Speak Ill of the Dead

Comforting Lies Take People to Hell

So today my Uncle Bert is in hell, in all likelihood. His daughter texted me to tell me he had died. But I received a comforting message saying he kept his independence until a week and a half ago, and he was still able to play golf.

When people die in sin, we sit around and talk about how wonderful they were, no matter how rotten or annoying they actually were. We lionized Elvis Presley, who rolled off the toilet dead, obese and full of drugs plus a hard stool six inches in diameter, at the age of 42. We say he joined heaven’s band, along with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, who are actually in hell with him, screaming and crying in darkness.

Elvis was a hypocrite. As a mediocre singer who filled women with lust, he made gospel albums that made flighty girls sweat and pant, but if you go to Youtube right now, you can find video of him bragging to his sycophants about the oral sex he received from ladies he didn’t know very well. He died next to a toilet in a bathroom attached to a bedroom where his girlfriend was in the bed where they fornicated. If he’s not in hell, his salvation is an unlikely major triumph for Yeshua.

We like to sit around tables after people die, telling funny stories about them, even if we are pretty sure they’re in hell. Preachers who have no guts take money to stand beside freshly-dug holes, telling people they just met how much the deceased were loved.

I don’t believe in personal revisionist history. It does no one any good to tell pleasant lies about the dead. I believe we should speak ill of the dead, just as the Bible does, when it’s appropriate. The cultural practice of shaming those who speak ill of the dead comes from our pagan past, from morons who worshiped trees and rocks. It’s not a Christian tradition. Pagans were afraid the spirits of the dead would take offense and come after them.

Incredibly, the Jews are still concerned about their dealings with the dead. Most people don’t know this, but Jews pray for their dead, and they believe in reincarnation. They pray to the dead, just like Catholics. These pagan contaminations of doctrine are kept quiet, but they exist.

I speak ill of the dead all of the time, just as the Bible does. Cautionary tales shouldn’t go to waste.

Today I started talking about the horrible things my family members had done, and my wife got a little tired of it, but I reminded her of this: if we forget these things, our children will relive them. Then she understood.

Bert married my dad’s older sister, Ardell. Far as I can tell, she was a psychopath. My dad had a little of that, too, and in my opinion, my sister is a complete psychopath. It’s a condition that involves arrogance, total selfishness, dishonesty, an inability to feel shame, and the destruction of other people for selfish ends as well as sadistic pleasure.

Ardell was very overweight, and when she met Bert, she had a daughter from a man she had divorced. Bert had 4 kids, I believe. I am not close to my dad’s side of the family, but I have counted them up, and I’m nearly certain there were 4. One died when I was in my twenties, and I didn’t send a card, make any calls, or go to a funeral.

Bert was a Mormon, but he was also an atheist, which is less crazy than being a Mormon. Ardell was also an atheist.

My dad’s mother was kind of an empty skin. I have no idea what she believed, but I doubt she ever had a spiritual thought in her life. She had no impact on my life. Didn’t send Christmas or birthday presents. Never called. Didn’t help my mother after my sister and I were born. Lived in an apartment conspicuously free of books. She took her kids to the Presbyterian church when they were young, but it didn’t stick. It may have been my grandfather who took them. He was a politician. He died during World War Two, from drinking poisonous moonshine. He was an alcoholic who beat my grandmother in public.

I didn’t really know my cousins. My dad had another sister, and she had two kids. One died at 18. I didn’t send a card, call, or go to the funeral. I don’t know the other one. I knew the parents a little. My Uncle Johnny called me out of the blue from a nursing home last year.

I have opinions. My opinion is that Bert wanted a maid and Ardell wanted any kind of husband. I don’t recall any evidence that they felt affection for each other.

Ardell used to beat Bert’s youngest child, whom I will call Mary, since she is still alive. I barely know her, but I know we hit it off on the few occasions when we saw each other. She was very kind and gentle. Lacking affection for her stepdaughter, Ardell tormented her. She used to give her own daughter candy and let her eat it in front of Mary. When Mary and the other daughter slept in the same bed, Ardell would rest her weight on Mary while leaning across the bed to kiss her own daughter good night.

Bert and Ardell made their kids take jobs. The kids looked after the house. They worked and bought their own clothes. They resented Bert and Ardell, for good reason. Kids should do chores, but they’re not mules.

Bert liked to travel and fish, and he bought an RV. He and Ardell traveled all over the US. One of his sons became an airline pilot, so Bert and Ardell got cheap flights, and they made the most of it. Travel, fishing, and golf seemed to be their reasons for living, and my impression is that Ardell was much less excited about these things than Bert, but as an obese, hard-voiced, mannish woman with kids and a not-winning personality, she didn’t rock the boat.

When I was young, I liked Bert well enough, mostly because he was nicer than Ardell, which is saying little. As I grew older, he wore on me. I can tell stories.

My dad took them to the Bahamas on his boat. I took two adult friends with me. On big boats, everyone helps clean up and keep things orderly. Even guests. When we would dock the boat, Bert would put a chair on the dock, crack open a Coors Light, which he called “Silver Bullets,” and watch the rest of us work. Once he told me we had missed a spot, and I yelled, “WE’RE SHORTHANDED.”

Bert and Ardell came to visit one Christmas, along with Johnny, his wife, and the daughter I didn’t know. We were going to fish on the boat and use my dad’s shared condo at Ocean Reef, a resort for the wealthy. Bert would get to fish AND play golf for nothing. Score!

Bert didn’t tell us he had norovirus. Not until people started getting sick.

I moved onto the boat, abandoning my stranger-relatives, whom I didn’t really want to get to know better. Everyone started throwing up and running for the toilet every half an hour. I eventually got sick, too, because Bert didn’t tell us he was sick until I had been exposed.

Norovirus is only spread through feces, so Bert had been putting his hands in communal dishes without washing them properly, while sick with norovirus.

I could tell my cousin was offended when I went to the boat. My mother thought I was rude. I didn’t care. I didn’t know these people. What did I care about their feelings? They were going to disappear after Christmas. That actually happened. I didn’t see my cousin again for about 25 years. If she thought I was a jerk, it didn’t impact my life. I’ll never see her again.

My mother was the only one who didn’t get sick. I have no idea how she avoided it.

That’s one Bert story.

On another occasion, my dad took Bert and Ardell to the Bahamas on the boat. On the return trip, the water was very rough. Ten-foot seas. My mother and I tried to get my dad to wait, but he was a poor seaman, and he mistakenly thought his boat was big enough for any kind of sea.

Before we passed Spanish Wells, a whites-only island in the Bahamas, things started flying around inside the boat. Ardell, knowing very little about seamanship, started climbing the ladder to the flybridge so she could see what was happening.

The boat jerked, and she lost her grip on the ladder, falling into the flybridge awning. Her left hand caught on something, and he wedding ring was yanked severely by the momentum of her 250 pounds. The skin ripped open, leaving a wound that needed stitching.

We persuaded my dad to take us to Spanish Wells, where there was presumably a nurse with a needle and sutures. Ardell sat in the boat’s saloon, holding a bloody paper towel on her hand. She and Bert were under 10 feet from the fridge.

Bert said, “Honey, get me one of those Silver Bullets.” And Ardell staggered to the fridge and got him one.

Ardell became demented and died in 2014, and my dad insisted I go with him to Tennessee for the funeral. He was still practicing law, but I think he knew he was having mental issues. Also, although he had destroyed our family and had poor relations with his own, he occasionally pushed my mother, sister, and me to put on an act simulating a wonderful warm family, the product of a thoughtful and generous patriarch.

While we were in Tennessee, a bunch of us sat down in Bert’s den, and we all talked. Mary had a brother who had strayed from Mormonism, and she had convinced him to come back into the fold. She knelt by his chair and talked softly to him about Joseph Smith’s Satanic con. She really believes that stuff.

I heard her mention Lamanites. This is not a type of flooring or siding. A Lamanite is an American Indian. They come from Asia. Mormons think they are Jews, somehow transported here from Israel. How obvious is it that this is a fantasy? Do I have to even mention the fact that DNA tests prove it isn’t true? It’s like trying to debunk the tooth fairy. I would feel foolish.

Mary is warm and caring. Probably the finest first cousin I have, although I could be wrong, because I have at least 4 I don’t really know. It is tragic, but she has become some kind of Mormon teacher. She told me many women rely on her for spiritual guidance. These poor people are striving daily to push further into Satan’s trap.

Mary was abused by a gutless, selfish little boy of a father, and she was abused by a psychopatic stepmother, and now Satan is taking her to hell and using her to lead others there. An eternity of abuse is coming.

I could sit here all day and write about the reasons why Mormonism doesn’t work. I could talk about how Smith was a known con artist before he became a guru. I could point out that his story about looking at golden plates in a hat can’t be true, because the plates would have weighed so much no hat could have held them. I could say the Book of Abraham is an Egyptian text about preparing dead bodies for entombment, which it is. Mormons wouldn’t listen, because they are supernaturally blinded. They think they’re right because they’re successful and don’t drink in front of other people.

I won’t be at Bert’s funeral. If I get notice of an address, I’ll send some flowers. Not expensive ones.

The stories the family told at Ardell’s funeral, at which no minister was present, were appalling. They told about how Bert and Ardell had had a fistfight, rolling on the ground outside the RV, over some trivial thing. They thought that was hilarious.

It’s normal to tell funny stories at funerals, but if Ardell had been there, she would have told stories that were more helpful. She would have told us about hell and her regrets. She would have sobbed and begged God to save her. She would have begged her kids for forgiveness. She would have warned the rest of us. Then she would have gone back to hell, because there is no help for the dead, regardless of the fables Catholics and Jews have taken from pagans and turned into doctrine.

I remember having long talks with Bert and Ardell about the reality of Yeshua. I got nowhere. These two hard-headed, conceited, mediocre people thought they already had the answers. I am so sick of beating my head against the rocks which are the heads of other human beings. I would love to be put together with a few people who will actually listen.

I’ll never see Bert or Ardell again, or their dead son, or my dad’s mother. All my involvement with them was a waste of time. Bert and Ardell sent my dad a framed picture of themselves. I’m going to throw it out and keep the frame. To my heart, it’s like those pictures of strangers that come with wallets. Other people who are not part of my future.

Speak ill of the dead. Offend. Seriously. It’s better than going to a long series of funerals at which people bury their heads as deeply in the earth as the remains of the recently damned.

The older I get, the more people I offend, the less I care, and the more good I do. I may have given Mary the URL for my blog. I don’t remember. If she reads this, so be it. Maybe it will help her.

My wife and I prayed for her this morning, and we will keep it up for a while. It would bring me tremendous joy to find out she had finally found freedom. I would really like her to be with us forever in the place where her parents can never go.

Thank Goodness Those Dementia Rumors Have Been Put to Rest

Am I the only one who is glad Joe Biden proved there is nothing wrong with his memory? What a relief.

