I found this web site today doing my usual Goggle searches:
http://theexorcistorg.blogspot.com/
This is another of Bobbie E. Larson's acolytes and what is on that web site has a lot in common with the crap Larson sells his followers. Plus a few things Larson shouldn't let his DWJD team members try to sell.
**************
DEMONIZATION DIAGNOSIS:
DO I HAVE DEMONS?
Just Check The List Of Evil Spirits Below To Find Out:
MOST COMMON GROUPING OF DEMONS WE ENCOUNTER OFTEN:
Pharmakeia, Rejection, Anger, Hatred, Rage, Bitterness, Resentment, Lust, Fornication, Masturbation, Accusation, Swearing, Cuss, Pride, Retaliation, Adultery, Lying, Deceit, Alcohol, Nicotine, Drug Addictions, Car Accidents, Fear, Envy, Lawsuit, Rebellion, Unforgiveness, Selfishness, Loneliness, Depression, Enmity, Witchcraft, Idolatry, Divination, Abuse, Pain, Homicide, Prostitution, Violence, Cursing, Sodomy, Pornography, Homosexuality, Devour, Blasphemy, Incest, Child Molesting, Comatose, Epilepsy, Disobedience, Murder, Jealousy, Lesbianism, Competition, Divorce, Self-Mutilation, Infirmity, Suicide, Abortion, Incurable Diseases, False Religion, Gluttony, Affair, Ungodly Soul-Ties, Persecution.
****************************
So let me get this straight. If I had an auto accident I supposedly have a demon?
If I ever lusted ( which is a normal sexual urge BTW) I supposedly have a demon.
****************
UNDERSTAND THIS:
WHEN "DEMONS OF INFIRMITY", SUCH AS CANCER, DIABETES, HEART CONDITION, FIBROMYALGIA, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DEPRESSION, EPILEPSY, ARTHRITIS, OSTEOPOROSIS, SCOLIOSIS, ETC..., ARE CAST OUT OF PEOPLE'S BODIES, THEN THEY, THE PEOPLE, GET TOTALLY HEALED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY REASONS WHY CHRISTIAN EXORCISM PERFORMED BY EXPERTS, SUCH AS BOB LARSON AND MYSELF, IS SO IMPORTANT !!!
BROTHER CARLOS A. OLIVEIRA

[[Turning imitation Jeff Foxworthy]]
If you were rejected at any time in your life... you might have a demon.
If you touched yourself and felt natural pleasure .. you might have a demon.
If you were ever lonely .. you might have a demon.
If you were ever involved in a lawsuit .. you might have a demon.
If you ever feit pain .. you might have a demon.
If you ever suffered from being molested as a child or have epilepsy .. you might have a demon.
Oookay,, does anyone beside me find this crap sickening? This is obviously spiritual PREDATION on people who are fearful and gullible. Well he IS following his leader who is indeed a spiritual predator.
And OC " Brother Carlos" has-- surprise surprise-- exorcisms over the phone. Like Larson used to do on his radio show.
The pathetic part of this is if someone had diabetes and thought they were " healed" by this shyster, they would drop taking care of their diabetes, which can lead to tragedy. Also with those suffering from cancer and other diseases. In their gullible trusting of these snake-oil pseudo-spiritual salesmen, they would in their BELIEF of being " cured" make their diseases worse and even die when they need not die so soon.
(( sigh)) Some years ago in a chat room I used to frequent there was a woman who believed the name it and claim it crap of seed faith assholes like Copeland, She actually claimed she has four " Gifts of the Spirit" and was so self-deluded she actually said she no longer sins and that disease was caused by sin. Well, Miss Sinless found out one day her kidneys shut down and in a hospital test she got the bad news-- cancer. Believing in the spiritual healing crap she went in the chat room and had one Xian twerp pray for her to be healed while she did the " accept the gift of healing" bit. Problem was she wasn't healed. The cancer metasticized and she woke up to reality too damn late for chemo to stop it. She died leaving five children without a mother. The guy online who mislead her to think she was cured, OC, didn't try to support her kids.
THAT is what this faith healing, "deliverance" crap gets you.
This web site also has the " spiritual freedom ministries" label, which adds to the evidence this guy is a Branch Larsonian. And yep he calls himself :
"BROTHER CARLOS,
Exorcist & Demon Buster - San Jose, California.
A Bob Larson's DWJD Core Team Member"
Whatever he actually is in connection to McExorcist, I can see by some of his links he's not all that up on a number of things, For example he uses John Todd as one of his sources. Todd FYI, was exposed years ago as a fraud hiding behind Christianity so he can, to put it bluntly, get attention and have access to young, naive females. Bobbie should have more control over his followers, because if the spotlight shines on " Brother Carlos", the shit's gonna flow towards McExorcist's direction.
It gets worse. " Carlos Oliveira" is the name of a character in the video game " Resident Evil".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Oliveira
Does Larson ever do background checks of his DWJD team members to make sure their criminal past might not sully HIS multilevel marketing scam?
http://www.meetup.com/members/6546181/
http://www.linkedin.com/in/exorcist
From the looks of it he's been trying various meetup groups to sell himself.
And yes the phrase " spiritual predator" again comes to mind.
This guy feels slimy, too much for even Larson to not notice.
Gee Bob, you REALLY need to screen your associates better.
The " release statement" he has people sign before he : treats" them looks suspiciously a lot like a condensed version of the CYA legal papers Larson has his victims sign for years.
In fact, some of the stuff I AM seeing on this guy's web site, if he was a Larson lackey, would be really embarrassing for Bobbie to be associated with. The fraudulent " psychic surgery" crap, the "spiritual water" drinking testimonials, etc. These are not credible practices at all. AAMOF they are classic SCAMS and RIP OFFS.
James Randi and others showed how this "psychic surgery" can easily be faked. And why should you buy water from an " exorcist" when you can bless your own water and do just as well?
And I'm sorry but the O\o/0\ crap is hardly professional.
Larson's disease is spreading. :-(
There are two small funnies here. One is on his web site where he has " how demons enter" followed by "click here".
The second one is a YouTube fraud video called " SATANIC VAMPIRE EXPOSED - WMUR CH 9 - NEW HEMPSHIRE"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnCV2fMZFf4
And yes the video has the classic dead vamp as dust with clothes still intact image. This from a TV station, which pretty much tells you the low preponderances of actual facts and the high sensationalism angle.
And yes " HEMP" should be a clue here. Its the Oliveira misspelling, BTW.

