At least two other bloggers mentioned this but I thought I would post it anyway for anyone new who isn’t knowledgeable about TBN. I saw the other posts after I had written this.
From a blog post called Unholy Trinity.
John MacArthur talks about watching TBN on TV. I thought this quote was pretty funny.
Recently, however, while recovering from knee-replacement surgery, I decided to sample some of the current fare on TBN. From a therapeutic point of view it seemed a good choice: something more excruciating than the pain in my leg might distract me from the physical suffering of post-surgical trauma. And I suppose on that basis the strategy was effective.
“For many years TBN has been dominated by faith-healers, full-time fund-raisers, and self-proclaimed prophets spewing heresy.”
No shortage of snake oil salesmen on TBN.
So many innocent people are being influenced by them.
C’mon! TBN is an easy target. I don’t even bother with that network anymore. But I have a thought…
Easy target it may be, it’s still a problem which needs to be dealt with. As long as it’s still in existence and folks are still being deceived by it, it remains a problem which needs to be talked about.
Yes Douglas. Thanks for stopping by.
