On TBN....

[dgolvach]

If you were a non-believer with half a brain and you turned on TBN, what would you initial thoughts be? "Hmmmmm...Gee...this makes me want to learn more about Jesus?"

If you were a non believer with half a brain and you turned on TBN you would only have half a brain to be deceived, thereby only finding out half the truth.

Perhaps the single greatest tragedy is that much of the "TBN-Doctrine" and "TBN-Attitude" has found it's way into the Church.

Money is so much a central theme of todays churches. Mega-churches not associated with TBN, teaching how to have a Mega-church.

Look at the small fellowship of the first church. A few men, healing, teaching, and many being saved by these few men. Who submitted to Holy Spirit.

We do not see this today.

All these mega-churches, yet void of Holy Spirit gifts.

Why?

Where is the healing, and miracles in the most evangilized Nation on earth?

Something is gravely wrong.

Almost everything I see on TBN appears to be garbage that can only serve to fuel the war against Christ and his followers. Lately, however, I have found a few programs worth watching late at night. I wish I knew the name of the programs they showed. The most recent was about Paul and his ministry. I can only surmise that the "leadership" at TBN must be asleep allowing someone to play programs that actualy serve to glorify God and feed his flock.

That is part of my problem-I've been drinking too many sodas instead of water. I done so good for a while drinking a lot of water but not lately!

Try not drinking ANY cafinated drinks for a week or so. I stopped drinking sodas, tea and coffee over a year ago. There are soo many benefits. I sleep sounder and I sleep LESS. You will be saving your teeth and taking in fewer calories to boot. I watch my co-workers come to work and they either have to have a soda or cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I have also noticed that I rarely yawn while I see a few of my co-workers yawning alot. Give it a try. Whats to loose?

Not everyone who's "show" is televised on TBN is part of the "TBN Family." TBN acts mostly as a conduit for the Word Faith movement, to preach the "unique" TBN message, but it also provides airspace for other ministries to promote their messages. Sadly some of the ministries that buy airspace from TBN eventually become part of the TBN family and therefore start to promote the typical TBN brand of heresy. The attraction to "join the family" is usually money.

God Man,

Your testimony was so infuriating and sad to read. Why on earth did Jan put everyone's personal belongings in a garbage bag! BIZARRE!!

Jan always prided herself on her "taste" for interior decorating. She pretty much designed all the sets, and the office decor. It really bothered her that employees brought in little pictures, crosses and other types of personal decorative items and placed them around their desks.

I had been a watcher of TBN for quite a few years. I have so wanted to believe their message. I have in the past supported many of the preachers who are on their network. But I'm still as broke as I ever was.

Not so long ago, I was considering starting a thread on WB about how angry I am because my journey doesn't seem to be their journeys.

I have not been able to watch TBN or any of their preachers now for about I'd say at least a year, although I may have listened to JDM after the Katrina hurricane.

But I can no longer listen to any of them.

I haven't been a member here at WB for all that long, so I have never ran across this thread until it was recently bumped. I'm not all that with the computer world if you know what I mean. I guess what I trying to say can be put like this; I have been in a turmoil, but God has confirmed some of the questions I have been struggling with. So, for me this thread has been confirmation from God. Maybe now, I can be able to have some peace and put some of my issues to rest. Thank You. .......jmh137

It Breaks my heart to hear all this about TBN!

I have heard testimonies from people whom I have actually met, who were saved through listening to a TBN program. (God can use whatever he chooses to get his message out!)

In the end... those who use deception will give accountability to God!

It breaks my heart too. My best friend Katie who died of breast cancer at the age of 47, she and I along with our friend Charlie, from our church would either meet at my house or Katies every night eat and watch TBN until we could keep our eyes open. I knew money had become top on their list but I had no idea this was going on. No wonder they didn't do anything about Benny Hinn when he was caught in his scandal. God must be sickend, I know I am.
