Their Work Is Theirs--II

Have said a number of times in the past that churches are supposed to be a help to society; but the members of churches are part of the society we live in! If there are issues which concern our society generally, even church members may not have a firm grasp of them--if they've been influenced by society. One advantage of TV and movies is that they're usually seen by large numbers of the public. *** Unless a film/TV show is specifically making a point of saying that some details relate to a particular person, we have to see the stories as fictional. If there are specific cases of libel, they can be dealt with through legal means. [There may be issues to deal with but we're working on them. Separate libel cases also may not be necessary, if there are broader means of getting results. When there's competition in business, especially, sometimes all that's needed is to market a better product!? But I can't answer all these questions at this time.] *** There are other ways of spreading information besides through entertainment, of course! If people can look at the real issues, and the real individuals involved if necessary, I think it will be more productive than looking at what's been done in film--at least, so far!? Am not sure what's ahead but we're working on it. There are other people who know more than I do.