What a week it has been. Biden claimed he met recently with Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterand, two people who died before he became president. Then special counsel Hur, who was appointed to investigate his crimes, said Biden could not remember when he was vice president or when his beloved son died. He couldn’t even give a ballpark guess about the death of his son, who passed in 2015. Hur said Biden had committed felonies, but he chose not to prosecute because he was afraid it would be hard to convict a man who could use his advanced age and “poor memory” to charm a jury.

He said Biden committed crimes, and he started committing them when he was a senator, when he still had some idea who he was and what day it was. Biden carefully brags that the prosecutor chose not to charge him. He says that because he can’t say the prosecutor didn’t say he was guilty.

It’s a fascinating situation. Biden and Trump are accused of the same crimes, along with some obstructive efforts on Trump’s behalf, and Biden’s prosecutor says Biden is guilty. Biden and Trump are about the same age, but only Biden is accused of committing crimes when he was young and relatively sound of mind. The only reason Trump got worse treatment is that unlike Biden, he is NOT demented. Dementia, which Biden denies, is Biden’s successful defense.

Even better for Biden, this is an extraordinary defense, because the suspect doesn’t have to prove it. The prosecutor made the defense for him.

It’s not completely true that Trump was treated worse because his mind is sound. Trump also got worse treatment because the system is always unfair to him. If he were demented, he would still be facing charges. They would charge him if he were in a rest home, wearing diapers and wondering who his family members were.

People think “demented” is a word that only applies to individuals who are completely gone. Not true at all. It just means you have at least begun to have serious cognitive problems. The facts that Biden can still dress himself and cut his own meat (assuming these things are true) don’t mean he isn’t demented. Biden is no longer capable of leading the life of an employed individual in a position requiring responsibility and the mastery of a lot of facts. He is demented.

Bruce Willis continued making movies after he lost much of his mind. He was not completely helpless, but he was definitely demented.

When humble people become demented, they are more likely to perceive the problem and admit they have it. They make good patients. Arrogant people like Biden are different, probably because arrogance is a delusion one has to nurture. By the time an arrogant person starts to lose it, he or she has already spent decades lying to him- or herself. Such people depend on their inflated self-appraisals to protect them from scary feelings of inferiority, which, in the case of 11th-percentile law school graduate Biden, are justified.

Arrogant dementia sufferers lash out at people who tell them the truth, because they see control and admiration slipping away from them. Biden is lashing out now. He lashed out at the prosecutor and the press. He asked how the prosecutor could “dare” ask him about his son, as though it were somehow outrageous to ask a parent a simple question about an adult son who died over 8 years ago.

Arrogant people are irrational and dishonest. You can’t be arrogant and truthful. Biden is used to lying and bullying people who tell him the truth about himself. These are habits, and habits are the last things to go when dementia sets in.

I love my late father, but he was arrogant, too. He could not make himself admit he had dementia. When he quit practicing law, he made it sound like he had made a decision to relax and enjoy life, but the truth is that he was no longer capable of the job. A big client dropped him, and I think his dementia was the reason.

I’ve seen Biden’s problem up close, so I know a little bit.

My dad lost the ability to find his way around in a car. He lost his ability to keep up with his affairs. He didn’t lose the bad habits of pride and denial until close to the end. Biden will go out the same way, but because he is far more arrogant and much less intelligent than my dad was, he will probably never admit he has a problem.

While he was angrily slandering people who told the truth about him, trying to refute Hur’s claims, Biden claimed Egypt’s president actually ran Mexico. He said he had been busy trying to get the president of Mexico to let aid into Gaza.

I get it. Egypt is to the south of Gaza, and these countries share a border. Mexico is south of the US, and we share a border. Egypt and Mexico are backward, corrupt countries whose leaders have to be humored and cajoled in order to get them to do the right things. But they’re in different hemispheres. For a demented person, they would be easy to conflate. Gaza isn’t America, and no one with a functioning mind could confuse them.

It’s really disgusting to see Jill Biden take up for him. She claims she knows better than we do, because she is with him all the time, witnessing his amazing state of dynamic non-dementia.

What a liar. This is the same person we see on video, giving him answers to questions and helping him find his way off stages. No one has ever had to lead Donald Trump or even Mitch McConnell, who is also demented, off a stage.

I think Jackie Kennedy ruined first ladies. She was a somewhat loose woman descended from a true, non-Irish, upper-crust family. She wore Chanel. She was thin. She looked pretty as long as the camera was not very close or focused too tightly. She was a socialite. America fawned on her. I think she gave the position of first lady a type of glamour it had never possessed before. No one got excited about what Mamie Eisenhower, Bess Truman, or Eleanor Roosevelt wore.

I suspect that Jill Biden is in love with her position of unearned envy and admiration, and that she would say nearly anything to keep Joe in office, regardless of whether he were competent or even conscious.

She says she knows him better than we do. That’s true. That means she has been aware of his dementia longer. She knows what his doctors and handlers do to hide it. She knows about the hair transplants, fake teeth, and facelift. She should have been the first to oppose his 2020 run, but in order to do that, she would have had to care about America more than herself.

Now even leftist reporters are badgering Biden about his obvious senility. I guess a truth explosion is taking place. The new Biden revelations came out on a day other than Friday, so the lazy, lying press has to confront them.

What’s happening to Biden reminds me of the Dudley Moore movie, Bedazzled. Satan approaches a man and grants his wishes in exchange for his soul, but the man is not smart enough to make wishes Satan can’t twist, so Satan keeps his end of the deal while seeing to it the wishes become sources of misery, not pleasure. Biden’s pitiable drive to glorify himself as president and enrich his children has been fulfilled, but he got elected after he was senile, he and his living children are objects of global contempt and ridicule, his best adult child died young, and the two remaining children are drug and sex addicts, one of whom is likely to go to prison before the election, which Biden will lose because people generally think he’s a fool. That’s assuming he ends up on the ballot, which may not happen.

It’s remarkable that the report was released so early in the week. That is inconsistent with the Deep State’s long history of protecting leftist presidents. Standard practice is to drop bombs into the soft, deep, absorbent sand of Fridays, because journalists are extremely indolent and low in competence, and most don’t work weekends. Perhaps Hur is more concerned with his own reputation than Biden’s. After all, he will still have a career to worry about next year.

Is it possible he’s just being fair? I don’t know. He’s a Republican. If he’s being fair, why would he refuse to prosecute Biden, given that he concluded Biden is guilty? Maybe he’s right to think he will be hard to convict. So what? Shouldn’t he try? Where is the down side?

If the crime is so serious it warrants an expensive prosecution of one elderly man, why is the special counsel willing to fold without trying in a similar case with another elderly suspect?

Democrats are telling us Biden’s crimes are little, unimportant, excusable felonies, like Hillary Clinton’s, but Trump’s are big, important felonies that have to be addressed. Maybe Trump went further than Biden, but it’s the same basic crime, and Trump has mitigating factors Biden lacks.

So are we going to get President Kamala now? Terrifying. Kamala Harris is unintelligent and has no principles whatsoever. Biden is a little dim, but compared to Harris, he might as well be Socrates.

On the up side, Harris is terrified of taking responsibility, so if Biden is driven out, maybe she will be reluctant to do the extremely stupid things her ethos calls for. Her drive to avoid public mistakes is way more powerful than her drive to implement her agenda, if she has one or knows what one is. Presidentess Tee Ball will not swing for the bleachers.

What happens when a president is removed from office during an election year? That would be interesting. No time for other candidates to get in gear. Would they manage to prepare serious opposition to Harris, or would the machine wrap its wings around her and give her special snowflake protected status, as it has Biden? Would it continue keeping other candidates out of primaries?

This may turn out to be the weirdest election year in history. The system is not designed to react swiftly to situations like this.

One of the symptoms of the apocalypse is mass delusion, or what some would call mass psychosis. Huge swaths of the population now believe things that are patently insane. People elected a known dotard and a woman who is too dumb to be a public official. Now we will find out how deep the damage runs.

If it’s like this now, what will it be like in 6 months? I never get tired of asking that.

The Meat of the Matter

Seems Like no One Knows the Truth About Anything

I was praying with my wife yesterday morning, and I got off on the topic of the concealment of the truth. When I pray, I don’t just ask for stuff. I make statements. I was asking God to tell us what to do about something, which means I was asking to know the truth, and I started talking about the way the world now swims in lies.

One of the biggest areas of deception and concealment is that of coronavirus. We don’t know much of the truth at all.

1. Do the vaccines work? At first, people like Joe Biden and Rachel Maddow told us they were 100% effective. Then we heard figures like 90%. Then we heard that every person on Earth could expect to get infected, vaccinated or not. When the vaccines started looking bad, they told us that while they might not prevent infection, they would absolutely, definitely prevent every recipient from getting very sick and dying, and then they told us countless vaccinated people had died or at least become terribly ill.

2. Do the masks work? No; not at all. That’s what they said at first. Then they said they worked very well. Now they say this: no; not at all. Nearly.

3. Do vaccines hurt people? No; not at all. Almost never, they said. Then young people started dropping dead in such numbers it significantly affected official excess death figures. They said this had nothing to do with coronavirus vaccines. It had to be related to all those other giant health crises that occurred right after the end of 2019. A lot of journalists and officials still deny that vaccines do harm, but simultaneously, the CDC says this:

[E]vidence from multiple vaccine safety monitoring systems in the United States and around the globe supports a causal association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (i.e., Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) and myocarditis and pericarditis.

Oooooooookay.

The other day, I read that a vaccinated baby’s risk of heart problems from covid vaccination is about 2.2%. The risk of symptomatic coronavirus infection is almost too low to measure. It is essentially zero. But people gave their babies shots anyway.

A rate of 2.2% is not small. It’s astronomical. Imagine this: you see a table covered with hundred-dollar bills on a city street, and a sign over it says, “Over one in fifty people who take a hundred-dollar bill will get myocarditis.” Would you take the money? Would you drive if getting in your car carried a 2.2% chance of myocarditis?

People can be really stupid about probability. We tend to think a low risk is the same thing as complete safety.

How many babies have had mRNA shots? Let’s say it’s a million, which is not unreasonable and could be low. That’s 22,000 babies with heart problems.

How many babies have had serious problems with coronavirus? Virtually none. And doctors knew coronavirus was not a serious threat to babies before they shot a bunch of them full of experimental vaccines which HAVE given many of then heart problems.

Pretending the 22,000 figure is correct, did we kill or seriously harm 22,000 babies in order to save a couple of dozen freak babies who somehow managed to get severe covid?

Right now, leftists are busy trying to put out the sudden-death fire, and maybe they will succeed, because they distort and control information, just like their spiritual siblings in North Korea and China. When stories come out, they say dumb things like, “Anecdotal! Anecdotal!” Our knowledge of the plagues that ravaged Europe is mostly anecdotal. No one took statistics or set diagnostic standards. Was the plague imaginary?

Today, we have excess-death statistics compiled by scientists, and leftists are still saying evidence for vaccine-induced sudden deaths is anecdotal.

How do you make it NOT anecdotal? How do you prove myocarditis and pericarditis are NOT caused by covid? Is that even possible? Does the body of a 14-year-old killed by vaccine myocarditis look different from the body of one whose cardiac arrest was caused by some other problem? Journalists and people in the medical/pharmaceutical/government complex should tell us instead of presenting us with their self-serving conclusions.

