Hearing the recent news of the AF & 3ABN merger must say that I have felt for sometime that all was not "kosher" at 3ABN. Having seen the voluminous information from a variety of sources regarding Danny, Linda, Tommy and et. al. I believe the Lord's hand is intervening! God tolerated Lucifer's deception for a long time but eventually Lucifer's true intentions and actions became known. I pray that as the true nature of the situation as well as actions of the various parties becomes known that the various parties involved will repent and seek forgiveness.
3ABN has done much good but the Lord doesn't need 3ABN to finish His work. Yes, it would be wonderful if 3ABN can continue to be a positive witness to the world but it is not necessary in the scheme of things for it to continue in order to complete sending the final gospel message to the world. I hope that what is happening is not a cover up or business as usual.
I am a purchaser of one of the not-so-lifetime memberships on Sky Angel and was greatly disappointed when the Sky Angel satellite ended the 3ABN broadcasts. However I am convinced now that this interruption, beyond man's control, was probably God trying to tell us all that things were not right within the 3ABN ministry. Maybe God is still trying to get everyone involved to come clean, repent of sin and all wrong-doing and to turn to the Lord with all heart and soul, word and actions.
Bible history is replete with examples of how human behavior has frustrated the work of the Lord. Yet, in the final analysis, God is in charge and will overrule all and He will be vindicated before all His created beings!
Yes, Lord come quickly!!! I think it is easy to suppose that we know why Sky Angel dropped 3ABN. I believe it was not the Lord who had his hand in that. He would not want the wonderful message that 3ABN brings about to be cancelled. It was likely the devil who was very unhappy with the message given by 3ABN and thus he worked hard to get it cancelled. But as all can see, God has intervened and it will be available to even more people now than ever before. That is how God works. I think we should not rush in haste to judge things. I think this merger is fantastic. God doesn't "need" any of us to finish his work but he LOVES us to work with him and I am sure He will continue to use 3ABN and Amazing Facts and the Hope Channel and many other methods to finish His work. What a priviledge that he would let us work with him in reaching a lost world.

I am convinced now that this interruption, beyond man's control, was probably God trying to tell us all that things were not right within the 3ABN ministry. One can believe what they want (and often do), but that is kind of like saying because someone gets a cold, they must not be following the health message. What happened was a mechanical failure on an old satellite. The satellite's estimated life is 12 to 14 years and it was 9 years old when it experienced the transponder failure. Saying it was God's will is like saying it was God's will that Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans. It is possible but not likely. And if it was God's will, why did He have to knock out Golden Eagle and Spirit Television too? I do not believe that the failure was God's will - not for one minute. It has hurt many ministries beyond 3ABN. However God was able to use this tragedy for good. As a result of the transponder failure, many Adventists have purchased the FTA dishes and now have not only 3ABN but also Hope and LLBN in their homes.

Stan, you have lost me on that one. I do not have the slightest idea as to what you have said in response to me.
Perhaps you could respond to me privately.
If you are responding publicly to any private e-mail converstions that you and I have had, then I am surprised.

I have a question is the VOD box the same as the satellite thing you can get from them? you know pay $199 and get the dish and the receiver then pay no subscription fee but get the 3ABN channels plus Loma Linda?? No. As the post described, this one uses your Internet connection and hooks up to your TV. OH ok sorry.... I missed that one but I see it now.

Why reply to a private email publicly anyway? Wouldn't it have been better to just make a blanket statement about what you are talking about?
i didn't email you except for fees, so the reply shouldn't be to me either. My question is, why was it made public?