I found a report about a seven year old girl going trick-or-treating finding one of those damn Chick tracks in her goodie bag with the message that children like her will go to hell. Naturally her father is upset about this:

Trick-or-treaters given booklet that shows kids dying, going to hell
Story Published: Nov 24, 2009 at 11:11 PM PST
By Elissa Harrington KVAL News
Video
ALBANY, Ore - Most parents check through their kids Halloween candy for unwrapped goodies or expired candy bars. But one family tell KVAL their child was given a booklet that had cartoons of kids going to hell.
The cover of booklet shows a smiling, cartoon witch standing over her cauldron with the words "Happy Halloween." But open it up, and this booklet has anything but happy endings.
It follows child trick-or-trickers who die and end up in Hell.
"I think it's wrong," says one Albany father who does not want to reveal his name.
He tells KVAL his 7-year old daughter got this booklet, which looks like any old comic book, while trick or treating in downtown Albany. He says the cartoons have traumatized her.
In one scenario, 3 boys enter a haunted house and fall down a trap door to hell. A demon awaits them at the bottom and says, "Welcome to the Abyss."
In another scene, a boy trick-or-treating on Halloween is hit by a car. He goes to Hell where he is told he will spend eternity. "Welcome to the Abyss, Timmy," says the cartoon devil. "You'll be here for ETERNITY...Because you died in your sins."
"I really don't understand why somebody would do some horrible thing like this," says the Albany man. His says his daughter now has a lot of questions about going to hell. "And I don't know exactly how to answer them," he says.
On the back of the book is a phone number for the Brownsville Mennonite Church. Pastor Arlen Krabill says those booklets do belong to the church but they were not supposed to be given out on Halloween.
He says a member of the church found them in a box and distributed them himself.
"It wasn't even necessarily representing our church," he says. "It was just one individual who wanted to give the message out - the serious message - of God out on Halloween."
Although Pastor Krabill's church does not celebrate Halloween, he says they do not believe children who do will go to Hell.
Still, the father we spoke to strongly believes this was a trick, that made its way into his daughter's bag of treats.
"I think it's up to the parent if they want to teach their child about God and life," he says. "I don't think it's appropriate to scare little children to go to church."
Pastor Krabill says he is sorry that these were handed out. He says he has spoken with the church member who distributed them.
The booklets were made by "Chick Publications." The company puts out many religious booklets and cartoons similar to this one.
*************************
Here is the usual anti-Halloween tract Chick spews out:
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0032/0032_01.asp
My basic response to this is that any so-called Christian who thinks passing out such crappy tracts to children during Halloween should be charged with attempted child abuse. Would they be any better than some idiot giving trick or treaters condoms of graphic sexual photos? Same type of inappropriate invasions.
BTW the descriptions of the repeated graphic depictions of children going to hell are shadows of the Hell House crap the Xians pulled every Halloween.
What I would like to see is actual Christians speaking up against this crap. Not a chance of that happening, sad to say. Some Xians feed on this crap, focusing more attention on "satan" and " evil" rather than what their alleged savior taught, that they become in effect a form of the evil they claim to fight against.

You'd think that I, liking the vampire genre, would go nutso over this Twilight saga stuff, right?
Not when the damn thing is so disgustingly overhyped and the " chastity in love" theme simply does not work.
Bear in mind this Twilight " phenomenon" is geared towards the teens the " tweens" as they are now called. Every time I see a photo of " Edward" I really want to say' Oh REALLY now?"
I haven't the patience to wait through the long line at the movie theater with the Twilight twits but I did find out a few things about New Moon that made me laugh. One that they made Sekhmet, a solar Egyptian goddess, a frigging night being. And this BS about the Etruscians having a vampire lineage connection.
Yeah, right, tell me more bad historical references and misuse of mythology, why don't you?
(( SIGHS)) Aside from the fact that there is plenty to " borrow" from that would be relevant to the vampire mythos, the incredibly bad references makes me wonder if the author of this tripe is deliberately milking her fans or just plain smacking together what she thinks sounds good.
I like the idiotic crap of vampires supposedly "sparkling" like glitter in the sunlight. Vampires are predators and the LAST thing they need is for humans to see how unusual they are by looking like they are covered in pixie dust. Gimme a break here!
Yes, yes I know there's a recurrence of popularity of vampire fiction right now, particularly with the TV series "True Blood" and " The Vampire Diaries". Too bad " Moonlight" only had one season. But, you know, so far what I've seen is really not that interesting. A lot of it seems to be imitating Twilight, which is ironically funny come to think of it.
I'm sorry but the werewolves versus vamps thing was done before. Ever see Underworld?
I've been a reader of this subject way back since Rice did her " Interview With a Vampire". Goddess knows I've read a lot of crappy books and very few vampire fiction books that were original and/or interesting. Sorry the vampire romance books are fun to read but darn easy to satirize.
What I look for, like any honest reader does, is interesting characters and a good story. Edward needs therapy and so far what I've read from the Twilight books sounds like they are a bunch of morons. No real depth in any of the characters. And no this vampire love/chastity thing does not count as depth. It is at best a moronic plot device.
What concerns me is that some naive teen who may go into the vampyre/ Goth thing might actually think a " vampire" she meets is like Edward when in fact it is a damn sexual predator. And yes the "vampire" community has had a few sexual predators taking advantage of the fantasy. That is REALITY.
No matter what I think of the " real vampyre" subculture, the problem is that teenagers who might think something like Twilight is about the " purity of love" don't realize that sexual predators take advantage of people like them, give them a line about how they " love" their precious young human, and then use them.
Frankly the Twilight hype nauseates me because what its based upon really isn't that good at all. Its like the " Left Behind" books, Lotta hype but the actual storytelling is bad and the characters are two dimensional.
Wanna know how bad it is? The Buffy and Angel novels are better. And as a rule, novels based on TV series kinda suck. I have a few Smallville novels because I like the TV series and while I understand they are written for young adults, I find the writing stile too milquetoasty for my taste.
I do like the Jim Butcher Dresden Files series though, even though they are obviously formulaic.
Try complex characters and reasonably believable plots, please.

