Post PAX TV network

My wife noticed a Mary Higgins Clark movie was showing tonight on the PAX network.

Locally, the affiliate is a Christian station, WSFJ (Winning Souls For you know who).

Well, the premise of the story is that a lady is the only witness to a murder. So she goes into the witness protection program. She is therefore, living a lie. Isn't this a good example of situational ethics? Shouldn't a christian station be showing us stories which present an absolutism theme?

And to top it off, they just had a Hanes for Her commercial. Lovely young lady in a brassiere and panties.

Do any of you have any local christian stations that are willing to compromise good christian values like this one? Are all PAX affiliates christian stations?

I love those commercials!!!

I don't watch much TV and I abhor xtian stations.

I think they probably would justify the movie's situation with "it's OK because she's ultimatly doing the right thing." or some such hand waving type thing.

I doubt they even think about that sort of thing anyway.
