Well, I watched that channel late one night

and what a shockeroo it was. I mean, there was this poor woman, absolutely beside herself with whatever it was she felt she was doing "in the spirit." She had them lay out dozens of these white cloths on the floor, you see, and then she wallowed around on them, sweating and speaking gibberish until she nearly collapsed. Then she got her second wind and started throwing these annointed cloths on top of the people and as soon as the white cloth would descend on someone's head, whoosh! they'd collapse onto the floor.Had folks laying all over the place with these white thingys on top of them. I'm telling you, it was weird! Couldn't help but wonder what this woman would feel like in the morning after she watched the playback of this scene. I imagine it would be something like a drunk watching him or herself dancing naked on the bar. Gee whiz! What in the world is that all about? I mean, what in tarnation does this stuff benefit anyone? Give me a break...

preachers on TV

I haven't seen any for a long time -- local access -- all Jesus Love you and stuff like that
glimpses --
it's all the same --
you're right no change.
it's a formula that works every time all the time through the decades.
there's one in every crowd --
more than one it seems.
people are looking for a Messiah.
looking in the wrong place.
they should look inside themselves.
We are stronger than we think.

Ariala, don't you think that "wolves in sheeps clothing" will always disguise themselves in some form or another?  That the "wheat grows up with the tares" but yes, there are in fact some good guys preaching the Gospel on television?  By the way in fact, the white haired, hair spray guy from New Orleans - Jesse DuPlantis is one of the most hilarious and godly man on television.  He really is funny, check it out... and he KNOWS he's a riot. He LAUGHS at his hairdo... said it looks like a helmet.  He's into riding motorcycles and played in a rock band when he was younger.  These people are real.  Certainly not all of them.  As with anything, "chew the meat and spit out the bones."

END OF LESSON - INKWELL RETURNS!!!

westend, yeah, but it's been ten years since I've watched preachers on

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then some

You noticed the diamond ring, right?
He shouted, yelled, laughed, jumped, cried, pleaded, cajoled, preached hellfirer and damnation then salvation then asked for money, right?
And it looks like he got the money.
What other people got is anybody's guess.
Some got screwed, I would imagine.
