Premiering Easter Sunday (April 16th) on A&E (Cable Channel 23).  4 young boys attempting to enter the Catholic Priesthood are tempted with young females to see if they can decide.  WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH TELEVISION TODAY? Has it gone to far?\n\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189741,00.html

It is bad enough when one's peers pressure him/her to experiment with other acts either sinful and/or illegal (i.e drinking, drugs, DUI, pre-marital sex, etc.) but now young men who are doing their best to discern a calling from God to His service now have to contend with the satanic media placing worldly obstacles in their path.  If they are not being called, then let them find that out on their own!  They don't need help!

I found the language of the show to be quite interesting. Fore instance, during the first half of the show, they kept asking the question: "Is it real?" This isn't really what they meant, what they meant was "Is it old?" To me, they were implying that "real" = "true".\n\nThey also did not mention several Gnostic beliefs that would have discredited the movement in many people's eyes. You remember the scene at the last supper when they talked about Jesus laughing because the disciples were worshipping the wrong God, that the God who created the universe was actually an inferior God that was not worthy to be worshipped. What they didn't say was that Gnostics believed that this was the God of the Old Testament, so they ignored the Old Testament.\n\nAnother thing that stuck out to me was the phrase "When Jesus appeared on the Earth." Because they believed that the material world was evil, they had what is known as a Docetic view of Jesus. That is, that Jesus only appeared to be human, because God would have never become human and contaminated himself with the material world.\n\nI strongly agree with the speaker at the end who said that the Gospel of Judas provides valuable historical information about the history of Christianity and the movements within it. It shows us that there was never one single Christianity being practiced.  People have beein arguing about who Jesus was since a few minutes after he died.  With that being said, I do not personally believe it provides a historically accurate picture of the characters of Jesus and Judas.\n\nFinally, they seemed to think the fact that there were many Christianities unique. I have to disagree with that. There are many different versions of the Christian faith today, with different holy texts, etc. The book of Mormon is a prime example.\n\nIf you read the other Gnostic texts, you will find they have a lot in common with the Gospel of Judas.  For instance, both the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas elevate one of the Disciples above the others.  The Gospel of Mary Magdalene does the same thing for Mary.  None of the four canonical gospels does this for their author.\n\nAnother thing that absolutely amazes me is that we have 4 gospels that tell very similar stories.  There are some minor differences in the order of events or the events included, but they are consistant for the most part.  One new gospel is found that offers a different story and many people jump on that and say, "Wow!  This is the real story."  It just doesn't make any sense.

We have different shows in Australia. I do like 7th Heaven and just love all the Law and Order shows( I'm a sad fanatic of this group). We have a show called All Saints( hospital based) which I love. Love Crossing Jordan, Judging Amy, Boston Public and Will and Grace. We have just started getting on Pay TV the America Exposed Uncut series which I find really interesting. Sadly we are far behind in most shows and series. Thank goodness for Pay TV, I would die without my daily dose of Law and Order...lol.

I don't watch that show, but last week, there was a good dateline show, about that same subject. I really think, these people should be locked up, right away. I just can't get it through my thick head, why, in the world would anyone want to do those things. It is SICK..Here is a website, that will tell you, if any pedophiles, are living in your area.. You don't have to put your name in, just your zip code, is enough..\nhttp://criminalcheck.com

OH BE CAREFUL LITTLE EYES WHAT YOU SEE!! Our eyes are the doorway to our souls and that's why the devil try so hard to get to us through TV programs, movies etc, the TV was a great invention but unfortunately 90% of it's  content is full of ways to drive us away from Jesus, you can count with one hand the few TV shows that are educables and teachable in today's day, plus they take some much time away from our lives, this world would be a better place if we weren't watching to much TV. trough it our children are learning to giving into sexual passions, wars, nudity sensualism and much more, I believe that we as christian should watch what we watch and ask ourselves, Would be Jesus sitting next to me while I am watching this TV show, program, movie or whatever?  most likely the answer would be  a capital NO WAY!  God bless!

well dont worry about what the youth are going to hear on the radio. its not like they listen to it that much in reality. as compared to the lyrics they have on the ablums they are buying...  and the new age cartoons designed for mature audiences.. which does not mean that their 3 yrs old little brother is not watching at the same time his older bros' and sisters are, why not its a cartoon in fact.... and they have some weird stuff on tv... really weird. people putting gerbils in ungodly cavity's- kids batting off with condoms on... what about south park ?  do you know that the CIA own fox tv.... lol... that all profit made from coca cola , KFC and mac donalds go back to isreal to buy weapons... many more brands than this...   the real problem is that we are slowly being programmed to be immune to the crap that is on tv.. remember in the 60's how psycho would of made you poop ya pants... but now......... you be thinking quick change the channel .. that is some boring crap....  so it gets back to being decensortised? if thats how you spell it... lol....  its the new age society the governments are breeding and they are now starting with the youth of today who will be the adults of tomorrow..  when you think you are paying too much taxs... your health system is being a shambles.. and you hear of the middle east what a horror it is... remember this one point.. Dubai.. has 1% interest.... crime rate is 0 ... and its one of the cleanest cities in the world.... and more over populated becasue of the influx of the immigrants who flock to it becasue of the higher paying wages. and why is everything so cheap over there... seems to me.... our governments in the west are dictating to much ideals..... that they want us to follow.. to make them more powerful and take our own rights away from us....  and put crap on all the other countries who are less.. i will have to even say.. that indonesia (bali) is abotu 6 times cheaper than australia for the same name brand items...  and why .... again because our society is riping us off.... and it all starts with the chocolates that are packed low at the counter at the supermarket right at kids eye levels..... the media...... and you.. because you have choices..... and you choose...... your own way of life... you can say no........ just do it...  actually nike is one of them company;s that support isreal also...

