Yeah, that part I always wait to go away ... I watch the episodes in
English
(I'm in Germany, but Switzerlands TV which I have via cable gives me two
audio channels, dubbed and original, to choose) and I hardly ever
understand
what this police part is about.

I'm not sure if I know TBAA ... As a "liberal evangelical" theologian
(according to German measures, quite conservative, for US measures medium
liberal, I think) I have to say, this "God appearances" in JOA are quite
not
comaptible with Christian faith - but who cares: it's a tv show! The Buffy
demonology isn't Christian either ...
I'm absolutely strict about what to believe and what's right and wrong to
do
as a Christian, but I love fantasy books and fantasy tv shows ... it's
just
entertainment! I'll never understand why there are Christian people so
frightened of things who are clearly stated to be fictional and never
intended to ****tray reality. Had lots of discssions about Harry Potter ...
Christ sais he "has overcome the world" (John 16:33).
