The Trinity Broadcast Network has suspended Hal Lindsey's International Intelligence Briefing for the month of December. Hal Linsey has stated on his website that TBN has said his show is too pro-Israel and too anti-Muslim.
Mr. Lindsey's show is one of three or four shows that I watch on a weekly basis, and I am very sad to hear this news! If you watch his show please write TBN and let respectfully ask that they bring Hal Lindsey back!!! Also pray for Hal who may be being attacked by the enemy. In fact, I'm pretty sure Jack Van Impe took a cheap shot at Hal Lindsey last week (though he didn't actually mention his name).

Shocking...but not really....SAD! I watch that show too whenever I get a chance. It scares me the way the Muslim religion is gaining a lot o momentum lately. I just shake me head.
What is happening? BIBLE PROPHECY PEOPLE....THAT is what is happening! Thanks for the post Scott, I'll be sure to write them. Will they be preaching from the Koran next week?
Now the christian network is pulling christian programming 
And because WHY.....????? 
You have got to be kidding me!
And because WHY.....????? You have got to be kidding me!
Its the road to compromise which is the road to disaster. People do not want to be persecuted, this is why they do this. Ironically, in the end the Lord will allow TBN to have its own plug pulled if they loose whatever salt they have left.
I heard the cheep shot too and was surprised by it.

[CODE][COLOR=red]This is sad and unbelievable! :angry: :angry:
Thanks for this post. I have also watched this program several times; whenever I am able to catch it on TBN.
Kindly post the referenced Hal Lindsey website on the Forum to enable me verify what you say personally.
It is not all TBN programs that I like; but for the sake of the programs I do like, I send my substantial yearly donations. Moreover, I know that on some programs, TBN always post a disclaimer before airing them; so I cannot understand why they will do what you say they have done to this program.
I need not write to TBN on the matter, I will simply stop sending my hard earned yearly donations to TBN, if what you say is verified to be true. If TBN wants to become a defender of muslims, they can do so by all means; but without my money involved.
We are at the stage of creation whereby all men and women have to make clear choices. Jesus Christ is coming back soon and I choose Jesus.[/COLOR]

Hal confirms all this on his website. So I will add my e-mail to the rest.
Here's the email l sent them (As if they care....)
I've eaten at this table for many years but since Kim threw the glass on the floor l've watched the change.
What you all saw and heard that day was different than what l saw and heard....
You have been weighed...by that l mean it's been a process...
He's not quick to do anything but if you won't defend Israel...I can only shake my head.
Hal Lindsey is a sinner but he speaks the truth and you silence him.....
but God will raise up others...I didn't like van impe's dig...
Kim is of your youngest son's doing and Paul you let it happen. Son's aren't always like their fathers.
I'm sorry,
Miki

I did go to Hal's sight to check that this was true before posting. The one thing I would like to know is who said that Jack Vanimpe said something about him? Did I miss that in the article about TBN taking of his show?
It was an innuendo on his show...
I copied and pasted the paragraph below from the web site.
I thought this would never happen on TBN.
Kim
The program this week addressed the tremendous political upheaval in Israel – including the toppling of the government – in the wake of the Gaza withdrawals. It warned about the peril the US faces if we pull out of Iraq and leave the perception that radical Islamic terrorists defeated the worlds only superpower.. A unique and dynamic exclusive interview that I was fortunate enough to conduct with Binyamin Netanyahu while in Jerusalem was also rejected from being aired on this week’s show.

Pat Robertson has a new addition to his show...
Now the dividing begins!

I am shocked by this and a bit freaked out. What is the world coming to. If we are going to become politically correct and compromise the gospel. God forbid.The West has its back against the wall because of trying not to offend anybody.I don't understand the reasoning behind all this although I do see the hand of satan in it. Somebody who cannot see, the Bible calls blind, we call them visually challenged.Same thing, just harder to say. But our human ego's tell us it is better.
So everybody is "Challenged" these days or "impaired" So the Muslims are?????? Christianly-challenged????
I feel angry. People on this forum including myself , sometimes battle for the soul of ONE person, and TBN will compromise and loose more than that....out of CHOICE!!!!!!! Because they feel sorry for the Muslims??
I better stop now....and breath. Sorry, but it grates me and all I stand for.

It's been building for a long time.
I was reading a post on a different forum from a poster who used to work at TBN. He worked in the mailroom, where they receive all the prayer request. What he had to say was not encouraging. It really was all about the money. Now I have no first hand knowledge or any way to verify this, but this was his first hand account, so it really makes me very cautious of TBN.

