As reports of Covid cases and deaths rise in Kentucky, some churches are now becoming places to get the shots.
NPR begins a report about this by first writing, ‘In the end it was the delta variant that drove Rose Mitchell, 89, down the winding mountain road in Smilax, Ky., to the Full Gospel Church of Jesus Christ to get the shot. Her pastor, Billy Joe Lewis, had told his congregation that, No, ma’am, a COVID-19 vaccine would not leave the “mark of the beast” nor rewrite their genetic codes.’
Lewis, unlike many preachers who are either afraid to say anything about the vaccines or who are lukewarm on the issue, embraces the vaccines, saying that he spends most days in long prayer and says God told him to ‘protect his flock.’
A women by the name of Maxine, who is a member of Lewis’ congregation, suggested that his church building be used as drop-in vaccine clinic in the church’s parking lot, Lewis was all for it. He advocated his congregants get vaccinated from the pulpit.
We’ve still got to use common sense. Anything that can ward off suffering and death, I think, is a wonderful thing.
On September 11th the church post on its Facebook page:
The Leslie County Health Department will be setting up a tent in our church parking lot on Thursday, September 16, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. to give the Moderna and Pfizer shots to all who want them, plus free health screenings as well.
The NPR report goes onto explain the resistance of some who do not to be vaccinated, and problems with getting nursing home staff. You can read more about it here:
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
There’s plenty more written in the NPR report, but it’s the typical fear porn per usual from the mainstream media, most of which was unrelated to this Kentucky pastor and church building.
[21] I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. [22] The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.Jeremiah 22:21-22
These actions from these hirelings are nothing new, as there have been plenty of fakers already doing stuff like this, but I am mentioning this because it shows just how weak and useless these “churches” are.
Moreover, as greater sickness and death ticks even higher, more of these government-owned phallic houses will be converted into makeshift FEMA camps and quarantine zones. Then, these fake pastors (who were already fake before this shamdemic, mind you) will then go full-blown in preaching the gospel of vaccination.
Not that I defend this guy in any way, but just as Jesus, I’d rather see some guy just take a hard stance for or against the death shots, not this lukewarm business all these fake funnymental buptists are doing.
More Fundamentalist Baptists Are Refusing To Take A Stand Against The Covid Tyranny
[14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16]So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.Revelation 3:14-20
Texas Megachurch To Offer Covid Vaccines After The Services
Popular Street Preacher Advocates Christians Get Vaccinated So You Can Provide For Your Family
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I was overhearing those Jimmy Swaggart hirelings one of them shouting “I don’t understand why God has allowed COVID-19, I don’t understand why God has allowed pastors to die from this pandemic, I don’t understand why our election was rigged, I don’t understand Joe Biden, I don’t understand Kamala Harris…” and on and on. I wanted to laugh my butt off and about at him “Wouldn’t you like to know, big boy!” He and they deserve every ounce of persecution and I’ll just stand by and watch as Jesus turns them into minced meat. And I’m going to laugh while it happens and so will Jesus and you’re going to get a very rude awakening that Jesus is behind this “pandemic” and He is causing America and your church buildings to get stomped beyond repair…and the swaggart’s cult building and diploma mill “bible” college will be smashed to pieces as well I DECLARE IN JESUS NAME!!!
I don’t think any of us will be laughing to see anyone being sent to hell. What kind of Christian would say such a thing? Prideful are we? hmmmm? We should instead be praying for their repentance while they are on “this side of the grave”
I know this is off topic, but I’ve been trying to figure out why it is that those scum want us off meat… and here’s what I believe is the best answer:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7gDIshc-S0 Dr Sten Ekberg @ 6:04 in:
“Category number three are meat, animal proteins, all right. They provide a full spectrum of essential amino acids. THEY ARE ONE OF THE FEW FOOD GROUPS THAT HUMANS COULD LIVE ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND SURVIVE, alright. Most other things that we would eat exclusively for a short time we would perish we would get some sort of deficiency or we just wouldn’t get enough fuel or nutrients to survive, but animal proteins, especially the fat kinds, provide enough nutrients that we could live on it for years…”
They gotta make some real “tasty” substitutes, because a lot of folks are diehard meat lovers and won’t easily give it up. There’s plenty of folks who eat a lot of garbage processed food and the only thing with any substance is the meat they eat.
