As Todd Bentley prepared to launch his series of meetings at a Reno hotel/casino, he posted this on Twitter two days ago:
Had some great Sushi. Wow. Ready to meet and greet some pastors and leaders. Pray for us Discovery studios joining us in Reno.

If we remember that Todd is trying to sell a reality show, starring himself, to Discovery TV, it would be interesting to speculate that this is a reference to the Discovery Network sending cameras--or network staffers--to Reno Nevada to film or watch Todd's revival. I think it is.
[UPDATE: I'm guessing right so far. The photo below from here is
off Todd Bentley's plixi feed and was originally captioned "Discovery Studios trailer shoot for potential upcoming reality series." Thanks Bene D for spotting it!]

[/caption]If my guess is right and this is a de facto "pilot" for Todd's proposed show, I also wonder this too. Did the Discovery channel boffins--or Todd's agent or consultant for the proposed TV show--hint to Todd that they wanted something exciting or unusual to spice up the pilot? "Naaah, that little country church sounds boring...?"
If my guess--and I hasten to remind that it is only a guess--is correct, that may mean that Todd could be catering to what is good for a TV show, and not what seems good to the Holy Spirit. ("But Todd, that little country church that is unexciting for television needs a revival...")
Hoping I am wrong, though. Fearing, however , that I might be on to something.
