The New Black A Documentary !

2013-06-18T00:30:00.000-04:00

I know some people will probably be pissed off and not even watch based on the name of the documentary alone. Anyhow, according to internet chatter there's a new documentary that will be debuting later this month at AFI Docs Festival in Washington DC.

The Doc. will explore the relationship between the gay civil rights movement and the African American community. Yoruba Richen hopes to teardown the foolishness that African Americans are more homophobic than other segments of society, a notion that took hold after the passage of Proposition 8. Article Here!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Eyeball Licking The New Trend Among A Lost And Confused Generation?!?!??!

2013-06-17T12:57:00.002-04:00

Once again we are being force to acknowledge some very weird and unnatural behavior. Teenagers in Japan are "eyeball licking." Yep, eyeball licking. It's exactly what it sounds like.

Teens are using the act of licking one another's eyeballs to show affection, like some would do with hugging or kissing, ABC News reports. The act may have been inspired by the Japanese band Born, which features eyeball licking in a music video. Pure foolishness!

Wanetta Gibson Who Falsely Accused High School Star Brian Banks of Rape & Destroyed His Life Must Pay Up.

2013-06-17T10:34:00.000-04:00

A false witness is a very difficult thing to combat, if you don't believe me ask young Brian Banks who was falsely accused of rape he'll tell you. Once the lie is out there, it's hard to defend yourself and reputation.

According to the chatter on the net......the evil young lady who falsely accused football star Brian Banks of r@ping her is being forced to pay big time. A judge has ordered that the woman pay $2.6 million to Banks for ruining his life with false allegations. The lies caused him to lose numerous scholarship offers to college and also led to a prison sentence of over five years.

You know what really bothered me most about this particular story the young lady never apologized for her action. She never said, you know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry for lying and destroying your life. Being falsely accused really hurts and when the accusation goes public, the person who is the target can feel as though they are utterly helpless.

Stop It Single "MOM'S" This Is Not Your Day To Shine!

2013-06-16T15:41:00.000-04:00

Calm down folks and stop trying to hijack and take the shine away from the good Father's on this day. Today, is a day for celebrating father's who take care of their responsibility. I have a big ole problem with this craziness every year when Father's Day come around folks trying like HELL to take the shine away from those fathers who deserve it.

But by the same token, around this same time, I am really disappointed in 'black' people who attack the black mothers who are raising their children on their own and doing the best they know how. In the last couple of years, this back and forth on social media has almost overtaken a celebration that was meant to acknowledge good fathers.

Father and Mother Day are not celebrations about gender but instead they are celebrations about roles.....that have been assigned to male and female before the beginning of time, (in my opinion). Today is Father's day which to me mean it doesn't belong to the single mothers.

I'm sorry, just because you the single mother have the task of doing this parenting thing along doesn't mean you supposed to it wasn't design that way. There are some things God never assign a woman to do and being a father is one of them (in my opinion). Be who you are a celebrated single mother raising her kids alone, not a FATHER!

COGIC Is Going Home: Possible return of COGIC Conventions to the City of Memphis??!?!

2013-06-16T11:29:00.000-04:00

Calm down, I'm not talking about the church’s annual convocation that moved to St. Louis in 2010. No I'm talking about one of the organization other money making conventions.

According to the chatter on the net, the Church of God in Christ could be bringing one of the convention biggest money making convention back to Memphis next year. According to reports COGIC is in negotiations with the city to bring its women’s convention and Auxiliaries in Ministry convention to Memphis in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

If a deal is reached, each event could bring 10,000 to 15,000 people to the city, said John Oros, vice president and COO of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau. “These are conventions they've always done,” Oros said. “It’s the wish of the presiding bishop to try to place one, if not several conventions, back in Memphis.”

Bishops Have Come Under Fire And Have Been Accused Of "BIG BALLIN" In Choosing Pricey Extravagance San Diego Resort??!?!?!