Anything to kill us off quicker…
I saw that video, too. I like Dr. Eckberg. He’s good for learning more of the technical stuff. But yeah I totally agree. Meat is so necessary for healthy living and sustainability. That’s how people in the iciest and coldest environments survive when very little plants are around to begin with. Beef and calf liver are the most nutrient dense meats out there.
Oh yeah, he’s fantastic… i’m that inquisitive person who wants to know the reasons behind things, and Dr. Ekberg really hits the nail on the head for me. Thanks for putting me onto him, and same with Dr. Eric Berg!
Just as Brother Bryan Denlinger predicted: the mainline 501c3 churches are getting aboard the Covid Titanic. That is, the ones that have not shut down due to lack of interest. One former Methodist church in my town locked its doors a couple of years ago only to become a day care center….now all decked out for Halloween more than any other residence on the street. So If they start administering “vaccines” within their doors, they may be committing murder in the process. I’m hoping the IFB Baptist churhes will stay separated from this ugly mess.
The IFB baptists are a cult, Liz, so chances are, they’ll be doing social distancing, face masks, and having a pop-up death jab clinic, too! Avoid IFB as you would Methodist, Catholic pentecostal and so on.
The IFB ones near me are not the Anderson cultlike ones that I think are further out west. So far, they keep separated. I do not attend because of some creeping Catholicism I’ve seen in the one I was attending. I made the decision to break off a little bit before this Covid thing started. The pastor kept the doors open even though most people stayed away. But I had heard recently that he is not talking against these vaccines…..he’s playing it safe and being neutral and letting everyone decide for themselves whether to take the jabs……and I’m guessing many of them have done so, based upon their total faith in these horrible doctors. The last time I attended a service, the pastor and I had a really good belly laugh after the service over a comment I read from Dr. William Grady about the ASV, so there’s no bad blood. He’ s just a little too nice for me…..I want to hear the “junkyard dogs” like Ruckman and anyone else who speaks against that Roman Whore.
Full Gospel….that’s usually code for ‘Pentacostal’. Cults divinize humanity, usually by putting experience and/or science over scripture. Not all IFB do that ….and there was a small remnant separating from the 501c3 agreements, distancing themselves, properly vetting authorities ….but they were few & far between. Stayed too long in the slowly simmering pot of humanist statism, thinking they were independent as they slowly were turned to courtesans of State. Honeypot is an apt term for the seductive strategy.
My husband’s cousin was a KY State officer, baptist pastor & chaplain down near the TN line. Last we heard, he was still pastoring: I hope he’s holding the line.
My husband, himself, is West Virginia born & bred. Grampa was an old-school King James Bible baptist preacher, but married unwisely after being widowed with 4 children, to a very loud, needy widow with 4 hellions of her own. He held firm, but the Masons & liberals took him through Hell & back thru the children for his stand. He sold Watkins products to the little people, & preached in little churches tucked up in remote hollows for miles around.
My husband was sure he was the subject of every Hellfire sermon the old man preached….but, you know, something ‘took’ in spite of his own trials, bitterness & rebellion. It must have been a terrible trial & grief to Grampa when his daughter married an ambitious Church of God fellow. His mother was a holiness witch, part native American, who went about always dressed in black, never smiling, severe. The children feared her. Grampa never cottoned to scary old holiness Gramma, & the sentiment was returned.
He didn’t think much of the tv preachers either, & Billy Graham was a grief to him. Anyways, when his father abandoned his mother, himself & sister on a no- electric, no- running- water farm 40 miles from nowhere their secure world blew up. He was five. His sister, four. Mom ’bout blew the place up trying to light the stove with coal oil to cook, blew off the top plates & soot all over the place, & their mother cried. She struggled on for awhile but the shock of it put her into ‘nervous breakdown’ as they called it in those days. And, she got the ‘scientific’ treatment they gave for that in those days. Shock therapy. We live in a cruel, wicked world.
Still, despite squirming under those sermons, he knew there was a difference between the character of the men carrying that old King James, with their straight-talking preaching…and the soft-spoken, soft-handed who disrespected him, with their white collar welfare & union jobs, and their ‘big baptist’ airs. All it took was a little ‘bending’.
