Should TV preachers be banned from television because they rarely tell the truth,  and are a little crazy?

They should be banned because they take money from poor desperate people. These preachers get filthy rich from TV donations.

I take no joy in anyone's disgrace. However, the irony of the situation isn't lost on me. It makes me wish that the Fundamentalists and other groups would lighten up on the gay issue so that people could just come out of the closet instead of living lives based on secrecy and falsehood. It's a recipe for hypocrisy. My own church is open to gay clergy, and we haven't seen anything like this coming from them; we already know they're gay, so there's nothing to hide. It's a sad commentary on one individual--in this case, the minister in question--but a worse indictment of his own church and its homophobic agenda.

Thats ridiculous.......they should now bleep out anytime anyone says Buddha, Mohammed,  Moses, etc...or any other religous reference uttered if they are going to bleep out Jesus....they can say bitch on tv, but they can't say Jesus?!\n\nYes, they are WRONG

Preachers hiding their own scandals under a cloak of righteousness? This sure seems to be the case! I'm beginning to wonder about the chicken and the egg.  Does preaching hate against a group mean you're covering yourself, or does obsessive hate turn into compulsive behavior of the type you hate? Either way, it's another compelling reason to keep religion out of politics.

It's actually the preachers who choose to distort the message that take away the responsibility.\nThese are the real hate-mongers of the world

As regards the supernatural, it's near impossible to convince anyone that they are wrong be they cynic or believer.  I'm fairly certain that many Psychics believe they are on the level and there are certainly plenty of genuine con-artists who take advantage of believers.

hmmm it can be, i'm skeptical of a lot of those televised things, but i mean there are such things as demons and exorcists... it's in the Bible.

Far to often I probly fall prey to these strawmen.  It is sometimes hard to tell the blind faithful apart from the fakes.  To bad there is not some sort of christian detector.\n\nThe worst part is when either the blind or the fakes get into the media.  Then they realy bring down how the world looks at your religion.

I'll tell you one thing--it sure can't hurt it.  I think it's sad the way stations in some cities refused to air this show.  I haven't watched it yet (but it's on the TiVo!), but when I do I will watch it with an open mind.  Television doesn't always ring as truthfully as it should, but I'm with you in that showing a family of faith that's not "Seventh Heaven" is a good thing.  I always heard it was the PK's (preacher's kid) that got in the most trouble.  It must be true!\n\nI think it's great when you can use something like this show, even if it's not as spritually sound as you would like it to be, and let it be a springboard to a more meaningful discussion or understanding of what and where our place is on our journey.  I think it's just too easy to dismiss a show like this when it could teach us something, and maybe even laugh at ourselves a little.

I hope God changes this channel soon, as this is the show of complete craziness and evil.\n\n(in terms of murder, hate, poverty, cruelty etc.)

its retarted... i dont mean to offend anyone here... but this is my opinion.\n\nfirst of all... i think its ok to say black sheep on tv. if people interpret it differently thats they own dam luck... they shouldnt watch the dam show.\n\nsecond of all... tv censorship is getting out of control... children hear stuff on  the streets and at home (faul language). there is no need to censor certain words.\n\npeople change things because they are afraid of getting sued or something like that. racism or anything should not be the answer to everything. otherwise i could walk down the road and see a sign in a shop that says "sizzling sausages on sale here". i could interpret it as sexual.\n\nin the longrun its all bullshit. unless its something real not like a black sheap, it should be left alone. i mean come on, get real !

Pretty confrontational for someone preaching about God.

Yep - me too. The difference between the preacher at your local church and these guys is money and power. As Dante said, power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. So unfortunately, if a preacher has good intentions when he starts it is almost guaranteed that he will become corrupted by the money, power & fame of televangelism (with one exception - Billy Graham). But I don't worry too much about the people you named - people will believe what they want to believe. It's frustrating at times, but Jesus is the message. And the people who seek Him will find Him. That's why God uses the local church to save the lost & minister to the community. May God bless you & your friends.

so why are you preaching your beliefs? mean what you are doing is putting your ideas down, telling others they are wrong (religious nuts) and say that your way would leave people in peace. are you sure of this , do you have any facts to back this up? (does this sound familiar)

An example from the  news:  When a preacher  preachs against sin, but is caught committing the same sins, he is no longer listened to.

I think the criticism is funny. It's a show where people have problems and a guy talks to Jesus about them. Isn't this what christians want? As for people getting mad that clergy are represented as pill poppers and worse well as the son of two ministers I have seen that and worse from people who are ordained and in the pulpit.
