It is the one that the experience of the celebrity who became a Christian etc. were spelt, and a content (Details of the Japanese version distributed free of charge are uncertain) for the unbeliever.
  • The Arthur S DeMoss foundation chiefly supports evangelicalism, and the foundation is especially assumed to have deep connection with christian right which is the opposite of abortion and homosexuality, and denial of evolution theory etc.
  • The foundation has aimed at making the Christianity known, and not a religious body with an original doctrine and the founder of a religion. Therefore, the foundation or the person named the believer of the Power For Living deflecting doesn't exist, even if there is a flock of Christ that cooperates in the activity of the foundation. The person who are an advertising tower are Christians of the protestantism of the sect with thick Fundamentalism color.
  • An advertising activity for the Power For Living distribution had been performed up to now in the United States and Germany in the background of abundant capital power of the foundation, and it came to throw newspaper ad and television advertisement also in Japan in 2007.
  • Substance is a propagation activity of the Christianity (document mission) though the religion is concealed in television advertisement .
  • In Japan, it is appointed that the television advertisement related to the religion is taboo (However, Budhism temples, Shinto shrines and Soka Gakkai, etc. have already thrown television advertisement in Japan in daytime).
  • The advertisement of this foundation is recognized by German federal broadcasting council (Germany's Federal Broadcasting Commission), it is "Advertisement that advertises religious thought", and is a broadcasting prohibition in Germany in January, 2002.

response in Japan

  • TV asahi,TV Tokyo,Tokyo Broadcasting System and Nippon Television broadcast the television advertisement as an ad for a book.On the other hand, Fuji Television is not broadcasting because there is some uncertain points. Some Japanese misunderstand that a cult religious group comes from the United States to propagate to Japan, because the management subject etc. are indistinct.