What if 10 million people died from heart inflammation next month? Would they keep telling us not to connect the dots?

How do we know the risk to babies is 2.2%? That’s a hell of a question. Aren’t most cases undiagnosed? It’s pretty obvious that vaccine heart damage sometimes has no symptoms until victims drop dead. If it always came with symptoms, the deaths wouldn’t happen on basketball courts. They’d happen in hospitals, where victims would go after feeling ill.

There is no way we’re detecting all of them. What if the rate is 10%, and 2.2% represents the number we have proven to exist? I haven’t seen anyone address this, possibly because journalists are generally too stupid to deal with math and science.

Disease cases are like cockroaches. If you see one, there may be lots of others you can’t see.

When I brought up the concealment of the truth in prayer, I wasn’t thinking mainly about coronavirus. I was thinking about low-carb diets. I was asking God to tell us whether we should try them.

My wife got here two months ago, and we have been exploring American food opportunities pretty thoroughly. She is concerned about her weight, and I am not all that happy about mine. Somehow, I came across a video of Jordan Peterson telling the world he only ate beef.

I had no idea there was an all-meat diet. It sounds like a leftist caricature of the Atkins diet.

When I was a kid, a bunch of lobbyists created what we called the Food Pyramid. It told us what to eat. We were to eat a lot of the stuff on the bottom level, and progressively less as the levels got smaller.

Nobody told us food industry lobbyists shaped the pyramid, but it’s true. One would think doctors would have had a say, but our government listened to people who grew grain. As a result, with no evidence whatsoever, people in authority started telling us to pump ourselves up with grain, like beef cattle. And doctors went along with it, which is very weird.

They also told us to go easy on meat. I have no idea why, since meat also had lobbyists. I guess the grain lobbyists spent more money.

Doc Atkins popped up and told the world this was all wrong, and he was right. He said we needed to limit carbs and eat all the meat, eggs, and cheese we wanted.

He was called a quack, and the medical establishment reviled him. Darn those lobbyists.

He told us excess carbohydrates made us insulin resistant, so we craved carbs and stored fat. Other doctors hooted like contemptuous baboons.

Now, mainstream doctors tell us about the dangers of insulin resistance. But they still push carb-heavy diets. They love vegetarianism, a bizarre and unnatural practice that didn’t exist until relatively recently in man’s history.

Doctors still tell us fat is bad, even though the science that condemned it has been debunked or at least stripped of most of its luster.

Doctors literally told us how to get fat and die sooner, but they claimed they were really telling us how to get slim and healthy. Now we’re supposed to believe them when they can’t agree on their stories.

Jordan Peterson says he eats only beef. Not “meat.” Beef. That’s how far-out he is. He says he has gone from 212 pounds to 165. He says his eye floaters and gum problems vanished. He says his lifelong depression went away. He builds muscle easily. He says he sleeps better and thinks more clearly now.

Is it true? I think so. He looks like an obsessive runner, even though he isn’t. His skin looks great. His mind is sharp. He has no reason to lie. No one is paying him.

I listened to him, and I looked around the web. I started thinking my wife and I ought to go zero-carb for a few days to detox from all the pizza and cookies and bread we’ve been eating. I don’t think we should go carnivore, because even if it works, I am not willing to make the sacrifice.

When I was in law school, I went a very long time eating almost no carbs. I lost something like 25 pounds, eating as much as I wanted. I was strong. I maxed out most of the machines where I worked out. People said I would have no endurance, but I used to ride an exercise bike for 45 minutes with my heart rate at 168. I know low-carbing works for me, but I’m not going all the way. Sometimes I have to have a pizza.

Today I got up and ate 6 fried eggs with 6 slices of bacon and 3 slices of American cheese. I feel very, very good. I don’t know why, but when I skip carbs, I always feel peaceful.

I think I’ll go two more days, and then we may start eating meat and non-starchy vegetables 6 days per week, with a break on Saturday to keep us from going insane.

The annoying thing is that people are so dishonest and agenda-driven, I can’t get good information about low-carb diets. And oddly, the lines seem to be drawn between leftists, who reject God, and people who accept him. You don’t really see many left-wing low-carbers. In fact, it’s much more common to see leftists who are enraged by low-carbing. That’s bizarre, but it’s true.

There seems to be a connection between hatred of God and love of vegetarianism. Hitler was a vegetarian. A lot of really annoying godless Hollywood performers are vegetarians. PETA nuts hate Christianity, and look at their diets.

Abel pleased God. He raised and slaughtered sheep. He presented God with the blood of innocent creatures whose throats he had cut, and God was happy with him. Cain raised plants, and he had the gall to present God with produce. When God corrected him, instead of taking the hint, he murdered Abel, and he was cursed for it.

God has always been a proponent of killing animals and meat eating. He had Abraham cut animals up for the covenant of the pieces. He let Abraham cook a goat for him, and he ate it. He had Elijah set out a dead steer for him, and he sent fire to devour it. He forced the Jews to eat meat once a year on Passover. Vegetarianism was a sin to the Jews. He established a sacrificial system that essentially turned the temple into a barbecue factory.

If you could go back in time to the temple, the first thing you would notice would be the delicious smell of meat being roasted. It was there all the time, because sacrifices took place every day. A lot of sacrifices. Birds. Goats. Sheep. Cattle. The Bible says God loves the sweet smell of burning meat.

Jesus ate meat. He told his disciples to eat his flesh and drink his blood. He was called the lamb of God.

God told Peter to kill unclean animals and eat.

It’s pretty clear that God has no interest in veganism. God eats meat, and so should we.

I wish we lived in a world where people told the truth, so I could get good dietary advice everyone agrees on, but that is not possible. Human beings are too crooked. You can’t believe anything they say.

I don’t believe the people who say you should never eat plants, and I definitely don’t believe the creepy, self-righteous zealots who get angry at people who eat meat. I will continue eating meat, and I doubt I’ll ever go carnivore.

Count on Being Let Down

I have gone to several events hosted by The Last Reformation, the organization headed by Danish evangelist Torben Sondergaard. They did a very good job. They baptized people. They healed people. They cast out demons. They didn’t beg for money or tell people what to do. They told people a lot of helpful things about God.

I have recommended TLR to people because TLR does a good job of the things I listed above. I have always told them TLR was not perfect. I told them it seemed to be headed in the direction of becoming a denomination. But it was still useful.

I just got a mass email from Torben, and it looks like the things I thought might happen have happened.

I know that there are too many lone rangers running around in our network or people who are claiming to be part of our network but are not. They have not always acted in a good and biblical way, and this has given TLR a bad reputation. I am sorry every time I hear bad testimonies coming out in this way.

But I also recognize that we/I could have done many things better. A big problem we have in TLR is a lack of structure, leadership, and accountability. Not accountability in a negative controlling way, but a healthy submission to one another and the elders in the fellowship.

When I look at the more than 3 years we were in the USA, I can say we saw God do amazing things. However, we never really reached the point of having strong leadership like we have in other countries in Europe, where we have walked with people for years. It has also been more difficult in America due to its size and the fact that many people are spread out all over.

My heart, and those closest to me, share the same desire. We truly want to see a mature body with sound doctrine, healthy families, and strong leadership. We want to see people grow in all aspects of life to bring honest glory to our God.

Are we there yet? No. We are not. Will we ever get there? I’m not sure. But I recognize that we can do much better. I write this as a plea to all of you out there in our family to help. This is not something that I or a few individuals can do alone. We need everyone to take part in the work that lies ahead of us. We need to grow up in so many ways. There is so much more God has for us.

These days, I am talking with different leaders and mature individuals about how we can move forward and what needs to happen.

Years ago, God told me the age of the church was over. He meant the age of big organizations with big buildings and lists of beliefs somewhat like the catechism. He meant the big hats, tacky robes, TV cameras, real estate empires, lawyers, and PR people. When I discovered TLR, I liked it, but I thought it would do what every Christian movement does: turn into a big church with the kinds of problems big churches have. And it’s doing just that.

It’s too big to control. There are too many gates to keep track of, so jackals and fools can come in.

I don’t know what specific events spurred Torben to write his email, but I had my own disappointing experience with TLR. I took my friend Mike there, thinking he would be baptized and move on.

Torben has a young friend named Jon Bjarnstein, and he was featured prominently at TLR meetings back then. Jon spoke for a while, and while he was speaking, he made jokes. Not really his forte. He joked about speaking in tongues, and while he was joking, he did what he thought was a funny imitation of tongues.

Mike was so put off, he insisted I baptize him at his hotel. He didn’t want anyone from TLR to do it. I had to admit, it seemed like Jon was blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and that’s a big sin. You should not mock the sound of the Holy Spirit.

I had dealt with Jon myself when I had TLR baptize me, and he seemed very full of himself, which was unseemly in such a young man, especially given my age. I felt he was dismissive when I spoke with him, as though he were talking to a kid. He was in a big hurry to make a decision for me and move on to the next person. He seemed crabby, like he was crashing after several espressos. He was assertive.

Christians in their teens and twenties often get the feeling they invented God and have all the answers. It’s a real problem. I think we don’t teach enough about pride. Many Christians think it’s a good thing, and many don’t recognize pride when they see it.

I’m sure he’s a faithful servant, but he needed someone older to sit him down and give him some tips, and Torben should not have put a microphone in front of him without fixing his manners.

My feeling is that TLR is not going to shape up. They are good at getting people up on the bike, but they don’t teach them how to get rid of their training wheels. Baptism and repentance are very important. Casting demons out is very important. But you have to teach people how to converse with God every day and be transformed continually by the Holy Spirit.

I think they will focus too much on becoming organized. Well, the Catholics did that, and look at them. Saint-worshiping heretics who may not even be Christians.

I would still recommend TLR to anyone who wants to get started with God, but after that, you need to pray in tongues every day, read the word, pray for correction, and learn how to do supernatural warfare. You have to keep moving forward.

Pizza on Earth

Maybe You Should Move

Sometimes I think about the people I went to high school with, and I wonder how different their lifestyles are from mine. A lot of them are surgeons and other types of doctors. Some are lawyers. Some are professional heirs, like the kids who inherited the Lennar fortune and the Mexican guy whose father was a real estate tycoon.

One blew his brains out at 25, after getting his MD. Another died while diving drunk. Another wandered off from a climbing team, fell into a crevasse in the Himalayas, and was left there. One former friend jumped off a bridge in San Diego because he was upset about his own homosexuality.

I’m sure many are driving leased foreign cars they turn in every year or two. They live in high-priced homes in Miami or around other big cities. They must have a lot of expensive jewelry. The women must have bags that cost four figures. I’m sure most of them hate Donald Trump and have low opinions of people who live in rural areas and vote for people who support Israel and the church.

A lot of them vacation in places like Vail, New York, and Paris. Surely.

