Interesting, if disappointing, emotional PoMo blurt.

What if she'd actually thought through Jason Janz' (she misspells his name) very carefully documented, well thought out writing, and dealt with his thoughts and facts, rather than her feelings about his thoughts and facts?

A different perspective here and here.

So you believe in only hiring perfect, "pure" people?

I read one of your essays, and you seem much too concerned with how the MSM will perceive the film and christians viewing it. I'm surprised you care. Do you actually do this much research into everyone you hire and pay, and every single company you hand your dollars to? You certainly took the time to do research into the background of the actors. I take it you watch NO television at all, and completely turn off the MSM....yet you implicitly know how the MSM will deal with all of this and more importantly....how the rest of us will react to the news.

Your source did not vett his information...perhaps he did not want to weaken his campaign against the movie by recounting his incorrect information. He continues to repeat that "the company knew about Chad beforehand," despite the fact that he has been corrected multiple times. I don't trust someone who is unwilling to correct himself and to make the truth known.

I wonder if he has spent as much time praying for Chad as he has campaigning against this movie that depicts so powerfully depicts Gods love, forgiveness, reconciliation.

Thank-you Dan for being here at FR and speaking truth.

I am so thankful and relieved reading your posts about this...

..I thought I was the only one bothered by Chad Allen protraying Nate and Steve Saint...

..I even stayed away from discussion of this movie, when it was being promoted on various threads, because I didn't want to color someone's opinion or heart if they were an unbeliever and this movie had impacted them for the good.

But now I read that someone has spoken up....it's out there now....and I have to add my voice!

I was heartbroken when I read Chad Allen was the actor playing Steve and Nate Saint.

For years, I have drawn courage and inspiration from Jim and Elisabeth Elliot and the Saints and others who in love and faith witnessed to those people and the five who were martyred.

I had high hopes when I first heard about the movie...

..and was so disappointed when I realized Allen had been chosen to play such an important role.

I kept wondering...How did this happen?....

..Did Steve Saint have no imput in this decision?

It's not as if Allen has tried to hide his sexual expression....it's that he's an avowed, active homosexual....Google him and it's very clear where he stands on this issue.

So I was caught in the agony of ...Did Steve Saint know this from the beginning?

...and Where is Steve Saint's integrity, conscience and spiritual awareness???????????

I cannot support or watch this movie.
..and here it is following Brokeback Mountain!--(what a coincidence???)

Anyway, thanks again Dan.....God bless you!

I have to wonder what Elisabeth Elliot thinks about this...?

..and I will have to go read James Dobson's review and ...I believe World magazine reviewed it positively.

Do they not know??....

I have to belive Dobson didn't know....I don't think he would endorse it if he did/

Jason Janz seems to be reconsidering his arguements. See his website http://www.sharperiron.org/