Donald Trump " jokingly" said that maybe Prejean could go into the porn industry and make her millions. Seeing as women IN the porn industry are in effect low wage disposables, she'd be more financially well off if she just plain did the call girl, hooker, striptease dancer route.
http://allieiswired.com/archives/2009/11/donald-trump-tells-carrie-prejean-to-do-porn/
And OC her former Xian backers are sneaking AWAY from her as quietly as they can after her other eight maturbation vids and 30 "sexy" pics came out.
http://jezebel.com/5408320/prejean-losing-pulpit-as-sex-tape-scandal-thickens
*****************
As more damning information comes out about Carrie Prejean's sex tape, conservatives who rushed to embrace her when she was a squeaky-clean gay-marriage-hater are pulling away.
The sex tape, which allegedly shows Prejean pleasuring herself, initially seemed like a potential PR boost for her book, Still Standing. But the book's Amazon sales rank of #4,786 isn't terribly impressive (though it's #34 in "political doctrines"), and new revelations about her past seem to have soured her relations with supporters. These revelations include not just the tape itself, but a TMZ interview with its alleged intended recipient. This "boyfriend," whom Prejean said she "loved about and cared about," says he only met her in person once, for a four-day stretch they spent in a hotel. He also says she made him at least fifteen sex tapes, all when she was over 18, and that she and her lawyers pressured him to say she was underage — presumably so the tapes would be considered child pornography and not released. Though the ex remains anonymous, it's still in his interest to claim he would never have sex with an underage girl, and it's probably wise to take all his words with a grain of salt. But for the Christian groups that used to back Prejean, they may be the last straw.
The National Organization of Marriage, which once defended Prejean with the words, "Hollywood will dance its tribal war dance over her body–the hatred generated against her has been extraordinary–but Carrie will be free to define her own mission and message from now on," has now removed its press releases in support of her from its website, along with the ad above. And lawyer Charles LiMandri, who works with NOM and used to represent Prejean, now says,
I figured I'd help out for a couple of weeks and that would be it. But the attention continued so I stayed involved. Now that the mediation is over and the case I represented her on is done, I probably will not be involved with her as her attorney in any action going forward.
He also downplays her involvement with NOM, for whom she once recorded robocalls, saying, "It was one day. Then people got angry, so she ended her involvement." Blogger Ed Brayton writes,
[...] God knows, and the public knows, and the NOM now knows, that Prejean is just another shallow, vapid Paris Hilton wannabe draping herself in the Bible while violating most of its precepts. She's the female equivalent of John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Newt Gingrich, David Vitter and innumerable others who place themselves on a moral pedestal while violating everything they claim to stand for as soon as the cameras are turned off (or in Prejean's case, turned on).
The sad thing about Prejean's fall from grace is that she didn't do anything wrong. If it's true that she was of age, her sex tapes weren't illegal, and unlike Mark Sanford, she didn't disappear from elected office to cheat on a partner. All she did was masturbate in front of her cell phone camera, and possibly have a fling in a hotel room with a guy who turned out to be indiscreet. That guy says, "Really, I mean if she was just herself and she'd just take the route of ‘Hey I just like to party and I like to have a great time and I'm hot,' hey, that sells too." It might have sold — but more importantly, it would have been honest. Instead, Prejean chose to stake her fame on judging other people's relationships. So while her sexual choices don't deserve condemnation, it's hard not to be a little gleeful that her punishment for hypocrisy is to be shunned by the very people she courted under false pretenses.
*******************************
Wait, doesn't Bobbie Larson do the " spirit of Jezebel" stuff as part of his " exorcisms"?
Maybe Prejean can get her " demon" spirit exorcised by Larson-- for his fee, OC. You know, give him her vids and photos.
I do agree if she just said she likes to " party" and be honest about all this and use it to show how pornography or whatever does affect even young women today to act like that, then she would have survived this instead of hiding like she's doing now. The point still is not what she said about marriage but her hypocrisy and dishonesty about all of this.
If she just said, for example, that she didn't do her contractural obligations out of protest, she might have gotten away with it, publicity-wide, though not in the lawsuit. If she had said that she had breast implants to " improve" her figure to a more (ahem) womanly look, she might have gotten away with that. If she explained her videos and photos to her ex boyfriend were simply youthful naivete in love with a guy and who thought she could keep that guy in "love" with her by showing her " treats" and giving him a clue of what he'll get once they are married, she could have gotten that scenario swallowed by some folks.
But she didn't do any of that. Probably because she's an opportunist and frankly dumb.
I read some of the reviews of her book " Still Standing" at the Amazon web site. Some say its badly written. I wouldn't doubt that. She really doesn't impress me as literate, Her little temper tantrum on Larry King Live was that of an immature teenager rather than of someone who simply explained why she couldn't talk about the settlement and why she refused to talk to callers.
In all honesty, she should just plain get the vids and the photos registered to her and contract them out so she can control where they appear in and get an income from it. Because people seem to want to see her masturbating more than but her crappy book ( no surprise there).
She reminds me of what Jessica Hahn did after the Jim Bakker sex scandal went public. She CLAIMED Bakker gave her a Mickey and supposedly raped her while she was helpless, supposedly because Bakker wanted a "virgin". Problem was when it became public she appeared looking like the eighties suntanned porn actress, complete with revealing clothes. So much for a " church secretary". She finally went to showing semi nude pics of herself on either Penthouse or Playboy, with the claim that she was " reclaiming" her body. In her case, while I doubted the Micky/ virgin claim, I did feel some sympathy for her because the Bakker extortionists were callous to her and she didn't keep a radio show of hers she obviously set her heart on having. But I highly doubt she was a virgin when Bakker " did" her.
BTW Skippy I thought you would like the Paris Hilton reference in the C&P I put here.
I really don't feel sorry for Prejean, though.

I just read through Witchvox that actor Edward Woodward died.
Why Witchvox? Woodward played the virginal Catholic police officer in the original ( and better) " Wicker Man" movie.
Woodward did a number of other good acting roles over the years, including his TV series " The Equalizer". I remember him also as the Ghost of Christmas Present in the Christmas Carol version with George C. Scott.

The above is the all caps crap from his web site.
Here is the addie of the UStream site he uses:

Poor egotist, He HAS to have his heavily made up mug on some broadcast somewhere. His " Real Exorcist" " reality series went bottoms up in the UK and didn't do very well Halloween 2008.And let's not mention how the pilot for "his" TV drama series " Demon" was made but didn't sell.
( AHEM) Well, I sure hope his little chat monitor monkey can figure out which user to block. I can think of two women he used on his "reality" series and one rival " exorcist" who would love to make a visit or two.

Carrie Prejean, good old Miss Family Values, shows more of her real self as the days go by and shes trying to sell her book.
She'd be better off selling her sex tapes.
Seems that Prejean's sex tape she supposedly made for her ex-boyfriend , the one shown at the Mis USA Pageant lawsuit was not only made AFTER she was 18, but she also made seven other explicit videos.

Worse still, poor little innocent Prejean asked her ex to LIE about her age when she made the tapes.
And golly gee, she threatens to walk off the Larry King set.

Porn Kings Trying to Release Prejean Sex Tape
Posted Nov 13th 2009 5:33PM by TMZ Staff
Carrie PrejeanThe world's largest porn company has obtained a copy of the Carrie Prejean solo sex tape -- and TMZ has learned they're desperately trying to release it.
The porn company -- Vivid Entertainment -- tells us they obtained the tape legally, but they want Carrie to sign off on it personally before it goes wide. Good luck with that...
As TMZ first reported, the solo sex tape was played in front of several people during settlement negotiations between Prejean and the Miss USA Pageant just a few weeks ago. Once Prejean saw the tape, she instantly dropped her $1 million demand.
For the record, TMZ has had the tape for weeks, but elected not to publish it -- and we have not disseminated it.
Vivid Prez Steven Hirsch tells TMZ, "The third party that brought the tape to Vivid affirmed that she was over 18 years of age at the time it was ma

Carrie Prejean Pulls Out of Speaking Gig

Carrie PrejeanTMZ has learned Carrie Prejean just pulled out of a talk she was supposed to give this afternoon at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington D.C. -- an exclusive club for Republicans only.
An insider at the Capitol Hill Club tells TMZ Carrie canceled five minutes before she was supposed to speak because her camp wanted to avoid a repeat of last night's "Larry King Live" fiasco -- when she almost walked off the set.
Carrie faced a fresh wave of criticism this morning after her former hookup told us she wanted him to lie about her sex tape and tell people she was underage when she filmed it ... when she was really

Prejean's Ex BF: Carrie Wanted Me to Lie
Posted Nov 12th 2009 9:30AM by TMZ Staff
Carrie Prejean's ex-boyfriend -- the guy to whom she sent the XXX solo video -- tells TMZ Carrie and company called him last week and tried getting him to "lie" and say she was 17 when she shot the video.
Carrie Prejean
During an audio interview with TMZ, the man -- who asked us not to reveal his identity -- says Carrie sent him the video when they were involved with each other in 2007. He says Carrie sent him numerous explicit videos and insists the one in question was shot when she was 20.
We have verified this is indeed the guy to whom Carrie sent her solo video -- which ultimately torpedoed her settlement with Miss California USA.

