They actually have people call them! Maybe the cable company can begin tithing from the thousands they save?!? So, really, on the one hand, maybe their thinking is that God's Holy Spirit will work through the programming to convict the hearts of those who have fallen through on their commitment to pay their bill, that their hearts will be touched. Then, on the other hand, we all know tbn really sucks. (Can I just be the one to say it? It's really not very good.) Great article to share, Amanda.

I completely agree with you mandy - my husband came across that news yesterday and shared it with me and at first I thought how cool - they can hear the gospel. Then quickly thought, how pathetic and sad that that is the channel the cable company chose to bore the life out of people with to make them pay up asap! yikes! “Managing finance segments” that’s really funny!
