The reality show “Sister Wives,” which showcases an actual polygamist family – a husband with four “wives” and sixteen children – returned for another season on the cable television network, TLC. Thumbing its nose at traditional marriage and family, TLC purposely timed the first episode of this new season to air on Mother’s Day.
We began monitoring “Sister Wives” when it premiered nearly two years ago and quickly saw how polygamy was positively portrayed – swaying undiscerning viewers with the sympathetic plea for acceptance for “the poor, misunderstood polygamists” – depicting this aberrant lifestyle as just a “normal” family. The ‘family’ featured in “Sister Wives” goes to great lengths to present the so-called benefits of plural marriage, trying to shake the stigma of polygamy and portray group marriage as acceptable.
One of the major sponsors of this week’s episode of “Sister Wives” was the S.C. Johnson Company, advertising their products Windex, Raid, and Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner. You might recognize the tagline S.C. Johnson uses at the end of their commercials – “S.C. Johnson, A family company.” Is polygamy the type of “family” they support? Their advertising seems to indicate the answer is yes.
Other sponsors include: Duncan Hines, Hershey’s, Burger King, Ford, PepsiCo products (Sierra Mist and Quaker Oats), Centrum vitamins, Arm & Hammer, Advil, Bissell, and Ford.

Chuck Colson was speaking at his own conference which was called “Breaking the Spiral of Silence” when he grew ill and was taken to a nearby hospital near Landover, Maryland. He was hospitalized with a brain hemorage. This was on March 30. Fighting for his very life, though there were moments where it looked like he may recover, he went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, April 21.
The conference was taped for the very purposes of distributing it throughout our embattled land. Colson and others wanted to continue to motivate, stir and encourage the body of Christ to have their hearts inflamed for His great service who would then do their utmost to get others informed about the issues that confront us and our families in this embattled America.
We are making this DVD presentation (2 hours) available for just the cost of mailing.

Ten weeks ago ABC/Disney premiered the much hyped “GCB” – otherwise known as “Good Christian B—ches.” Each of the 10 episodes made mockery of the Bible, of Christ, and of believers. ABC pulled out all the stops to ensure GCB’s success – giving the show a prime spot in the lineup following two shows with a large viewership, airing tons of provocative promotions, using a fawning, lap dog industry of entertainment writers and commentators who praised the show as the best thing since sliced bread. ABC heralded the show as the next “Desperate Housewives” and had high expectations that “GCB” would draw huge ratings.
Well, something happened that foiled their plans. YOU happened! Over the weekend it was announced that “GCB” was cancelled! There will not be a second season for this show that broke new ground in its ridicule of Christianity.
