Hi Joynetters, A very happy feast to all of you.. I wasnt surprised when i read this sharing by our friend jeni. Have u ever visited the site www.jesus .com u will be scandalized.. anyway..The reason for the Bleeping of the name " Jesus" is very simple.. Most of the Businesses in the USA are run by Jehovahs Witnesses and/or by Jews.. who obviously wouldnt want that name to be spoken or heard.. So they try all they can in the name of freedom of speech and religion to prevent the usage of the same. It is ironic to note that just like india has a motto " Satyameva jayathe" which means " truth always triumphs" the Motto of USA is " In God We trust.."and most of their actions actually proves that they do not live by their motto. Anyway we can only pray for them.. Love and Prayers Ravi

HERE IS THE NEWSPAPER AS FOLLOWS: 'JESUS' Bleeped NY Post ABC edited the word "Jesus" out of a recent broadcast so viewers wouldn't be offended. But it seems to have had the opposite effect. The bleeped "Jesus" on "The View" has drawn the ire of the Rev. Jerry Falwell, some conservative media watchdogs and even the women whose on-air conversation was altered. "It is political correctness run amok," said Elizabeth Swasey, spokeswoman for the Media Research Center. On the May 23 edition of "The View," Meredith Vieira noted that the daily weigh-ins of her dieting co-host, Joy Behar, had ended. "Yes, and thank you, thank you, Jesus, is all I have to say," Behar replied. Her words were aired live in much of the country, but when ABC broadcast a taped version of the show on the West Coast, "Jesus" was edited out. ABC spokeswoman Julie Hoover said the use ran afoul of a pretty clear standard. The network has no problem with Jesus Christ's name if it is used in a "prayerful and respectful manner," she said. (ABC's Peter Jennings anchored a highly rated news special, "The Search For Jesus," in July 2000.) But ABC does not allow Jesus' name to be used in an exclamation. "Under the circumstances, we were concerned it would be offensive to our audience," Hoover said. The incident comes at a time broadcasters in general are pushing the boundaries of language and content. Expletives rarely allowed on the networks were used this year, for instance, on a May "ER" episode on NBC and on CBS' special using video from inside the World Trade Center. Five days after the Behar incident, hosts of "The View" noted they had received about 100 letters of complaint. "It was stupid to beep that," co-host Star Jones said. "They let us say all kinds of things on TV, but they beep Jesus? That makes no sense." Falwell, in a newspaper column, said: "Conservative Catholics and evangelical Christians are expected to accept this double standard and keep our mouths shut." END THIS NEWS PAPER ARTICAL IS PROOF THAT SATAN TRYS VERY HARD TO HUSH THE NAME OF JESUS, THE ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE ARE SAVED. SINCE THE NAME JESUS IS THE BASIS AND ONLY PATH TO HEAVEN, WOULDN'T THE DEVIL TRY EXTRA HARD TO MAKE THE NAME SEEM BAD LIKE A SWEAR WORD ON TELEVISION, OR PUT IT INTO DAILY SWEAR WORDS (ALL OVER TELEVISION, MOVIES, DAILY LIVES YOU CAN HEAR PEOPLE USING JESUS'S NAME IN VAIN AND GOD'S NAME IN VAIN AND THINK NOTHING OF IT, IT SEEMS TO ALMOST COME NATURALLY). THE DEVIL FINDS WAYS TO HURT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVN'T FULLY ACCEPTED CHRIST BY HIDING THE POWER OF AND MAKING THEM DISPRESECT JESUS' NAME. IN CHRIST JENI **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
