flamingjimmy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I don't understand this thread, there are quite a number of religious channels on tv already. It's a member of the Jehovah's witness's using this website for free advertising. They are aware as you are that there are plenty of religious channels on tv these days, but they've chosen (dishonestly) to pretend that they're not aware so as to attempt to start a discussion of their new tv channel. Obviously it's pretty dodgy because Christians aren't supposed to be deceptive like that but hey, whatever gets bums on chairs in their churches.

aliceBB Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I know and have taught a number of JWs, (some of them lovely people, some not), but a Jehovah's Witness TV channel sounds about as much fun as watching mud set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, it's more than obvious that the OP is trying to promote their favourite religious channel but I don't think he/she claimed (or implied) to be unaware that there are plenty of religious channels on TV. EDIT: Although I doubt he/she simply "came across" the JW channel Edited November 16, 2014 by RootsBooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 If it stops them from knocking on my door, I'm all for it. I find religious TV quite funny usually. Will it have the production values of Zee and Sheffield Live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) It depends what type of religious programme it is. I used to watch An Island Parish occasionally which was on for quite a long time, but that was more of a documentary mainly about the parish priest and day to day lives of the Roman Catholic community living on the Isle of Barra in the Hebrides. I don't usually watch Songs of Praise, but decided to yesterday after reading about the revamp and changes introduced into the new series. Instead of only hymn singing there was much more variety such as interviews with people telling their own life experiences. There was an interview with the family of Ann Maguire the teacher who was stabbed to death by the pupil, and a family from Syria who had come here to escape persecution talking about the suffering they had experienced. Also they had a man who despite being born with only one hand had become a talented concert pianist, his classical piano playing was remarkable! The programme (though remaining Christian) is more inclusive of all faiths which is what it should be. Edited November 17, 2014 by janie48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemist Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 what are your opinions on religion on tv ? i came accross the new tv channel which Jehovahs witness have launched , opinions ? http://www.tv.jw.org Im sure my package contains the god channel, so surely thats the only one you need? ---------- Post added 17-11-2014 at 13:31 ---------- Whilst they should be permitted to broadcast, it shouldn't be until after the watershed. We already have enough children that believe the Abrahamic stories to be factual instead of myth, we can't have this number increasing. Adults are mature enough to make up their own minds, children are easily fooled. Well Im sure that children will be rivetted to a religious channel so dont worry yourself on their part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit like saying that the Sport channel should be the only one any football fan needs. (if there is such a channel, Sky Sports maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
