The Practice Story
April 1999
For some reason this story keeps coming back. The exchange originally
happened in April of 1999. This story is essentially true, however, it
leaves out several important facts. For example, the person who replied
from ABC was not an ABC spokesperson but a tech hired to manage the
website. When ABC found out what had happened they apologised to Mr.
Neugent and fired the tech.
A more complete copy of the exchange is available on the webminister.com
website.
Jim writes: My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC on-line) concerning a
program called "THE PRACTICE". One of the lawyer's mothers decided she
is gay and wanted her son to go court to help her get amarriage license
to marry her 'partner'.
I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a
reply, but I did get one.
My original message was: ABC is obsessed or should I say abscessed) with
the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your
attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK. THE PRACTICE
can be a fairly good show but last night's program was so typical of
your agenda. You picked the 'dufus' of the office to be the one who was
against the idea of his mother being gay and made him look like a whiner
because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me
a "gay basher." Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the Bible)
and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it....He, God and Jesus
were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker
spaniel? Is that an alternative lifestyle? (By the way, the Bible speaks
against that, too.) --Jim Neugent
Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster: How about getting
your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by
MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the: declaration
of Independence (what our nation is built on) where it: says "All Men
are Created equal" - and try treating them that way for a change!? Or
better yet,try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of
stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in the minority
in this country and your boycott will not affect us or our freedom of
statement.
Jim Neugent's second response to ABC:
Thanks for your reply. Evidently, I hit a nerve from your harsh reply. I
will share it with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the
Arkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their columns. And
I will be praying for you. -Jim Neugent
Note: Wouldn't Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible for
a crutch? Please resend this to everyone in your mailbox. Thanks, Jim
I wonder if the person from ABC considered how many people would read
this e-mail!! This is one we should definitely pass on.
Not!
