John and Doves,
To clarify the subject we are adding the following information:
Quoting from our post yesterday :
" Now they refer to TBN as meaning "Touching Billions Now".
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2011/jimg617.htm
"Touching Billions Now " is on TBN's newsletters that they send out.
As you can see from the following examples, they prefer that meaning.
They of course would never officially Change their phrase, ( for fear of reprisal ) but just substitute the meaning, and show that phrase rather than "Trinity Broadcasting Network ". It's subtle, but it has the same effect ( without letting anyone say they officially changed it ).
Here are some examples:

http://www.qdocuments.com/Touching-Billions-Now--TBNs-Spring-2010--PDF.html
"Touching Billions Now " would obviously not be on Dr. Van Impe's website.
It's like the old adage: "the more things stay the same ( the letters "TBN" ), the more they change ( modernized interpretation ).
Hopefully that clarifies the issue,
In Him,
Jim Goodrick