2013-06-15T12:33:00.000-04:00

Question: If you're part of an organization that recognizes bishops would you not want your ( man of God) Bishop staying in the best that money can buy?

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops held a meeting this past week in Coronado. But some folks are up in arms and raising questions about holding the conference at one of San Diego's most expensive hotels, especially when the newly elected pope Francis has stressed thrift and living simply.

Nearly 300 bishops visited San Diego for the weeklong conference, but a concerned citizen wonders why they have chosen to stay at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort, where according to the resort's website, rooms cost between $200 and $600 a night. Video Clip Here!

Not Impressed: Isaac Carree and R. Kelly A Nice Mixture Of The Light With The Darkness.

2013-06-12T12:19:00.000-04:00

Oh what we won't do for record sales.....I tell you. If you really care to know just how off track this generation have become, when it come to God and holiness, follow the music and FaceBook, you'll get a pretty good idea. The following debate below took place Monday on Mr. Carree Facebook page. It look like Mr. Carree has decided to remix his single "Clean This House" with expert music veteran artist R. Kelly:

1st Young Lady: I actually like it!! By using R. Kelly on this record do you know how many people Isaac Carree will reach??!! I'm sure this will be played in strip clubs and other places gospel is not considered being played. People will be reached and saved...yes everyone has a past, and if peeps are affected by this record then the work of Lord is being fulfilled. The Word doesn't change, but the delivery changes with each generation. This 'un-churched' even 'churched' generation will better perceive this then the seasoned saints. God used many in the Bible that was not for him to get the people's attention!

Young Man: A nice mixture of the light with the dark. But wait, can you mix light with darkness? Aren't we supposed to be separate from the world? 2 Corinthians 6:17. Are we singing to sound like Jesus or R Kelly? Not impressed.

1st Young Lady: Yes in the club! Isaac is not the first or last...the Clark Sisters, Kirk Franklin, the Winans, Bebe and CeCe, Rizen, Kierra Sheard, etc have all had a song or two blasted in the clubs. Not debating, I'm just speaking of experience. I'm not denying His power...actually He has the power to go in clubs. As a matter of fact, that was how my life was changed...in the club with drink in hand listening to a MaryMary song. I was convicted, I repented, and then on made an effort to change and still to this day living for Christ because I seen what He can do. If His power and anointing can come in the club and change me then my vote is yes! So, I'm all for spreading the gospel in the clubs, strip clubs, or anyone else. You don't know who life is being saved! Sorry if I wasn't changed while "Come to Jesus" was playing. WOW!

Any time you can find a gospel star bold enough to add an accused unrepeated pedophile to a record......will do just about anything under the sun for that filthy luker. SHAME!

2013-06-12T02:10:00.000-04:00

If you're wondering where are today's spiritual leaders voices on matters such as transgender bathrooms? Well you don't have to wonder no more, Pastor Deitrick Haddon is speaking up and out about such issues.”

On The Road To 20 With Bishop Paul S. Morton: The 6N1 Conference Celebrating 20 Years In The Gospel.

2013-06-12T00:30:00.000-04:00

It's on! the countdown to the 20th Annual Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International Conference in Louisville, KY, July 3rd-5th. They're calling it a 6N1 conference.

What's a 6N1 conference you might ask? Well it's when you got little mini conferences that's part of the big major conference. These little mini conference which are led by dynamic men and women of God. Who have been chosen well in advance and well trained for the task at hand. But in reality it's the same as a mega conference, but instead of using mega, a different moniker is used to describe said conference.......So you get 6 major conferences going on at the same time:

1). Senior Pastors Conference
2). Women Conference
3). Worship Conference
4). Men Conference
5). Young Adults Conference
6). Children and Youth Conferences

(6N1) I like that!

Question of The Day: Why Is The Media In A Rush To Label Edward Snowden A Hero And are Quickly Asking That He Be Pardon?