I went to the best prep school in Florida, and our student body was around 50% Jewish. People don’t like to hear it, but Jews really are smarter than the rest of us. It was normal for about 10% of a graduating class to be Merit Scholars. A lot of people, like me, went off to Ivy League schools. People who ended up at places like the University of Miami were pitied.

I ended up getting two degrees from UM, so I slid into the loser demographic.

I live on a farm. I do nothing. I wear T-shirts and Carhartt pants every single day. I wear wool socks even in summer. I wear hiking shoes or work boots all the time.

I have a Ford and a Dodge Cummins. I shoot high-powered rifles in my backyard. I think DeSantis is the greatest governor who ever lived. I smoke ribs and brew beer. I have a very smart wife with two degrees who does all my housekeeping. She has no career. The thought of getting a job disturbs her. She loves her situation.

We go to restaurants like Sonny’s BBQ and an incredible Italian place run by Mexicans. They put it in a Pizza Hut that went out of business. You can tell it used to be a chain restaurant.

My wife buys clothes at Walmart and on Amazon. I wonder how many of my classmates would would wear Walmart clothes. One of these days we’ll go to Orlando and hit some of the nicer stores, but we have not done it yet.

She wears dresses. I think she is the only wife in America who wears dresses. When we go out, she looks like royalty compared to the other girls. American women have given up. When we walk around in the grocery store, it looks like the lady who inherited it has shown up to check up on her employees.

Single ladies, if you want to impress men, wear dresses. And I don’t mean short cocktail dresses that make you look like escorts.

I know not all of my classmates are successful, but many are, and they are generally leftists. One ran Planned Parenthood in Miami. I think most would find my lifestyle ridiculous.

Meanwhile, the wife and I are having a wonderful time, and we don’t worry about the kinds of things they worry about. Marital problems that come from marrying without God’s help, for shallow reasons. Debt from trying to impress other people. Job stress. Stress from dealing with coarse, selfish, malicious blue-city types. Boys who want to be castrated. Girls who have themselves skinned in order to make ridiculous fake penises.

We love the area we live in. I love it more than my wife, because I have lived in blue cities, and I know they are hellholes of damnation and rage.

The people here could not be nicer. I have been here almost 7 glorious years, and they still surprise me.

This is a county full of tradesmen and farmers. There are not a lot of educated people here. You wouldn’t want to go to the barber shop and toss off a reference to T.S. Eliot. There are a lot of tattoos. People drink bad beer. I don’t care. They’re fantastic. It’s a privilege to live among them.

I used to think people were like this in Eastern Kentucky, where my parents were born. They’re not. Not all Southerners are the same. In Eastern Kentucky, people are selfish. Stingy. They don’t tip. They are racist. They are very angry. They treat adultery as though it were a competitive sport. They shoot each other over nothing. They neglect and degrade their kids. They drink like crazy. They love drugs. They have very short tempers. They love ignorance. Childish people.

They’re nice on the surface, but the nice layer is very thin and fragile.

Of course, I’m generalizing. I’m not God. I can’t tell you what every person there is like, and if I could, you wouldn’t be able to absorb it. Human beings are limited. We have to generalize, and it’s a good thing. It works.

I had to go to Kentucky for my dad’s funeral, and my second cousin, who is a very nice, proper lady, told me she had told her kids to get out. She said there was nothing for them there.

My aunt says I’m ashamed of my people. Well, I’m definitely ashamed of her, if that counts. I have good reason. I’m ashamed of her son, too. He has done disgraceful things.

She boosts Eastern Kentucky like it was Wakanda. She’s like a black ghetto matriarch who insists her people are brilliant, virtuous victims whose problems are caused by predatory outsiders. No; sorry. They’re trashy. They bring it all on themselves. A lifestyle of drunkenness, adultery, divorce, invertebrate-level parenting, racism, willful ignorance, and persecution of people who better themselves is always going to lead to poverty.

Eastern Kentucky’s poverty is right and normal. It’s what’s supposed to happen to people who act the way they do. Everything is going as it should, under the circumstances.

Leftists up there love to say people like Carnegie came in and stole the coal, keeping the area poor. No; the people who owned it were ignorant and weak, and that was their own fault. If they had been better people, they would have kept the coal and the profits.

Look at Texas and oil. BAM. What’s their answer to that?

Texas is full of rich people whose ancestors were poor landowners. Kentucky is full of coal truck drivers whose ancestors sold their coal to people who went to school.

I guess it’s silly to talk about coal as though it were still important. Democrats killed it, and people in Eastern Kentucky voted for them because they love government handouts more than prosperity. I don’t know what coal truck drivers do for a living now. Maybe they’re all growing dope. They’re definitely not going to work in all those profitable businesses Eastern Kentuckians never built.

You could make a pretty long list of oil billionaires from Texas. Forbes says there are 45. Here’s a complete list of all the Eastern Kentucky coal billionaires who ever lived:

.
.
.
.

BAM.

I was flim-flammed when I was a kid. I thought Kentucky was paradise, and I thought the people were better than Miami people, who are unbearable. It’s actually a wash, or maybe I’d give the edge to Miami.

I feel like apologizing to God for being fooled.

Anyway, I started writing today to tell about a restaurant I discovered recently. I’ve known about it for a long time, and I got takeout once a few years ago, but I never went inside until a few days back. They didn’t accept credit cards when I moved here, so I formed a habit of driving past. They changed their policy, so now I’m not discouraged from going in.

It’s a pizza place. Plain old red-and-white Italian food. Spaghetti, ziti, and lasagna.

I went in with my buddy Mike, and I was very impressed.

It’s probably the cleanest restaurant I’ve ever seen. I was not able to see a speck of debris anywhere. It looked like it had been gone over by a professional crew the day before. Restaurants here tend to have dirty floors and greasy menus, but this one was like an operating room. I marveled at it, and that is not an exaggeration.

The staff was very nice, and they were sharp. They got things done.

The food was okay. That’s all I can say about it. They need to get better cheese, and they should look into Stanislaus tomato products. But it’s okay. It’s reasonably good, and it’s close and cheap.

They had blinds on all the windows, and they were all pulled down. I couldn’t see out. I felt like I was in a spaceship on the way to heaven.

I’ve eaten there twice in the last week.

The last time we visited, Mike and I spent a lot of time talking about God, and while we were talking, I heard a waitress talking behind him. She was standing in the aisle with her hand on a customer’s shoulder. He was telling her something. A testimony. Something good had happened. I didn’t hear what.

She started saying, “Thank you, JESUS. Thank you, JESUS.” Everyone in the place heard it. She didn’t seem to think about that at all. No one looked up. No dirty looks. It was business as usual.

Wonderful. No wonder the restaurant is in such good order. They acknowledge God.

Not everyone here is like that, and there are a lot of dirty, disappointing restaurants, but there are lots of very serious Christians here. They even play Christian music over the speakers in chain stores and restaurants.

God has been so good to my wife and me. It is confusing.

The presence of God and Christians is something you can’t appreciate or miss until you have experienced it. You have to live in a place like this and a place like New York before you understand how much better Christian areas are. God was right. All the things he told us in the Bible were right. His ways work, and the filthy leftist ways that predominate in America are like AIDS and syphilis, rotting people as they stand.

Never doubt it. Never let them gaslight you. Never take advice from losers.

Experiences like this make me hate this world even more. In my prayers, I beg God to bring the rapture soon. Imagine living in a place where everyone agrees about everything. Everyone is bathed in love, continuously. In heaven, you won’t need guns, locks, passwords, cops, antivirus programs, medicines, surgeries…it won’t be like the earth, where trillions of creatures are out to get you every second of your life. On Earth during the millennium, there will still be some evil, but it will be a place of rest and peace and love.

Marriage Sitrep

We Found a Good Relationship Coach

I married a foreigner in 2021, and it took my wife until late last year to get here. During our time apart, which was broken up by overseas trips, people asked me how we were doing, and I always said we were doing great. Married life was good. Sometimes they would tell me to wait until we had been married longer. One said we were still on our honeymoon, because we had spent so little time together. Things would get harder.

I feel I should respond now.

First of all, God has made me aware of two dangerous sins: the sin of Job, and the sin of Joseph.

Job’s sin was that he defended himself before God, as though he deserved a perfect life because he was so obedient. This is what God told him off for when he appeared to Job. He didn’t tell him he wasn’t obedient. He criticized Job’s pride because Job thought he could show God that it was wrong to let him suffer.

Everybody deserves to suffer.

Joseph’s sin was that he was proud of favor. His dad loved him more than his other sons, and he gave him a fancy coat. Joseph danced around in the coat before the others. Joseph also had dreams in which his brothers and even his parents bowed before him, and this irked everyone in the family.

Hezekiah committed the same sin. He showed foreigners all the treasure God had give him, and Isaiah came and told him his family was cursed.

We have to testify about God’s goodness, but we aren’t supposed to brag needlessly, so I suppose there has to be some kind of balance.

I don’t want to brag about my marriage in a way that causes my wife and me problems, but I do want to praise God.

The strange truth is that we get along better and better every day. We get along better now, dealing with routine life and its challenges, than we did on fancy trips to exotic lands, where we did little but stuff ourselves with food and buy things we didn’t need.

There were some moments of friction on our trips, but nearly nothing of that sort has taken place here, and we have a fantastic time together. We laugh constantly. We treat each other with honor. We are patient with each other. Each of us does more for the other than is required, and that helps prevents spats.

My wife really loves me. There are things you can’t fake. I didn’t snag a gold digger.

So why are things going so well? Plenty of other people have failed to get along with us, and neither of us can say we were never to blame.

Prayer in tongues is a necessary part of a proper Christian life. It’s not optional or dispensable.

When you pray in tongues, God aligns your heart and mind with his.

Married couples, and friends, and coworkers, and rulers of nations, need to be aligned with each other in order for peace to exist. It’s not possible to make this happen without divine help. If it were, it would have happened already, and it hasn’t.

If your heart and mind are aligned with God’s, and so are your wife’s, you will be aligned with each other. There is no way around it. You can’t be aligned with God and in conflict with each other.

God gives us grace to pray in tongues a lot. We don’t have a perfect record, but he has managed to help us pray enough to make us one with each other.

If you and your wife aren’t praying in tongues, you’re probably working hard on your own to make your marriage work. With this method, success is not always possible.

I sincerely believe the Holy Spirit makes our marriage work, and if we get away from him, we may cease to get along and even divorce. I don’t believe we deserve any credit. It would be dangerous to claim it.

Things are going well, and it’s not because we’re great people. It is pure charity. All we did was stop resisting when God told us to pray in tongues.

This is how I feel as we approach our third anniversary.

Satan Needs a Red Carpet Interview

Expect Gushing Over his “Brave and Stunning” Backless Vera Wang Gown

When Paul heard that a self-proclaimed Christian was having sex with the wife of his own father, he turned the man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh. Paul said the purpose of doing this was to save the man’s spirit in the day of the Lord Jesus.

