Dweeb's music sounded as awful as the porn band they were thrown together with. This is one of the problems with 'Christian' music; it can end up sounding very similar to the satanic stuff which is of 'the world'. Also, although Dweeb could turn away from the porn band when they stripped, we, the viewers (whom they presumably wanted to watch the programme) had to sit through the whole thing. So there was some compromising of principles. All this being said, I thought the boys in the band did show the love of Christ in the situation and came across well.

I think you might miss the point of what [DWEEB] is all about. As you have impressive musical qualifications, I have to respect your opinion of [DWEEB] music. It may not be to your taste, but having witnessed [DWEEB] in action at H3 this weekend I have to respond.
Firstly, [DWEEB] live is about communicating with predominantly young people (although they have very wide appeal) through their music initially but then using that avenue to bring the message of Life Eternal through a belief in Jesus. This they do consistently well.
Secondly, I disagree that their music is the same as all (secular?) rock. How can it be when it is inspired by a love for and belief in God.
Thirdly, they are a thoroughly professional outfit and I am mystified (with your professional qualifications) why you fail to be able to acknowledge this. You might not LIKE their music - but does this preclude you from accepting that the music they do is done very, very well?
Forthly, why not come to H3 in Milton Keynes in 2009 ( you have just missed 2008)? You could see [DWEEB] if you wish - but if not, sit them out and see any of the other performers representing all genres of music. That's what a lot of the young folk do - they come to see [DWEEB] and at the same time are exposed to other Christian inspired performers and hence musically educated. Surely you would welcome this as an exponent of "music"....whatever form that may take?
Don't wish to sound argumentative - but really want to support these guys as I have seen first hand what an amazing ministry they have.
God Bless Chris!

I was so impressed with Dweeb on BBC3 last night.
Christianity at its finest, they demonstrated Christ's agape love for the whole nation to see.
Rarely have I been so proud to watch my God represented on UK television
You really rock guys - God bless you

I thought dweeb were absolutley amazing and just goes to show that being christians doesn't mean that you're a set of bible bashers! I hope they perservere and keep up the good work!

i quite agree with you. Last nights programme was riveting and inspirational. It was amazing to watch god in action and to watch the transformation in Suzanne. Her comment about how on hearing the bible passage showed her the light and how she "fell in love". I left the programme feeling so in awe of God and wanting everyone to watch it. But i guess the viewing was limited as not being directly targetted as such a life changing possibility. i would love the programme to be seen by all Christians as a testomy to God in action. But how wonderful that the majority of viewers hopefully were younger and new to Christianity. I pray that Mikkey too will come to open her heart and mind to the possibilty of loving God.
