supernaturally help them out of debt, sounds silly to some but not at all far fetched to a believer.
“Won’t someone send food to feed Rexella?”
No, that was John Paulk, board chair of Exodus International, an “ex-gay” group. He was caught in Mr. P’s, a gay bar here in DC (now closed).
Actually, I read that accusation somewhere,though he was supposedly closet gay,not ex.
Clearly, you’ve never watched a Bette Davis marathon on TCM!
START, you’re a sweet kid so I hate to burst your illusions at such a young age, but TBN is an embarrassment to your religion. Hell, even the rabid fundies on Rapture Ready detest the naked greed and con artistry practiced by the Crouches and their droogs. Their programs are aimed at fleecing the ignorant, the poor, and the desperate. They’re granny robbers, conning vulnerable old people into sending them their Social Security checks by pleading poverty while driving expensive cars and owning several houses, including a $5 million dollar home in Newport Beach. Here’s a Christian criticism of their fraudulent presentation of the gospel as some sort of divine barter system. In the old days, we’d call what the Crouches do simony.
And at some time in your life, you’ll realize that God has as much reality as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, and if He did exist, the Architect of the Universe would surely exhibit better taste than to draft a pair of sorry ass, trailer trash, penny ante, carny grifters like the Crouches to speak for Him.
There have definitely been gay rumors about Paul Crouch–and looking at the horror show he married, no fucking wonder he got turned off pussy.
NOOOOO!!! (sob) 
There’s a girl on the Power Team now?! That’s just wrong.
My favorite was always how they’d snap baseball bats because it was like breaking Satan’s arm. That and how sugar is evil because both “sugar” and “Satan” have five letters and start with “s.”
Back in the day I went to a church in Texas for a lecture on the occult (the church, for the record, was opposed). The church had crutches and wheelchairs and shit nailed up around the edge of the balcony as a testament to the healing power of Jebus. Looking around at the abandoned medical hardware, my eye was caught by a prosthetic leg. A prosthetic leg? Were they really trying to sell the idea that someone had regrown a limb like a salamander?
And here’s a fun game for START and friends.
You’re probably going to hate me for this, but doesn’t that make it an ex-gay bar? 
Indeed it is.
As I may have mentioned before, he said he was there to use the bathroom…
…and nobody thought to ask him “for what.”
Just remember, kids: John Paulk is just two letters away from Johan Paulik.
A couple of guys from the Power Team came to our church once a long time ago.
One of their bits was to tear a local phone book in half. Being as we were a little eastern Kentucky hick town, our phone book was maybe 3/4" thick. This wasn’t very impressive.
A Christian who can’t stand televangelists.
To my shame, I use to watch TBN and PTL , but at least I wised up. 
Whenever I saw them asking for money, and that was pretty much all the time, even when they weren’t running a Prais-a-thon, they would show people who would talk about how they sent in money they couldn’t afford, only to get it back, or get twice the amount, or even more.
And that made me wonder. If God gives out money, shouldn’t the televangelists be loaded? I mean, why ask for money from their viewers when they could eliminate the middle man and to straight to the source? Right?
That’s just too funny! Doesn’t she just remind you of Nancy Reagan?
