Check out the May 3 issue of TV GUIDE, p. 20. There's a picture of Hudson Leick (Celeste on TBAA, Callisto on Xena) in full regalia as that naughty girl, Callisto! I'm wondering if they called her "Celeste" on TBAA on purpose. . .notice the similarities in the two names! Plus, "Celeste" has a definite "heavenly" quality to it. BTW, I think Hudson did a great job in "Labor of Love," too. . .that's one of my favorite TBAA eps! It shows the versatility of the actress, in that she's able to play both a "baddie" and a "goodie" so effectively. I like the addition of Paul Winfield (Sam) to some of the TBAA storylines occasionally, too. However, I will have to agree with the majority of the listmembers that I don't want these extra "angels" as regulars on the show. There's already a special "magic" with our own "angel trio." If it ain't broke. . .don't fix it! Love to all. . .and miles of smiles! :) Darla ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 1997 10:14:53 -0500 (CDT) From: Darla Bradley To: tbaangel @ . .addy.com Subject: Tess's "Wee Doggie" again. . . Hi everybody! It's *still* bugging me that Tess's "wee doggie" doesn't have a name yet! (I *still* think they should name him "Jazz!") Susan, could you ask John sometime if they've got any plans to name the little critter? I'm more fond of cats, m'self. . .but he *is* kinda cute! Thanks! Love to all. . .and miles of smiles!

At least the order. :) The Nine Choirs of Angels: Seraphim Cherubim Thrones Dominations Virtues Powers Principalities Archangels Angels For the record, Jesus said himself "Marriage is for people here on earth....when those get to heaven...they do not marry. And they never die again; in these respects they are like angels, and are sons of God, for they are raised up in new life from the dead." (Luke 21:34-36 "The Living Bible") It can be interpeted in the above verses that Jesus means there are no "babies" in heaven. Never is it said in the Bible that cherabims are "baby angels", that was a practice started by the Renassince artists. It is, however, the Catholic Church's belief that all angels were created either before or during the act of Creation. >For those really interested, there is a fabulous article >in the 12/27/93 (v142 n27) issue of Time. It does a good job >of covering the angel craze then revving up in North >America and human beliefs about angels. I must say, this is exactly what I am worried about. I do love to watch TBAA, and I do have an interest in angels, but NEVER should we love angels more than God. "Then I fell down to worship him, but he said 'No! Don't! For I am a servent of God just as you are, and as your brother Christians are...Worship God." (Revelation 20:10 "The Living Bible"). The "angel craze" has truly become a craze. Almost a cult. People are "worshipping" angels by reading books on "how to talk to your angel", and by buying all sorts of angel "things". People are making angels into a religion, and this is wrong. The only angels who are listening to them are Satan and his angels, in fact, this is what the Dark Angels wish - to be made as God. You have no idea how troubled my heart is when I go to the bookstore and see only precious few good angel books, and countless evil ones. An interest in angels is fine, I believe they like to be acknowledged, and I have nothing against all the angel talk on this list. That *is* what the list is here for. :) But, like all things, too much is bad for you. >A few eyewitness accounts in it that will make TBAA fans >cry just as effectively as last week's episode. >(That one went straight to the top my list!) As for this, I also love to read about eyewitness accounts. However, keep in mind that do we really know that these were "angels" and not God appearing as an angel? This is what I do not like about some accounts. They seem to praise the "angel who saved me!" rather than consider that is was *God* who saved them. The angels are just messengers, they do what God commands. Nothing more, nothing less. Unto the One who sits on the throne Unto the Lamb May all blessings and honor Glory and power and praise All Creation sing!

I don't know if we have any angel worshipers on the list, but I for one, concede you this point. If fact, there is a verse in the Koran where God bade the angels prostrate themselves before man, as God considers man (people... sorry, girls) his greatest creation. >The "angel craze" has truly become a craze.

I know it from first hand experience. When I was shocked out of sci fi, I felt I needed to grab unto something much more than I was. God was it, only I still did not feel him even when i was going to church or singing in the choir. I did not experience his presence and peace. I did not hear anything from him, either. When I started to watch TBAA, my heart and soul did a 180, and it kept me from going off the deep end, only to find myself going to another craze, which God did not intend me to go to. Oh, it's fine to talk about his servants, but I came too close to worship them, and to learn how to talk to them. I read a few books on the subject of communications. One of them seemed syrupy, the other gut level. One thing I learned from it that it does not work for me. My gut kept doing flip flops. Only thing this is, it seemed quiet when watching TBAA. But, that, too, can do flip flops in my gut. You see, we worthsip God in all his splendor, not his children or creations. That was one of the commandments listed. No engraven images, no stones, no anything that denies God his glory. Even worshipping a tv show can do some damage. Star Trek was one for me. I did worshipped it. I was a die-hard trek fanatic. Now I am just a man trying to get out from all this cult stuff, trying to find my way to God, and with God. TBAA is not the thing to worship,nor the actors and actresses, nor of anything that is not God. God split us to worship him in many ways. I don't know, maybe TBAA is one, but I doubt it. I get good messages, but if I listen to him, I get excellent messages there, too. Just my two cents worth. Rats, now I am broke! ;) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Apr 97 13:27:11 -0500 From: pstarkey @ . .law.addy.edu To: , Subject: Re: PREEMPTED II THE SEQUEL I would think that is your own CBS affiliate, not CBS as a whole. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: PREEMPTED II THE SEQUEL Author: at INTERNET Date: 4/30/97 1:12 PM OK, now I REALLY hate the Sonics.