Grampa raised his family & never compromised his standard, and the Lord knows those boys & their drunkenness were a trial & temptation to just lie down & give up. He wasn’t above, or afraid to get his hands dirty, raising a hog down on the levy public land if he needed to. Sharing it with a family in even more need. The do-gooder State fixed that kind of Christian charity. Television was slow coming into the hills, but the politicians pushed for all the advantages, the Peace Corp types sent in their state-paid charity first-years schoolteachers paying off their liberal arts education by agreeing to serve…and by the late ’70’s-80’s the satellite dish became the new state flower of WV.
After the whiskey & stills & revenuers….the drugs came in: legal & non. Some of the elders like Grampa tried fighting back, but were beat down & undermined right & left. And not just by the ‘secular’. But for all the anger, bitterness & rebellion, my husband knew whatever Grampa had was a whole lot more real than the do-gooder care packages coming from ‘big baptist’ at Christmas & Easter (where were they the rest of the year?) and the social services ‘charities’ & teachers who were paid to tell you whatever you wanted to hear, while acting like they really cared. Or his dad showing up once a year at Christmas time with his latest wife & new families & step-children all dressed nice….bringing him a stupid Brownie camera.
People today find it easy to blame. Calling men like Grampa ‘proud’. Failures. Blaming them for what the powers behind the scenes were doing, as they always have, & as they always will when God’s people don’t stand united in the faith, united in Christ…and separate. The men back in those hills & working the mines, the forest lots, & their preachers….were a tight-lipped, hard to penetrate bunch. They didn’t trust ‘the man’, but Rome got a lot of them with her unionism. Her ‘charity’ hospitals no one could match with all that cheap socialist nun and priest labor, & Catholic money. The healthcare system. Yeah. That.
And Rockefeller was there with the company town stuff. The Pinkertons. Matewan. Who knew the corporatists were siamese twins?
Anyways, when I told my husband the name of this church & what the article was about….he just sighed & said, some of those old backwoods churches really go off the rails into holiness stuff, and with regard to that AND to the shots, all it takes is ‘a couple blue-haired old biddies’.
That’s sort of become a code & joke between us as we grow old together….he starts the phrase, ‘all it takes’ and we complete it in unison! But there’s enough experiential truth in it & witnessed over the years that there’s a wealth of meaning in the expression!
We were attending an IFB church. The pillar and ground of the truth, the independent & simple Timothy & Titus organization, the fellowship….but the old ship’s been overhauled. Compromised.
Transformed. It was becoming painfully obvious, so that there came that day we had to separate or become aiding & abetting parts of ‘the change’. All warning rebuffed, it became apparent that they would not take those steps of leaving the 501c3 & other Babylonian incorporation schemes, in order to keep jail, youth ministry & chaplaincy programs; & social acceptability. The dye was set that come covid that they would bow to State. And to be honest, we were in confusion as it hit…but the Lord had been preparing us, opening our eyes, distancing us.
We were seeing the signs…and getting the ‘Jeremiah-Grampa’ treatment for warning….not that we were anywhere near the stalwart he was. Emergent stuff. Softness. Women working & all teaching on Titus 2 gone. Not just watered down: but totally absent. It was an odd, two-tiered thing. Many of the missionaries still held to the old biblical standards & family order…but the money to support that was coming from compromised wallets in the pews, who needed to be kept compromised in order to keep the money flowing. I remember thinking it was like the world with its ‘professionals’ and certified experts…versus the rest of us. Like Rome. Laity & nicolaitan.
I respect a lot of the people who tried ministering through all the challenges. It came in so gradually & subtly. People laboring in the field & living were busy, but one day they came home on furlough & the churches were changed. It was no different from what they were facing out there in the already taken & transformed world of subtle Catholic & communist liberation theology humanism & one worldism; and the not-so subtle Muslim aggression. There came that time when the Muslim & Rome & what used to be assumed ‘irreligious’, ‘neutral’ and ‘secular’…fascism and communism merging, began working in unison with seducing subtlety & beguiling propaganda.
It’s hard to put into words. I remember in the final year, there was a candidating missionary, a young man who had grown up in China. For a time there was an apparent laxity on the part of the CCP, a surge of hope amongst the people & the Christians of China when China was given trading status by the UN that freedom had come. But it was false: a trick & a trap. The underground & independent churches who’d not fallen for the ‘Three Self Patriotic’ fake, State-approved ‘Christian’ church showed themselves.
