Joel Osteen’s reputation was submerged in the wreckage left behind by Hurricane Harvey — and at least one pastor says the televangelist got what he deserved.

John Pavlovitz, head of North Raleigh Community Church in North Carolina, said the “prosperity gospel” minister had discredited his faith by tweeting out banal platitudes as locals mosques and furniture stores offered shelter from the hurricane that flooded Houston.   Continue reading “Fellow Pastor Unleashes Holy Hell on Joel Osteen for His Disgraceful Response to Hurricane Harvey”

In case anyone wants to dive deep, this is on the yearly Burning Man festival, out in the Nevada desert on gov land.  Ha!!  It also covers other deceitful and destructive agendas that look like love and freedom but lead to debauchery and compliance.  One of the broadcasters calls Burning Man “The greatest psy-op of all time.”   Makes me wonder how to protect the young ones from this highly-crafted and near irresistible lure.  I’m only half-way through but there’s powerful dot-connecting.  It’s 5 hours, and so far, for me, riveting:

A film adaptation of William Golding’s 1954 novel Lord of the Flies is in the works but with a major twist that’s drawing ire across social media: all of the boys stranded on the island without their parents will be girls.

According to Deadline, the male US film-making team of Scott McGehee and David Siegel (What Maisie Knew) signed a deal with Warner Brothers for a remake of the iconic postwar novel – the third English-language adaptation of the book, which was most famously brought to the screen in the 1963 classic by Peter Brook.   Continue reading “‘Someone missed the point’: Lord of the Flies ‘all girls’ remake spawns social media backlash”

The Southern Poverty Law Center has declared three of America’s largest Army bases Confederate monuments “with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed” if activists don’t “take down” the Army bases.

The SPLC included Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Benning in Georgia on a list of 1,500 “Confederate monuments” that the SPLC claims could inspire more violence like what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. All three bases are named after Confederate military leaders.   Continue reading “SPLC Says Army Bases Are Confederate Monuments That Need To Come Down”

Imagine, if you will, a war in the near future. A war not fought between East and West. Not fought between nations, nor creeds nor races. A war fought brother to brother and sister to sister, father to son and mother to daughter.

AUBURN, Alabama, August 29, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Students and parents at Auburn High School are asking for the removal of a gay pride flag hung in one of the classrooms by a teacher, ironically applying the argument used to take down Confederate battle flags and statues of Civil War figures from government buildings, college campuses and other public venues.

The pride flag in the teacher’s classroom “creates a hostile and provocative learning environment for students not comfortable to openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community in a public school where students come from diverse political and religious backgrounds,” according to a Change.org petition filed by Andrew Monk of Auburn.   Continue reading “High school students petition for removal of teacher’s LGBT pride flag”
