I brought this up recently, asking anyone if they supported the idea of
my proposed "JNN" (Jesus Name Network)
but I haven't heard much support.

Ooooh!  Excellent point!  Another question is, why even videotape the
services if we restrict where they are played?  Our mission is one to use
every form of media we can to spread the word.

I would be in full support to it and if there was an opening, I would
quickly apply.  My career has been one of Radio and Television work since
1979, that is rare in Pentecostal ranks and I get a lot of "looks" when I
tell people what I do.

Some people here have said that they have never seen anything bad on the
Internet.

They are blessed.
