The Tyranny of TBN by Jackie Alnor

The recent revelation that programmers paying for airtime on the Trinity Broadcasting Network are being censored by the Crouches convinced me that I should publish this small portion of my yet unpublished manuscript, "TBN: The Fleecing of Christianity." [It is still seeking a publisher who isn’t intimidated by TBN’s money and power.]

Hal Lindsey’s program "International Intelligence Briefing" has been cancelled due to his strong stand against the threat of Islam around the world. But that truth is a conflict of interest for TBN since they have stations in Muslim countries. So if they can’t censor Lindsey, they knife him in the back. One offended commentator wrote, "Hal also told one of my board members in October at our conference that Jan Crouch does the programming. Jan is a "Dominionist". In other words, she believes that the church will make the world perfect before Jesus can return. I am not sure if Paul Crouch takes that stand as he has produced or co-produced some excellent films, some on Bible prophecy. Hal has had many talks with Jan Crouch trying to change her theology but to no avail."1 So TBN can’t let anyone mess that up for them.

Wow!thanks for the post. Went and read the whole article, book excerpt included. Keeps reminding me of the line in the Left Behind movie, 'follow the money, honey'.

My two favorite quotes are:

"The worse possible thing that can be hurled at you is ‘touch not the anointed of the Lord,’" Walter Martin once preached. "The anointing of the Lord is upon people who are faithful to the Lord. If you’re not being faithful to God, who says you’re anointed?"

and:

Another long-time visible TBN executive says he never watches TBN. He says his teenager refers to it as "The Baal Network."

Very good post! Thanks! I did write TBN about Hal Lindsey's show and I got the same response everyone else did. I kept it, because they said they are going to put Hal back on in January. And if they don't...I am going to send them back their letter and ask them why I should trust them since they lied. Wonder what they will have to say then?