I meant the books that try to make you think that you can make them *answer*. I saw one book that said if you did blah,blah,blah you could make your angel do whatever you wanted. I *definatly* don't believe that, and I pray that the people who were misled by it have found the truth. Another book said that if you did this and that, you could harness the power of the angels in your life. Horrible books. Straight from the devil IMHO. >>The only angels who are listening to them are >>Satan and his angels, in fact, this is what the Dark Angels wish - to be >>made as God. >> >>An interest in angels is fine, I believe they like to be acknowledged, > >You just said they aren't listening. See above. Sorry I didn't make myself more clear. :) Truly, I think they love to hear us talk to them. And perhaps they do "answer" in a way. If you do the right thing or make a correct decision, I think they are the ones that give you that "that was all right" feeling. I do NOT believe, this is where I disagree with the above books, that they can or would tell us what to do. God gave us free will, what we do is up to us. Because I believe this, I cannot believe that angels will answer questions about the future without being a hypocrite. >> >>As for this, I also love to read about eyewitness accounts.

(A lot like Lourdes). Oh, I agree totally with you. There are always nut cases, but I believe at least some of them are real.

That is what is wrong. Like I said, I think the angels are interested in us. :) You have to admit, we're pretty interesting creatures! >(Have mercy, Jenn, You know I don't do this very often!)

HI everyone, It looks like hiatus will begin somewhere in the neighborhood of May 10th..and go through mid-July. According to next week's TV Guide, Claire sees the Angel of Death (John Dye) and thinks that someone she knows is going to die. So it looks like John will be the only angel on PL. - Tuesday, May 4th..... The Mother's Day Special with Roma Downey (& hopefully Reilly) will air May 9th at 7:00 p.m. central time, and will last 1 hour. Susan on to ratings.... HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - ABC's first big gun of the May sweeps, the three-part miniseries Stephen King's ``The Shining,'' fired a blank Sunday night, while Fox and CBS prospered. CBS won Sunday with a 15.4 rating and 23 share, according to Nielsen data from the top 37 ``metered markets.'' CBS' smart counterprogramming with the made-for-TV movie ``A Match Made in Heaven'' averaged a 15.7/23 in that hour and ended up being the highest-rated TV movie this season. CBS's ``Touched by an Angel'' flew to a 16.1/24 in the 8-9 p.m. hour while NBC's ``Third Rock From the Sun'' averaged a 10.7/16 from 8:15 to 8:45 (the sitcom started late because the NBA's playoffs.) Reuters/Variety 08:09 04-29-97 NEW YORK (Reuter) - ABC's "Pop" plan plotzed, Stephen King's "The Shining" got crushed by an angel - NBC led prime time television viewer ratings for the week April 21-27, with six of its shows, led by hospital drama series ER, crowding the top 10 spots, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday. CBS, with three shows in the top 10, had a 10.0 rating and 19 share. CBS's three shows in the top 10 were: ``Touched by an Angel'' (No. 4), ``CBS Sunday Movie'' (No. 6) and ``Walker, Texas Ranger'' (No. 10.).

Jenn Harmer: Hey, fellow media person :) ! I studied some of the same things you are, and I think you have a good point about the "mothers" scene in "Volunteers". I didn't really think about it at first, but now that a few people have pointed it out, including you, I now see how this scene didn't really fit - it should have been longer. Perhaps, it was there in order to establish how "Jason's" mother felt about her son? Just a thought. You were one up on me about the continuity in the "fishing" scene in "Secret Service" :) ! I didn't notice it. Congrats :) ! Hmmm...I think the original question concerning "child angels" on the show has been overlooked. From what I understood, whomever (sorry, can't recall who, now) asked the question, wanted to know why couldn't there be a child angel on the show to help another child on the show. Makes sense to me - "Monica" and the other angels are adults in human form to help adults, mostly (sometimes, they do help children), so why couldn't there be a "child" to help a child? Amilyn also had a good point about the show having it's own "cannon" of rules. Within the show's boundries, I should think this would be perfectly acceptable. Someone else suggested that one of the three angels could help supervise the "child" angel. Sounds perfectly plausible to me. All of this is JMHO, of course :) . Well, the volunteering ep seems to have lit a fire under some people, but I thought that was the whole point, IMHO. I think Martha would be pleased to know that the episode made it's point. So would Colin Powell :) . I agree that TBAA is a "feel - good" show. Yes, it's not always perfect, but what I love about this show is the fact that it is such an uplifting show, overall. It brings a "message of hope", as some of the program's stars have said. Again, JMHO :) . Thank - you, Diana, for "The New York Times" article info. What issue did you find the article in, exactly? Thanks :) ! I'll go to the lib. to look. Poor Kevin Brown. Preempted, again! Well, I hope you get to see both shows next week, and this Thursday's repeat, if you haven't seen it already :) !!!!

On the thought of child angels, I think we are all thinking to small. Remember God is not restricted by our preconceptions of what He can do. He can do anything. Someone (forgive for not remembering the sender) stated it does not say that children can be angels. I do not want to start a full fledged battle on this issue but from what I remember, neither does it say He doesn't have child angels. How old was the Archangel Michael?

I find myself going off the deep end too at times. It is important for me personally to always remember that God gets all the glory. Because he is worthy. However, I would like to point out that the story does do a good job at that as well. Monica, Tess and Andrew are always pointing their assignments to the Lord. Infact, last weeks ep with Ben Verene, Monica did just that when her assigment(that woman who was the secret service person...I don't remember her name right now) began complaining about her not knowing what she should decide and what would happen in the future if she gave her new friend her kidney. Monica said...and I love this, "I'm only an angel, I am not God." So I have to agree with you there. It is important to not worship anyone or any show. However, I must say this, whenever I do watch the show, it always causes me to worship God and give him thanks for who he is and all that he does for us...Even sending an angel into ourlives every Sunday night at 8:00. It is an encouraging show and that's why I think it is such a huge success. I really do think God has His Angels watching over the show.
