WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THIS?

"WOW!!! I was walking up to the rap at 12:00 and P. Scibelli was walking out of his office and he walked over to me grabbed my arm ad walked me te rest of the way to the lunch rap. isn't that so cool!!!"
from (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ashlando/)

talk about sick! it'll never stop!

OTP, To be "fair and balanced", here is another quote from that young person's journal:

<font color="0000ff">"And above all... I thank my father in heaven, My Lord, My Savoiur, my friend
I thank Him for giving me a life, for dieing for me, for giving me eternal life... Thank you Lord!!!! I love you and I just can't thank you enough!!!

Thankyou for your grace and mercy!!!!"</font><font color="000000">

I've read some of this and it appears as if this is a young woman who has lost her father and really loves the Lord. I don't think you are being fair when you just take an isolated part of her testimony and disregard the rest.

... hey if pastha says country gospel is cool - then it's cool. Got it!! BTW OTP - Charlie Daniels (the guy in your pic) is more properly a "Southern Country Rock" artist. Pastah would *not* approve of many of Charlie's songs.

To begin more credible research on "Southern Country Gopsel' (the stuff that Pastah really likes) start here:

http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/southerngospel1.htm

Find pics of some plump women with "beehive" hairdoos from the 60's and men with Vitalis "cowlicks" wearing red suits and you'll have the proper representation.

jayso, so what you're saying is that ignorance is bliss? just because a person spouts out how much they love jesus, the fact still remains that they are azzholes! a very common problem within Christianity! people then try and negate their own stupidity with some flowery christian speak and hope it makes everything alright! though i think this very board proves that even the best of us can get suckered in by an odd looking man with a strange orange tinted hair weave!

but don't take my woid for it, point proven here...

NNO - i'm not gonna go poking around that website! i might be overcome with twanging and end up vibrating off the end of my chair. or vomit.

i realize that chaz dannls is different than your standard country gospel thang, but he is hick-ish looking, and bearded (which is always a bonus), and stout in terms of his girth. it's more of a parody than an exact representation!

Right on!! Many of the churchgoers and esspecially the pastors I've known for over 25 years were azzholes!! Many of the churches are full of arrogance and intolerance. They talk all this christianeze and then treat you like crap if you don't praise them, obey them, serve them, tithe to them, and kiss their azzes every step of the way. Do as they say but not as they do. Their actions are very different than their words. Their own theologies are distorted and full of holes. Blindly believing them and following them is a sure way to fall into deception and ruin. They don't care much for the down and out and the hurting because they came not to serve, but be served. Their little speeches are all too easy to fall for. 99 percent truth with their 1 percent distortions is a recipe for disaster. Even the devil comes as an angel of light to decieve people. Too bad some people do just about the same thing. Watch out for them and check out their actions. If their actions aren't Biblical and don't line up with their words, RUN!! Seek God and His Word yourself for your answers and He will direct your path.

Yes, for sure ignorance is bliss! That's not my point. You stated well "even the best of us can get suckered in by an odd looking man with a strange orange tinted hair weave!"

So, she got "suckered in"? Calling her and others who were suckered in azzholes doesn't help get them out.

How about you NTL, if someone called you an arsehole, would you want to leave your cult and join a cult of the anti-cult wherein someone like yourself refers to YOU an azzhole?

[no_touch_love (no_touch_love)]

"Calling her and others who were suckered in azzholes doesn't help get them out." no, but it brings to light their azzholeness, which is a step in the right direction!

the first step is admitting you are an idiot, once that is done, then the rest is easy!

[arguendo (arguendo)]

OTP and NTL:

This kid is small game and it's beneath you to ridicule her. She's young and stupid, just like all college kids all over the world. Lofty ideals are not reserved for just attendees of GGWO.

Ridicule is a powerful and permanent weapon that should reserved for leadership, IMO.

Just because she puts herself out there doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it. And God forbid your ridicule causes her to think she's a martyr for her loyalty to GGWO.

[no_touch_love (no_touch_love)]

nor is coddling her either! this is the same reason that I and many of my school friends back in the day where making fun you old farts as you climaxed in your pants over carls next visit to collect funds for grace hour!

i for one was not ridiculing anyone, we are all idiots to some degree!

[orangetwopay (orangetwopay)]

best
post
EVER

[arguendo (arguendo)]

Are you talkin to me? Are you TALKIN TO ME?

If you are:

1. I am not an old fart.
2. I rejected CHS when I was 14 and was lucky enough to have parents who could accept that.
3. I was out of bible school 3 weeks after I started because I have zero tolerance for BS.
4. A real azzhole is someone that expects responsiblity and accountablity from everyone except themselves. Also, I just disagreed with you,how do you justify such a nasty response?
5. Don't you ever presume that you know what makes me climax, you snot-nosed brat.

[orangetwopay (orangetwopay)]

no wait, LOL

THAT'S the best post ever.

I'm not so sure that winning them with a club has any use,exept that reserved for knowledgeable leadership of course.http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/biggrin.gif

This Snippet only reveals how any of us can be deceived at any moment.Even now,none of us is completely free of everything that causes us to be deceived.
We'd have to be right about everything all the time and that's just not going to happen.
Not on this side of eternity.

It's not only "stupid" people who get tricked either.That ought to be a common understanding among all of us here.
Ignorance is not stupidity.

Have even one of us stopped growing in the things of the Lord because we've attained?
Say yes and you're a liar and you know it.

Maybe a gentle persuasion is at hand here.
Answer lies with truth,it's more effective as we've seen with RHP.

Does anyone even know this person that they would assault her naivety?
She Loves the Lord,start with that.

"how do you justify such a nasty response?"

Simple, it's either be honest, or LIE to the person, all under "grace" and try to "fit them in!" all the while the person is a complete F-up! This results in retards running chicken dinners, old dirty bearded men running "fun razors" or simpletons becoming an usher simply because there is nowhere else to fit them in! These are the same nits that are now crying foul, or was that cult, I don’t recall!?

[no_touch_love (no_touch_love)]

"Ignorance is not stupidity."

Indeed, but at the end of the day we are still talking about people being lead around by the short hairs from a man who looks like Opie with an orange hair piece...ignorance, or stupidity, your call!

[david_munson (david_munson)]

Ignorance if I must call it.
It's one of mankind's most endearing traits.
Yet use the word and two people will understand it differently.

Ignorant people can be taught,
stupid people can't.

How long did it take for the light to go on with each one here?
It varies according to who you ask doesn't it?

Because you "learned" something quickly,does not mean that another person can learn it in one set framework of time.

Personally,
I'm still in the process of learning,at least until I leave this planet that is.
(which leaving I hope is in the twinkling of an eye)http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/biggrin.gif

God is for you,

While not an answer to OTP's real question, how's this for an explanation of why a particular country song is a "Christian" song?

Coal Miner's Daughter isn't a secular song because Loretta Lynn's father got up every morning at 4:30, read his Bible, sold a pig every week just to get food on the table, and went to church three times every Sunday...

CHS on Grace Hour, Friday Aug. 19, beginning at 50 minutes into the broadcast.

While I was in GGWO, there was always someone using the phrase "some kinda wonderful."

Thinking back now, it makes me puke.
