~ Banned ~ By Radio One

Music World Music, founded by Matthew "The Baby Is Yours" Knowles, has been listed in a lawsuit brought by Cathy Hughes of TV One. According to EurWeb:
"Mathew Knowles’ Music World Music is listed in the lawsuit because his company brokered the deal for the Essence Music Festival broadcast with TV One. His company is being accused of re-issuing the content BET, MTV and BET’s Centric Network despite TV One’s four-year exclusivity agreement."
As a result of the action,  the sister company of TV One, Radio One, who owns at least 12 of the larger gospel music radio stations across the country, has pulled ALL Music World Music Artists from their rotation which has been the primary resource for the promotion of Music World Music Artists. Here's a report from a certain anonmyous source:
Matthew Knowles & Kathy Hughes
“All Radio One personnel were told to pull all Music World artists out of rotation immediately and indefinitely! We were told that the mandate came straight from Ms. Hughes and that there would be ramifications for anyone playing or mentioning a Music World artist or song on air,” 
You Betta Have My Money! 

The news is that not only does this show a continued lack of integrity by the chief executive of Music World, Radio One's actions also directly effect both Music World Music's and the artists ability to sell units and ultimately earn an income.  

Airtime is still the number one method by which artists are heard and by which sales are ultimately made, and to be banned from such a large analog and digital internet venue will have an effect potentially of epic proportions on the artists which Music World Music represents.

Christmas 2011 ~ The Lesser god Thesis

Merry Christmas To All As We Celebrate The Miraculous Birth Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ
We Look Forward To A Blessed And Prosperous New Year!

As we examine the birth if Jesus it is more important for the believer to remember who Jesus was as it pertains to his inception and entrance into the world in a physical form. 

As in mid to late Second Century there was a controversy swirling over exactly how Jesus was divine. At the  Council Of Nicea in 325 AD Arianism was condemned as a heresy. Arius (250-336 AD) taught that Jesus was a "lesser god" and was a created being, a personification of wisdom (Prov. 8:22) whom God the father used as an agent to create the world. In other words all creation was through Jesus but he was not necessarily the architect of creation and no matter how far back his existence was pushed, the existence of the Father preceded his. This whole theology has not only led to a whole host of confusions, but also to one that is called the lesser god thesis by some in theological circles.

New Destiny...Same Ole Sins

Bishop Dr. I V Hilliard has announced his resignation from the Board of Bishops that were to help secure the transition of leadership for New Destiny Christian Center, the church which Pastor Zachery Tims pastored. In a video announcement he stated the following among other things:
“Now after being involved for sometime in the process, I have decided to resign my position in this bishop’s council. Now my commitment to integrity will not allow me to support something that I believe is deceptive and that compromises previously agreed upon procedures and protocol.”
He also stated this by twitter:
“Who stands by and watches a theft take place and does not sound the alarm? Only the irresponsible and the uncaring..NDCC members we care...” 
Dr. Hilliard's video announcement can be found HERE.

Now, I ask: Can a devil be trusted to follow any agreement? The obvious answer is no. How did Dr. Hilliard feel that the unrepentant devil of New Destiny Christian Center (NDCC) representative leadership was going to honor any agreements or even desire a reversion to spiritual renewal? Keep reading, my statement will become very clear.

"Speak It In The Atmosphere"

The New Gnostic Thought

In 2007 I featured a post called "The Divination Of Detroit" in which I highlighted the efforts of Juanita Bynum II  (or whomever she is currently named) pointing to her practices during a prayer service at Greater Grace Temple, Detroit Michigan. Juanita was presenting a 3 pronged strategy as a key to receiving your blessing and seeing a "manifestation of the Spirit", "in the earth realm". 

Now, I want you to know that the terminology is suspect to begin with. There is no other "realm" whereby we can perceive a "miracle" from God. So cliches such as this aren't really worth their salt and certainly aren't inspired by the spirit...at least not the Holy Spirit! 

Back to the issues...Juanita's strategy was to :
  1. Praise the Lord intensely
  2. Wait for the anointing to come.
  3. After the anointing "arrives" call out your name in the atmosphere to attract or draw what you need in the spirit.
As I pointed out then and still do now, Juanita's teaching in this regard was a repackaging of PAGAN ideas and teachings on the "Law Of Attraction". Her teaching was froth full of scripturally unsupportable assertions and dangerously ungodly implications.

Is Marriage A Relic Of The Past?


