What is widely thought of as true and I don't doubt it is that Gunsmoke being on Sunday nights before DVR's caused the demise of most churches having a Sunday night service (non Pentecostal services of course). I have read that speculation from reputable sources. If true I think it was probably partially due to people just being burned out from two services on Sunday and wanting some down time to relax.

I am 60 years old, and if memory serves, Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel were on Saturday night...

Exactly right. It was BONANZA that kept people from Church on Sunday night. I remember a Preacher when I was a boy saying "Now I know some of you want me to hurry so you can go home and watch Bonanza".

For some reason I kept getting an error message that was telling me I had been blocked so I had to go around it.

Why in the world would a newspaper even concern itself with people sitting around drinking, smoking and speaking in tongues??????? And, if they were, so what? To say that all Charismatics drink and smoke is like saying all hard core pastors are having affairs. Does that mean that every single hard core conservative pastor is having an affair? I mean, really, I know several who have, but does that mean that they all are?

Tired of the broad brush theatrics, on both sides...........