2013-06-10T12:48:00.000-04:00

I don't get it, why is there such a big rush in the media to quickly label Edward Snowden a "hero" with a quick call for a pardon, WHY?

Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former CIA technical assistant who has stepped forward to say he's the source of explosive leaks about government surveillance programs was among "thousands upon thousands" of such analysts hired to manage and sift through "huge amounts of data." Article Here!

I'm sorry but in my opinion,he's more of a traitor who needs to be held to the full extent of the law. This isn't a case of whistleblowing this is a case of giving out classified information when he was not authorized to do so. I hope the government go after him.

Lord Have Mercy: Is This The Behavior Of A PASTOR!?!?!?!?!?

2013-06-10T08:59:00.001-04:00

I just ran across this little tidbit of info and video about co-pastor Sun Ho, the wife of Pastor Kong Hee......who's the head pastor of City Harvest Church in Singapore.

From the look of things Sun Ho, is a co-pastor who wanted to have a successful secular singing career along with her pastoral duties. According to the article, a few years ago she (allegedly) spent some of the church money in order to produce the music video for her song "China Wine."

Now a criminal trial is set to begin to determine whether City Harvest Church funds were used in order to produce the music video for her song "China Wine" which is posted below. Question do the below video represents behavior that represents anything even remotely close to Biblical Christian morals and values????? Seriously $13 million to boost the musical career of this woman. (Warning: This video is PG-13 at best).

NEW MUSIC: J. Long And Angel Taylor “Woman of God” Remix!

2013-06-08T00:30:00.000-04:00

This is not your traditional Gospel message at all but the message in itself is truly a powerful one. J. Long new Christian Hip Hop artist along with award winning Gospel singing sensation ANGEL of the female Gospel group Trin-I-Tee 5:7.....has cause quite a stir within the Gospel community with their latest “Woman of God” remix.

The lyric describes a woman of substance and class, but more importantly a woman who believes in the heavenly father. 'J. Long' asks God to send him a woman molded as a God fearing woman, and someone who he knows will make a great wife, mother and complete his life.

Then you have 'ANGEL' a woman asking God for a man who walks in the ordered steps of the heavenly father and will add to her dynasty as a wife and mother and remain as a child of God is a message well conveyed over this four minute track. LOVE the message and video! Source:

Church Daycare Worker About To Sue The Church Because She Was Fired For Being Pregnant and Unwed?!?!?!

2013-06-07T12:04:00.000-04:00

This incident took place last year! But the attitude of this lady is surprising and way out of line. How in the world did we end up with these Burger Kings attitudes and thinking? If you have unprotected sex it's a strong possible you could get pregnant......and if you're in a christian environment having a child out of wedlock could mean you're a bad influence.......rather you like it or not.

Venita Short a preschool worker said she was fired because she's single and pregnant. Ms. Short said she was fired after telling the staff she was pregnant and not planning to marry anytime soon.
Ms. Short said the unwed pregnancy is her personal business and should have nothing to do with her job.....Do you agree?

Spiritual Father Bishop Wiley Jackson: Is It Biblical To Refer To A Pastor As A Spiritual Father??

2013-06-07T01:00:00.000-04:00

Bring Dad to church with you this Father's Day, June 16, 2013.
Bring your father to the Gospel Tabernacle 8AM service in Stone Mountain or 11AM service in Atlanta and get a FREE digital photo. If you would like to take a photo with Bishop Wiley Jackson, you must RSVP no later than 2:00PM on Thursday, June 13th.

First off, I don't have anything against Bishop Wiley Jackson nor his teaching.....I'm just being curious here about the term Spiritual Fathers.

I receive the above E-blast in my email this morning and notice that the Bishop was referred to as "your Spiritual Father." I like to know where did the idea originated from? If not mistaken didn't Jesus say call no man father while you're on the earth? Can the idea of a Spiritual Father, cause men to put their trust in flesh as opposed to relying on the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God? Just asking!
