Church TV

[Beauty hunter]

Tootsie, all I am saying is that I am addressing certain people about certain things and if it is not true in their case then they should go about their business and not worry about it. I am not assuming or making judgments, but am making observations of actions. This actually has nothing to do with you. The general statement of people removing friendship requests is addressed to people that have disagreed with a viewpoint and removed a friendship request, again- nothing to do with you. I simply said that I was able to disagree with people, yet, remain friends. Since this has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it. If SWGB has a question or Geo, they are men and well able to speak for themselves. I wasn't disagreeing with anything they were saying in the first place if disagreements concern you, just repeating what SWGB said in post #3 and answering a question Geo had asked me in another thread that was similar to this thread. As far as the people go that have removed their friendship, I still have no hard feelings, but understand that some people do. I do not expect everyone to agree with me, but some people believe you have to agree with them in order to remain friends. I believe you are trying to help, but don't. I would rather clear up any misunderstanding firsthand, not secondarily. SWGB and Geo haven't said anything so until they do just let it go. I wasn't even speaking to you in the first place. People have their own mouths, let them speak or it comes close to a dysfunction of sorts. There is no need to apologize, as you are just trying to make peace, but you can't fix everything. There is no hard feelings in me making an observation, just an observation- no more no less. The breaking of friendship agreements came up because issues are taken personally instead of a matter of a different point of view. Again, disagree with me if you want, I am not offended, but don't expect me to say everything that you agree with.

Tootsie, Just in case I possibly said something to hurt your feelings, I want you to know that I think you try harder than anybody to please people by trying to make peace and bring friendship and harmony in a very active way. So since you and I have different agendas(as Kurt says, we all have one)let's say peace to one another as I have nothing whatsoever against you and would feel bad if I did anything to hurt your feelings. Please forgive me if I have hurt your feelings, that was never my intention. Different life callings require different personalities, let's celebrate our differences knowing we are both needed in our own way.

celebrating differences is what its all about.

and respecting different opinions, beliefs, cultures, religions, lifestyles, etc... I really think its what we all strive for and maybe we need to be reminded of how to do that now and then.

so I wish you peace as well! and thanks for understanding.

ps. I edited my post to remove the part about swgb and geo. you're right. they are big boys and can take care of themselves.. so screw 'em! from now on they are on their own!!!!;-) they know I love 'em.

Maybe this doesn't seem odd to locals or folks native to small towns. But as a transplant I find it interesting that the local NBC affiliate's Sunday morning lineup consists of The Living Word presented by the Springfield Community Church followed by Meet the Press and then a full mass (not sure who produces this).

I personally am unoffended by it especially since my understanding is that both represent paid programming. On a side note, I find the Springfield Church program very entertaining. But I digress.

I can't help but wonder. What would happen if a Muslim service pooled resources together and bought airtime and presented a prayer service? Would the station allow it and take their money? Would folks find it odd or be offended?

the advertisers would be boycotted, yahoos would protest at the station entrance, and nightime would bring the redneck lightning for the fire department to deal with.

BH, help us out cuz your posts are confusing. I start a thread about churches buying ad space on NBC and I ask some pointed (and obviously loaded) questions. You respond with a post that is all over the road talking about taking back friend requests, not seeking truth, you answer questions asked to you on other threads, offer apologies, take back apologies, etc etc

I love to discuss these issues but can't read your mind. I only have your written words to go by. If u don't care to play, that's fine. But if that's the case please get off the court so the rest of us who choose to can engage each other. No offense intended. G

Thanks Bob for answering the questions.

Hey Geo, 3rd paragraph, 1st post, kachink on the court. Basic difference between men and women is that women may not stick to the subject totally, all dude. Difference in playing tactics since you are using sports analogies. My best friend and I used to play championship foosball with a group of men. We were the only women. The men were strategic and calculating when making their shots. We knew this so in order to divert the strategy we shot from the hip. We won the championship. Venus/Mars. Love you guys, can't operate like you though. I don't understand everything you guys do either, but I still love you and am glad you're different. I might go a step further to even say I'm intrigued with the male species- now strut on.

church tv has been around forEVER. Nothing new here. Big towns, small towns, it is always there. Nothing offensive. All of the wealthy preachers do the tv broadcasts, so that they can make tons more money. Ooops, I mean so that they can "spread the word of Jesus." What would be great is having many stations showing various forms of "church," so that people can learn more about whatever religion they wanted to.

I love to watch the Springfield church. I'm not sure, but I think I could fill in for the guy on banjo. It's not that I'm that good, it's that... oh, nevermind. It is highly entertaining.

By the way, if you are offended, turn off your television. You won't find God on TV.

My Sunday morning routine always icludes (after scrambled eggs and bacon) Springfield Baptists televised show first, followed by Face the Nation with David Gregory. They have both become superlative forms of entertainment for me.
