The Old Black Church

Yall why is "Drag Queens" under attack? This GOP attack on drag queens and trans folks is 100% ridiculous. How do they want to “protect” our kids from drag queens but not from being slaughtered in their classrooms by assault weapons? Please somebody make it make sense.

What yall think about this? People who identify as gay in Uganda risk life in prison after parliament passed a new bill to crack down on homosexual activities. It also includes the death penalty in certain cases. A rights activist told the BBC the debate around the bill had led to fear of more attacks on gay people. "There is a lot of blackmail. People are receiving calls that 'if you don't give me money, I will report that you are gay,'" they said. The bill is one of the toughest pieces of anti-gay legislation in Africa. Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda but this bill introduces many new criminal offenses. As well as making merely identifying as gay illegal for the first time, friends, family, and members of the community would have a duty to report individuals in same-sex relationships to the authorities. It was passed with widespread support in Uganda's parliament on Tuesday evening. Source Here

Did yall know that the term "woke" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and refers to being aware of social and political issues, particularly those related to racial justice and inequality? White Conservative commentator Bethany Mandel co-authored a whole dang book on the “current woke indoctrination” supposedly going on around the country. But when asked to define the term at the very center of it, she flopped.   In recent years, the term has become more widely used and has taken on a broader meaning to describe a heightened awareness of various forms of social injustice and inequality, including those related to gender, sexuality, and economic class. Being "woke" implies a willingness to challenge conventional ideas and attitudes, and to recognize the ways in which systemic injustices can perpetuate discrimination and inequality. It is often associated with activism, social justice movements, and a commitment to dismantling oppressive structu

What do yall think about this? A woman who attends James River Church in Missouri claims prayer helped her regrow her three amputated toes in the span of 30 minutes. I guess she forgot that there is a scientific fact that the body does not regrow limbs, once gone they are gone. The pastor has claimed that a "creative miracle" caused the woman's amputated toes to regrow. Still, an apparent refusal to provide any proof has inspired a very skeptical response from some. "Pastor John Lindell of James River Church claims that the prayer-fueled miracle took place last week during a service at the church's Joplin, Missouri, branch, according to an article published Wednesday by the Springfield News-Leader. "The healing supposedly took place during a service hosted by guest pastor Bill Johnson of Redding, California's Bethel Church—which made headlines in 2019 after unsuccessfully attempting to "resurrect" a deceased 2-year-old girl." 

During her sermon last week, Pastor Jameliah Gooden of Charlotte, North Carolina, took a moment to call out the woman she accused of attempting to come between her and her husband. In a now-viral video, Gooden can be seen addressing her flock from the pulpit, but they were not expecting their Sunday devotion to be tainted with details about her marriage( you can read about it here  )Now Gospel Music Stars Fred Hammond and Deitrick Haddon are defending her actions. Sorry, but you can't support this type of behavior. That only makes it worse and more acceptable. I'm glad she apologize and hopefully repented. You can't lead God's people this way. 

Seems to me old, Johnny Hunt is getting bad legal advice here. According to online reports, he’s been caught lying recently, by his own admission, and his credibility is shot. I just can’t see how any lawyer would advise him to file this lawsuit, in my opinion, his credibility is already shot given that he lied to investigators last summer. “No contact whatsoever” with the young woman.  Johnny Hunt, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, alleging defamation and invasion of privacy. The lawsuit — which also names the SBC’s Executive Committee and Guidepost Solutions, which was hired to conduct a lengthy investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and mishandling of complaints in the denomination — was filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. Hunt’s suit seeks a jury trial. A disgraced former Southern Baptist president is suing the denomination
