June 9, 2007 ORLANDO -- Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the world's largest religious broadcaster and America's most-watched faith channel, hopes to change more lives through its addition of the "Holy Land Experience" theme park in Orlando, Fl., to the TBN family. Through the acquisition, TBN will bring an integration of the powerful living recreation of ancient Jerusalem with a cutting edge facility that will be used for television production, dramas, musical concerts, special events and movies. "This marriage will bring an unprecedented synergy to both ministries and the production that is done there will be seen by a worldwide audience. TBN's involvement made sense, because both ministries are about changing and effecting people's lives. We've been doing that for 34 years," said Paul Crouch, Jr., TBN Vice President of Administration. "We believe this opportunity was heaven sent because it bought TBN an Orlando-based facility to fulfill it's local programming obligations for WGTL CH-52 and it will provide "The Holy Land Experience" with much needed promotion to bring more people to the theme park and Orlando as a whole." The Holy Land Experience could well be considered Orlando's most inspiring destination as visitors experience a full day of discovery that takes them 2,000 years back in time to the world of the Bible. It brings to life ancient Israel as a unique, thriving world filled with fascinating exhibits and venues. Visitors learn about the Wilderness Tabernacle and the Great Temple; discover the amazing history of the Bible; explore the city of Jerusalem in miniature; see re-enactments of Jesus' ministry, His life, death, and resurrection; and feel the power and passion of our original musical productions. WGTL TV, Channel 52, has a reach of over four million viewers in the Orlando and Cocoa Beach metropolitan areas with TBN's wide range of innovative faith-based programming. In October of 2006, TBN celebrated the inaugural broadcast of WGTL Ch-52 in Orlando with a dedicatory service attended by TBN founders Paul and Jan Crouch, Pastor Benny Hinn, Singer and Preacher Judy Jacobs hosted by Pastor George Cope and Calvary Assembly in Winter Park, Fl. The combination of the production facilities and the Holy Land Experience offers Orlando visitors a powerful and unique faith based experience that can be promoted worldwide through the TBN network. The promotional capability can drive visitors to the complex. "Some of the staff was asking what is going to be the immediate effect here at the park and my answer was 'I'm planning on you having more people coming through the turnstiles this summer,'" said Crouch. "Universal Studios does the same thing. We want the 'Holy Land Experience' to be a faith-based version of that." About TBN |

WDC MEDIA NEWS Babies Now Blamed For Global Warming By Green Group To: News Assignment Desk Media Contact: Bill Wilson at bill@dailyjot.com or visit http://www.dailyjot.com 2007-05-07 -- [WDC News Post] -- WASH—May 7—DJNS-- The global warmists are now saying that having babies is bad for the planet and that babies should be considered an environmental misdemeanor because a baby’s carbon dioxide output is equivalent to some 620 round trip flights between New York and London. According to the London Times, a green think tank called the Optimum Population Trust is publishing a report that suggests couples wanting to have children should take the environment into account. John Guillebaud, co-chairman of OPT and emeritus professor of family planning at University College London, said, “The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child.” The Times pointed out that the British fertility rate is 1.7, and the European Union average is 1.5. Despite this, Professor Guillebaud says rich countries should be the most concerned about family size as their children have higher per capita carbon dioxide emissions. In another commentary by environmental extremist Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, mankind was compared to a virus that is destroying “Mother Earth.” Watson demanded that the population of earth be reduced by one billion people. He also said that humans should stop flying in jets, stop driving cars and stop using boats and ships. These radicals are claiming that babies and mankind in general should be eliminated over time for the survival of planet earth. The message behind the message, however, is that these communist and socialist driven messages and movements want to create a controlled class of people where the economy, the family, the food, the shelter are all managed by the government, which is run by those god-like humans who know better than anyone else how to control the world. They are people who worship “Mother Earth” or the “State” as their god and their goal is to establish their one world rule over all others. In a world of free speech, it is difficult to argue that these people have no right to say what they believe. The problem is they are using alarmist scare tactics to create cadres of gullable people to follow them into their immoral and misleading agenda. Recently Czech President Vaclav Klaus warned the U.S. Congress that “Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism." It could be contended that communists are just using environmentalism as a vehicle to make communism acceptable. They are doing the same with religion. “Take heed to yourselves that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods, and worship them.”-- Deuteronomy 11:16 WDC Media Public Relations. 1-877-862-3600. www.wdcmedia.com |
