This is easily a sign of the 4 Horsemen.

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Here! TV, a supplier of gay- and lesbian-oriented content to satellite customers via pay-per-view, is eyeing an October 1 lauch for a round-the-clock programming service that will feature classic and original films and TV shows.

As part of its pledge to produce more than 200 hours of original programming a year, Here! TV has given the go-ahead to 12 original movies and four original series.

The Here! TV original series include "Dante's Cove," a gay and lesbian Gothic horror thriller currently filming in the Caribbean, and "Weapons of Mass Destruction," a spy thriller starring Cynthia Rothrock as a lesbian action hero.

Its slate of original movies includes "Deadly Skies," about a colonel thrown out of the military because of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy who saves the world from a killer asteroid; "The Sisterhood," a female version of Dave Decoteau's "Brotherhood"; "Too Cool for Christmas," a comedy about a teen and her two dads; and the thriller "Snowman's Pass."

Additionally, Here! TV has inked licensing deals with TLA Releasing, Wolfe Video, Strand Releasing and Regent Worldwide Sales for 200 gay and lesbian independent film titles.

The company also will introduce a subscription video-on-demand service consisting of 30 hours per month beginning June 1 and will make the three- to six-hour pay-per-view slate currently on DirecTV and EchoStar available to cable operators via VOD or PPV.

All Here! TV services will be offered on a revenue-share basis with satellite providers adding the channel to their platform as a pay-per-view service, in four-hour programming blocks or on a monthly subscription basis

Why is this a sign of the end of the world? We have over 20 cooking channels, networks just for women and networks just for men, and even a freaking tennis channel? Who's to say that gays and lesbians don't deserve their own niche market?

I think Bush is a much better case for the end of the world

How is this a sign of the end of the world?

If anything, it's a great thing!

God states in the Bible that homosexuality is wrong, he does not state that Bush is a sin.

the fact that this homosexual network makes enaugh money to stay on the air is a sign of the pervertion of our culture.

The Bible states that usury is a sin. Thus, banks are sinful. But we don't try to close banks down, do we?

I suggest you follow TRA's advice. The Bible is widely interpreted to say just about anything. It's got some good guidelines for living well. It mentions homosexuals in a few places, though not very prominently. That was in there most likely as a reaction of an early Hebrew culture to something it saw as different (i.e. homosexuality). A channel geared to homosexuals is not a sign of an upcoming Apocalypse. A real sign of the apocalypse is the increase in global temperature, signifying global climate change. Another good one is the amount of funding devoted to finding killer asteroids, comets, and other NEOs (Near Earth Objects) before they kill us: that is to say, there is almost no money allocated. That's a real problem. A homosexual-oriented TV channel is just the natural course of events. Get over it.

Religious nutters, of various types, have been predicting the end of the world for literally thousands of years. The more extreme have even done there bit to help make it happen (e.g. japanese subway attacks).

One day, without doubt, the world will in fact end.

But it will most probably be merely that our own neighbourhood star simply runs out of hydrogen. Of course, we could be cleaned up by a meteorite or comet, but that appears considerably less likely.

4 Horseman? A tale to frighten children, similar to the bogeyman.

The Bible states that usury is a sin. Thus, banks are sinful. But we don't try to close banks down, do we?

It does? I've always felt that was a matter of personal interpretation.

You can interperet anything from the Bible...just like Nostradamus's quatrains.

The place in the bible where Homosexuality is listed as a crime (Leviticus) also lists such crimes as: eating meat and cheese on the same plate, touching a woman on her period, being a woman on her period, and a host of similar trivial impurities. During the time, if someone was unpure, a Jewish Priest woud simply clense them, and thus they would be allowed into the temple.

Failure to comply would not result in sinful acts, due to the fact that it broke none of the mortal sins, i.e. the 10 commandments.

And don't even get me started on the book of Revelations.

In short, do some research before you claim the bible says homosexuality is a sin, and thus a precursor of the apocolypse.

Have you ever actually read the bible? technically you can't even go to the toilet. :lol:

Get of God's case, it's not his fault he could not grasp the true depths of human evil and ignorance.

He did burn a bush? Maybe thats a sign :twisted:

Well... the bible said something about stoning homosexuals. So, it's the end of their personal world. Hard to re-interpret that.

I know a gay person who agrees with that.

All homosexuals should get stoned!

Damn right. I'm a homosexual who gets regularly stoned out of my own free will. Sometimes I even roll the joints myself :D

If only homosexuality was a choice.

Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them.

1). When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

2). I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3). I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual cleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

4). Leviticus 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

5). I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

6). A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is a abomination of Leviticus 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

7). Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8). Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Leviticus 19:27. How should they die?

9). I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10). My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev. 24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14).

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan,
Jim.