It was a curse, but it wasn’t a condemnation to hell. The purpose of the curse was to either wake the man up, through affliction of his flesh, or to make him suffer the permanent consequences. We are often cursed for various reasons. Whether problems turn out to be curses in the long run depends on us. A person who is repentant and close to God can’t really be cursed, in the strictest sense of the word. He can only be afflicted temporarily, because curses can’t stick to those who are forgiven and repentant. If we refuse to repent, though, curses are just curses. They stick forever or until they run their courses.

I was thinking about this world just now, and I realized it’s just like a man. God will pour out the tribulation soon, and because it will be horrible to endure, people will see it as a curse. But the people who repent during that time will be saved and taken to heaven, so to them, it will turn out to be a blessing.

The people who won’t listen will endure it as an unredeemed curse, and they will go to hell and the lake of fire, forever. Thank God for that, because that’s where they should be. The saved can’t be expected to tolerate these people and their abuse forever.

“Tribulation” doesn’t mean “punishment” or “disaster.” It’s a harvesting technique. It comes from farming, like plowing and sowing. God will use the tribulation to help people by driving them into his fold. They will be harvested. He will glean the corners of the field. The rest–the tares–will suffer and burn for eternity. How you respond to the tribulation determines whether it’s a curse or a blessing in the long run.

When ancient farmers used tribulums to separate grain from trash, they didn’t think they were punishing their grain.

T.B. Joshua has been banned from Youtube again.

T.B. Joshua died suddenly and peacefully, living in abundance, with no apparent health problems, in 2021, while my wife and I were in Egypt, on the cruise during which I proposed to her.

This was not long after his first Youtube ban. He had a channel called Emmanuel TV, and it was THE biggest Christian channel. A small but vocal group of sodomites got Youtube to ban him because he appeared in a video, casting demons of perversion out of a man. There was no appeal. It was persecution, plain and simple. Joshua broke no laws. He simply did what Christians are supposed to do. His channel was destroyed because he was a proper Christian.

His church put up another channel, which Youtube tolerated until a few days back.

Recently, BBC Africa put up a disgraceful mockumentary hit piece in which discredited witnesses lied about Joshua, claiming rape, physical abuse, and all sorts of other things. Not all of the witnesses have been discredited, but the process was in the works. Emmanuel TV published videos discrediting them and BBC Africa, and because Emmanuel TV is gone now, the process of discrediting false witnesses on Youtube has been greatly curtailed, so if the job isn’t finished, it’s only because Emmanuel TV has been gagged again. It’s not because the remaining witnesses are telling the truth.

Even if one or two are right, which is unlikely, this man and his ministry did many miracles, not just for people in his presence, but for people far away, like my wife.

Moses was a murderer, as was David. They were still legitimate men of God.

Youtube is openly antichristian. The mask came off in 2021, and now we have been reminded again.

My wife told me about the new ban yesterday, and I said Satan should just appear and talk to people directly. He should have press conferences, complete with the tail and horns. He’s so obvious now. And a big percentage of people would be thrilled to see him. They would see him as their savior. I’ll bet 25% of Americans would gladly worship Satan right now if he appeared on national TV.

I used to think the antichrist–the man–would hide his allegiance to Satan, but now I doubt that. Why should he hide it? People will be fine with it. He can say, “I get my power and great ideas from Satan, who has been slandered by [wait for it] THE JEWS. And Christians. He’s actually wonderful. Christians and Jews, though, not so much. They have to go. They stood between you and your real savior. Jesus is the real devil. He’s a homophobe and a transphobe.”

STEM people already wear T-shirts featuring drawings of Satan, with captions like, “Keep Learning Science, Kids.” People at CERN created and published a video of men in robes offering a naked woman (can’t say “virgin”) to Satan. We have Satanism clubs in schools. Satanists deliver opening prayers at government meetings. Satan is like a wrongly deposed leader living in exile. He can come home now.

Jews used to worship Satan openly. Modern Chasids like to think they carry a perfect, untainted torch, from a religion that never failed God, but that’s a pathetic delusion. There are ancient synagogues in Israel that have two altars: one for Yahweh, and one for “the queen of heaven,” or Ashtoreth/Venus/Aphrodite/Ishtar/Easter. Not only did they worship Satan, they did it in their synagogues.

They had a place in the valley of Gehenna/Hinnom where they burned their babies alive at a statue of Moloch. Jews. Religious ones who went to synagogues and the temple. The did it openly. Close to the temple of Yahweh.

Jezebel was the queen of Israel, she paid hundreds of false prophets to administer the worship of Satan, and she killed the prophets of Yahweh, in public, en masse, with the Jewish king’s eager help.

Jews worshiped a golden cow representing Satan as the Egyptian false god Hathor, while witnessing God’s miracles every day. Anyone who says we would all worship God properly if he were just more obvious is a fool. Just look at the Jews under Moses.

We are no different. Most of us will be happy to worship Satan or Moloch or Vishnu or whatever he calls himself. If he tells us to worship a cinderblock or a pile of manure, we’ll worship that. People have done pretty much the same thing with idols.

I have had it with this place. I wish Yeshua would come right this minute. It’s not going to get better. The world is like a big, painful carbuncle loaded with hot, fermenting pus under tremendous pressure. Yeshua needs to come, lance it, and heal it. Clean bandages for the wounds. An incinerator for the pus.

Evangelization is going nowhere. We don’t see the numbers we saw during the last centuries. We do see an astronomical increase in pride, sin, and blasphemy. Christians who think we’re about to take over the world are out of their minds. Yeshua couldn’t do it. The early church, with all its miracles and prophesies couldn’t do it. We’re much weaker and filthier. How are we supposed to do it? Guitar masses and Christian rap? Be serious. It’s not going to work.

God himself could not do it, so it’s ridiculous to expect us to do it. It’s arrogant. It’s ignorant. The only answer is for God himself, not Christians with AR-15’s, to exterminate and incarcerate the damned intractable and remove all evil spirits from the earth. This is what the Bible says he will do.

Yes They Are

In case anyone is wondering how close we are to the rapture, here is a hint. A CBS affiliate in Albany, New York, just used a woke pronoun for a dog.

How stupid will people have to become before this all ends?

Nigerian Preacher’s “Daughter” Turns Out to be Foundling

BBC Africa’s T.B. Joshua hit piece keeps falling apart. It’s astonishing. I am used to watching leftist journalists lie and cover up, but this is a new level. They made no effort at all to uncover the truth. They used already-debunked accusers, and they didn’t vet their claims.

One claim: T.B. Joshua’s daughter Ajoke was abused at his church, the Synagogue Church of All Nations. People insulted and beat her, and Joshua was fine with it.

Problem: she isn’t his daughter.

SCOAN has a sister church in Greece: SCOAN Thessalonica. The leader is a Greek named Harry. He spent 17 years at SCOAN in Lagos, at T.B. Joshua’s side.

SCOAN Thessalonica just put out a video containing old footage of T.B. Joshua discussing Ajoke. He tells the story of taking her off the street and giving her a home. He sent her to a British school in Togo. He complains that she stole money. She caused trouble. The school sent him letters, including a confession she wrote. He found her incorrigible.

He said she taught him a lesson: he should’t try to take in every poor child he met. He said that if he hadn’t suffered with her, he might have adopted a lot of children who would have turned out badly in spite of his kindness and made him miserable.

In the footage, he displays documents proving she wasn’t his daughter. She was found behind the church, abandoned. A man associated with the church found her and took her to the police, and the police asked the church to raise her.

There is even footage of her, shot on the day she was found.

SCOAN has a long history of shooting a lot of video, even behind the scenes. This is why the footage exists.

The footage is real, and it was shot long before the BBC did its hit piece. Unless T.B. Joshua had some reason for doing a hit piece of his own, years before the BBC went after him, it must be reliable.

Maybe some of the accusers are telling the truth, and T.B. Joshua was a terrible person, but based on what I have seen so far, it seems unlikely in the extreme.

Why didn’t the BBC ask for the old videos? Why didn’t they investigate the claim that this woman was Joshua’s biological daughter?

One of the great things about the Bible is that it says all liars end up in the lake of fire. It will be nice to live in a place where I’m not constantly wondering whom to believe.

Leftist lies keep increasing. They rise up to our necks and threaten to drown us. Some day the fog will clear, and a lot of people who are enjoying their cabals and conspiracies won’t be smiling any more.

Signs and Wonders are Normal and Good

Mark 16:17-18

As I wrote the other day, BBC Africa produced a three-part hit piece on Nigerian preacher T.B. Joshua. He was not known well in America, but he had the biggest Christian Youtube channel, and he had one of the most prominent ministries in the world. He filled Youtube with videos of people being healed and receiving deliverance.

The BBC says he faked his healings, and it presented several witnesses who claimed he raped women. Two of the alleged victims are old news. One is a proven liar. The other appears to be nuts. Another one is a British lesbian, and homosexuals have been instrumental in attacking Joshua’s ministries. Two have close family members who work or worked in the church, and one family member took the time to put out a video saying he never witnessed the kinds of things that have been alleged.

People are coming out of the woodwork to defend Joshua. It looks like the BBC has sparked a backlash, at least on Youtube..

Some comments on the BBC videos:

My Dad also received his healing on the prayer line after been prayed for by Prophet TB Joshua

My sister prayed along with prophet TB Joshua through Emanuel TV in 2012 she fell down started vomiting and was completely delivered from Uterus Cancer which was confirmed by her oncologist. So this man was powerful enough to use technology to heal people world wide.

In 2019 my mother started watching Emmanuel TV and with the teachings of prophet Tb Joshua our life changed in a wonderful way, I was healed from a sickness that I had since I was a child, the grace of Jesus Christ was always in him, thank you Jesus for the life of the prophet Tb Joshua!

I thank God for the life of Prophet TB Joshua. A visit to his church has transformed our lives drastically. My friend who had stage 4 cancer (leukemia) and had few months to live got totally healed, this was over 10 years ago and she is totally healthy today. He led me and my entire family to Christ, today we have over 150 people who gather with us to hear the Word of God and have all given their lives to Christ. It all began with TB Joshua

I went to the SCOAN in 2014 with my uncle who had tuberculosis that the hospitals tried and failed to treat, and he was healed after being prayed for by the man of God, he is still alive and strong today

My cousin who was a chronic smoker went to synagogue church of all nations and after being prayed for he stopped smoking. Its only the power of God that heals, and delivers people from their bondages. We all have our flaws! But doesnt take away the fact that TB Joshua was being used by God.

The yoke of barrenness in my life for almost 10 yrs was broken, after he laid hands on me, continue to rest In peace God’s general! No imposters can bring your ministry down! Your good legacy lives on

We thank God for the live of Prophet TB Joshua. My son was healed of mental disorder at SCOAN. I went to SCOAN in 2019. satan is a loser.

What a Man of God. Delivered many of us through the power of Jesus Christ. My uncle had a damaged liver, he could die anytime. He went to Scoan, hes still alive. Praise be to the God of T.B Joshua

The ministry of Prophet TB Joshua has been a great blessing to me and my family. The ministry healed my wife of a twisted intestine in 2014, delivered my son from delayed speech after my wife visited SCOAN from the UK in 2018, and made me see the practical aspect of Christianity through healing, prophecy and deliverance.