Okay, let me see here.
() She claims to be a moral Christian, yet excuses her boob job as Biblical.
() She makes EIGHT porno videos (. of we know SO FAR) most of not all of which were made when she was of legal age
() She makes explicit bare boobed photos which she claimed were made when she wasn't aware of-- while she was looking straight at the camera.
() She claims her crown was taken away from her because of what she said about marriage being for straights only-- while failed to fulfill her obligations.
() She claims the ONE porno vid she did was a mistake, yet forgets to mention the seven others she also made.
() She makes porno photos of herself, using a mirror. Guess she wasn't looking when she pressed the shutter button again and again and again.....
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/exclusive-30-nude-photos-8-sex-tapes-carrie-prejean-surface
And all this while she claims to be a devout Christian, full of morality.
(( ahem)) So in those videos, does she show the Biblical way to suck cock and swallow?
Gee, what does the Bible say about bearing false witness ( the asking ex to lie about her age)?
Unlike Swaggart and Jim Bakker, a Prejean sex video would sell-- though judging by how she's been acting lately, her acting ability would be pretty bad. There's a good reason why there are no Academy Awards for porn acting.
I see I've been too kind to her before. Prejean couldn't come across any more sluttier if she and her ex boyfriend filmed their "intimate encounters".
And you KNOW if she wasn't shy about her making porn for her boyfriend, she ALSO made porn WITH him as well.
Come on Carrie!!! Show it all!!!!
( And she probably will, after all this. Make herself a name in the " adult entertainment" industry. That will be for once she would NOT be a hypocrite.)
So much for Christian modesty....
Man, I LOVE her hypocrisy!

Once again a Google search of Bob Larson's name in blogs creates something worth noting not for the BL crap but for what the blogger went through, this time about the Joel's Army cult and how ironically dogemperor's love of heavy metal saved him/ her.
http://nolongerquivering.com/2009/11/05/a-culture-of-fear-built-on-a-thousand-little-lies/
I apologize for not knowing dogemperor's gender as I am typing this. I haven't done a comprehensive search through the web site yet but decided the account was worthy of mentioning.
For awhile I've been musing about doing a novel dramatizing the Dominionism threat to the civil liberties of everyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do and how if they had the power and got IN power, they would make what Hitler and Stalin did look like a picnic by comparison.
Joel's Army is one of the branches of Dominion Now theology ( and its other various names) and I know a little about it, thanks to Sarah Palin's involvement and the publicity behind that. I have to say that these people are dangerous, not only to the poor kids they slam this crap into their heads and imprison their souls, but to the rest of us once they have enough brainwashed minions to enforce their twisted views.
Having been fortunate enough not to have my childhood and adolescence afflicted by that restrictive, totalitarian Xian cult mentality, I have to rely upon accounts of those that escaped to tell me details of what life ( such as it is) was like inside these cults. And, judging from what dogemperor says, he or she even wound up in a mental ward because of the teachings.
Guess I should be looking up more stories by " walkaway' ex-Dominionists.

Olbermann tonight did a bit on Carrie Prejean and her whining how she's supposedly being denied her free speech-- while doing three interviews in 24 hours. He rightly calls her a hypocrite, which she is, and sneers at her excuses for her semi-nude photos and her sex video she made for her boyfriend.
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/05/keith-olbermann-calls-out-carrie-prejean/
http://www.theweek.com/article/index/96575/Keith_Olbermann_vs_Carrie_Prejean
Now one web site claims Olbermann is being misogynistic here. Actually he is not. O' Reiley would have leered at the porn video like he leered at the former beauty queen whose risque pics were revealed and she lost her crown ( unfairly IMO). Olbermann was not being a woman hater in his comments about Prejean. He was pointing out how she pretends to be such a moral person yet she bared her breasts in some modeling shots and she made a amateur porn video of herself for her boyfriend at the time to " enjoy". Not exactly something a devout, moral Christian girl would do, may I add. Prejean is posing herself as such. She's lying, just as she;s lying about why Trump suspended her and her claim of her free speech being censored is laughable because she's on a frigging book tour where she's popping up where she can trying to sell her fantasy book. Pardon me, her " story".
Walrus in the Hollywood gossip web site said it well:

most people in the spotlight don't understand...You have the freedom of speech, then everyone gets THEIR freedom of speech BACK AT YA.
Carrie Prejean seems to think that freedom of speech means she gets to speak her piece WITHOUT her detractors getting to speak their piece.
The Dixie Chicks learned that the hard way.
Speak your Freedom of speech, but expect others to Speech Back Atcha.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If Prejean wants to play victim /martyr, she really should have not done the porn video in the first place. I think some months back I mentioned in this blog how I suspected Miss Goodie Goodie was not virgin clean. Guess I was right.
She tried selling herself as this defender of marriage only for straight people, then when Trump rightly took her crown because she was not meeting her contractural obligations, she tries selling herself as a defender of free speech-- for conservative right wingers. Then when the bare boobie photos came out her excuse was the photographer shot the without her knowledge-- even when the photos show her looking directly at the camera (ooopppss!!!). Now, with the fact that she also made an amateur porn tape supposedly for her boyfriend to enjoy, gee Miss Christian Goodie Goodie is showing her hypocrisy even more.

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2009/11/carrie-prejean-sex-tape.html
(I loved why she dropped her lawsuit against the beauty pageant when the porn tape surfaced.)
The idea that TMZ, usually a pretty low-life level scandal " entertainment" show and web site, did NOT reveal the contents of the porn tape because it was " so racy" really has me wondering what Miss Halo Saint was actually DOING on that tape. If even THEY won't go that low to post it on their web site, it must be really explicit and deviant.

( Her excuse after the tape became public)
She claims people areoutto get her to silence her to embarrass her.
Get off your high horse Prejean. YOU made the sex tape, you made the boob pics knowing you were being photographed, and you damn well decided to get breast implants. Drop the halo, dear. You aren't fooling anyone with your act.
I mentioned before in this blog my amusement at a supposedly goodie goodie Christian female as Prejean claims to be getting breast implants and posing for deliberately sexually enticing photos.
She LIED to the pageant officials about the photos and how could she forget her sex tape for her ex-boyfriend she did? Gee, did doing a porno tape just slip her little mind?
I have to admit that hearing TMZ not posting the video because it was " too racy " for them has me really wondering what she did in the video. I mean, come on! What was in it that even sleazy TMZ won't show it?
Was she masturbating with a crucifix dildo?
Was she dressed as a nun and telling her BF he;s her Lord?
You gotta figure she's sucked dick and swallowed.
So much for her being a Christian woman act.

I found this web site tonight after doing my usual Googling blogs mentioning Bobbie Larson's name:
http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/blog/2009/10/jesus-with-his-lights-turned-off-on-halloween/
Both the actual blog an a number of the comments are worthy of note. I would suggest reading it if one was interested in how certain Christians mess up the holiday and why in doing so they demean their own faith and really deserve the distaste others have for these idiots.
How Halloween has changed since I was a kid! Before the Fundies screwing it up we had halfway decent haunted houses where you could see whatever the people who made the set up managed to create, you could actually go trick-or-treating in whatever costume you wanted and you never got some dumbass Halloween is evil Xian tract in your bag or plastic pumpkin. It was fun! And now, the poor kids ( if their parents are Fundies) at BEST they go to these " alternatives" where they have to dress up in anything " good" from the Bible. No ghosts, no fairy princesses, not even Biblical characters like Satan. I really feel pity for those kids. Their parents spoil what should be something good because they are too damn anal retentive and full of their pastor's preachings they see demons in the morning cereal.
Some of the comments are from the usual idiots who are obviously regurgitating whatever they've been told. Ironically these posts by their ignorance affirms the blogger's overall claims about how the fundy mentality is just plain pathetic.
UPDATE:
The actual " moderator" of the blog in question and I have exchanged a few emails. mainly because my post TO his blog " mysteriously" was not approved and therefore not added to his web site. His first excuse was that it was caught in his span filter and deleted before he could read it and approve it or not. His second excuse to date is that he has two other moderators aside from him editing out posts but claims he didn't remember seeing my post.
Maybe he's telling the truth.
Yeah, right, and I'm Amelia Earhart.
I've been a Pagan for three decades now and I have come across Xians who don't like us non-Christians saying anything in " their territory". And they would not hesitate to "lose" posts they don't like.
I'm all for moderators in various blogs and posting threads, because let's face it, some people are shit-stirrers. I've even had to ban two people from my LiveJournal blog because they were not on the up-and-up IMO. While I would love to include non LJ users to post to my blog, the simple fact is that its too easy for abusers to try to take over.
And yes, I see how my comment could also apply to what happened to my mysteriously vanished post. I don't deny I offend certain people. However I know enough of the born again Xian mentality to suspect Mr. Michael Patton of being, shall we say, less than honest about this.
Shame om me to think he could be lying!!!
Not that it matters, really. Its just one more in a long list of why I have very little respect for the Xians and why I am glad I am not one of them.

