You May Not Like What I Have To Say, But Here We Go. This Is To Joni Lamb, Quit Pushing Your New Husband Doug On The Audience. Can't You Tone It Down A Bit.

I am all for people finding happiness and a new spouse. That is not the issue here at hand. In this case it is the fact that Joni Lamb keeps trying to in a not so soft manner but sort of aggressive style pushing her new husband on the viewing audience. We get it, you fell in love and got married that is your life but when it comes to the ministry your deceased husband, Marcus entrusted to you, do not desecrate his memory with trying to push your new husband, Doug, on us in "Ministry Now" programming. Something just rubs me the wrong way in this picture, it really does. I try to watch but when you snapped at one of your children once on air because they said something like "Back to you Mom" and you responded back to them that Doug was there too, that is highly insulting, and I felt the pain of that child. You know Joni that God gave you and Marcus your children as gifts, and they should have precedent over your new spouse when it comes to the ministry that you and Marcus built up with the hand of God leading it. I am just speaking out loud and if I am thinking this then surely there must be others also thinking on the same wavelength.

You even try to push him on some of your guests too. Please back off a bit and have consideration of your children because it must be very hard for them to see another man sitting in the seat on the set their father sat in. If I may suggest something from 1 woman to another. It is okay that you fell in love and got married. I am sure that God did not want you to be alone in life. Why though force him on us. I in my opinion would have kept him in the background somehow and not thrust him on the people that so loved Marcus and then it gives the appearance of you replacing Marcus. Marcus along with you did all the hard work throughout the years and Doug comes along and places himself into Marcus' seat on the set. Not only his seat but trying to replace him in interviewing also. Something is off when I tune in at times to watch this unfolding. I think it is not being done in good taste. Please place your children before this man in your life. They were there for you and stepped up to the plate when Marcus went to be with Jesus, and it was quite lovely seeing them each come to the forefront in the ministry. Very endearing with them co-hosting with you. Please replace Doug with your children at least in this format of taping.

I get it, a new husband looks at you like a teenager in love because you are still newly married. I do not think it is appropriate for all the world to view when he does it on set. Please keep your new love to yourself and do not force this on the viewing audience. Oh, you get the well-wishers of how they are so happy for you and Doug but are you not sharing comments with the viewing audience of the ones not so supportive of this ministry change? Show both sides of this please. I can only imagine how hard this must be on your children and they are probably trying to figure out where they fit into this new equation, give them time and please don't thrust Doug in the ministry upon them so swiftly. It was quite evident how they all loved their dad and still do. The other day Doug referred to one of your grandkids as their grandchild was on the set with them. Does this man have an aggressive type of personality and is he calling all the shots now? Just wondering out loud.

Is there a reason your son, Jonathan did not walk his mother down the aisle on your wedding day? It was a pretty risqué in parts the wedding dress you wore. Maybe that could have been a bit more modest considering that many eyes around the world would be on you at one point. Maybe save things of that nature as private between you and your new husband okay, not for the world to see. I just don't think we are ready for that. Dress modestly in public is all I am suggesting. Enjoy your new married life but please do not push your new love in your life on us, the viewing audience. Maybe there could have been choices to subtly introduce him to the ministry. Please let your children go back to front and center in the programming. It just gives the appearance that this man wants to be featured front and center and you are allowing this. I noticed that you and Marcus were present at the wedding when Benny Hinn married his wife again, Suzanne. Where they there to reciprocate it on your wedding day to Doug, just wondering. 

I guess all I am saying is to have some "kind" consideration for your viewing audience and enjoy your newfound love/life but not so much on the set but in your personal lives together. It is a blessing for you to find love again.
