So what's the point, then? Why even present the hypothetical in which you would intertwine yourself with such a smutty publication?
Because the point I was trying to make is if someone presents you with the opportunity to spread the gospel, you should take it...

It was TIC, RC. LOL. We've watched PPV movies before! I just forgot that they don't have commercials...although I do seem to remember some advertisements between showtimes, but maybe it was just for other movies.

I agree with your generic statement, but I think there are exceptions. As I mentioned before, advertising in publications and within certain programming is financial support for that publication and/or that programming, and therefore it would have to be considered whether or not paying their bills warranted a spot where "sinners" are definitely going to see the ad, and how that would look overall in the public eye, both Christian and secular alike.

There is a point when "don't let your good be evil spoken of" DOES come into play...isn't there? Is there ever a point that it should matter?

Maybe I'm not thinking out of the box enough. *shrug*

SINNER!!

and, yeah, they used to have some "filler" stuff in between the time the movie ends and a half-hour block that the next one can start (so, the movie runs 105 minutes including the end credits, but it is scheduled for 2 hours, so they have 15 minutes of "filler" which is basically nothing-fluff or whatever ads for other movies they are showing on PPV are in between, but the assumption is no one is actually watching the channel during this time)

Nowadays, however, PPV is almost all "in Demand" where you essentially rent the movie for a block of time and can play, rewind, fast forward, etc. the movie for that period of time...

I would say advertising would be crossing the line because of the financial/support aspect of it... if Playboy has no advertisers, they don't exist... so why help them exist by advertising in it???

I was referring to if Playboy asked to interview you (and it wasn't being done at the Playboy Mansion lol) and you could teach the gospel in the interview, how could one turn it down, ya know?

and there is a point where that comes into play, I think advertising (and thus paying for the magazine to exist) is probably at that point, but if they want to give us free space in thier magazine, I don't see why we should turn it down...

(not that they ever would, but whatever)