I recently heard of this Xian BSer and his attack on an art display so what I'm posting now is sketchy but I will add on to this in later entries.
Seems Rev. Tummilo had a " spiritual warfare" thing about the Caelum Moor art sculptures near a Texas sports stadium, and ,like most of his ilk, he saw the modern " stonehenge" and the name he certainly couldn't pronounce as something of his devil.
And OC this loser is selling his account as an ebook on the vanity publisher web site Lulu.

It was January of 1986. I remember hearing that singer Ricky Nelson had been killed in a plane crash when a fire broke out in his small plane. They were headed to Dallas to do a New Year’s Eve performance as I recall. In China, thousands of students had just spent twenty days protesting for democracy and the demonstrations spread from Shanghai to Beijing, culminating three years later with that unforgettable massacre in Tiananmen Square in June of 89.
Deep in the heart of Texas, we were fighting a different kind of battle. When I say we I’m referring to the Christians in the city of Arlington. It was a spiritual battle, one which, I now realize, we had no business being involved in.
Not that way.
Not the way we did it. Fact is, despite our kicking of the largest hornet’s nest any of us could have ever imagined, the vast majority of Arlington Christians were unaware that there was a battle raging among them at all.
Making matters worse, in my opinion, those who dared to get involved were clueless as to how it was supposed to have been waged and fought. Like the charge of the Light Brigade, our well-intentioned heroics proved meaningless and devastating to the local Church.
My hope, and my reason for writing this treatise is that, despite the many teachings by spiritual leaders on the subject of Spiritual Warfare in books, from pulpits, and on Christian television across the USA, that someone, somewhere, will read it and spare themselves and their community the agony of what one well-meaning but misguided Church Body in Texas went through...and the spiritual, unrelenting backlash that ensued.
Norm Hines was a graduate and tenured professor of art at Pamona College in Claremont, California in 1984 when he was commissioned by Jane Mathes Kelton, CEO and COB of the Kelton Mathes Development Corporation (and an heir to the Scottish-American television magnet, Curtis Mathes), to take on the Caelum Moor project. It was a monumental work of art that would become the signature and focal point of The Highlands Business Park, a 340-acre multi-use business community in Arlington, Texas.
Norm made $1.5 million for the project, a task that would take him over two years to complete. The sculpture would consist of 540 tons of freestanding pink Texas granite - 22 pieces in all, ranging from 15 to 34 feet high - and was named Caelum after a remote constellation in the Southern skies which comes from a Latin word meaning “sculptor’s tool," and Moor after the windswept, mystical moors of Scotland. The Stonehenge-like work of art, situated on 5.5 acres of a gently rolling park, included a small, winding lake, a fountain, seasonal landscaping, and a 350-seat natural amphitheater. The stones were set into 5 separate groupings, each being given its own Celtic name including Tan Tara, De’Danaan, Morna Linn, Tolmen Barrow and Sarsen Caer. Caelum Moor was one of the largest environmental sculptures in the Western Hemisphere.
From 1986 until 1997, this collection of twenty-two pinkish stones stood at the headwaters of Johnson Creek in Arlington. I vividly recall driving back to my home in DeSoto, through Arlington from Fort Worth in ‘86 when I was passed on my left by a rambling convoy of some sixteen 18-wheeler flatbed trucks carrying the enormous pink stones for what was to become known as Caelum Moor. Instantly, I knew they would be trouble in whatever place they wound up. I never once considered that the stones were headed for Arlington. I figured they were just passing through.
Boy, was I wrong.
In time, Caelum Moor - and the war that we waged over that piece of ground - would be broadcast on CNN, FOX, Dallas-Fort Worth television, and in newspapers and on web sites all over the planet.
How it all began... In those days, I was attending a "Bapti-Costal" church called Arlington Christian Center (ACC) which boasted of having 3,000 members. ACC was located on Bardin Road and was situated on the (please write Pastor Michael at team1min@aol.com to obtain this book in its entirety)

The smell of male bovine excrement is all over this guy. Dimes to donuts he found exploiting the art display while taking advantage of the " spiritual warfare" garbage some Xians believe in to be a potentially profitable endeavour which would also give him his 15 seconds of fame.
Okay, if his "battle" is so on the up and up, why not tell it point blank? Um, because he can;t SELL his crappy exploitive ebook, naturally!
The artist of the piece rightly thinks this guy is off his rocker and the artwork is hardly satanic or evil at all.
Like I said, this is something I'll look deeper into and make an update on it.

As usual, some Christian idiots thought of burning books and CDS this Halloween. Apparently their plans of bonfires of burning paper and plastic were canceled due to rain. Here's THEIR version of the rain out:
http://amazinggracebaptistchurchkjv.com/Download99.html
**********************
Book Burning Great Success!
We wanted to say that the Book Burning was a great success. It was a success because God's Word was glorified and uplifted. God magnifies His Word above His name, and so do we. The video of the entire service will be up in a few days. We wanted to thank all the Bible doubters who prayed for rain with us. All the protestors and media got wet; we were inside where it was nice and dry. Someone said that we were “hiding” out, but that is not so. The Chief Deputy asked us to keep everything inside, and we agreed, so we were obeying those in authority. We also have others that rent spaces in that same building that we have to respect. This event was successful not because of the rain, it was just an added blessing. A blessing in the sense that less people came out to protest, and there were no problems. We are not glad people got wet, we are glad that His Word was honored. Some have written praising God that he intervened and stopped the Book Burning because of the rain, protestors, and state laws about burning paper. Nothing was stopped. Our goal was to destroy garbage as noted below, and we did just that. We didn't care how it was destroyed; only that it was destroyed. These same people must have never heard about "Paper, Rock, & Scissors." Scissors cut paper, and paper tears real easy. We destroyed everything as planned. Praise God! God answered every prayer that everyone prayed, but they don't like the answer.
If there were any disappointments, it was that there were no other Independent Fundamental Baptist churches or individuals standing with us locally on the KJV. They hook up with the Southern Baptist and the Freewill Baptist to fight the liquor crowd, and the abortionist, but will not stand with KJV, the Word of God. Next year we will have others standing with us, as you will see. We have heard from hundreds of churches and individuals from around the world that will be happy to do the same thing next year.
Some of our members were out of town on vacation that is planned every year about this time. This we can understand with no problem, but they still support us in what we did.
Halloween Book Burning
Has NOT Been Cancelled!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The font and graphics are childish, just the right level for their mentality. Later down on that web page there is a bunch of crappy rationalizations for book burning with the usual claims of them being of " god" and OC Satan is everywhere.
One wonders if the fried chicken were heretics burned at the stake.

