Jude 2

The BOOK OF DANIEL, right now? I heard Today that a few local NBC affiliate arent going to show this series , because of the amount of emails they recieved from their customers.....what do you guys think?


Is this show , going out on a limb , or is it just me and they are just putting all the things that really happen in churches today into a show ? Should this be offensive or used as a tool , a mirrior if you will for Christians today to examine their lives and , cause us to be more in prayer and fasting for our Brothers and sisters around the world , who may really be struggling with these types of sins?


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? YEA- NAY--ANY OTHER THOUGHTS?

I didnt watch. The commercials just didn't look interesting.

Since I have'nt seen it, I can't comment on the "is it offensive" question. I am a fan of Beavis & Butthead, Simpsons, SouthPark, etc.....
I will say it takes ALOT to offend me.
I don't think it should be cancelled though.

I know what I'll be watching on Friday's...I like it

I would like to make up my own mind, rather than rely on another opinion, that quite frankly has been too biased in passed issues for my personal taste. In any case, it's not Sci-Fi, so it may be a while before I catch an episode, if it is available here.

I watched it.... (finishing it up right now on the DVR)...
I think it is cute. I think it is true for most churches today. I think the family issues are real.

I liked:
Jesus seems real. Though I disagree with the doctrine, it helped me think of him as a friend that is really there to listen ALL the time.
Humor was cute.
Story line was interesting.

I didn't like:
The kids need the rod of correction.
The cussing is a bit over board.
Jesus' hair. GAG! What about Johnny Damon??

All in all, it's sad, but mostly true for "Religious" people today.

Nah. Didn't watch it because AMC had on "Halloween" "Friday the 13th" and "Friday the 13th part 2".

Just to good of a night to pass up these classics.

I liked it too. I'm ignoring the right wing when they tell me what to do from now on. They're condescending and stupid. I can't believe the flap over this.

Didn't watch it, don't know.

If I remember right the girl is 14, the adopted son is 16 and the gay son is 19...in my book a little to old for the "rod of correction" ...don't get me wrong, I'm all for using the "rod", but on teens?...and with child abuse laws the way they are today

Like you though, I liked the way they portrayed Jesus...if you noticed he never tried to TELL the pastor what to do, just "pointed" him in the right direction or gave him a choice...and the pastor was always asking Jesus what he was suppose to do about situations(I think most people call that praying )

I watched it while talking on the phone with my girlfriend(she was watching it too)...she was raised in the Episcapal(sp)church and said it reminded her of those days...said she remembered everyone drank and cussed(including the pastor) back then...said the only thing that she saw was wrong was when the pastor was preaching and his adopted son leaned over and looked across the aisle at the girl...said that never would have happened "back in the day"(maybe now but not in "the day")...the underlying theme that "everyone in town knows what's going on" with the pastor's family points to the fact that they "live in glass houses" but IMO was a bit overblown.

Overall, I thought it was a good show and pointed out that even though pastors(and their family) are held to a higher standard, they are human just like everyone else. I'll be watching it after Ghost Whisperer on Friday nights.

If my 14 y/o gets caught selling pot she is getting a whippin with the belt.

The 16 y/o needs to be grounded and watched better.

The 19 y/o ... well.... looks like from the preview for next week he gets him a little girl action. Maybe that's what he needs.

They all have potty mouth.

They all have potty mouth.

Including mom and dad

Didn't watch it and won't. I think t.v. is doing to the oppositte to the church as what it did for the gay agenda. Years ago t.v. played gays off as funny and fruity. Then they slowly started using the gay theme in more serious dramas. Now it's just considered an "alternate lifestyle". I think t.v. is trying to slowly take the seriousness of the gospel and church away. It's okay to have fun and to joke but WWJD? Would He watch the "Book of Daniel"? Just my 2 cents!
