 It has been my understanding (although Ineither own, nor watch TV)
 that Jesus name preaching has all but been censores out of television!

Hoiw did I know you would dance around the issue with that very argument!
 You KNOW that this is not the point; you KNOW that you have completely
evaded the point.  The point is this. TV and radio and publishing censors
have determined that certain language is considered off-color and therefore
not appropriate for "family" consumption.  It's reserved for "adults only."
 And in too many cases, our Apostolic language has degenerated to the point
that it would be considered rated PG-13 or rated R, and thus not acceptable
as "family fare."  And the fact that so many here would DEFEND that language
is bothersome.  Holiness DOES mean "separation," folks!  So if we use all
manner of street language, how is our speech being "separated" from the rank
sinner's?