I heard this through Friday night's " Countdown" show, but I have no problem believing some jackoff at Robertson's empire actually said this.
This jackoff, A Kimberly Daniels, wrote her article and it passed by someone at the CBN web site until someone noticed and in a typical CYA move deleted the article from the web site.
Fortunately for folks like me the whole stinky thing was copied elsewhere in another Christian web site:

The Danger of Celebrating Halloween
Tuesday, 27 October 2009 05:00 AM EDT Kimberly Daniels Newsletters - Prophetic Insight
Kimberly Daniels
Editor's Note: We realize that the article by Kimberly Daniels is controversial. It reflects her own personal views—based on her many years of ministering to people involved in the occult. We have chosen to post another column by Ken Eastburn which offers a different view of Halloween. We welcome our readers to post comments on that article as well. Click here to read Eastburn's article.
Halloween—October 31—is considered a holiday in the United States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing?
The word "holiday" means "holy day." But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word of Halloween is "hallow," which means "holy, consecrated and set apart for service." If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy—Lucifer's!
Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of : the Luciferian Spirit (the false father); the Antichrist Spirit (the false holy spirit); and the Spirit of Belial (the false son).
The key word in discussing Halloween is "dedicated." It is dedicated to darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.
You may ask, "Doesn't God have more power than the devil?" Yes, but He has given that power to us. If we do not walk in it, we will become the devil's prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits.
During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.
Even the colors of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated. These colors are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called "Mabon." During this season witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest. They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).
Mother earth is highly celebrated during the fall demonic harvest. Witches praise mother earth by bringing her fruits, nuts and herbs. Demons are loosed during these acts of worship. When nice church folk lay out their pumpkins on the church lawn, fill their baskets with nuts and herbs, and fire up their bonfires, the demons get busy. They have no respect for the church grounds. They respect only the sacrifice and do not care if it comes from believers or non-believers.
Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.
The gods of harvest that the witches worship during their fall festivals are the Corn King and the Harvest Lord. The devil is too stupid to understand that Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest 365 days a year. But we cannot be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. When we pray, we bind the powers of the strong men that people involved in the occult worship.
Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.
While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as "just harmless fun," the vortexes of hell are releasing new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm).
Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door-to-door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.
The word "occult" means "secret." The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:
* Sex with demons
* Orgies between animals and humans
* Animal and human sacrifices
* Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
* Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
* Revel nights
* Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
* Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.
Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is necromancy, or communication with the dead. Séances and contacting spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of darkness lurking in the air.
However, Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and the exceeding greatness of God's power in us (the same power that raised Christ from the dead). It goes on to say that that Jesus is seated in heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus, the same demonic activity that is under His feet is under our feet, too!
People who worship the devil continue to attempt to lift him up. But he has already been cast out and down! Many are blinded to this fact, but the day will come when all will know he has been defeated once and for all.
When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm—and the Word says that God will spit us out of His mouth. The problem with lukewarm is that it attempts to mix the things of the devil with the things of God. It is God's desire that we serve Him alone.
Second Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, "And what agreement has Christ with Belial?" As believers, we need to answer that question in our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshiper.
There is no doubt in my heart that God is not calling us to replace fall festivals and Halloween activities; rather, He wants us to utterly destroy the deeds of this season. If you or your family members have opened the door to any curses that are released during the demonic fall festivals, renounce them and repent. I already have. Then declare with me: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"

The article was " controversial"? Um , more like MS. Daniels showed how frigging STUPID she is. There is a good reason why her piece was deleted from the CBN web site, While those religious fanatics DO in fact believe crap like this, they are "selling" to the unconverted and some of their donors are not as anal-retentive and see nothing wrong with Halloween. One good reason for the editing is to avoid exactly what people like me are doing, ridiculing and mocking this crap.
Its garbage like this that makes me believe if they could they would murder people like me again.
Supposedly on the Pat Robertson web site some idiot repeated the old Jack Chick claim that " witches" put curses on Halloween candy so any candy sold during Halloween is supposedly contaminated by these " curses". yada yada.
Aside from the fact that Jack Chick got it from John Todd, who was a noted liar and sex pervert who claimed to have been a former "witch" ( This was the same era of Mike Warnke and his lies about being a Satanist), I wonder who actually is dumb enough to fall for this line of crap? All Halloween candy is not made at the same place and if you can show me a group of ANY people who could curse ALL Halloween candy, I sure would like to meet them and see where they got all that power.
Gimme a break. If any one group had all that mojo, why are they doing something so stupid as " cursing" Halloween candy? What a waste of energy!!

Remember some months ago when Jackson died where here I made some tongue-in-cheek suggestion of people at Halloween dressing up as Michael Jackson with the Cryptkeeper type mask?
Well, last weekend I was doing some shopping around town and found this Halloween store I've never seen before. Inside were a number of costumes and imagine my surprise when I saw two " King of Pop" costume kits. One had the Michale with the filter mask and the other had Michael as the toy soldier outfit. It wouldn't have taken much to make it into the Michael Jackson zombie.
The shop had some jewelry and wigs and other accessories to go with the packaged costumes. Note I said packaged costumes. We're not talking a truly professional Halloween business here. Looks more like someone decided to set up a costume shop and did some lots they thought would be easy sells-- Star Wars, usual fairies and ( grunt) " witches" and OC the usual lasher horror characters. Nothing really as elaborate as a well-stocked Halloween shop with some years of business would have, sadly. They did have Obama masks but not any Bush ones I could see.
I saw I think it was the History Channel program ( Modern Marvels?) last night about various companies and artists who make stuff for Halloween. The Halloween house in Missouri was one set-up that I would love to visit someday, To actually have former special effects prop masters actually make and operate the stuff would be worth the trip and the admission fee.