Then the crackdowns came. This young man’s father & his family had been ejected from China as ‘proselytizers’ and ‘agitators’. Those in the church body they were a part of who were educated were taken for ‘reeducation’, many disappearing. What remained was headed by an uneducated peasant who was considered no threat. He feared for the brethren & longed to return to be a help if he could to those scattered & remaining, to further aid the semi-literate trying to lead the flock. Few in the congregation ‘got’ what he was saying, realizing it was happening here, too.
I wanted to warn him, but wasn’t sure if he was true, or just another political humanist ‘Christian’ himself. The merging ‘Christian right’ and ‘left’ is just the ‘Three Self Patriotic Movement’ in America. Same spirit. That of Sun Tzu & the Jesuit. Surrounded by the educated & degreed who would go on the attack & disparage, flattering the young man & mocking my ‘foolishness’ and lack of understanding with regard to ‘how these things work’….I wasn’t sure how to proceed. I was praying.
He hadn’t mentioned the Three Self Patriotic Movement in his presentation. I realized that his reaction to its mention would reveal if he was one of ‘them’ or real. So, I casually asked him, ‘What about the Three Self Patriotic Movement? What do you know about them?’ while watching his eyes. He went stiff, looked horrified & around at the ‘wise ones’, then lowered his voice & earnestly told me, ‘No one could ever get saved in those places.’ And, I knew that he knew. He was realizing that the American churches were being transformed, too. That there would be no ‘help’ from here, anymore than to those here who want to live biblically according to the old, unevolved paths.
I was sad to add to his burden, but he needed to have his suspicions confirmed so he stood a chance, & I was realizing even then that we were going to have to leave it ourselves. Money alone can’t help what ails the churches here, or worldwide. And State money, or ‘privileges’, or sponsoring money from any part of the ‘church’ beholden to those things ….have sticky chains attached, that interconnect as a soft web. At first it feels comforting, supportive, like a warm blanket….it brings a complacency, a beguiling stupor: but it’s bondage, & it’s deadly. Killing ‘softly’, ‘kinder and gentler’.
This was the third …no, fourth, church we’d fled to. Each one was a bit more biblical, but as we grew in Bible knowledge & maturity….slowly, swimming against the tide, confused at the mixed messaging…..something would crop up in each one that was unacceptable biblically. One Masonic church ‘loved’ us out the door so abruptly that our heads were spinning wondering what on earth had just happened to us. Seemed to hit out of nowhere. The rest we fled knowingly & willingly.
Was there anywhere to run that would help us live godly, biblical lives….or actually teach the Bible rather than undermining & compromising it? Help us to stand against the flood of worldliness & compromise? Surely the King James Bible standing church would be different.
But it wasn’t. Or perhaps better said: not different enough. We loved a lot of the people there, but there was distance & worldliness, too. Like most churches, it was taken & transformed by ‘educated professionals’…..teachers, social workers mostly. Civic-minded, active women, as often as the men, & at first they were stay-at-home mothers & wives in well-to-do families do-gooding.
The Bible schools were infiltrated, ‘saw the light’, conformed & were turning out the same degrees with the same antichrist standards for receiving ‘certification’, & the ‘right to work’.
Vaccine-related autism cases cropped up in that congregation, and we had a missionary family return from fruitful, needed, work in Argentina because their twin boys turned up autistic after ‘routine’ childhood & travel vaccinations. : – ( They were devastated. The nationals missed his leadership, but there were a couple sufficiently grounded & honestly saved who are carrying on in that place of advanced corporate tyranny & Catholic darkness, though communications are sparse & cautious due to the constant threat of retaliation, & infiltration.
People just didn’t want to admit the autism was related. And to speak honestly concerning the fascism, the Catholicism and liberation theology was just being ‘negative’, judgmental & conspiracy minded….making unnecessary political waves. Closing doors. Hindering the Gospel. Being overly suspicious. Even mentally unbalanced.
But seasoned missionaries, the truly saved ones who aren’t just religious humanist idolators & builders: they know. This returning missionary was given a teaching position at a school specializing in working with autistic children, to which their damaged boys were given scholarships and that was supposed to make it all okay. Health system educated professionals consistently ‘handled’ the pastor & any comments linking vaccines with autism as groundless speculation, hysteria, & demonstrably false because the ‘science has spoken’….just as lawyers warned of the potential for lawsuit acting as a ‘mental health’ professional & dispensing counsel, and social workers assured that their professional & educated intervention in the affairs of families, was also ‘necessary’ in these ‘changing times’.
