Excellent Smithers....

This is I hope great news...I have flicked through the Religious broadcasts over here in the UK and found it thoroughly depressing to find virtually every channel wholly devoted to extravagant life-styles, self-promoting, non-stop selling of tapes books and dvds, hands opened for donations...all delivered with great hype, brash self-importance and subtle manipulation..it is utterly vile.

It's the same (maybe worse!) here, Botz. Every program I turn on, even entire channels, is about fund raising, expensive clothes, heavy makeup and tips on how to get stuff from God ("God wants you to be wealthy!"). They make me ill and I won't watch them. There are a few exceptions, of course.

I know there are exceptions MG, and even the guys who promote wealth often say encouraging things when they give themselves a moment to preach....but all of this is soon forgotten in the onslaught of the inevitable self-promotion, and how blessed you can be for as little as a $50 donation.

Virtually all of these channels that we get in the UK come from the US, as generally the Christian public here does not warm to this sort of garbage...but they have been increasing, and the 'seed faith' principle is now seen in virtually every channel, where a person is ushered to the front and says how they gave $200 last week and now G-d has given them a cadillac...cue the preacher to encourage everyone to throw money in the buckets that are passed around, so that they may be blessed by G-d with material wealth....aaarrrrggghhhhhh I hate it...they may as well call it 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'!

OK, here's the problem. We can talk about certain styles of Preaching and even certain Doctrines until were blue in the face. However, when we start to call out Ministers by name we've exceeded the Spirit of this Ministry as I understand it. We are not going to be tearing down other Ministers or Ministries on Worthy, period. if I'm wrong in removing these posts I'll ask the other Mods to correct me .

I see you deleted my posts, Dave. So be it. But deleting them won't negate the truth. It's really amazing when things that have been published and/or shown on national news is deleted. I guess someone didn't like it because of WHO was being criticized. Again, the truth is what it is. Also, all of the flat out criticism and bashing of certain other ministries was allowed to stand before now. Is this selective or does it apply to criticism of ANY ministry outside of Worthy?

I think it's more a matter of because of what happened in the past, such has been found to be degrading. I know there's a fine line between dividing truth from error and that of slander and gossip. Sometimes erring on the side of caution is more beneficial.

Since this was my thread, I requested it be kept open with the offending posts deleted rather than be kept locked.

There is potential for valuable and edifying discussion from this without pointing fingers, which has always led to bashing (aka feeding frenzy).

Grace to you,

Here's a snippet from the Terms of Service;

If you have a problem with any of the Moderators or Chat admin, please keep it private. The moderation team serves this ministry on a voluntary basis. They are human beings and make mistakes. If you disagree with one of their decisions, make use of the PM system or email or the Repost Post button to get satisfaction. (Matt. 18:15)

This is a privately funded message board, we reserve the right to edit or remove any postings that we feel are detrimental to the fellowship on this board, or detrimental to the witness of the board, as we see fit. It is not possible to read every post. If you see a board violation, please report it using the Report a Post button.

The fact of the matter is that we have never allowed other Minsitries or Minsters to be torn down on this Ministry. It's not part of our purpose or Goals. If you desire to start a Ministry about how corrupt certain Ministers are then you have all of cyber space to do so.

Talk about Doctrine all you want.

peace,

dave

[Isaiah 6:8]

and to continue.. with the original opp. I have personally found that "National" T.V. Pastors have a tendency to stray from sound doctrine as they seem to get bigger then their britches. I tend not to watch such pastors. However sometimes in larger cities some of the local churches will broadcast there Sunday sermon live in the local area. I find that those are usually well worth watching, as they treat it as simply an extension of their church family.