Thank you KD. I have email them asking for them to explain. I dont think they will respond to me but someone will read it.
I am also sending it to my contact on email and forwarding to all and ask them also to do the same.
I will also send John Hagee and some others that I watch on TBN a message that I will not be watching TBN anymore untill this is resolved. I will also let the minsters know that I am sending it to everyone I know.
I know I am just one person but so was David.

If you've sent them money believing that they would provide a Christian service , can you sue them for a breach of Fair Trade ?

I hate to say this Kansasdad but I think that I tend to believe this. Over the years TBN has become about the money. They set amounts on the telethon that they want you to send in saying "God says if you send in 1000.00 he will bless you, even if you don't have it pledge it!" If TBN does not turn from this doctorine I believe they will in time crumble. God wants us to have no other God before Him and I have always been bothered by the fact that TBN sends out the message that you are not blessed if you are not rich. Yes God will supply seed to the sower but it must be good ground. I once saw TBN as good ground but for years now have been led away from thinking that. All because I saw them putting money before God in my honest opinion. And I believe that this is not pleasing to God and if it continues many of this ministries will fall.
I am calling at 8:30 EST or 30 minutes form now. The number is 714- 832-2950 this is the business office. I will let them know I will not watch TBN and will let everyone I know about what has happen! I will also call my cable co. Will this do anything, NO but as Christains we cant be silent . We have to say something.

I called and it took around twenty for me to speak to a live person. I got out three sentences and the operator sent me to traffic control. I was told to leave a message so I did with my phone number.
I stated to them it it is correct why he was taken off then I would send email to all the Minsters I watch and by their books and tapes form that I would not be watching them any more and why.

What do you expect?
George W. Bush recently placed a koran in the "White House", feted muslims on their religious holidays, visited the buddahs in Japan with his wife in the name of culture before fellowshiping at China's "State Church" to preach religious freedom!! . The tides are fast changing in America and it is an ill wind.
Maybe TBN has become a "State Church" in America! Didn't someone post something about illuminati and the one world religion and how the Church is being infiltrated on this Forum the other time? This could all be part of the same game plan.
I am still waiting for the posting of that Hal website to confirm for myself and for my own necessary action. Please post the website on the Forum.
As for me, there is no need to write TBN. They may just delete the message without reading it, especially if it is not about donations.
It happened to me this year. I sent them an email to tell them that I wanted to send my yearly donations by another medium, since the normal medium was having prolonged transmission problems. I wanted them to confirm if the new medium I wanted to use was ok. I did not hear from them for almost two months, so I wrote a reminder, forwarding the original request. The "business" office confessed they had deleted my earlier email request in error without reading what it was about and that it was ok for me to use the new money transfer medium! That is why I do not put much stock in writing them.
Love of Christ.

Here is the web site.

There is a need to contact TBN. We as Christains have be silent many times and look what happens.
Alot of people dont attend church anywhere but on TBN.
THis is not about our president it is about CHRISTAINS. Are we to stand by and watch it happen. I for one will not. I can and will speak up. If enough speak up than maybe something will happen but if we dont than nothing happen. Do we not remember what happen to the Jew when Hilter came into power. We should have spoke up sooner. I for one will speak now.

I'm end the middle of emailing the minsters that I watch on TBN like John Hag. Jesse Du. I orders books and movies form them. If it is true than I will not watch anymore. I LOVE JEWISH PEOPLE

All I ask for is a the reason why and let me decide if I will watch again. This is what I ask over the phone and email to them. I also ask them to post it on their web site.

Great ideal Gr8ful. I have been on so many different web sites today like TBN, Hagee, Hal's and emailing also callling. Even if TBN would just state on their web site about why.

I am sad to hear this too.
I really liked Hal Lindsay's show.
I always felt he said it like it is and was keeping
us well informed.
I just sent money last month to TBN for six months worth.
Ever since I did, I haven't felt right about it.
I keep hearing God's voice in my ear saying just give that
money to those directly in need. Ones that I show you along the way.
I know why I have been feeling strange because God is showing me
something. We can go out and tell the Good news-we can give money
while we are on our journey of faith.
Kim,I agree we shouldn't always be silent. I think we should let them
know how we feel. It took just one woman in 1963 to take the
bible out of the classrooms. I often wonder how on earth did she
get away with that. I am tired of keeping silent and I do believe
when God moves you we have to act. There are times to be silent
and times to act.
I am sooooo tired of this politically correct crapola.
I want to do what is God correct- the God of Abraham, Jacob and Joseph
Oh Lord Jesus come.

