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 Voter Beware With Thompson And Romney To: News Assignment Desk Media Contact: Bill Wilson at bill@dailyjot.com or visit http://www.dailyjot.com 2007-06-27 -- [WDC News Post] -- WASH— Christians looking for a Presidential candidate in Fred Thompson ought to think about it a bit more before jumping on the bandwagon. Thompson has been very elusive about his faith since Focus on the Family’s James Dobson suggested that Thompson should declare his faith. At that time, a Thompson spokesman said that the prospective candidate was baptized into the Church of Christ—a sect that some consider a dangerous cult because of its teachings on baptism and works based doctrines that question the atonement of sins through Jesus Christ. A recent story reveals a good deal more about Fred Thompson’s character. Headlined “Old Girlfriends Cast Their Vote For Thompson”, reporter Sara Baxter writes: “In the battle for the women’s vote, Fred Thompson has a secret weapon against Hillary Clinton - the legions of former girlfriends who still adore him and who want him to be president. The Hollywood actor and former Tennessee senator racked up an impressive list of conquests during his swinging bachelor days in the 1990s, but he appears to have achieved the impossible and kept their friendship and respect.” Indeed, Thompson admits to his philandering in answers to Republicans who questioned his past. “I was single for a long time and yep I chased a lot of women,” the story says Thompson told them with a grin. “And a lot of women chased me. And those who chased me tended to catch me.” Georgette Mosbacher, a Republican fundraiser who once dated Thompson, says that his ex wife, his current wife and all his ex girlfriends still love him. Mosbacher, therefore, concludes: “It says a lot about his character that his ex-wife and ex-girlfriends think he is fabulous. Character is important in a president.” Character is important in a president, and so is his religion. If a president says he believes in Jesus Christ, but the christ he says he believes in is not really Jesus Christ, the son of God who died on the cross for the atonement of sin that those who believe in Him shall have everlasting life, then that person is a liar. Apparently, Fred Thompson sees sex outside of marriage as a right rather than as a sin. He might justify it as he was not married at the time and everybody else does it anyway. But that doesn’t dismiss the sin. So Christians who stand on true Biblical principles are faced with bleak choices for the moment in Thompson and cult member Mitt Romney. 2 John 7 says, “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” So Christians, at least for now: Voter beware. WDC Media Public Relations. 1-877-862-3600. www.wdcmedia.com |
