72. I wouldn't watch it.
I would take her out to lunch and explain that you were offended by what she did. Let her do most of the talking, but be firm about what is and isn't okay when it comes to her church. Explain that you sent back your tape so that she could understand why you aren't interested in what some preacher has to say about the war--that you've done more research than he has and just can't believe in what he's selling.

If she gets really offended, just quietly ask why WWI wasn't the End of Times or WWII? They fit the definitions she's using much better, and yet, we're all still here. Ask her why her church seems so obsessed with it when Jesus was more concerned with the Two Greatest Commandments and the Beatitudes, which go against war and killing our enemies. See what she says, and go from there.

I'd take her on one on one without her husband, if at all possible. It sounds like she needs a breath of fresh air.
