Trust me. Nothing on cable/satellite is more entertaining than that.

I don't get it . . .

Why? Why does he have to do that? On Benny Hinn's show, of all places?

Man!

De -

He does it because he believes it. As to why he's on Hinn's show - who knows? I suspect it's because he knows Hinn has a huge audience and that's what selling books is all about.

Remember LaHaye has a big contract with a book publisher - so he has to reach as many people as possible. If he's not above suing the people who made the first Left Behind Movie because it wasn't good enough then I guess we shouldn't be surprised he'd stoop to this level!

Alan, yeah, every time we visit relatives who have cable and in 100 channels I can find nothing worth spending time on, I remind myself why I don't have cable.

I like some of those home improvement channels, though.

I'm glad we don't have cable and I don't plan on ever getting it.

Netflix rules!

I have cable, today I caught the last half of Shenandoah. My favorite quotes from the movie are.

If we don't try we don't do. And if we don't do, what are we on this Earth for?

And

There's not much I can tell you about this war. It's like all wars, I guess. The undertakers are winning. And the politicians who talk about the glory of it. And the old men who talk about the need of it. And the soldiers, well, they just wanna go home.

We have satellite, but I pretty much just use it for home improvement shows and sports. My wife wanted it because out here in the boondocks, we can't get good antenna reception.

I wonder what this says about LaHaye. Used to be that eschatology was pretty much his one major blind spot. If you want to call it a blind spot-- mostly it was just a stubborn insistence that his version of it is of the essence of the faith.

Maybe this signals a mindset that pre-tribulational dispensationalism is not just a necessary, but a sufficient, condition of the true faith.

I saw about 30 seconds of this before I turned it. Hinn appeared to be having a hard time grasping anything LaHaye was talking about (in the 30 seconds I watched it, at least).

How does Benny Hinn even have a show, even on TBN? Are they REALLY that willing to look past his glaring credibility problems?

The classic bumper sticker claiming "WARNING: In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned" was one of the things that illustrated to me the silliness of Dispensational Premilleniallism.

Don't tell anyone this, but the "Left Behind" books are one of the reasons I quit my church library job.

We have Dish Network for the home improvement shows. And, so our adult children will come home to watch our vaste assortment of sports channels.

Is anyone really going to be concerned about gridlock after the rapture? I mean for Pete's sake - you see a bunch of people leave the planet, I think you might have more on your mind than "darn, i wish this traffic wasn't so snarled right now..." LOL. Thanks - that was...entertaining.
