Where In The World Is Norm!
Ricky,
I certainly would not say that Johnny kicked me off TV. As for what Johnny is rumored as saying or not, I couldn't say because I haven't spoken with Johnny for several weeks. I know that while I was on the air there people tried very hard to pit us against one another or to have us saying contradictory things and I never would play along with such attempts. I have always said that the best way to avoid rumors is to go to the source and find out for yourself. I appreciate you doing that. I don't know what Johnny is saying and I will not comment on what others are attributing to him without hearing him say it for myself. It doesn't really matter what anyone says about me, it never has and it never will. My reputation, integrity and work speak for themselves. It sounds like you were a regular viewer of Bible Q-n-A so I will ask you, was I soft or "wimpy" toward denominations? My teaching was broadcast live just like his, I will let that speak for itself.
As to where I am and what I am doing. I am no longer preaching in Danville, VA. I have moved to Louisiana where I am preaching for the Bawcomville church of Christ in West Monroe. I did not leave the church of Christ nor did I leave the work of preaching. I am not pursuing other endeavors, I am a preacher of the Gospel. I am serving the Lord under the oversight of sound elders of the Lord's church. I will continue the Bible Q-n-A program and will be posting the video on the Bible Q-n-A web site.
As for the reason I left Danville. It was because I was not getting the support I needed to provide for my family and do the work there. After I had already decided that I would have to leave due to the lack of support, the Martinsville congregation informed me that they would be pulling my support in 60 days and that since they were paying for the TV program they did not want me to continue doing it. I informed them that I would not need 60 days and I was prepared to move immediately. I was not asked to leave by the Danville congregation and, to the best of my knowledge, they did not want me to leave. What part Johnny might have played in the decisions of the Martinsville congregation to drop my support I do not know.
In an effort to cease the rumor mill, I will post this email to the Bible Q-n-A web site. If anyone cares to talk to me about any of these things they can contact me, just as they always could have, on my web site. This site is mine, as is the Bible Q-n-A program, and stay with me wherever I go. The phone number will change and I will post the new number when I get it.
In The Service Of Christ,
Norm Fields

There are rumors going around the Johnny kicked you off TV? There is some rumors going around. Here is a direct quote . "A number of sources have been reporting to me in the past few months that there was some friction between Robertson and Fields and that Robertson "did not like Fields at all", that Robertson thought of Fields as a "wimp" for not "taking on the denominations hard enough". That is from The Knight Shift if you go to look at it the date is 8/31/2008 06:59:00 PM. Is any of this true? You can also check out this site all they talk about is the Church of Christ Answering the Church of Christ Johnny talks a whole lot on here. I would like to see you on TV again. Please tell me if you are going to be back on WGSR 39 or if you are still preaching at Danville. Thanks
Bro Norm.
animo y continue con su tarabajo en el Señor dondequiera que se encuentre
God Bless You

If we make i down there we will be sure to stop by and visit. Continue doing what you do! - Jon (from Ga) 2 Cor 5:7

Welcome to Louisiana, Norm!!
I've wondered where you have been. Maybe this will afford us a better opportunity to meet. :)

First Norm let me start by saying may God bless you and your work. My He give you the patience and knowledge to know when the Devil has entered the building. I am new to this Utube sight and in the small amount of time I have watched most of your videos and I want you to know (something you probably already know) but we are of the minority. I am very proud of it. People want to treat God/Jesus/Holy Spirit like a disease that you better not talk about unless you have the cure! I don't agree with this mentality. It is our responsibility to Love God and his Son as He loves us if we want to receive His promise. I just want you to know that I feel that you are doing it exactly the way God wants you to and do not let Satan convince you otherwise. "the devil uses those closest to us, who allow him, to destroy the ones closest to them." God bless you Norm, I will pray for you and your ministry so that you may continue to reach as many listeners/viewers as possible. I love your work and I believe that God sends us messengers to hear what it is that He needs us to hear at the time we are hearing it...
I was really looking forward to your show tonight. I am a new babe in Christ (6yrs old) and I have questions to help me in my understanding of the word. I have started teaching bible class at our church but I am always hungry for knowledge and understanding. I don't take God lightly. I understand enough to have the fear of my father. and I love Him dearly. I want to be obedient and there are some questions that I have. I look forward to your response as to when and how I could call you on your show?

These kinds of references just boggle my mind!! God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. 3 separate, distinct persons who are each "God". Yet, only one of them gets the title most times.
Very confusing. VERY confusing.
