You do reach a lot of people no doubt, but if you fail , a lot more people are hurt too, plus the secualr media has more opportunity to attack the church in general - what do you think ?

This tends to happen when people follow the man rather than the Man (God).

I think you're exactly right. Greater exposure brings greater responsibilty. Some people cannot handle that.
The guy who wrote the book apologizing for his part in the PTL scandal (can't think of his name) says that when that little red light goes on during filming, the people morph into some strange creature that they weren't before. I think that does happen to some people, but not to everyone. Greed and fame become more important than reaching the lost.

what do you think of his joining with Dr Phil? Good or Bad?

sherri, i'd like your opinion on this too please

I don't know enough about Dr. Phil to make a judgment call on this. I've heard that he's a Christian, but some of the things I've read on here don't sound like it. I don't really watch him, so I don't know.

Go to link provided on the threads and see where he stands on moral issues.

I don't really have an opinion pro or con on Dr. Phil. I have watched a few minutes of him a few times and he gets on my nerves. I am not into those type shows. I really don't care to hear peoples dirty laundry and then some off the cuff dime store counseling.

He may in fact give good advice I just have not listened to him enough to make a judgement. I have read that he is big on personal responsbiility which I am glad to hear.

Sherri and CC, this was taken from Dr Phil's site:

Christine: [B]My 22-year-old daughter is in a relationship with a woman. I don’t believe she is a lesbian. Could this be a form of rebellion and a result of getting in with the “wrong” crowd[/B]? Can homosexuality be learned and unlearned?

Dr. Phil: Homosexuality is not a learned behavior. A sexual orientation is inherited; you are wired that way. Certainly some people will experiment with a gay lifestyle, and a gay person might experiment with a heterosexual one. If she is really gay, she will find a place in that life and in that community. The important thing is that you just love her through that. What difference does it make if she is gay? Accept her, support her and do not be judgmental. It is difficult enough for her to live openly and honestly in this society; don’t put your judgment on top of that.

I read some of it. It doesn't sound good, but honestly, Thad, sometimes I don't trust the stuff that's written out there. I still like TD Jakes and I've heard stuff about him for years.

I just don't know enough personally about Dr. Phil to make any kind of judgment.

Did YOU take it from his site? If so, then I believe it. If it's just a rumor, then I don't know. If this is really what he teaches, then I think he's dead wrong.