I understand what you are saying. Last night when I went to bed there was an Amber Alert on TV (missing children), it ended in the death of one of the children and the other is in critical condition. This morning I get up, another Amber Alert...\nGod is waiting and watching. God Bless You!

It hasn't come out on DVD yet, and I haven't seen it listed anywhere to come out soon.  I love that show.  Every once in awhile, A&E will show it on TV.

I am mature enough in the FAITH(my WALK with GOD) to watch it.  I am kinda looking forward to it and will watch it like a good mystery flick!!!! I will probably spot most of the error's in it so I probably won't get decieved and tripped up, and I will probably PRAY for GOD to keep me from ALL DECEPTION befor I watch it, if I don't forget.  IF you have any FEAR's about  WATCHING IT, then grow stronger in the FAITH WALK, and watch re-run's later.  Wouldn't want satan decieving you and causing trouble in your Walk with GOD, course HE would help you later(get out all of the trouble-some deception's in your mind that you allowed to come in by watching it) it is up to you----free-will---GOD BLESS you if you watch it(to keep the deception's out) in JESUS NAME!!!!!

I can't even spell The CO properly, let alone watch it.  :-)\n\nBut the scene does sound like a clear indication of "what's wrong with the youth today."   Damn kids need to pick up a book every once and while!  When I was a kid...we only had a B&W TV...with 3 channels, I had to walk 10 miles in two feet of snow every day just to get to school, a loaf of bread cost a nickel, and if we wanted something we had to work for it...we all had 8 jobs, plus school, plus homework, our teachers beat us with sticks............and so on.

Im a stay at home mom, so i like to watch something that is continual, like soap opera's! I have been watching Passions for about the last 5 years, and watch is everyday! The early episodes of Passions comes on at 8am here, on the Sci Fi channel. Theresa and Whitney look exactly the same then than they do know! Some of the other characters look really different though. And i liked the earlier episodes of Passions because i though Timmy, the little boy who is with Tabitha, was sooo cute. What ever happened to him anyways?\n\nI watch the new episodes of Passions too, everyday that they are one. I cant wait to find out who the 'mystery priest' , a.k.a Passions Vendetta is!

I'm a Mormon--I haven't seen any of the episodes, I wouldn't mind checking it out but I just don't get HBO. \n\nIt is unfortunate that the show, whether intentionally or not, draws lines between Polygamist groups in Utah and the official LDS (Mormon) church. Any degree of research or life experience would show you that the two are very separate. The LDS church is intricately structured with an effective leadership hierarchy. It is not as though a single Mormon church group could decided to practice or support polygamy without any higher up leadership finding out. If they do anything so far out of line, they would be excommunicated. In that respect, the LDS church exercises nearly complete control over officially sponsored doctrine and practices to the individual church level. If you had the chance to see this process in action--it would be much easier to understand. \n\nWith this in mind, the highest LDS leadership over 100 years ago decreed that Polygamy was no longer needed and it's practice was to end. Today, that stance is even more firm. I have complete faith that any person who is a member of the official LDS church will be excommunicated if they practice polygamy. \n\nWith that all said, yes the Mormon church did practice polygamy. It is not a secret, however we do try to distance ourselves from it today since for one it is no longer in effect, and for another Polygamist groups aren't usually very pleasant for PR and we simply have no relation to them, therefor it is unfair to be associated with them. \n\nBut do take this in context. Mormons have a history of Polygamy. So do Christians in general if they believe in the Old Testament. So do the Jews and so do Muslims. So you can say what you want, but you practically can't be religious if you want to have a real argument against polygamy in religious life.

First, I must say this: I know I'm not the only who hates the use of the "F" word you incorporated in your question so maybe you could use another one to describe people you don't like? Just a thought.\n\nSecondly, where are you seeing spoilers at? Usually on message boards they have threads that almost always have the word "spoilers" in them to warn people before they click there in case they don't want to know what's happened ahead of time. \n\nI live on the west coast and see most shows 3 hrs ahead due to the fact that I have satellite and see east coast channels. AI is the only one that I don't have an east coast feed for so I can't help you out with who got cut yet. I have to wait til 8.\n\nI don't think people intentionally spoil shows for others. If you don't want to know what happened ahead of time I'd suggest staying away from any area that might have AI information and also not asking what happened might help too...lol