THE CRISIS ISN’T OVER!
We still face a serious emergency!
We desperately need your prayers MORE THAN EVER!
October, 2009
Dear Friend,
Thirty days ago I warned that, without a financial miracle, our ministry may no longer exist. Because of the generosity of our partners we are STILL ALIVE. But the crisis hasn’t passed. Far from it, so please take this appeal seriously.
Here’s what has happened in the past 30 days while we faced possible closure. We didn’t crawl into a corner and complain, “Woe is me.” We fought the devil more than ever.
● I personally ministered one-on-one, in private sessions, for more than 100 hours.
● I traveled to six cities and held more than a dozen seminars.
● Our DWJD® deliverance teams prayed personally with 1,000 desperate souls.
ETHAN’S STORY
We have been BUSY for the Lord, taking every advantage possible to reach the lost and hurting with the message that Jesus saves and sets FREE. In one city, I ministered in a Baptist church on Sunday morning. When the choir director stepped on the platform to lead the men’s choir, I was shocked to see it was Ethan. Seven years ago he attended a seminar in this same city. Just before the seminar started, Ethan walked up to me, carrying a package in his arms. He demanded, “I must speak with you, NOW!” I told Ethan that I was in a hurry and would talk with him later. Instantly, he opened the package and pulled out a foot-long knife. He waved it menacingly in my face and shouted, “If you don’t help me, I am going to use this on someone.” That night I discovered that a demon of Murder had entered Ethan when he was child. His uncle beat him with a steel tire iron. Praise the Lord, we cast out Murder and today Ethan is a deacon. This is just one more reason why you MUST help us keep the doors to this ministry open.
HERE’S OUR SITUATION NOW
Thanks to many of our friends, we have temporarily avoided a financial disaster that could have ended our ministry. We are so close to victory. We’ve got breathing room for a short while, but we have to quickly turn things around. PLEASE HELP NOW!!
Gifts to our ministry are still running 80% behind a year ago. We still have more than $50,000 in short term obligations and another $212,000 due before the end of the year. We’re doing our part. Last week we cut our staff by 50% and instituted drastic cost-cutting measures. This may hinder our ability to effectively minister, but we had no other choice.
Please help with an EMERGENCY GIFT of at least $50 or more. I repeat: THE CRISES WE FACE ISN’T OVER. We need partners to share gifts of $100, $500, $1,000 or more.
YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your gift will help us keep the vision alive for . . .
● More than 100 Do What Jesus Did (DWJD)® deliverance teams
● Dozens of Spiritual Freedom Churches, including our Center in Phoenix, AZ
● Desperate, hurting people who reach out to us for hope.
Last week I faced a demon who screamed over and over, “Bob, I hate you. You make me so angry. I will destroy you. I’ll get even with you!” I have news for that demon. He can't hurt this ministry. It’s covered by the blood Jesus. But the apathy of God's people could do what no demonic threat can do. Don’t let that happen.
Our situation is STILL urgent. Thank God we have a few more days, but if we don’t continue to receive your help, Satan may still claim a victory. Thanks for sending the largest gift you can. May you “be made rich in every way" (2 Cor. 9:11) as you stand with us.
Pastor Bob Larson
P. S. Thanks for your tithe or offering of $1,000, $500, $100 - perhaps $5,000 or $10,000. Please understand that right now we can’t give anything in exchange for your gift, except the satisfaction that you are saving lives and rescuing those in bondage. But isn’t that what this ministry is really all about? Thank you for your generosity.

This is followed on his web page by the usual " testimonials" that look like the usual con of " Buy this product!" remarks in the infomercials.
His claim of having to fire half his staff is sadly typical of what businesses are going though in this recession. However, kindly note he doesn't mention selling one of his two mansions or trading down his expensive cars for more economical vehicles. I'd also be interested in seeing his his annual salary this year has been cut to trim the SFC budget.
Bet that didn't happen.
Also he dragged out the same old " verge on disaster" type claims hes done before while on " Talk Back". "Without a financial miracle", "crisis hasn't passed", "temporarily avoided a financial disaster" and so forth.
Bobbie claims about Ethan here, who he claims years ago " threatened" him with a " foot long" knife. This is an old claim Bobbie likes to pull out to melodramatise how he's supposedly in such physical danger all the time by the " forces of darkness".
The tithe thing at the end of this looks like what Kenneth Copeland pulls with his " seed faith" scam.
Question: If the finances are so dire why is Bobbie " establishing a Center in Florida" while he's supposedly making drastic cuts everywhere?
Guess rich Scottsdale is tapped out for Bobbie. The retirees in Florida might be an opportunity for more moolah for him.
And make no mistake about this. It's all about money, not about Jesus or ministering to hurting people WITHOUT picking their pocketbooks.
If Bobbie and his cult really are about " doing what Jesus did", I would like to see words about the various " Spiritual Freedom Church" food and clothing drives for the needy in their area. I want to see big write ups on his web site about how much food his followers have gathered up and passed onto poor people, the toy drives for the poor for Christmas, the setting up of food kitchens and homeless shelters to ease the pain and anguish of people. You know, what Jesus taught his followers should do.
Otherwise known as the " fruits of the spirit".

I C&Ped the list here because I think these people should be ashamed of backing Bob Larson and his despicable money-grubbing " deliverance ministry" act and I hope that any credible journalist who might do an investigative piece can use this list I saved to do some follow ups. I really think lists like this should be available off his web site where he can't delete further on down the road when his " affiliates" wake up and drop supporting his cult.
I'd also be interested in finding out how many of these pastors are DWJD members and what their actual arrangements with Larson actually are. Bear in mind that for years Larson has done his " seminars" in hotel conference rooms and rarely in actual churches. So it would be in his best interest to set up satellite churches of his Branch Larsonian cult to cover up the fact that in many actual established Christian churches he's not welcome because of his scandalous past and his obvious unsavory and questionable actions.
I am sad to say that from what I have seen of media coverage of his " real exorcist" tour last year, there doesn't seem to be many competent journalists around any more. The " father Larson" video I mentioned in my blog is one such example of badly done " journalism". The only really interesting thing of that video is that Larson is shown badly lit. Probably because Bobbie was without his " man" makeup he wears during his seminars and appearances.
As shown on the video of his verbal attack on a transgender Christian " guest" he had during " Talk Back" that his staff made and sold ( a copy I have), Bobbie's actual facial appearance without makeup is pretty common for a red-haired pale person to have. Lots of freckles on his face. His hair plugs then actually looked passable, unlike his current head follicle problem. Larson's vanity is such that for years he dyed his beard but forgot to match the dye with that of the rest of the hair on his head, which made him look like either the beard was fake or hr was wearing a wig. The photo on his web site has him with a white glow around him, an obviously cheesy attempt to pass him off as a near saintly person with a halo.

Recently the state newspaper where I live did a few articles on "word of faith" televangelist Kenneth Copeland, hosted by " Pastor Happy Caldwell". The gist is that Copeland's " preaching" is that wealth is god's blessing and sycophant Caldwell lead his church into a " prayer" which was hardly spiritual. More like monetary and dealt with obtaining physical riches rather than spiritual riches.
Didn't Jesus Christ whip people like that out of the temple?
And according to Copeland Jesus Christ appeared to him while he slept in bed and offered him cookies. Now explain to me why a god would be so subservient to wake someone up and offer them cookies like a butler or a maid? Didn't Jesus have better things to do, like, oh I dunno, tend to the sick and needy?
http://biblebeltblogger.com/index.php/religion/kenneth-copeland-and-cookies-from-heaven
And then there's the Agape Church " donor's creed":
“The tithe guarantees financial favor.
“The tithe guarantees your covenant partnership with God.
“The tithe is proof of honor.
“The tithe is proof of obedience.
“The tithe silences the devourer in your life.
“The tithe guarantees consistent harvest on your seed.
“The tithe opens the windows of heaven …”
I recommend reading the blog in full to get a good idea of how crass Copeland and Caldwell are.
Pardon me but even as a non-Christian I can see how this debases what Jesus Christ taught and even how this can be seen as wolves among the " Sheep".
This whole " word of faith" and " seed faith" crap preys upon the poor. Not to mention this idea of treating G-d and Jesus as beings one can " force" through " faith offering" to serve the human with wealth. Yeah, right.
Considering how filthy rich Copeland is and how Caldwell seems to be running up to be his heir, they managed to con a LOT of desperate, needy people.
I'm sorry but this whole thing really disgusts me. And I'm not even a Christian!
They might as well have on the altar a gold bar and a basket full of cash with a sign " give all to us".
Where's Jesus in this? Just a gimme target? How about tending to the needy as Jesus Chirst taught? The lack of focusing on Jesus is noticeable.
Copeland might as well say " Go away Jesus. My god is wealth."