Why are they trying to play it off instead of being open about it? I don't think Hal would just make this up...

"International Intelligence Briefing," and want to assure you that this is primarily for the
month of December, in order to air special Christmas programming. We fully
anticipate Hal's program will be back on the air after the Christmas season.
Why are they trying to play it off instead of being open about it? I don't think Hal would just make this up...
[right][snapback]26389[/snapback][/right]
Oh, I wonder What Kind of Stipulations they will give Hal...Maybe he can never mention the name Israel or Muslims.
I got this late last night after I went to bed. It is an autoreply.
I dont know if I will get another one. I will be looking for a reply on their web site from TBN if the minsters contact TBN.

URGENT PERSONAL MESSAGE from Hal
TBN Suspends IIB
While on my recent thrilling tour to Israel, I received a distinct warning from the Lord. This warning came at just the time the Lord was making me fully aware of the exponential increase in outreach my International Intelligence Briefing program on TBN has experienced in just this year.
Emails from all over the world continuously inform me of the people who regularly watch the IIB program. They share how many of their friends came to faith in Christ as a result of watching it. Several shared how they gather a group each week in their homes to watch the IIB program. Two different missionaries in Kenya said that they did this. Both reported that a number of young people have accepted Christ in these sessions.
Tourists, not only on my tour but also on many other tours in Israel, repeatedly stopped me to say that God has blessed them through IIB. He has used the program to make them aware of the certainty of prophecy and the soon coming of Christ. It has helped them to understand the complex perils that face our world today. Many Jews both in this and other countries also watch the program regularly.
I am continually stopped wherever I go by people who tell me the same things. And many who are not Christians (yet) watch the IIB show regularly. They say that they find the news reports to be unique and eye-opening by revealing information that other news sources either choose not to report – or are afraid to report.
It was in this light that God prompted me while in Jerusalem that Satan was going to attack my IIB ministry and me personally. I shared this with my wife and related my past experiences with Satan’s attacks at just the time God has used me most. So we prepared for spiritual warfare.
This warning proved to be accurate immediately after my return to the US. The International Intelligence Briefing has been removed from the air on TBN for the entire month of December (and perhaps never to be broadcast again?). Some at the network apparently feel that my message is too pro-Israel and too anti-Muslim. This is confusing to me because my message is the same as it has been for the entire twelve years of presenting the IIB program. It has not changed one iota.
The program this week addressed the tremendous political upheaval in Israel – including the toppling of the government – in the wake of the Gaza withdrawals. It warned about the peril the US faces if we pull out of Iraq and leave the perception that radical Islamic terrorists defeated the worlds only superpower.. A unique and dynamic exclusive interview that I was fortunate enough to conduct with Binyamin Netanyahu while in Jerusalem was also rejected from being aired on this week’s show.
The feeling must be that honestly reporting news on current issues concerning radical Islam is thwarting evangelism to Muslims at large, particularly Palestinians. I personally believe that both Christian Palestinians and moderate Muslims – who are being intimidated and persecuted by the radicals – actually welcome honest reporting on the situation.
The question I am compelled to ask is, “If we don’t tell the world the truth, then who will?” The government won’t. The mainstream media won’t. Foreign powers won’t. Al-Jazeera won’t. Of course, there can and will always be disagreements about style and aesthetics in programming. But I can’t understand how any Christian that is aware of the dangers radical Islam poses to our nation, Christians worldwide and the nation of Israel can issue a mandate to soft-pedal the truth about it.