A lot of ‘jobs’ & ‘humanist helps ministries’ disappear if you actually educate the people about these things so they can handle them for themselves. And it gets in the way of those 10, 15, and 20-year plans…..or in the case of Rome: the 100 year & really long march. How can God not judge these things? But they sure do manifest man’s true condition, fallibility & corruptibility. The question is whether people will see it through biblical eyes, quickened & informed by the Holy Spirit or not. Whether those with the oracles of God will yield & receive it in truth, & then walk in the Spirit rather than the flesh.
It’s not a cakewalk.
There were real deals amongst the missionaries in the field. But they were dwindling, too. They were discouraged & demoralized by the schools & the sending churches & growing antiChristian humanist bigotry subtly within as well as without.
It’s one thing to brave & face down Muslims and communists and Catholics taking the Gospel out when you’re a united front & body …& quite another when the sending churches are going soft & buying into the propaganda of those groups, urging the same softness & ‘tolerance’….leaning towards the wrong unity, gradually uniting to the wrong body. The wrong vine. (Boy is that one visually manifesting!) Merging.
There’s a good man with his family in Tanzania. When he visited, he preached from Philippians 1, a reality he was living.
There is a fellow from WV & his wife working with the national churches in Kenya…they lived so sacrificially. Would come home, he’d visit churches & work with his hands raising money to go back to their beloved African family so soon as they’d scraped enough together. Conditions have deteriorated so that she stays in a cheap little one-room rental in Nairobi, sometimes hosting small ladies’ meetings…with or without electric light, while he goes with the nationals in circuit to encourage & support the Bible churches suffering communist & Muslim jihad, & from other ‘Christians’ for their separation from the cults, the Pentacostals, Protestant & Reformed, the Catholics and fake baptists in union. She was going blind.
Good men in the far north, islands & Indian territories. I imagine the vaccine mandates are hitting them & their people hard. I fear they will comply. It’s that or leave their flocks to the wolves alone…and Romish superstitious & ritual bondage, ‘tolerance’ & sin-management, & Babylonian order statism tyrannizes & keeps those people in dependent bondage….even as they hunt independently & strive for as much separation as possible. Castro’s ‘love child’ and cronies are destroying what remains of anything true & biblical in Canada, devastating the native peoples as they do inner city minorities & so-called ‘white trash’….and Alaskan authorities linked with Washington aren’t much better.
Then again, thinking of them, their faces come before me, & I doubt the men I know up there will turn their meetings into vaccine dispensary gatherings. Special breed. The social worker, soft communist, Silicon Valley doped up ‘romantic’ pagan type ‘missional’ spiritual- but- not- doctrinal, or staunchly ‘educated’ and ‘secular’….doesn’t last long on the Arctic fringe typically. Too real & raw.
They’re more into Amazonian rain forest & Pacific Island ‘spiritual experimentation’ with those shamans & demoralized peoples, playing footsy with the pagan & the communist, the liberation theologians. Though there’s that government supported den-of-iniquity stuff, keep ’em in a subsistent mind-altered haze, in the far north, too…keeping it honest. Incest & pedophilia are common & persistent.
We did attend parking lot services for awhile, early covid. But as we grew aware what was going on, & it became apparent the leadership was going to try walking the line between independence & dependence….leaning toward State party line, it was just a matter of time.
A family that works in education & admin organized a mask-sewing group, & gave everyone home-made masks. The final straw was ‘Children’s Day’ when they had some of the teens dress up in dancing dinosaur costumes to entertain the children in the cars….it just demeaned & removed any seriousness or solemnity & sobriety in the preaching, at a supposed worship service.
Right out there in the neighborhood with all its impotent silliness. We were shocked & disgusted: & I guess our faces betrayed it, because the older lady in the car next to us told us to ‘lighten up’ and ‘get with the program’.
I watched my usually complacent husband’s face go stiff, his jaw set ….and knew when we pulled out that we weren’t going back. Blue-haired old biddies, and “and, get with the PROGRAM”….is that what it took? They send us bulletins & letters occasionally assuring us that they care about us & are accommodating of peoples’ concerns: there is ‘safe’ distanced, masking at your discretion worship in the sanctuary; ‘safer’ masked & especially distanced worship in the choir room listening over the intercom; and ‘safest’ listening over fm radio worship from the parking lot. It’s King James, but mainly soft, and selective with the ‘hard’ preaching.
