Pastor: Lord Revealed Next Fla. Governor

By BRENDAN FARRINGTON
AP Political Writer

MIAMI (AP) --

A reverend who introduced Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist during
a breakfast with other pastors Monday said the Lord came to him in a dream two years
ago and told him Crist would be the state's next governor.

The Rev. O'Neal Dozier said that before the dream he did not know Crist, nor had Crist
made known his plans to run for governor.

"The Lord Jesus spoke to me and he said 'There's something I want you to know,'" said
Dozier, pastor of the Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach.
"'Charlie Crist will be the next governor of the state of Florida.'"

Since then, Dozier has spent time with Crist and talked with him at length about policy.
He told the group that Crist would be uncompromising in his Christian faith.

"I introduce to you, as the Lord Jesus has said, the next governor of the state of Florida,
Charlie Crist," Dozier said.

Crist's first words were, "Well, as they say, the praise doesn't get any higher."

Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, who is opposing Crist in the primary,
wouldn't comment
on the remarks after the event.

Afterward, Dozier said he met Crist two months after the dream at a conference
of Republican leaders from around the South.
He told Crist about the dream, and Crist replied that he would run.

"It's the most amazing thing anyone's every told me," Crist said.
"It's beyond overwhelming, but the reverend has a very strong faith in his heart
and he's a good man. I'm very grateful for his help and his support and his belief."

Gov. Jeb Bush, who appointed Dozier to a group that nominates judges in South Florida,
didn't directly respond to the remark, but praised Dozier.

"Far be it from me to judge about people's faiths and what occurs because of it,"
Bush said...as he crawled under a table! :rofl:

"He is very sincere. Rev. Dozier's a good man."

7. more on "Charlie" Crist

http://www.thestraights.com/news/charlie-crist.htm

While you might want Charlie Crist to look into the activities of Straight, Inc., Crist could feel some sort of obligation to Straight cofounder Mel Sembler. After all, the Semblers are big financial backers of Crist and Florida's Republican Party. Mel and Betty Sembler, limited to maximum personal contributions of $500 per person per election for a candidate, gave $500 apiece to Crist's campaign on two separate occasions in 2000 and Betty gave another $500 in 2001. Their sons and daughters-in-law contributed to Crist's campaign also. Brent forked over $1,500 between 2000 and 2002 with Debbie making matching contributions. Greg gave $500 in 2001 and 2002; Diane and Steve gave $500 each in 2000. Mel's friend Walter Loebenberg, former President of Straight Foundation, former President of Drug Free America Foundation, and founder of the Florida Holocaust Museum, gave $500 twice in 2000 and once in 2001. Edith Loebenberg gave $500 in 2002. Actually Charlie Crist had almost 10,000 individual donors like Wackenhut which donated $500 in both 2000 and 2001. But like Jeb Bush, Charlie got his real money from committees. The Republican Party of Florida boosted his campaign with a donation of over $275,000. Of course, between 1996 and 2002 Mel Sembler and his clan donated $100,012.75 to the Republican Party of Florida. Mr. Loebenberg kicked in another $21,000 to the Republican Party of Florida during the same period. At the national level Mel donated $2,000 to Crist in 1997. Betty gave $2,000 in 1996 and 1997; Brent $2,000 in 1997, and Greg $1,000 in 1996.


Was Charlie Crist in The Seed? The Seed was a chain of controversial juvenile drug rehab programs founded in Ft. Lauderdale in 1970 by a Playboy Club comedian named Art Barker. The St. Petersburg times once reported that Barker had a mail order degree in psychology. The US Senate studied The Seed in 1974 and determined that it was using brainwashing methods like those employed by North Koreans on American servicemen in the Korean War. Pinellas County School Board Chairman Reverend A. L. Albers visited The Seed - Fort Lauderdale in 1973 and reported, "I didn't get any feeling of brainwashing, but even if there were, we're all brainwashed somewhat and is it really bad if it's for the good?"

Programs like The Seed and Straight indoctrinate parents to make positive public pronouncements about the program in what is called "paying back." Parents find themselves proudly releasing to the media that they had a kid in Straight the way they normally boast about having a kid in Harvard or West Point. Like Straight, The Seed seemed to get its share of children from wealthy and prominent families. The local newspaper reported that Pinellas County residents Dr. and Mrs. George Moench had a son in The Seed - Fort Lauderdale; banker Ed Frost had a child there too. Most board members and activists for theStraights get involved because they have a child in the program. Dr. Jack D. Taylor, Ph.D. (education and psychology) was the acting president of Broward College in 1973. He publicly stated that Barker saved his daughter. Dr. Taylor joined the Seed staff as administrator. Pinellas County Judge Jack E. Dadswell had two of his three kids in The Seed. From his bench he sent many kids to The Seed in lieu of jail. In 1973 Mel Sembler placed his son Brent into The Seed. The US Senate report on brainwashing and The Seed was headlined in the St. Petersburg Times and was instrumental in drying up The Seed, but that did not deter Mr. Sembler. He founded his own chain of destructive drug rehab programs that he based on The Seed model and called it Straight, Inc. If anything, Straight was far, far worse than The Seed.

The Seed was controversial, but those who had a kid in the program swore by it. No one though, especially the parents, was allowed behind the curtain to see how Barker performed his magic. So why would a prominent citizen stick his neck out for a controversial program like The Seed unless he too had a child in the program and was convinced of its effectiveness. How in the world did Dr. Charles J. Crist, MD, then vice chairman of the Pinellas County School Board (other times its chairman) get involved in The Seed? According to the local newspaper, not only was he on The Seed's Advisory Board, but on several occasions he asked the school system to cooperate with The Seed. Imagine a man of letters pushing a program founded by an alleged, academic fraud! Like Straight, one of The Seed's most effective recruitment methods was having Seedlings rat on brothers and sisters, and friends. Brent Sembler, who is now vice chairman of the Sembler Company, has been good friends with Charlie Crist since high school. Brent Sembler was in The Seed. Could Brent Sembler have gotten Charlie Crist into The Seed, or vice versa? Former Seed Advisory Board member Dr. Charles Crist is Attorney General Charlie Crist's father.

17. Interesting!

[bluefish]

8. Good grief

The lord spoke with him? Doesn't the Lord have better things to do than get involved in local politics? There is a big world out there...

[gratuitous]

10. That's my question

I mean, if the Lord's going to speak at all, don't you think He'd want to impart the cure for cancer, or disclose a few lottery numbers? Picking the winner of the Florida governor's race? BFD.

But what a pretty pass we've come to, when a politician, told that the Lord is picking him to win, puts the lunatic on the dais with him. There was a time when the politician would smile indulgently and ask his security detail to get someone like that the hell away from him. Now, it's the GOP strategery, apparently, to select Jesus as one's running mate. Nope, can't think of anything bad that might ensue from that!

[brentspeak]

12. Holy cow, what a kook.

[Booster]

13. People who say these kinds of things outloud in public, should be

barred from preaching in churches. Certifiable.

[Vickers]

15. Can't God do better than Capt. Tanboy?

:shrug:

[demo dutch]

16. I live in Fl, and ask myself that question all the time!!!

Crist is a career politician, governorship is yet another stepping stone towards where ever he want sto go next, as he continues to nurture his longstanding relationship with Bushco.

[Jade Fox]

18. It's time to start saying to people like this.....

You do NOT speak for God, you do NOT know what God thinks, and if you believe you do you're either a charlatan trying to manipulate people, or you're crazy!