I was delivered from chronic menstrual pain by prophet tb joshua. I was well taken care off while at SCOAN.
He is a genuine servant of God.

I was sick when I went to Scoan, I was always visiting the doctor and being rushed to the hospital emergency section until I went to Scoan and TB Joshua prayed for me and I never ever again fell sick, God completely healed. Tb Joshua reconciled my marriage in Jesus Christ name and it’s been years I’m living in peace and love with my family. Tb Joshua taught us through this acts of love he demonstrated and through the Powerful teachings of the word of God to take care of the poor, orphans, widows, elderly and the physically challenged. We do love charity work because of TB Joshua teachings.
Tb Joshua a good humble man who has lived a life of sacrifice for God and for the benefit of all humanity.

I received my deliverance from smoking for 25yrs in 2014 till now through his touch and when I visited scoan he cared and loved guests wholeheartedly.

They are blaming him for the collapse of a building his church owned. Anyone who has ever paid for construction–a small fraction of human beings, unfortunately–knows that building safety is primarily the responsibility of architects, engineers, contractors, and inspectors. I could sit here and make a list of the faulty and/or dangerous projects my family and I have paid for in good faith. No one ever tried to blame us, but somehow a pastor is responsible when his building falls over.

T.B. Joshue never designed, built, or inspected anything. He relied on people who took his church’s money.

Maybe some of the things accusers are saying will turn out to be true, but the BBC’s methods are slimy and disgraceful.

It’s irritating to see smug cessationists (apostates) criticizing people who tried to get miracles from Joshua. What, exactly, did people do when Yeshua was nearby? Did they hide in their houses saying it was wrong to look for signs and wonders?

Yeshua was speaking in a house. Several men cut a hole in the roof and lowered a paralytic to him so he could be healed. Yeshua was pleased by their faith, and he healed and forgave the man. He shamed the religious Jews who questioned it.

He said, “but that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins . . . I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.”

The rabbis and priests got a humiliating lecture, and the man who wanted a miracle walked away well.

If you get your friends to lower you through a hole in a roof so you can be healed, aren’t you chasing signs and wonders?

Yeshua healed a man who kept his bed by the pool of Bethesda, waiting for a miracle. Why didn’t he get a stick and beat him for chasing Satanic healing?

I chase signs and wonders every single day, and sometimes I get them. Miss out if you want.

I always ask God to keep me away from the witch doctors. I’m referring to MD’s. We think they’re little gods, but people thought the same thing back when they were bleeding people. We were extremely impressed with their technology back when they had no antibiotics and smoked cigarettes while treating us.

No matter how much time passes, we always look down on the doctors of 50 years ago. The doctors of 1974 look like idiots now. I’m ahead of the curve. I’m looking down on today’s medicine, right now. I know it will look stupid in 50 years, if the world continues that long.

It already looks stupid, to some extent. Coronavirus shots cause blood clots and heart attacks. That’s proven. It’s not a conspiracy theory. Social distancing, according to Dr. Fauci himself, had no scientific basis. Masking didn’t work, but we had to suffer very greatly because of it. Doctors pooh-poohed medicines that are now turning out to be at least somewhat effective. They confined old people to small facilities in New York, resulting in increased contagion and the deaths of thousands. They made kids get shots even though their risk of serious disease was about like their risk of being bitten by sharks.

I’ve had doctors tell me very stupid things. They told my mother she couldn’t have carpets or curtains because I had a dust allergy I didn’t have. They didn’t tell her to quit smoking 50 cigarettes right next to me every day. I had a doctor recommend cholesterol-reduction measures when I was 27, because my GOOD cholesterol was on the high side. A doctor told my mother I had a cleft palate. This is the kind of thing people notice, when true. I was told my repeated bouts of tonsillitis were caused by herpes, which wasn’t true. I had a big kidney stone, and a doctor sent me home on a Saturday morning with enough painkillers to get me through 24 hours.

I caught norovirus and stupidly went to a doctor. He did a blood test, which is ridiculous. He called later and said my bilirubin was high. He said I needed more tests. I asked him what could cause a high bilirubin level. He said sometimes viral infections caused it.

Viral.

My mother’s doctor tried to give her thalidomide for morning sickness, and she turned it down. Said something felt wrong.

Doctors and dentists gave my sister something like 100 painkillers a week, based solely on her word, and some of them knew she was lying.

Doctors have also told me over and over that they couldn’t do anything for me. They have never cured a viral infection for me, and like you, I’ve had dozens. When I was a kid, I got diarrhea when I was stressed. They couldn’t fix DIARRHEA. I have a congenital skin problem they can’t fix. They can’t fix my age-related farsightedness. They can’t prevent gallstones or kidney stones. They can’t cure arthritis, so when my hands bothered me, I didn’t bother them. The problem went away on its own. I was treated for depression in college. No effect. They treated me for ADD, but the treatment was worse than the problem.

There is no treatment for most types of dementia, which is extremely common. Think about that. They have pills that don’t work very well, and you can take them, but they won’t fix you.

They’ve been working on AIDS for 40 years, and they can’t cure or prevent it. They can’t even make a dangerous mRNA vaccine.

Doctors decided sexual perversion was healthy. They decided it was okay to castrate confused young men and skin young women in order to cobble pathetic fake penises together. They amputate healthy breasts. They put Caitlyn Jenner’s genitalia in an incinerator. They give puberty blockers to kids, resulting in permanent, devastating damage.

A doctor killed Kanye West’s mother by giving her a whole bunch of unneeded plastic surgeries all at once. Doctors amputate healthy legs and leave cancerous ones attached. They cut Dana Carvey open and bypassed healthy arteries, leaving the blocked ones in place.

Doctors did lobotomies and useless shock treatments.

Having doctors is much better than not having them, but let’s not kid ourselves. They can’t do what God does, they do a lot of harm, and God should be our first resort.

When I have to go to a doctor, I consider it a personal failure, because God has healed me so many times. If I can’t get a miracle, it has to be because I am doing something wrong.

I do not believe God created doctors to heal us. A lot of Christians say that, but it’s a cop-out, like saying, “God finally healed him,” when your dad dies from cancer. I don’t think there would be any doctors if we were doing things Yeshua’s way, because we wouldn’t need them. When you go to a doctor, you’re giving up. You’re not getting God’s best solution.

Yeshua and the prophets never sent anyone to doctors. Think about that.

To get back to T.B. Joshua, my faith isn’t based on watching his videos. It’s based on things that happened, and happen, to me, personally. When no one is around. I hope all the BBC attacks turn out to be lies, but whether or not they do, I will still know miracles and deliverance are real, and I will still know the BBC is evil.

Living on Charity

I feel so blessed.

Far from crowds. Far from turmoil. Best wife possible. Two prayer sessions a day, with my wife and the most wonderful God anyone could ask for. Funny little bird by my side watching me type. Excellent strong wheat ale from a recipe I wrote in 2004, improved by using Bergamot hops.

I hope everyone reading this gets close to God and receives the desires of their hearts.

Tunneling Jews Battle NYPD for Unknown Reasons

The apocalyptic weirdness keeps on coming.

This week’s weirdness: Orthodox Jews who may possibly worship a dead rabbi, fighting the NYPD over a secret tunnel they dug under a sidewalk. They built a tunnel and a secret room, and the tunnel was full of junk including a stained mattress and a baby stroller. When the cops came, some of the Jews stood in the secret room and had to be dragged out. There was a small riot in the main area of the synagogue. The movement the synagogue belongs to has thanked the police and disavowed the actions of the tunnel builders.

Can it get any weirder than this? You don’t often see Jews fighting the police. It’s almost refreshing.

I didn’t understand the story at all when it broke. I didn’t understand why religious Jews would dig a tunnel connecting a synagogue to a mikveh. I didn’t understand why they put mattresses in it. I could not figure out why some of them would fight the police when they showed up to address the problem, which could have led to dangerous structural failures.

I didn’t understand why the story was such a big deal. Okay, it’s news, but not major news.

I think I have a better understanding now.

The people involved belonged to Chabad, a very strange–is “demonination” the word? Do Jews have denominations? Anyway, Chabad is a super-Orthodox group, and they follow a guy they call the Lubavitcher Rebbe. When one Rebbe dies, a new one is chosen. But this process hit a snag in 1994.

The then-current Rebbe was a man named Menachem Schneerson, and he had his followers very excited, because a lot of them thought he might be the capital “M” Messiah. The guy who would defeat the enemies of the Jews and usher in an era of peace and so on. Rebbe Schneerson disappointed a lot of people by dying of a stroke and failing to return from the dead.

Now there is conflict in Chabad. Some members worship Schneerson and say he will be resurrected when he’s ready. They pray to him. Others say he never died, and he’s waiting somewhere, possibly with Elvis and Tupac Shakur, until the day he chooses to come out and reveal the prank. These are supposedly fringe positions. The official position of Chabad is that Schneerson hasn’t been proven to be the Messiah.

The issues here are obvious to anyone who knows anything about Jews.

One of the big Jewish objections to Yeshua is the claim that he doesn’t fit into a monotheistic religion. Yeshua, like Yahweh, is God. Mainstream Jews don’t believe in the Trinity. They think it’s polytheistic, like worshiping Zeus and Apollo.

The Trinity is clearly mentioned in the Old Testament. Genesis says the Holy Spirit is God, for example. Right away, that gives you two thirds of the Trinity. Then there is Isaiah 9, which clearly says the Messiah is “almighty God,” completing the package.

Another objection is that mainstream Jews say the Messiah isn’t divine. They say he will be an anointed leader like David, but not a deity. This conflicts directly with Isaiah 9, but whatever.

Now we have certain Chabadniks praying to Schneerson. If they’re praying to him, it certainly looks like they think he is God. So if the Messiah is not God, and Schneerson is the Messiah, why would monotheistic Jews pray to him instead of, or in addition to, Yahweh?

I don’t know if any of this is related to the illegal hole, but it’s interesting.

While I was reading about the hole, I saw a shocking photo of the inside of the Chabad synagogue in question. It shows what appears to be the synagogue’s shul, or main congregation area. There are two huge banners there in Hebrew and English, and the banner written in English says, “Master, Teacher, & Rebbe King Moshiach Forever.”

So what’s up with that?

The hole was supposedly dug by some nutty young bucks who don’t represent the movement. Video shows them standing in the secret room as it is dismantled, refusing to leave. As noted above, Chabad says it is not involved in the tunnel scheme. Did the tunnel boys put the banners up recently, suggesting they are rebelling against Chabad’s position on Schneerson, or have they been up a long time, suggesting Chabad is now a full-throttle Messianic movement, with a dead Rebbe as its Messiah?

If a Rebbe is “Moshiach Forever,” doesn’t that mean he’s God? Men don’t live forever.

From the appearance of the banners, it’s clear they are not new, and it seems unlikely that rebels could have them printed and hang them up, during a tunnel crisis, over the furious objections of, well, everyone else.

Could it be that Chabad’s official but secret position is that Schneerson is God and the Messiah? It sure looks that way. Could it be they are concealing this because they don’t want the embarrassment of having to drop two of their objections to Yeshua?