Not only do Christians need to hear the truth, but also nations and their leaders need to hear. Young people who are being seduced by our liberal anti-God Universities and the media into believing lies need to hear the unvarnished truth. The prevailing ignorance about Fundamental Islam also affects our ability to resist Satan’s attacks and our ability to effectively share Christ with those who are deceived by Islam. Our ability to intercede wisely for our nation, our families and Israel are all based on our access to accurate information. And that’s the kind of information I have conscientiously and prayerfully sought to disseminate through the Holy Spirit’s power over the International Intelligence Briefing for the past twelve years.
As the Bible predicted would happen in the days just before Christ’s return, Israel is hated by almost the entire world. I believe there never has been a time when Christians need to support Israel’s right to exist within secure borders more than now. God has vowed, “He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her.” Not standing with Israel against her avid enemies today is like being silent when the NAZIS took the Jews and exterminated them in their death camps. This I cannot and will not do.
This concern has been at the center of my message from the beginning of my prophetic ministry 47 years ago. Israel is God’s timepiece. If you want to know what time it is on God’s prophetic clock, watch what He is doing with Israel. The Bible’s prophetic scenario indicates that Israel is near its date with destiny. God also warns the nations surrounding Israel that they are going to be catastrophically judged for seeking to thwart His predicted will to restore Israel to its ancient homeland that was once and for all given to them by His Divine oath.
Ezekiel directly predicted the situation we see in the Land of Israel today. And he warned the ‘surrounding nations’, which are all Muslim today. This is what he predicted, “Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom (Arab people), who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for a prey. Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, ‘Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations.’ Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘I have sworn that surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their insults. But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come.’” (Ezekiel 36:5-8 NAS) Israel has come home and the desolate land has responded to them with miraculous fertility. Now the surrounding Muslim nations are seeking to cast them out again. All this is being fulfilled before our eyes.
Islam stands in direct defiance of God’s predicted purpose. The Koran declares that the Jews added prophetic passages like the one above and they are therefore false. But if they are false, why are they so accurately being fulfilled? Even many Arab Christians do not want to accept these clear Biblical statements. The fact that they have been in the Holy Land for a few centuries as usurpers does not annul the irrevocable title deed God gave to the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
It is for this reason I have so adamantly continued to explain prophecy and expose current Muslim schemes to destroy the nation of Israel. With Martin Luther, I feel compelled to say that it is here I stand. God help me, I cannot do otherwise than to fulfill His Divine calling. The Muslims who reject God’s sovereign purposes with Israel wouldn’t believe the Gospel anyway.
Make no mistake; I deeply love the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I have been intimately involved with this incredible worldwide ministry for over three decades. Actually from its very beginning. More than most, I know and appreciate the tremendous sacrifices its founders made to build it. I deeply appreciate the platform TBN has given me in years past. I honestly believe there are few organizations in operation today that can play as great a role in the end-time harvest as TBN. I truly believe TBN’s greatest days could be yet to come.
So in this hour of crisis, I need your prayers and your support. I live by faith. I believe that those of you who have been blessed by my ministry will continue to invest in my calling and make it possible for me continue to spread this desperately needed prophetic warning that very few are proclaiming. The decision makers at TBN also need your prayers. This could be a disastrous turn in their ministry. God will not be mocked in the things that He makes clear are precious to Him.
God bless you and reward you for your prayers and faithful support.
Hal Lindsey
This is the promise the Lord directed me to claim:
‘“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,’ declares the LORD.” (Isaiah 54:17 NIV) Combat faith is now on.

