    Copeland must have been shocked to turn on Fox News and see that Biden really had won. Shame there isn't any footage of that.

    Did you see the clip of Rudy G doing something similar when he was told that a state had been called for Biden - which meant he'd won? Courts decide elections apparently, not the media. Silly me thought it was voters ...

    This was at the mis-booked meeting at the garden centre near the porn shop rather than the swanky hotel with a similar name. A piece of total incompetence that kind of sums it all up.
  • All those people videod in a room without adequate social distancing, most not wearing masks, and shouting (or whatever the heck that noise is) ... slap the lot with a decent fine for wilful endangerment of the health of others.
  • IIRC, Ken Copeland was the one who roundly and publicly cursed Covid-19 back in March, and made the US of A whole and well again...

    The slimy little git is surely an avatar of Satan.

    I've heard better laughing sounds from horses. But what do you expect from a horse's ass?
  • I disagree with that remark, as the rear end of a horse is far more sensible, and better looking, than Kenneth Copeland.

    He and Paula White are cut from the same cloth. They are both deranged, deluded, unable to see the truth or the reality. They are incredibuly dangerous if given credibility (as Trump has done). He is - as shown by the Covid scam prayer thing he did - false prophets, and so I am sure will accept the biblical judgement for such practices.

    Knowing how important they think following the Bible is and how important it is to cleanse and remove the evil from within, they surely wouldn't fail to follow just because it is them in the wrong? Would they?

    only acid trip, although not for want of trying. I think I blew a budding friendship by pestering the guy for more. He did a good thing blowing me off. He probably saw the fever behind my eyes.

    The trip itself was quite fun. We went to the beach, marveled at the movement of our hands and then finished off at 5am watching devils pretending to be saints.

    Reminded me of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker laugh.

    I don't think the idea of them being wrong would actually compute. They are the true believers and anyone who disagrees with them aren't.

    While I have no idea whether or not their names are in the Book of Life, I'm sure they'll be appalled when they get to heaven and see who they're expected to keep company with.

    Is Paula White the one demanding angels from Latin America and Africa turn up to support Trump?!

  • Someone needs to do a meme, backdating Copeland's preaching style to Jesus.

    "The Pharisees said what? I shouldn't eat with tax collectors? HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW! HAW HAW HAW!"

    Yeah, the laugh is a new one, but he has a whole line of bizarre shit stemming from his understanding of New Thought.
  • DooneDoone Shipmate
    Mm, and let’s not forget he had quite a following, with his ‘prosperity gospel’ teaching, in certain church circles here in the UK not so long ago. He had a big office base close to me in Bath, I assume to ‘hoover’ up all the money he was getting from gullible followers.

    Yes - amongst other madness. She is also unhinged. And heretical.

    Wherever I go in the afterlife, please let it not be near these people. There would be murder, however impossible that might seem.
  • This has pulled me out of lurking mode. My eyes are out on stalks! I could understand if Copeland was a lone eccentric, but from the sound and look of it people actually attend his services. Also you say he is a televangelist, which suggests he has quite a large following... The mind boggles and then boggles some more 0_0

    The US has a lot of religious people, and so there'll always be numbers at the fringe (even if in percentage terms it's a small minority). If you look at the audiences for people like Copeland (and Bakker -- who these days sells ready meals on the promise of an Apocalypse), it's mostly older folk who presumably grew up on him and never left)

    Plus once you have a 24h TV channel you always need plenty of filler.

    The only reason I imagine angels from Latin America and Africa would actually turn up in person for Trump is so they can tell him to do one. Why would angels from places that he's been totally horrible about come and support him?

    They've probably got a Simpsons like heaven arrangement with a big wall so they don't have to mix with riff-raff.

    They've mostly been taken down now, but there are a few older videos in which she's doing what I can only describe as the audio equivalent of blackface.

    Bakker -- who these days sells ready meals on the promise of an Apocalypse

    Does that mean his marketing is "The end is so nigh you haven't got time to cook dinner, so I've done it for you"?

    Surely the promise is that believers will share in the wedding feast of the Lamb, and therefore as we'll have a stonking great feast when we get there we don't need to eat up now. Unless he thinks those who buy into this are going to the other place and need to eat up to fortify themselves against not even being able to have a drop of water to quench their thirst let alone feasting.
  • We shouldn't mock Tammy Faye, she was gorgeous, and she had an air conditioned dog house.
  • We shouldn't mock Tammy Faye, she was gorgeous, and she had an air conditioned dog house.
    We had a Tammy Faye discussion here recently, but I’m afraid I don’t recall which thread. She was also one of the first if not the first—and for a long time only—person of visibility in the American Evangelical community to advocate for unconditional acceptance of and love for gay people. That started for her in the early 80s, with the outbreak of AIDS. She used her platform to give people with AIDS a voice, to assert unequivocally that God loved them exactly as they were, and to call on Christians to do likewise.

    Tammy Faye might have been entertainingly eccentric, and would have been among the first to admit it, but she was very sincere in the belief that God loved everyone unconditionally and that therefore we should too, and that conviction was at the heart of her message. There aren’t many in the televangelist circuit who would have taken being called “the ultimate drag queen” as a compliment, or who would have been regulars at Pride events. But Tammy Faye did and was.

  • Yes, re Tammy Faye. And her mascara was to die for.

    That was my other reason for the angels from elsewhere not turning up ... The desire not to be deported on sight ...
  • Yes, re Tammy Faye. And her mascara was to die for.

    She also had a great self-deprecating sense of humor. I saw her on a daytime soap, and she was doing someone's makeup and her back was to the camera so you didn't know who it was (unless you recognized her voice). She was going on about, "I always think the natural, minimalist look is best in makeup" and so on, and then she turns to face the camera and smiles. Anybody who can make fun of themselves like that is at least partially okay in my book. It wasn't till later I learned about her work in the AIDS community. I think there's probably a star with her name on it in the gold-paved walk of fame in Heaven.

    Is there a rule against shipmates encouraging hosting-while-under-the-influence?
  • Well, not so much a rule...

    All decisions here are made using my usual fount of bile and spite, undimmed by pharmaceutical intervention.
  • Of course, if you encourage hosts to host while under the influence you might get a particularly sharp reprimand or a post edited.

    Now, if you do the same for an admin we have a lot more interesting things we can do.

    I risked my sanity to try and find out what he's doing at this moment, and the latest broadcast is all about Trump actually winning and an encouragement for Christians to protest: https://jimbakkershow.com/watch/?guid=4041

    Of course, the most unlikely outcome will be Biden being inaugurated on the 31st of Jan, but Bakker gets to ride on 4 years of feelings of disenfranchisement.
  • I'm shocked at this backbiting against a man of God. Why, this is a man whose faith is so strong that God blessed him with a HARVEST SEED of a Gulfstream private jet. God even picked out the seller for him.

    You lot would be lucky to get a microlight or a hang-glider at this rate.
  • la vie en rougela vie en rouge Circus Host, 8th Day Host
    I'm not going to go hunting for the clip, but in relation to his private jet, Kenneth Copeland once claimed that he didn't think Jesus would be travelling by donkey these days.

    As Ronnie Chieng pointed out, the gap between a donkey and a private jet is "the whole of transportation".
  • Jesus is no longer humble? Or Lear Jets are now humble means of transportation?
  • mousethief wrote: »

    Well, I would assume the idea is that Jesus' ministry would today be global in its immediate reach, so it would make more sense for him to be traveling long distsnces.

    Still doesn't explain why Copeland can't just buy a plane ticket. (Plus, I think Paul would have been a better example to use for that particular argument, but that's a side issue.)
