If Rove is indicted, I'm goin to church. God DOES work in

[democrat in Tallahassee]

mysterious ways.

[tuvor]

1. Promise?

:)

[grytpype]

2. Well, get on your knees, Believer!

Because Rove is getting indicted for sure. I mean it's a lock.

[mcctatas]

3. OK, but just avoid anything with the words "southern baptist" anywhere

on it's sign, and watch out for crazy white guys named Pat:rofl:

[Maat]

4. Do not give one thin dime either to an Assembly of God, or

a Southern Baptist or a church with the name 'Calvary' on it, please.

It is my personal mission, as a PFLAGer (www.pflag.org), to see to it that no progressive gives another dime to the anti-gay, anti-feminist yahoos above.

HeeHee!

If Rove gets indicted, I'll be going to church this Sunday, for sure!

5. whoo - assembly of god

my brother/ sil belong. send their kids to 'christian academy'.

i took a look at the curriculum and it is weird indeed.

ahhh... this 'christian' brother who took my bedridden mother for thousands of dollars.

i have not heard of their kids planning to enlist, even though their church service on 7/4 was a full one flagwaving extravaganza.

[Maat]

6. Yep ... I guess Paul Weyrich, the architect of the current ..

strange 'conservative' movement decided to target Assembly-of-God/Pentecostal/Charismatics and Southern Baptists about decades ago.

Paul and Jan Crouch, and their kids, who are behind the shows on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) are Assembly-of-God adherents.

Sorry about your mom ... and your brother.

My in-laws all moved to Oklahoma and became Southern Baptists ... Husband now does the family interfacing (scared of what I'll say).

7. jan crouch

the crying pink haired woman?


i have to stare at their bldg every time we go past . it's so gaudy.

[Maat]

8. Yeppie.

Heard that Paul and Jan co-founded the original operation with Tami Faye et al (true or untrue)?

Are you in Orange County, living near my sister?

[yorkiemommie1]

9. no ,orange county scares me !

but every time we go down there i find myself staring at that TBN place... kinda like you have to stare at some gawdugly dress on tv.

[Maat]

10. Exactly.

I grew up there - with the most rabidly rightwing of the rightwing. They always led TWO lives - a facade for society, and the weird (kinky) private life.

My sis (41) still lives in the family property down there. SHE is a bigtime progressive, and claims that there are many more progressives down there than people think.

I'm 47, lived in SoCal my entire life - NEVER had the horror (pleasure?) of looking at that dang building (will have to ask Sis about it). My sissie works in Anaheim.

11. i'm surprised at the editorials from the OC Register

they stated the other day that they had been against the war from the start.


did you see the thread about Assembly of God in another state having their youth swallow live goldfish? Their own 'fear factor'. This is the church my fundie brother and sil ( Hawaii ) belong to. All he could talk about once was 'gay marriage'. His two boys are hidden away in christian academy ( google their curriculum sometime - what a laugh ) and will not be bound for the ME any time soon, i'll wager.

My SILs brother is very gay, but the whole holy family is in denial about it.

btw, how many gallons of gold paint do you think went into that TBN set?
