Sat, 18 Sep 2010 03:41:13 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2010/09/01/open-thread-37/#comment-1240555 I found this blog tonight searching for information on the convention. May I say that this thread is sad. Am not sure why people are being so obvious in their attempts to defame innocent people, but it is not christian-like. Pastor James, I have no idea who you are, but you sir are no pastor. What is wrong with you people, and why so consumed with tearing these people down? What in the world have they ever done to you? You are pitiful, that's all, pitiful. In my experience, the only reason people stoop to such lows is because they themselves have hit bottom. I pray that you will find the God the people at the convention are singing about, and try to find the good in the groups there, not the sins you so like to speak about, or pick out. This is simply awful, and really, you guys should take a look at what you are doing. I think you've lost perspective. I found this blog tonight searching for information on the convention.

I really don't believe you are a pastor- if so, you need to read what you preach about. Or maybe that's your trouble... “Pastor” James,

Nice try, hater, but your fake pose as a pastor is a scream! You too, "Denise". Do you really think we are all that stoopid? Looks like to me that God's the one who opened the door for them to be there- he is God, you know. Please keep up the posts. Bad press can actually be good, and with this kind of stoopid, the laughs are worth it. Thanks and keep it comin'! Brother Pastor Apostle Evangelist James,

If these singers are called of God ministers they would not want any of you waging a war on their behalf. If they knew their appearance was causing hurt and seperation I'm sure they would have gracefully bowed out. More than likely the Mcguires have no idea that some people would not like them to be at the showcase. Lets not treat gospel music like secular music and worship the artists. We must not become idol worship centered. It's only one appearance and when it is over it will be over and no dead bodies will be found.

If you are feuding with another person or making a threat to them wouldn't it be easier to contact them directly? Sounds like you have created a synthesis on the issue. This feels very strange to me.

Neither is right but I'm sure many will do it. Charlie G. I love how you dress down someone for rumors and bring up another one. Only in SG. You kinda had 4 fingers pointing back LMAO I’m sure there a lot of them out there. Going to a gay church or pastoring one. Neither is right but I’m sure many will do it.

I just saw one where photos came out where somebody's manager was at a gay church! It seems like everybodys got something in their closet these days, I'm sure more than most are willing to admit. Maybe we all need to focus on our own lives before the finger starts pointing back at us. Too much talking has a weird way of backfiring on you. Besides, we all need to be enjoying the music, not the garbage. You know, if you chase every rumor you hear, everybody has one.
