Who are Damron and Capon Caroline? and how do we
know the life of Ashley Smith's kidnapper is different?
From what his brother said on TV he was raised in
Church but like many today learned no fear of God and was
living with a girl for years, she is the one he
raped. Ashley's boldness undoubtedly saved her own life as she
spoke to this murderer of
(5) about his own future potential (which will now be physically limited or
possibly
non existant if he lives in
a death penalty state before turning him in for which she received the $70,000
reward).
As for Jay Bakker, I don't see that he
has territory yet (not even the house he lives in) and if his thinking
is as the Rolling Stone
reports he needs his mind renewed in God's Word before being equipped to
minister
to others. When I look at his picture
I see a wounded boy but since the Lord
doesn't break a bruised reed or
quench burning flax there is hope for him - as yet though I can't see
him as some big ministry person with
territory. Maybe you
could explain. jt
Damron said it best when he said, "it's different
but different in a good way." When I look at his picture, I see a brother, a
disciple and one shaped by the Lord for his corner of the world. I pray that
the Lord will protect Jay, that He'll increase his territory and that He'll
bless the ministry and all the people he ministers to. Capon said that our
stories are messy as we live it but it becomes clearer when Jesus retells it.
Here is a clay jar bearing the light of Christ. Lord, let no one break
this jar or extinguish this light!
BTW, what do you think of the Ashley Smith story
of that girl who changed the life of her kidnapper by talking to him and
seeing him as Jesus would see him? Another messy life retold
by Christ.
Love,
Caroline

How very very sad; the boy has no idea; from what
I've read both Bakker children are quite bitter about the way
their parents have been treated. Jim may have
been well meaning wanting Christians to have a nice theme park
and all and apparently
he was charismatic but his gift was not from God and he
allowed the demons to set him up.
He & Tammy were living in 'fantasy land' and
the fall was devastating for a lot of ppl. jt.
Rolling Stone magazine Jay Bakker I
dropped out of high school. I can barely write. I'm white trash. I wear
leather bracelets and tattoos. But God has given me a gift to relate to
people and see the common sense of the Bible.
'A lot of people think that being Christian is about not
having abortions and not being gay,' Bakker tells his young audience, many
of them similarly covered in ink and metal. 'That to me is pathetic and
sad.' http://www.rense.com/general63/quiet.htm

I hope they repented and turned back to
God. Most of them were in leadership positions and they did a lot
of
damage with the choices they made. Have
you seen Jim Bakker's son? But then being emotionally
devastated
and tattooed from head to toe might not be a problem for you. Why do you
believe it judgmental to call
something what it is? Having no fear of
God is to call evil good. jt

It's the
heart attitude that matters to God. No kidding. Why do you need another degree A degree comes with an education attached to
it. That is what I am after. And I
need those letters after my name to be received as a
writer -- not my idea; it is just the way it
is and why from
the Assemblies? There has been as much mess in that group as
any other. Easy to
criticize. All of these were "disciplined" by that
denomination. I am at this time a member of Foursquare,
Intern'l -- The school offers what I need.
And you are no better than the people you put
down.
Remember? Off the top of my head I recall TBN, PTL, The
Bakkers, Swaggart, Branham, Jessica Hahn and if I worked at it many
more. So what.
The Assemblies
official teaching is (unless they have changed) that someone
who says they belong to Christ can not have a demon.
Something I personally
believe, as well. The demons just
love it because this permits them to come and go as they please and
they have a great time at Church with the Assemblies. You are so judgmental -- and
you have no fear of the God you claim to fear.
Were you actually going to say something of substance and just
forgot or what???