Hebrews 13:4 ~ "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

Nearly 40% of individuals say that marriage is an obsolete part of American life.  A recent PEW Research Center analysis of the US Census reports recently surfaced that claimed that the marriage rate is down within the United States to historic lows. Example:
  • In 1960, among young adults ages 18-29, nearly 60% of them were married. 
  • In 2010, among young  ~ 18-29 only 20% are married. 
  • In 1960 71% of all adults age 18 were married
  • In 2010 51% of all adults age 18 are married
  • The new marriage rate from 2009 to 2010 fell by 5% overall
  • Women on average are waiting to get married until age 26.5, while men are waiting until almost 29 years old to get married.
  • 61% of Black adults were married in 1960, 31% of Black adults are married in 2010
  • 74% of White adults were married in 1960, 55% of White adults are married in 2010
As the very first statement suggests, according to Pew, marriage is becoming a more and more unnecessary part of American life and family. For many, marital commitments don't offer either solid or noticeable benefits to entice them that are single to jump the broom. For many the idea of marriage has simply been relegated to the status of an "arrangement of convenience" with "mutual financial benefits", rather than a lasting and enduring commitment between two individuals.

Jerry Sandusky's Attorney, Joe Amendola


Mr. Amendola explains many things here including that the vilification of someone who is "alleged" to be a criminal is not and American value and that "alleged victims" aren't really victims until the case has been proven in court. Legally, he certainly has a point, but there seems to be something missing...I know this, if you know of abuse can stop or prevent it and you don't do so, that is immoral:

Homosexuality & Moral Harm

Everyone Has Rights!

Let me first say that violating the basic rights of any human being should not be upheld. Every person, qualified for a job should be able to work. Every sick person, should have adequate health care. In most instances, no one should be discriminated against in housing and basic access to the essentials services of life and living. (Just in case you want to know why I say "in most instances" well, that's because I believe that child molesters shouldn't live next to schools and parks where children play etc...I think solid moral arguments can be used to justify those sorts of things)  However, what is in question here, is not simply a matter of rights, it is a matter of normalizing, endorsing and even favoring certain types of "politically acceptable" behaviors that have moral implications.

The problem is this: When certain types of what could be considered immoral behavior are accepted as normal or moral, one must review the basis upon which other forms of behavior are excluded or considered to be immoral.


Politics & Morality

Have you ever herd someone say, "You can't legislate morality"? The fact is that someone's morality is being legislated every day in the courts. What can't be established through the courts and legislative system is objective morality itself. Court and legislative standards are subject to change because they are products of men dealing in specific times and eras.  

The political and legislative arena is the primary venue in which proponents of the homosexual agenda have created a space for the acceptance of homosexual practices. Many of their leaders are deeply politically connected. However, what they know is that political intervention only goes so far. A society must be retrained and re-educated if the desire is to normalize things that have questionable moral implications. Therefore, the rise of the homo-agenda in efforts such as GLSEN's  ALLY Week, and the ominous and deceptive "It Gets Better" campaign, go a step further, catering to the youth and playing on the emotions of individuals seeking to condemn opponents of homosexuality by associating them with bias and discrimination and thus illiciting an overtly emotional response.

Family Re-Engineering
Some years ago, instead of announcing layoffs, many major corporations said that they were going through a  "corporate re-engineering". This was the "new socially sensitive" way to say that they were laying off good employees while at the same time placing a greater burden on the remaining employees who would be retained for the same amount of money. In the meantime the corporations would also keep the savings in salaries and benefits as a result of the layoffs using it to pad the bottom line of the balance sheet. In fact some CEO's were hired with the express mission of cutting the corporate workforce and causing the company to "operate more efficiently". Although some companies benefited as a result, all it really was, was an attempt to increase company stock prices and dividends for its shareholders at the expense and cost of everyone else.

O Canada!


President Barack Obama &
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper
This week President Barack Obama stated this about the Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, and the American relationship with Canada:
"...In Stephen, (Prime Minister Stephen Harper) I've got a trusted partner, and I think he’ll agree that perhaps no two nations match up more closely together, or are woven together more deeply, economically, culturally, than the United States and Canada.

And that deep sense of interconnection, our shared values, our shared interests, infused the work that we have done today -- from supporting a resolution to the eurozone crisis to moving ahead with the transition in Afghanistan, from deepening security cooperation here in the Americas to supporting reform and democratic transitions in the Middle East and North Africa." ~ President Barack Obama South Court Auditorium Washington, DC. 12/7/2011( parenthesis & emphasis added) 
Almost a year ago, we have featured Dr. Charles McVety on our blog in the post "When Canadian Freedom Meets Canadian Censorship". At the time we noted that Dr. McVety was speaking out against the proliferating gay agenda in Canada which seems to be growing at the direction and under the protection of the state and governmental authority. Dr. McVety has been censured by the Canadian broadcasters for speaking against a proposed new school based agenda claiming that there were six genders among humans. Dr. McVety said this:
"We spoke against a new proposed sex education curriculum that would teach gender identity, six genders, and sexual orientation to our children,...And I believe that this curriculum was for the purpose of teaching our children to be homosexuals." ~ Rev. McVety

Political Pandering For The Gay Vote

The United States, under the Obama administration, and the leadership of Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, has taken the notion that it should officially state it's accomplishments in support of the gay agenda and gay advocacy, by releasing a laundry list of things that it has done. 

“Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights, once and for all.”
 Secretary Hillary Clinton, June 2010, Washington, D.C.

Only to name a few, such things include:

At the UN Human Rights Council’s (HRC) June 2011 session, the United States, South Africa, and Latin American and European Union countries led efforts to pass the first-ever UN resolution on the human rights of LGBT persons.

Prophe~lying For Profits. Astrology & False Prophet E. Bernard "Mar Elijah" Jordan

Master Prophet
E. Bernard Mar Elijah  Jordan
"The prophets are Jupitarian. Jupiter is the expanse, but Jupiter also means what else? 'Money'. Thank you...and prosperity, believe the prophets so shall you prosper. God connects the prophets with the star that deals with the most money."..."Gemini(es) are the talkers of the Zodiak" ~ Master Profit E. Bernard Mar Elijah Jordan

The Word Network is airing a "Prophetic Summit" on the program 'Rejoice In The Word ' with Bishop George Bloomer. The center of attention seems to be "Master" Prophet and (I'll add "False Prophet") E. Bernard Mar Elijah Jordan.  (Read where the names come from HERE) There are so many problems and scriptural issues with certain assertions that have been delivered by the panelists, I almost don't know where to begin. There are some good and insightful guests of course, but you know it was a bad show when Pimpoliscious himself served as a co-moderator.

Ahhhhh.....In what I believe was segment 2 of this program Bishop Bloomer asked the panel to address the difference between a prognosticator and a biblical prophet, asking the question does one facilitate the other. For a point of reference, the word prognosticator is defined as follows:

Prognosticator:One who foretells the future from signs or symptoms. 

To be clear, a biblical and Christ centered prophecy HAS NOTHING TO DO with prognostication which includes the reading of horror-scopes (telling or diving times) or reading or defining information from current symbols contained within the natural universe as it pertains to issues of righteousness and holiness.

"Watch This" Pt. 10 ~ Bishop Eddie Long "Takes A Little Time Off"

Jeremiah 33:14-18 ~ "14-Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15-In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16-In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. 17-For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18-Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."
"If you go out there, the news said I stepped down,"...
" I haven't stepped down, I've actually stepped up."...
"I'm still your pastor. You'll still receive my direction,"...
"You've given me some weeks to take care of some family business." 
(Source-The Huffington Post Black Voices)
I'm sorry, my initial report was wrong and one can view the video below the commentary to see why...the bishop has decided to take an extended and undetermined vacation to deal with family issues. He didn't say that he was relinquishing the pulpit or the pastorate and didn't say that he was "stepping down" from being pastor as many are saying including the commentary page that I am referencing. Watch the video and tell me what you think, it's pretty clear to me. The bishop is going on a "potentially" long sabbatical.

Bishop Noel Jones / LisaRaye McCoy...Marriage, Engagement Or Dating?

LisaRaye "Platnium Digger" McCoy
Noel "A Pimps Best Friend" Jones
Hits and searches on Bishop Noel Jones have been off the hook on this site. Rather than spend a lot of time trying to find out (because these people are deceptive & secretive) I'll turn the fact finding over to you. Since YOU want to know, maybe this will help  'cause I can't call it.
Here is Lisa's Response to it all:

This should settle the issue. Let me tell you this though, if Bishop Noel Jones is "like a father to the faith" which was said on another program when Raye was interviewed...why didn't  they ASK HIM instead of asking the woman? Especially since Noel Jones regularly appears on radio...In all of this, I haven't heard the Bishop say a word, but I suppose one is not necessary anyway. 

Blessed!

"Watch This" Pt. 9~ Vanessa Long Divorce Confusion

1 Cor. 14:33 ~ "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."

Elder Vanessa Long
Friday Morning  By Statement
{I have}"decided to terminate my marriage" {after a} "great deal of deliberation and prayer"..."It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly,"..."I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter,"..."I also ask that the public pray for my entire family during this difficult period of transition."

Friday, Early Afternoon By Email:
"Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,"..."I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage."

Update: Friday 12/2/11 NIGHT: 
"Consistent with her original statement made this morning, Mrs. Long continues to hope that this matter may be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously and fairly; however, she has determined that dismissal of her divorce petition is not appropriate at this time.