This would mean nearly nothing to Christians, but it would be a big story among Jews.

If Schneerson can be God, so can Yeshua. If Schneerson and Yahweh can be God, so can Yeshua and Yahweh.

Are they just saying Schneerson is A messiah, and that he remains one forever, even in heaven? If so, that’s pretty disrespectful to the current Lubavitcher Rebbe, if one exists.

I’m checking, and I can’t find any reference to any current Rebbe, so apparently, a dead man is still in office. In the past, they replaced dead Rebbes right away.

Why hasn’t Schneerson been replaced? It has been nearly three decades. The Lubavitch movement got its first Rebbe in 1775, and for two centuries, they managed to find new ones quickly. What happened this time?

None of this has any relationship to the popularity of this story. It looks like the story’s huge web presence is due to a familiar problem: antisemitism. Nuts are suggesting the presence of a dirty mattress and baby paraphernalia is related to activities like the sacrifice of infants. The blood libel is topping the charts again.

It’s actually true that Jews used to sacrifice babies. Their own. This is documented in the Old Testament. Jews who worshiped false gods burned their children alive in Jerusalem, in the area of Gehenna, as sacrifices to Moloch. This was a widespread practice in the general area of the Middle East. Archaeologists have found jars with tiny skeletons in the walls of houses. Sacrificing your firstborn son was like joining the Freemasons, Skull and Bones, the Church of Scientology, or a fraternity. It was a way of selling out in order to secure success.

Jews got this practice from Gentiles, who outnumbered them by a large factor, and it was never approved in Jewish doctrine. It’s kind of strange that baby sacrifice isn’t associated with Arabs, given that their ancestors came up with it.

There is no evidence that Jews sacrificed Jewish or Gentile babies after Biblical times, and for that matter, Gentiles have generally given the practice up, just as most of us quit eating each other when Judaism’s offshoot, Christianity, reached our areas. But somehow, the libel keeps coming back to life, unlike false Messiahs. And it’s never about Gentiles, who sacrificed more babies than anyone.

Christians and other Gentiles still sacrifice babies at clinics all over the world, but Orthodox Judaism forbids convenience abortion.

Fortunately for the children of the Antichrist, who are the persecutors of Jews and Christians alike, facts don’t matter any more than black lives do. To the children of Satan, black lives only matter when non-blacks take them, and the truth about Jews has never mattered. They will keep believing whatever seems to rationalize their hatred of people who are precious to God.

We are entering an age of cruelty that will make horror movies seem mild. People on the left are being pumped full of rage, and when they are released, the demons who drive them will make every day like October 7, everywhere. Ideas like ACAB, Black Lives Matter, the problem of whiteness, toxic masculinity, and pervert pride will motivate the troops to commit atrocities on a global scale, every day.

A man named Bill Wiese claims he spent 23 minutes in hell, in a vision. I think he is probably telling the truth. He said he thought he was condemned. He was put in a cell with two huge beings. They had claws. They looked like reptiles. They sound like millennials who did too much body modification, which comes from demons driving people to adopt their appearance. Each being had a thousand times Wiese’s strength. They picked him up and ripped him open for fun, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

I believe spirits like that will be running things when God releases the tribulation on the world. It should be no surprise that Arabs could slice a woman’s breast off while raping her, or that they shot women in their vaginas and disobeyed Mohammed by raping Jewish men and boys. When demons convince you you’re the victim of bullies, you will naturally feel a desire to inflict unspeakable suffering on the people you think are your tormentors.

It will be interesting to see if we get more news about Chabad. It would be weird to have two types of Messianic Jews in the world.

Jews say other Jews who accept Yeshua cease to be Jews. Wonder if that will happen to those who worship Schneerson.

Swimming in the Lies of Worthless People

Kings 1 21:9-10

I wrote about the BBC’s T.B. Joshua hit piece, which came out this week. Since then, I’ve learned some things.

As far as my wife and I can tell, there are 9 women who have accused Joshua of sexual abuse. Yesterday, I thought it was 16 because of what I had read. It’s not good to have 9 women accuse you of rape, but it’s better than 16.

It turns out many, if not all, of these women have raised their claims in the past.

One is South African. She claims that late in their relationship, Joshua told her he was surprised she wasn’t Nigerian. She has a strong South African accent, so there is no way she’s telling the truth. He knew as soon as he met her. If she would like about this, what else would she lie about?

Another has been on Youtube many times, making her implausible claims. She comes across as crazy and desperate for attention. I can’t believe a person like that without physical evidence, of which there is none.

Another is an angry lesbian. Lesbians and other homosexuals have been making coordinated attacks on Joshua for years. A small group of them got his channel removed from Youtube because he posted a video in which he cast demons of homosexuality out. His channel was the single biggest Christian channal on the site, and they got it pulled in one day, with no appeal. I don’t believe her.

Another accuser has a brother and sister who are still in ministry and who continue to endorse T.B. Joshua. The brother has a Youtube channel in which he perpetuate’s Joshua’s teachings and heals in his style. We are supposed to believe the siblings are continuing to support a man who raped their sister, or, alternatively, we should believe she never told them. No. That’s not credible.

There are no witnesses to any of the alleged assaults. One guy said he saw a woman’s feet under Joshua’s bedroom door. That’s about it. There is no physical evidence for any of the cases.

The details about the accusers are even worse than I’m making it seem. I don’t plan to spend a week researching this and writing about it, but you can find out for yourself if you want.

A man who accuses Joshua of corruption was, himself, dismissed from the ministry for corruption and abusing women sexually. He left, accused Joshua of various things, and then returned and recanted. You can find him online, testifying about the wonderful things God did for him through Joshua.

He was thrown out again, and now he’s talking to the BBC. As a news organization, the BBC is supposed to tell us about the credibility issues of its sources, but there is no such material in the documentary.

The documentary has been out about two days, and it’s already falling apart. What will things look like after a month?

SCOAN (Joshua’s church) has exposed some of these people in the past, long before the BBC encouraged them to tell their stories. The BBC should point this out. You can find videos SCOAN produced.

Here’s something else which wrecks the BBC’s credibility: they play horror-movie music in the background of their videos. Who does that? Imagine even a hack outfit like MSNBC filming the Trump White House and putting spooky music in the background. You could put that music behind video of happy baby ducks playing in a pond, and it would make them look like demons. It’s unethical. It’s not just a bad idea. It’s a total breach of established journalistic ethics.

Imagine you’re on trial for something you didn’t do. Every time the prosecutor questions a prosecution witness, he plays spooky music. Do you think the judge would stand for that for one second? They didn’t do that for Ted Bundy or Adolf Eichmann, who were guilty as hell.

All sorts of people are coming forward to tell of their miraculous experiences that involved T.B. Joshua. As I said yesterday, my own wife was healed instantly and permanently of an eye condition, after applying his blessed “Morning Water.” People who worked in the ministry are coming forward and saying they never heard of or saw the things the accusers claim happened.

Here’s the weirdest claim the accusers make: one of them says Joshua hated white people and made them his slaves out of pure sadism. He says Joshua was mad because white people enslaved his ancestors, and in his youth, before his ministry went anywhere, he said he would get revenge by enslaving white people.

Nigerians were not enslaved by white people in Nigeria. Slaves were moved from Nigeria to the New World. They were also sold to other Africans. T.B. Joshua’s ancestors were more likely to have sold slaves than to have become slaves.

I looked into visiting SCOAN. I dropped the idea because it was such a pain in the butt. You have to ask for permission. It takes a long time to get approval and arrange things. They drive you to the church from the airport in an armed caravan because Nigeria is full of violent Muslims. You have to stay at the church because Lagos is not safe.

If Joshua wanted to enslave white people, why did he make it so hard for them to visit? And where are the rest of the white slaves? He had white people high up in his organization, helping him run things. He had white ministers who appeared on camera. He had a few disciples, only a couple of whom claim they were enslaved. Where are the rest? When you look at videos of the church, you see very few whites. If Joshua was collecting white slaves, he did a really poor job.

If I were a Nigerian, and I wanted white slaves, I would invite them to visit. I would tell them they were welcome any time. I would tell them Nigeria was dangerous so they would take precautions and make it to my church alive, but I wouldn’t force them to show up in armed convoys or make them stay in the church. I’d convince them they were as free as birds, and then I’d start closing the trap. Joshua didn’t do any of that.

The whole business is like what happened to Torben Sondergaard from The Last Reformation. The Danish press made an extremely dishonest documentary about him and even passed a law intended to ban his type of ministry. They made it appear he was involved with strangers who ran corrupt ministries. The public ate it up. It was all a lie.

I’ve been to several TLR events. It’s not a cult. You come and go as you please. They don’t ask for money. They don’t tell you what to do. There is zero pressure of any kind.

Torben eventually spent more than a year in prison over bogus immigration problems, and then he was deported. A nutcase who used to work with him joined forces with a rich foreigner who hates him, and they got it done. Torben obeyed the law, and he would have been a wonderful addition to our citizenry. The other two seem like better candidates for prison.

Maybe Joshua will eventually be proven guilty of something. It hasn’t happened yet. I don’t know if we will ever know what really happened. The BBC is full of liars. Many of the accusers are proven liars. On the other hand, ministers and their minions lie like crazy.

I’m sick of this world of lies. It seems like everyone is a lawyer now, interested in winning arguments but uninterested in arriving at the truth. The deception is insurmountable. It’s impossible to prove anything these days. The liars will not shut up, and people believe them.

I completely understand why God burned the Sodomites alive and told Joshua to kill Canaanites of every age. I understand why the Jews were commanded to kill every single Amalekite. Humanity is disgusting and beyond redemption. Only a few here and there will make it. The rest are just the placenta. They serve a purpose here, but they will be discarded once they’re not needed. The rapture can’t some soon enough.

In closing, here’s a great video to give you comfort about the future. These are the people Satan is waiting to unleash on you.

The Sand is Wet

I’m Still Standing

Last night I heard surprising news. Nigerian preacher T.B. Joshua (deceased, June 2021) had his own BBC documentary. It just appeared. Sixteen women have accused him of things like repeated rape and kidnapping.

CORRECTION: it appears I was misled. Not unusual when the BBC is involved. By my wife’s count, there are only 9 women who accuse Joshua of sexual abuse.

The BBC’s ad copy refers to him as one of Africa’s richest preachers. Africa is full of crooked charismatic preachers who teach Satan’s prosperity gospel.

When a man is accused of rape by one woman, it means nothing whatsoever until there is corroborating evidence. When 16 women make an accusation, it’s different, because the likelihood that 16 people will tell the same lie is much smaller than the likelihood that one woman will make a false rape accusation, which is extremely, extremely high.

A relative of mine has made three false accusations that I know of. She’s not unusual.

In writing about this, I will not trouble myself to type “alleged” over and over, so insert it yourself where appropriate.

Joshua was born in poverty in Nigeria, and he ended up with a church called SCOAN, the Synagogue Church of All Nations. He performed all sorts of miracle healings. He and his followers blessed tap water and sent it out as “Morning Water,” and people who used it claimed they received healings. He cast demons out in front of crowds. He did all sorts of works of philanthropy.