Seems this month Bobbie E. Larson has a Halloween " special" offering for his online " friends".
And what is it, you may ask?
100 " trick or treat" pamphlets for $29 and for $49 you get that and his 4 hour DVD series " Witchcraft & Satanic Cults". Gee Bob, couldn't spring for the word " and"?
FYI the pamphlets are the old folded sheet ones ( orange, OC) that he handed out years ago, way back in around 1985. "Course THEN it was 100 for 20 bucks, if I remember correctly.
But then, who'd pay that much for crap like that when you can go to some of these Xian bookstores and load up on Jack Chick type pamphlets?
Looks like Bobbie is scraping the bottom of his junk barrel this month.
You'd think that by now with the Christian publishing industry joining the vampire fiction crowd that Bobbie would have some sort of special video commentary about it.
And yes I was surprised that this is a recent category in Christian publishing. I came across it by accident a few days ago. Seems the popularity of " Twilight" was an incentive for the Xians to start expanding their meager fiction selection.
http://www.christianretailing.com/index.php/newsletter/latest-etailing/19990-vampire-titles-a-new-vein-in-christian-stores
Now seriously this raises my curiosity. I've read some of Larson's fiction ( crap) and the Peretti Darkness series( crap, crap, crap) and even one of the "Left Behind" series" ( melodrama crap) so the concept of Christians actually publishing in their presses " vampire" fiction really looks interesting in a MST3K way.
I love the excuse they have of " creating a redemptive story of something meant for evil." OKay, have these people ever heard of Forever Knight, of Moonlight, Angel or even Dark Shadows, for crying out loud? The misery vampire seeking redemption or salvation or a cure is an OLD theme.
Sorry but a character who is in constant misery and angst about what he or she is gets real old after awhile. You just want to kick them in their butt and say " snap out of it!" Or get them to a therapist. Which, BTW would be an interesting concept.
The comments after the article I linked to are, for once , interesting.
Apparently the " Thirst" novel was an " allegory" about addiction. You know, I really get tired of the vampires as addicts theme. While one FK ep did it pretty well, the simple fact is that vampires are by nature predators. Its not an addiction, its substenance.
One of the problems I had with Weldon's Buffy and Angel series was that the basic default about vampires were that they were demons without having souls. Except for Angel, who supposedly was cursed with his soul back. Why was it, then, that these supposed demons had clear memories of their previous human lives? Spike, for example, showed his clear progress from the poetic sap to the punk era looking fighter. And you can't tell me that when he staked his mother after he changed her that he wasn't being a "demon" when his reasons were quite human. And how many times has Angel lost his soul only to get it back? You'd thing the first time after the Gypsy curse when he got his soul back that would have canceled the curse.
And the whole stake to ash thing really was hard to swallow. Convenient, yes, to get rid of the bodies, but if they were that fragile, you;d think someone would have the sense to wear Kevlar or something.

Speaking of nuts, I recently checked out one of my fave Xian anal retentive sites, christiananswers.net, about the Wolverine and the Witch Mountain movies. I found it hilarious that they found fault in the Wolverine one for the extensive fighting scenes and for Jackman's "nude" scenes. I laughed out loud when I read one reviewer saying he/she covered his/her eyes during the scene were Wolverine jumped in the waterfall naked. I laughed because if you actually look at the human figure, its what you DON'T see that makes it obvious we're not seen actual frontal nudity here.
FYI the Wolverine movie was based on the specific Marvel series that was graphically violent, a point that the reviewers on that web site obviously were not aware of.
The review to Race to Witch Mountain was just as bad. Bear in mind this is a remake of the Disney movie "Escape To" in the seventies, and a bad one at that. The Witch Mountain two original movies were based on a writer, Zenna Henderson, who had a series of " The People", which were aliens who were refugees on earth. There also was one movie, again a remake of the original one, made before this recent one, where it was broadcast on TV and dealt with various sets of twins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_from_Witch_Mountain
" Escape to Witch Mountain" 1975
"Return From Witch Mountain" 1978
"Beyond Witch Mountain" 1982
As for THIS movie, the Xian reviewers did the BS about how "family friendly" it is. Translation: It was vacuous, had shallow stereotyped characters and was so wishy washy it wouldn't offend a skunk. Which is ironic because this movie did stink. The lack of actual depth was covered by action scenes, including car chases and the usual explosions. Even the Rock's obvious attempts to salvage this turkey with his acting didn't raise this from the crap pit.
I first saw the two original movies when I was a kid, and that lead me later on to find Zenna Henderson and her fiction. I remember reading the school book version of the first move ( you know the Scholastic type books) and AFAIK Henderson was credited in passing in the movie as the creator of " The People" which the movies were based on. I do not remember the Beyond movie crediting Henderson.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/race_to_witch_mountain/
http://www.fandango.com/racetowitchmountain_114666/movieoverview
There is a claim that Alexander Key is that actual creator of the root for the Witch Mountain movies, supposedly due to his TV series " The Forgotten Door" aired in the UK in 1966. Problem with that is that the twin star box, the " castaway" part and the children with paranormal abilities and a colony of aliens hiding among humans are all Henderson inventions. Key may have written the book for the first movie as he was a Disney writer, but the ACTUAL creator is Henderson. Key in effect adapted a few elements Henderson made for his version.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenna_Henderson
http://www.adherents.com/lit/bk_Zenna.html
http://www.ldsfilm.com/movies/EscapeToWitchMountain.html
While the last one has clear LDS biases, it does mention the Key- Henderson issue pretty well. Technically the movies were not directly from Henderson's characters so in one sense it was a Key invention. And while it is true that recurring themes done by other writers does not necessarily make subsequent stories derivatives, when there are a handful of elements in common, then there's good reason to think the latter project is in fact based on the earlier work.
I think one of the problems is that Henderson passed away in 1963 and the movie was more than a decade later. To be fair, the movies are in homage to Henderson's The People just as Halloweentown movies are suspiciously remniscent of the TV series Bewitched. The roots are there in both cases. The Halloweentown movies are not direct, OC, but the basic characters relationships with one another mirrors Bewitched. The Witch Mountain movies are more obviously related to what Henderson created and while the characters themselves are not specifically what she created, the elements I mentioned are clearly borrowed from Henderson.
I feel that I should expand a bit in Henderson's favor because she was one of the first female SF writers who did influence a number of SF writers who came later and who may have been one of the first modern era writers who portrayed her children characters more as if they were complex people rather than dumbed down, well, automatons. When I first read her " The People: No Different Flesh", which was my first collection of hers I've read, I was fascinated by how reasonably she wrote these characters with their paranormal abilities. I contrasted it with the other " paranormal or " alien" stories and movies I saw during that time and found what she wrote to be much better than the plastic melodrama I was seeing. I can see how what she wrote influenced the genre. She wasn't as "big" as Heinlein or Sturgeon, but she did write some pretty good stuff.
Current mood:  relaxed
Here's an interesting article:
http://www.theage.com.au/world/bush-snubbed-harry-potter-author-20090930-gcpp.html
According to the author of this book, the reason why Shrub snubbed Rowling was because her Harry Potter books " promote witchcraft". Meanwhile he would use the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or to be more accurate, ABUSED it, to show his support for those who, quite frankly, didn't deserve the award.
The claim that the Potter novels " promote Wicca" is garbage. Wicca is a specific religion and AFAIK not one of the Potter novels talks about the Goddess, the Rede or anything specific to Wicca.
Not that the Xian nuts care about the facts.