I’m not sure about the safety of the dancing dinosaurs. Maybe they’re ‘immune’ from this particular extinction event and era change. 🙁
I admit, I do feel like a traitor at times, considering the missionaries in the field, some of the elders, & not forsaking the fellowship….but some of our shipwreck was due to the unwise compromise & association, things suffered even there: & now we must fight for the young ones who still don’t know their left hand from their right, influencing where we can teaching the word & planting the seed while it is still suffered.
It’s so odd. The ‘shipwreck’ saw covid for what it was & abandoned the system, the ‘good’ church people hinder the witness with their worship of state & ‘science’….that isn’t even science! Hypocrisy & compromise is spiritually deadly.
For a Christian with the love of God & compassion….it’s hard to see all the suffering, and not want to get involved, or do what you can to ease it. But you don’t ‘cure’ sin by helping people deny and ‘manage’ it….it must be exposed, acknowledged, taken to Christ who alone can atone or free indeed. When men get to editing or compromising the word & Gospel….you end with another gospel, another christ. And evil communications do corrupt good manners.
I’m praying for a speedy end & a soon rapture in these lonely days. But there is still a mission field amongst those shocked awake as the deception of humanist salvation falls apart … and we must pray for & encourage those that remain, scattered as they are, supporting as we can.
I also have some respect for those who are still in public preaching, striving for holy, godly living according to God’s order in the scriptures and so forth, in the non-incorporated churches…..and appreciate preaching & teaching concerning the true & muddied history of God’s people from Christ’s ascension to today….but I do not understand the odd mid-trib stuff that seems to go with that, and reject the tendency to associate with hard-line Reformed who share SOME of those concerns……..so we find it impossible to unite in fellowship or membership there either.
At first I thought it was reactionary…those men coming out of pat, formulaic IFB teaching on the dispensations and rapture etc. That time & maturing would take care of it, especially as they recognized Steven Anderson for what he was. But there’s no sign of that.
So, I don’t believe God wants us there anymore. That the times of that ignorance is past, too, & he wants us to come to him outside the gate. Further out of Rome’s subtle whoredoms & merchandising, as the fruit of that even tiniest of oversight & compromise manifests itself. There was a time those simple, member-supported & built, white clapboard churches dotting the American countryside were sufficiently strong, speaking with one voice & spirit, having one Bible….but those days are gone now.
Romish Mammon controls property, money, & such too much for those things to be anything but a hindrance to the believers from here on out. Back to the hedgerows, the highways & byways….even the catacombs. Back underground.
I like that…..the state flower of West Virginia becoming the satellite dish. I was saved in an IFB church in Ohio that was attended by a lot of displaced West Virginians whose motto was “reading, writing, and Route 21”. Never heard that satellite dish reference. No rumbling mountains in Ohio to interfere with the air waves, I guess. The pastor was a native Ohion but a stickler for the King James Bible. I miss those old timers. Good memories. But yeah, they loved those TV sets and the Dukes of Hazard a little too much.
That’s too bad they couldn’t throw out the TV sets. The Dukes of Hazard which glorifies criminals and makes the sheriff look like a total doofus, and Daisy Duke dressing super seductive in her namesake denim shorts. Something was wrong.
A bunch of professing christians would watch that evil show HEE HAW, where men acted like a bunch of whoremongering morons chasing around the Hee Haw whores (honeys) and drink, act like heathens, and had Hugh Hefner as a guest star several times, and then those hypocrites would end their show with a gospel quartet, which fooled a lot of baby christians that didn’t know better or make lukewarm christians feel comfortable in their sin. Those same Hee Haw honeys that sang gospel songs like Power In The Blood also posed for Playboy.
And yet, that hireling of SBN the Jimmy/Donnie swaggart cult was shouting “I don’t understand why God has allowed COVID-19! Why God allowed a rigged election, I don’t understand Joe Biden,” and on and on. BECAUSE ITS GODS JUDGEMENT YOU MORONIC CHARLATAN AND YOUR CULT IS GOING TO GET STRUCK THE WORST BECAUSE JUDGEMENT STARTS AT THE HOUSE OF GOD! Those that profess to be christians in other words, and it’s going to be ugly!