His church never had a scandal while he was alive. Leftists, who hate him because he cast demons out of perverts, claim it was a scandal when a building that belonged to SCOAN collapsed and killed people, but that isn’t true. Anyone can buy a building that has been designed negligently. If you want to see a real scandal, look up Peter Popoff, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker, or any of thousands of priests who have been caught with boys.

He ministered for something like 40 years. He was only married once. He never divorced. He did not charge for water, and he refused to sell it, but he did limit distribution to people who paid small fees to become members of his ministry.

My wife was healed instantly, using this water. She had eye problems, and she gave Morning Water a try. This was years ago. She was healed immediately and permanently, in the privacy of her home.

Other ministries trace their roots to SCOAN. A New Zealand businessman named Bill Subritzky traveled to SCOAN and learned from Joshua. He started a ministry based in his own country, and he did the same things Joshua did. He was very wealthy before he started his ministry. He was a real estate developer. He didn’t teach the prosperity gospel or beg people for money. He died without scandal.

Mark Hemans, an Australian, has an active ministry. He travels constantly, doing what Joshua did. You can see him on Youtube. He does not teach the prosperity gospel. He does not ask for money, and he rarely mentions it, except in cases where people are under financial curses.

I have not drawn any conclusions about the BBC’s claims, but I know a couple of things.

A few years back, a Nigerian lady claimed Joshua had abused her sexually. I looked into it. She seemed crazy to me. Not credible. She seemed to be a nut who wanted attention. You can find videos of her on Youtube. See what you think. I didn’t pay any attention to her.

One lady who accuses him now is a homosexual, so obviously, she is not right mentally. Lesbianism is a mental abnormality, and it may come with other problems. She claims she went to Joshua to be delivered. I am skeptical because perverts have worked very hard to destroy Joshua’s ministry. Before he died, a small group of angry perverts got his Youtube channel removed overnight, because he was shown delivering a homosexual man.

It’s easier for me to believe that a mentally-disturbed person belonging to a group known to be hostile to T.B. Joshua, and known for spreading lies, would lie than it is for me to believe Joshua raped her. Maybe he did, but she is not a convincing witness.

Now I’ve learned about problems with a third witness. My wife explained something to me. A lady claims Joshua raped her over and over. She also says that late in their relationship, he told her he was surprised to learn she was South African. She claims he thought she was Nigerian.

South Africans are very easy for Nigerians to identify. My wife explained it. They have a very distinct accent. My wife heard her and knew instantly that she was South African. In Internet comments, other Africans have said the same thing. Clearly, she lied about what Joshua said, so why trust her accusations?

She has also claims other men believed to be prophets raped her. Men from other organizations. The obvious question: how many prophets have to rape you before you quit bothering prophets? It’s not credible. If I got raped every time I went to the dentist, I would quit going. Wouldn’t you?

These are my opinions.

Out of 16 accusers, I discard three. That leaves 13. And I only learned about this mess last night. The other 13 may have equally serious credibility problems.

Will the others fall as well? Impossible for me to know. If the evidence of any accusation turns out to be solid, I’ll believe it. If not, why should I?

The BBC loves to call Joshua one of Africa’s richest preachers. That’s dishonest. It makes him sound like Kenneth Copeland, a true snake who feeds on the poor and makes them poorer.

Joshua was adored by hundreds of millions of believers. If he had loved money, he could have taught the prosperity gospel, and he would have become a billionaire. He chose not to do this. Why not? He would have to have been stupid not to. Other African preachers get away with it.

Joshua lived in a crummy little house. You can look it up. After he died, people criticized his house because it was so cheap. If all he cared about was money, and his personal fortune was so great, why did he live in a dump on a dirt road?

If he was so wicked, why didn’t anyone credible come forward during 50 years of ministry?

If the BBC deceives people about Joshua and greed, won’t they lie, and encourage others to lie, about everything else?

I am more inclined to believe the new stories about T.D. Jakes. I may as well confront the question of whether I’m being fair. If I am skeptical because the Joshua stories came out so late, why not give the same benefit to Jakes?

Joshua is accused of nonconsensual acts. That’s the difference. If dozens of men have penetrated Jakes’ anus with his consent, they have nothing to be angry about and every reason to keep quiet. We don’t see dozens of men claiming Jakes raped them, years after the fact.

Also, the people exposing Jakes are purported witnesses, not victims. The “victims,” or consensual partners, if they exist, are presumably distraught about the new revelations.

When a black man “on the down low” sodomizes another black man who is eager and willing, it is usually kept quiet. Dozens and dozens of rapes, on the other hand, would ordinarily be exposed in a timely manner.

Maybe Jakes is innocent, but he looks guiltier than Joshua.

The accusers can’t claim they were scared to talk. They weren’t all trapped where Joshua could harm them. They were free to travel later. You can’t tell me a woman in a far-off country was afraid a preacher would send men to beat her up or kill her. It’s not credible.

Another important thing to know is that African preachers are libeled all day, every day. It’s a national pastime. There is tremendous infighting among African Christians. They call each other filthy names and threaten violence. I have seen a huge number of libels directed at Joshua, so new ones would just be par for the course.

I don’t claim anyone involved in the Joshua and Jakes stories is guilty or innocent, and I don’t claim to know whether any accuser or witness is truthful. For now, I insist on seeing some really good evidence before drawing firm conclusions.

The good thing about seeing ministries attacked like this is that it may help some people understand the problem with worshiping men.

I have had Catholic friends. Although perfectly happy to avoid church and sin at will, they had no sense of humor about priests or the popes. They revered them mindlessly, in spite of their obvious and very great shortcomings.

I have had many Protestant friends. Many attached themselves to ministries and followed men as though they were Yeshua himself. They disdained people who followed other men.

Many people treated Joshua like a god, whether or not it was his fault. They thought his ministry was perfect and unassailable. Now Joshua is accused of committing countless rapes and faking miracles, by a huge news organization.

What happens now to people who treated Joshua like Yeshua?

The challenge to their faith is very serious, because they based their faith largely on their opinions of a man. If he raped women, and he seemed so righteous, what else was he wrong about? If he faked miracles, are all miracles fake? If God permits this kind of thing, is he even there? If we are so easily fooled, is there no hope we will ever know the truth and be saved?

People can be driven to atheism and paganism by questions like that, unless they build their faith on the Holy Spirit, not men.

Long before I had any idea who Joshua was, I saw spirits. I received miracles. I had visions. Sorry; take down every preacher on Earth, and I will still know God is real and works miracles. I will still know Yeshua is alive and that he is God, because he visited me twice.

If you’re trapped in the thrall of a man you think is holy, snap out of it. You’re not helping yourself. The big problem with an organization that follows a man as a god is that all Satan has to do is take down the man. He no longer has to work hard to get at all the followers. They fall like dominoes once the man is caught stealing or found in bed with the wrong person. If you worship men, you are setting yourself up for a fall into bitter atheism.

The people at the BBC want to end Christianity. Let’s just admit that and confront it. England is a pagan country, like most European nations. It’s full of atheists, Muslims, wiccans, Yoruba practitioners, astrology slaves, and other types of heathens. Christianity pretty much ended in England in the 19th century.

The BBC wants homosexuality to cover the globe. They see people who believe the Bible as superstitious idiots who…let’s all say it together now…CAUSE ALL THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS. Like they privately say about the Jews.

The BBC has lied to us over and over and over. It has been wrong so many times, no one could count the instances. It promotes leftist falsehoods every day. No reasonable person would consider the BBC trustworthy. They’re dishonest about little things like the weather. You can’t expect them to be truthful about people they hate.

I don’t trust the BBC about anything significant. Not automatically.

I hope the T.B. Joshua story collapses, but if it doesn’t, I will be fine. I will still watch Mark Hemans, unless he gets taken down, too. I will continue praying and blessing and cursing. I will continue speaking in tongues a great deal. I can’t go backward now. God built my house on the rock of revelation, so the rains don’t mean anything to me.

For a long time, I’ve been praying for God to destroy and expose evil ministries, whether they be Christian, Jewish, pagan, or secular. My wife and I pray for it together every day. Maybe the recent news stories show that God is listening to people like us. On the other hand, maybe the hit on Joshua is Satan’s way of putting good people in the path of friendly fire. I don’t know. I can be fooled. It has happened before. Whatever the truth is, I hope God will continue exposing the snakes.

A while back, God told me the truth had gotten lost. These days, it is impossible to determine the truth about anything important. God. Coronavirus. Elections. The climate. You have to have the Holy Spirit at your side, telling you the answers. If not, you are in big trouble already.

See Psalm 32:6.

Why Can’t I Have Nice Dreams Like Nebuchadnezzar?

No Way to Greet an Angel

Night before last, I slept around 10 hours. That was strange. When I was young, I could sleep just about forever, but these days, I usually wake up after 7 hours. I don’t use an alarm clock because they’re hateful.

I dreamed I was in my house, and I looked out through some glass doors and saw a young black man in my yard. He had parked a silver Tesla near my house. I was extremely angry to see someone trespassing.

He was walking toward my right, and he passed out of view. I went to another set of doors so I could see him again, and I gave him the finger with both hands.

I may never understand why I do things in dreams that I wouldn’t do in real life.

He gave me a tired look as though he were used to getting this treatment. As though he dealt with idiots every day. People he couldn’t reason with.

I went out to confront him, and I found a bunch of strangers in my workshop. They were some sort of workers. They had a bunch of diesel-powered machines with them. They had brought them so they could do something or other on my land.

I cursed at them and told them to get out. I didn’t want them around my tools. I thought they would steal things. In the dream, my shop had roll-up doors on two adjoining sides, and these people had opened them. I didn’t want my tools exposed to the weather.

One of the guys I yelled at had a huge head, and his teeth were about the size of Scrabble tiles. He just smiled at me like I was a fool. He didn’t make any effort to leave. He apparently took his orders from someone else.

I looked out over the pasture, and I saw a big spaceship coming down. It was dark grey, with a lot of windows and lights. It was wide but not very tall. It was about as wide as the pasture, so maybe 500 feet, and it was not quite as tall as a two-story house. It had an antenna on it.

The first thing that occurred to me was that I was going to make a lot of money. I felt I had to run out and keep people off my property, because a giant spaceship had chosen my farm to land on, and if people wanted to see it, they were going to have to pay. I didn’t want entitled characters from CNN and Fox jumping my fence and shooting video without permission.

I don’t think this would have been on my mind had an actual spaceship landed. Not right away, anyhow.

I must have run too far, because I found myself in town, on the side farthest from my property. It was as though God had transported me to keep me from causing trouble. I wanted to get back. I started looking for transportation, and I got in a cab.

I told my wife about it, and she thought it was a rapture dream. She thought the people on my land were angels.

Why I would give an angel the finger is a mystery to me. In another recent dream, I called someone a really filthy compound word that began with the letter “C.” Something I have never heard anyone call another person.

That was my dream. Take it as you will.
