So the nutjob pastor holding this wingding in his church sanctuary couldn't even get 100 of his own flock to attend?

IIRC, Manning has outdone them all with the "Trial of the Century".

I don't know anything about the socioeconomic community from which the Fair Park Bible Fellowship draws its actual membership. However, if it draws much of its membership from the Fair Park neighborhood, those people have far more serious concerns than Broden and his fellow nutjobs do.
Quote:
May 3, 2011. Dallas, TX. More than 1,000 children in Fair Park of South Dallas sleep on floors, many without electricity, and with little food. A recent "Poverty in Dallas" tour of by the Greater Dallas Justice Revival (GDJR) church leaders throughout South Dallas revealed miles after miles of poverty. "Poverty worse than the infamous ninth ward of New Orleans" says Rev. Don Parish of True Lee Missionary Baptist Church, one of the tours host.

The Dallas Morning News affirmed that statement in a special report today, by reporter Kim Horner. 58 percent of residents in the Fair Park area lacked a high school education compared with 40 percent of Lower Ninth Ward residents. 62 percent of South Dallas adults had not jobs, compared to 59 percent in the Lower Ninth Ward. 33 percent of South Dallas families lived below the poverty line, about the same as in the Lower Ninth Ward.
...
Hunger, a major force which impacts the area children physically and emotionally, also brings its devastation on the local children educationally. Ninety nine percent of the local area children are considered low income and need food assistance. One group providing groceries for nearly 4000 families a month is the Rev. S.M. Wright Foundation.
...
At a Fair Park location on the "Dallas Poverty Tour" Pastor Wright, a humble quiet man, let the scene of small children sleeping on floors with rodents, no electricity, and sheets serving as doors and windows, speak for itself.

How dare Stephen Broden toy with conspiracy theories and Birthers when this is the neighborhood in which the church sits?

Like I said, Rudy couldn't organise a nookie in a knocking shop. He didn't have an idea about how many were coming and he picked a venue in the wrong part of town. Rudy does provide me with a lot of humourous moments but really the man is a babe in the woods. He has no idea how the real world operates. That was brought home to me when he and his wife and the "Texas Deacon" and his wife went on a cruise and met real people.

Yes, all true, but you gotta give him a iota of notice since he actually DID something he said he was going to do unlike the rest of the Grifters like Haskins et al.

Yea, but my mommy always told me to try to look for the good in people...even piles of :turd:

He's just the animated batshittery sideshow. It's the quiet ones in the Arizona Legislature whom I have no respect for what-so-ever.

Your wish is my command, occasionally.

Cover of the book:

Text highlighted by Rudy:

Looks like the heading is "Constitutional Powers of the President" and the subheading says "Who may be President" to lead off the paragraph. After that, somebody with better eyes than mine is needed.

In which Rudy goes on about a Mormon who he let sleep in his house over the weekend, and who sent him a nasty email.

But he also talks about others. Such as Pastor Manning, who he appreciates because Manning "calls a spade a spade, and does it from the pulpit."

Yeah Rudy, I'm sure that statement has a whole lot more TRUTH!!!! in it than you intended ...

"The KGB Holy Bible"? WTF?

I am also amused how he goes on about trusting their mutual friend, what a trustworthy guy Rudy is, how he trusted Bill, and then repeatedly quotes Psalms, saying trust no man, but trust the Word of God. Poor Rudy, born without an irony meter. :lol:

Orly could not figure out how to click through from the music video to the one-hour recording of her speech (or her FM's could not handle this difficult task). Rudy has broken it up into four segments, hosting it on his Web site. This quadruples Orly's exposure.

Pasture Manning scares the cats. It does sound as if he has lost members of his congregation, although he says the income has not dropped. He also says that people hiss when they walk by his church.

From a possibly different edition of the same book, but it looks like it's the same in this part - the highlighted sentence is: "To become president, the Constitution specifies that a person must be a natural-born citizen at least thirty-five years of age and a resident of the United States for fourteen years."

Quite an earth-shattering revelation, isn't it?

I also heard "KGB" but suspect that he intended "KJV." There is a group of fundamentalists and evangelicals who insist that the translation of the KJV was, more or less, inspired, and that no error crept into the translation. Some of them take it a bit further: it must be the 1611 edition. No other translations are acceptable.

A much smaller group insists that the correct translation is the Geneva Bible of 1599; this was the Puritans' Bible. Others go back to the Wycliff Bible of the late 14th century. It may be the most literal of all extant translations.

Many of these churches state which version of the Bible is in use in their congregations. Beaverton Grace Bible Church is unequivocal but not specific as to what "the original" language is:
Quote:
II. We Believe In A High View of Scripture.
Because the Bible is the Inspired, Infallible, and Inerrant Word of God in the original language passed down to us without change, it is the absolute and final authority on all matters.

One of the interesting aspects of that small audience is the number of Ron Paul supporters, to judge by their applause at one point. Rudy is severely disappointed with Ron Paul, but it sounds like he cannot bring himself to vote for a Mormon. I would be just as glad if all such people stayed home and silent.

I just listened to the video about Bill. He seems a very sincere man and Rudy has no idea how he has offended him. I have no religion but I would never go out of my way to tell anyone how wrong their beliefs are, if they get solace from their belief then that's OK with me. Rudy has the idea that it is OK to say that people are wrong and, in detail, tell them exactly they are wrong as long as he tells them he loves them. As I said before Rudy is a babe in the woods and he has no idea how to deal with other people.

It is not just "OK." It is his Christian duty. Bill is not saved, according to evangelical and fundamentalist teaching. The commandment was to "go into all the world and make believers" -- the right kind of believers -- "of all men," while, of course, loving them.

Well, if your ear and my ear heard "KGB", then I'm pretty sure that's what he said. And yes, I know what he was "trying" to say. I'll bet Rudy thinks the Bible was first written in English and that Jesus spoke English too. Which makes the Mormon cult belief he has even funnier.

My ears also heard him say 'KGB' and figured he was trying to say 'KJV. So, what are people like Rudy going to do in November? I can't see him voting for 'Mormon Romney' any more that I can see him voting for Obama. He doesn't have respect for Jeffers who said he will vote for Romney even though he considers him a member of a cult. Rudy seems to be an independent non-thinker.

Doesn't have to, Raicha. As we know, "natural born citizen" is Birfer code for "2-citizen parent." So they know what the words really mean ...

For Rudy and True Believers like him, the problem is much deeper than the Presidential election of 2012. It is that there are Mormons and other non-believers in the True Faith in the U.S. Rudy's duty is to convert them. When that fails, Dominionists hold that those who will not convert must nevertheless obey the law of the land, which is the Bible.