I have been on some other forums this morning and they are putting on the topics about TBN. I will be watching to see what happens.

WOW!!! We sure can see the Spirit of Anti-Christ here more and more..Now we even see the Spirit of Anti-Christ on TBN not only that (IT) is making decisions!!!!!
I am shocked that an organization that professes the name of Jesus would take any person that is pro-Israel off the air! I am afraid that the children of the light might not be running things at TBN. Thank you for calling attention to this. I would normally set this program to record on my DVR and watch later. I would be looking for Hal and be confused. I already wrote to TBN. Thanks, again.
• TBN Admits Concern About Offending Muslims
• Admits IIB Dropped For 'Placing Arabs in Negative Light'
After insisting the pre-emption of Hal Lindsey's television show had nothing to do with content, a Trinity Broadcasting Network spokesman retracted his statement, admitting officials were concerned, at least secondarily, about offending Arabs and Muslims. John Casoria, TBN general counsel, initially responded, "That is absolutely, 100 percent false." But now, after talking with network programming officials, he says a secondary reason for pre-empting the show was that it "placed Arabs in a negative light."

Hal Lindsey
After insisting the pre-emption of Hal Lindsey's television show had nothing to do with content, a Trinity Broadcasting Network spokesman retracted his statement, admitting officials were concerned, at least secondarily, about offending Arabs and Muslims. As WorldNetDaily reported, John Casoria, general counsel for the network, responded yesterday to Lindsey's contention that the weekly program "International Intelligence Briefing" had been canceled for December, and possibly permanently, because its message was deemed "too pro-Israel and too anti-Muslim."
Casoria initially replied, "That is absolutely, 100 percent false."
But now, after talking with network programming officials, he says a secondary reason for pre-empting the show was that it "placed Arabs in a negative light."
The overwhelming reason, he still insists, is TBN requires all its programming during December to have a Christmas theme.
"When a programmer chooses not to do so, they are pre-empted so that TBN can focus its attention on the holidays," Casoria said. "Hal is very well aware of this."
Casoria said a "letter generally goes out to all the programmers letting them know this is the case," pointing out at least 20 other programs have been pre-empted because they didn't have a Christmas theme.
But Lindsey told WND this was the first time he had been pre-empted for the entire month of December, noting his program previously had been replaced only the week before Christmas.
He also pointed out TBN had him come in Tuesday to tape this week's show but informed him afterward, "through the chain of command," to stop production because they didn't like the script.
Lindsey, a WND columnist, said he has to drive 130 miles to the network's studios in Orange County, California, to record the show.
Casoria said he could not recall specific examples from Lindsey's programs that were anti-Arab or anti-Muslim, but he expressed the network's concern about how Muslims are portrayed.
"TBN is a worldwide ministry; we have an entire channel that airs 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Arabic," he said. "We are trying to reach the Islamic world and open a dialogue with them regarding Christ and Christianity."
Casoria explained, "We do not feel that the best witness of Christ is to bash them but rather to show them the nature of Christ – the way Christ said to present himself – and that is through love, understanding and the presentation of the gospel to them."
Lindsey argued, however, his program is not shown in the Middle East.
"My show is produced for the Western world and for Christians who are at the most risk from radical Islam," he said.
Lindsey said that in the show that was canceled this week, he made a clear distinction between Muslims seeking jihad and those who want only a job and normal life for their families.
"I cast radical Muslims in a bad light," he said, "showing how they are intimidating and persecuting moderate Muslims in the Middle East."
Casoria said he believes the extremists are not Muslims at all but have "hijacked the religion."
As a Christian, he sees Islam as a false religion – believing there is only one way to God, through Jesus Christ – but he says Islam basically is peaceful.
"That's where we violently disagree," Lindsey said. "Islam is not a peaceful religion; although there may be moderate Muslims, it's because they have not become followers of the Quran."
Lindsey said in a message to supporters on his website that TBN's decision is "confusing to me because my message is the same as it has been for the entire 12 years of presenting the IIB program. It has not changed one iota."
Asked to respond, Casoria said, speaking personally, "Hal Lindsey's program has clearly changed over the last 12 years, as has Hal Lindsey."
"If you look at his earlier writings and you look at what he writes today, there is definitely a hard edge," he said. "That's my personal feeling."
Lindsey responded, "I doubt if he's read anything I've ever written."
"If there is any hard edge to what I'm saying now, it's post 9-11, when the threat from radical Islam has became readily apparent," Lindsey said. "It's been since that time that my program has soared in the ratings."
After the program didn't turn up in its usual Wednesday time slot, viewers began contacting the network, and by yesterday afternoon, a flood of calls had shut down the switchboard, Lindsey said.
Casoria said "International Intelligence Briefing" would be back on the air in January, but Lindsey claims he was told the show's future would be discussed in the new year.
Asked to respond, Casoria said, "If that statement was made by Hal Lindsey, I think it's a little paranoia on his part."
Casoria said Lindsey and TBN chief Paul Crouch, who founded the network with his wife Jan, have been friends for a long time.
"I'm sure these very reasonable men can resolve these issues," said Casoria, a nephew of the Crouches.
Lindsey said he has "no axe to grind."
I've been happy with my opportunities at TBN," he said. "I'm happy with the platform I've had."

I am so upset over this and I dont know what to do about it.
There is alot of people that cant or will not attend any form of church service. TBN is all they have and know they have decided to be PC. When was Christ PC or John the the Baptist. What can we do as a group here on the forum to at least voice our selves?
Any one got a suggestion?

Some one is not telling the TRUTH here.

We have received your e-mail regarding the preemption of Hal Lindsey's
program,
"International Intelligence Briefing," and want to assure you that this is
primarily for the
month of December, in order to air special Christmas programming. Â We
fully
anticipate Hal's program will be back on the air after the Christmas
season.
We do hope that your Christmas holidays will be blessed beyond measure, as
you
continue to do God's will and grow in Him.
God bless you!
