Re: TBN
It has been a few years since I have been able to bring myself to watch anything on TBN. However I do enjoy documentary type programs on Christian churches in countries that are inhospitable to them.
I remember back in the mid 90's ABC's Nightline actually did a program on the underground Christian churches in China. This was before China loosened up and discovered captialism in it's "Enterprise Zones".
It honestly was as if a Christian org. had paid for a documentary. The footage and story was amazing. It showed people traveling a long distance for a Bible conference out in the country and how they were sleeping and hiding in a secret crawl space of a country farm home.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
