Re: Utopia!

This show looks like total trash. I saw the preview on a commercial. Any show that starts out by promoting itself with all the women in bikinis is a waste of my time. It is all about ratings. The TV creators and producers are trying to push the envelope. They are going to start a new society and they have to start from scratch. Oh but don't forget your bikini. Yeah that will be very helpful. I am sure.

I think TV is a lot like books. You have so called writers that put out anything that will make a buck. Then you have real writers who take their craft seriously. The true writer will come up with a plausible, interesting and emotionally gripping plot. And then they will read books, attend workshops or go to college to hone their writing skills.

This TV show isn't even good reality TV. AND yes I am making a judgment even know I will never watch one second of the show.

Re: Utopia!

Huh! I had it wrong all these years. Maybe all preachers should go into strip clubs and preach ALL by themselves. Sounds like a great idea.

Yes I am being sarcastic! There is a time and place for everything. I read that somewhere.

Re: Utopia!

Oh wow a guy got baptized. Now he can go skinny dip with strangers and know that his sins are forgiven. Great for him.

If God calls them to do that, then of course they should! Right?

Re: Utopia!

I get so sick and tired of people saying God called me to do this. The next thing they are doing what THEY want. Seems like a cheap cop out.

I have no opinion of the minister going on the show. But every time someone starts with this called stuff in seems in a little while they always cross the line.

My two cents anyway.

Has God ever asked you to do something?

Re: Utopia!

By the way, there have now been 5 episodes, I think. I quit watching after one or two, then caught up with on-demand. It's a train wreck.

In case anyone wants an update:


SPOILER ALERT!

SPOILER ALERT!

SPOILER ALERT!

SPOILER ALERT!

SPOILER ALERT!


Brother Jonathan, our Pentecostal pastor, has been injured! Had to leave Utopia for treatment of a broken bone in his hand. Also, the fellow he baptized in the video above? Before that, he had left on his own, then asked to come back. The group voted that he could not return to stay, but they allowed him to come back to be baptized. Then he had to go. He's got anger issues. Too bad they didn't realize that getting saved makes you a new creation. Old man passed away, etc.

Anyway, I'm not sure if the pastor will be back or not. They weren't clear on that issue. I guess if the Lord wants him back in, he'll be back in.

Oh, I almost forgot,

As soon as the pastor left the scene, Utopia let their hair down for a real party! No, they weren't celebrating that he was gone -- in fact, everyone, and literally everyone, far as I can tell, was very respectful of Pastor Jonathan and actually loved him. No, it was more like now that he's gone, we can let our hair down. Which is kind of odd, considering their hair was pretty much down before -- his presence in Utopia didn't stop the skinny dipping, e.g. But this party, well, you don't even want to know what went on!
