Costi couldn’t withstand the Wilson-ite storm and (perhaps worse) the censor of influential men who have long been compromising with Wilson…namely, Josh Buice, who hosted Doug Wilson at the G3 conference like he’s a theological reformed rock star and not the counter-reforming “Catholics are Christians too” heretic pervert that he so demonstrably and undeniably is. He planned to do a podcast exposing Wilson and he got significant pushback that resulted in him removing a podcast in which he mentioned Wilson and a shocking reversal of conviction and sickening public display of smiling unity with Doug Wilson. Pastor Costi Hinn stood up on Twitter and got hated, ridiculed, and called a slanderer for it. Praise God, some faithful men are beginning to openly stand up against Wilson’s false gospel, perversion, and growing corrupting influence. I used to wonder how Joseph Smith got away with his wild twisting of the Gospel and stealing other men’s wives, but over the years the repeated pattern of willful blindness toward men like Mark Driscoll, Mike Reid, and Doug Wilson has helped me understand how heretic perverts get away with it. Where are all the influential Evangelical, Reformed, Protestant, Biblical G3 Conference preacher men with Bibles and backbones at? Why are they either strategically and stubbornly silent or actively defending a Gospel blaspheming pervert? Doug Wilson is an incorrigible heretic and pervert with an army of Wilson-ite defenders ready to call anyone who exposes him a slanderer…in the same shameful way that an army of Driscoll-ites defended the heretic and pervert, Mark Driscoll, before him. 1:18-20 Where Are the Manly Men With Moral Clarity, Gospel Clarity, and the Essential Backbone To Stand by Their Convictions…Alone if Necessary? “This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.” 1 Tim. Where are the manly men with backbones and waists girded up with truth who will stand up against the tide of those protecting Doug Wilson and wage a good warfare against Doug’s blasphemy of Christ and His Gospel? Denying his own sound Biblical counsel…Josh has hypocritically fed and helped Doug Wilson…while refusing to call out and expose him. It’s not easy and it costs you significantly to call out and expose perverted wolves who are well within your own camp and circle (look what happened to Costi Hinn). It’s easy and costs you nothing to call out and expose erring musicians and female TBN preachers outside of your theological camp and ministry. ![]() Unfortunately, Josh is absolutely wrong when it comes to perverted wolves in his own circle of friends and G3 ministry partners. ![]() If you partner with, provide sheep’s clothing to, feed, help, and refuse to call out and expose perverted wolves in sheep’s clothing that walked boldly into our midst with a G3 Conference tag on ( Doug Wilson & Mike Reid) …you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical…you’re not really qualified to exhort men to be manly, or to have backbone, or to demand that men repent for “slandering” your stalwart ministry…you’re actually a compromising hypocrite who should repent publicly. If you aren’t willing to lovingly expose the soul-damning, Satanic evil of Roman Catholicism and call real Catholics to really repent and really believe the real Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. If you’re not actively reforming through the clear declaration and defense of the Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. It’s time for many Reformed and Evangelical pastors, leaders, and professing Christians to get to reforming or to get a new name. ![]() Love for Christ, for His Church, for 1.3 billion perishing Roman Catholics, and for compromised and hypocritical Christian leaders requires #SemperReformanda to be more than a Twitter hashtag, more than a point in a Reformation Day sermon, and more than mere words on a page in a history or theology book. It’s October! It’s time for our Semper Reformanda conviction rubber to meet the road.

Which is why we enchant them, because that results in a lot of damage to mundane items…” “Now then, the basics of kyton ritual magic involves use of a proxy to help visualize the target, and the effects the incantation will have on them. “So, the inevitable happened,” Piggot muttered. The past few weeks had really impressed on me the value of self-awareness as a quality, I had found. Specifically, how there was a lot of speech I could forgive if the scent matched the contents. “Of course,” she continued, affixing me in particular with that glare of hers, “if certain persons were more capable of controlling their anger, that wouldn’t be as much of an error on my part.” Piggot had called in all the Wards this time, presumably because the whole “secrecy” thing wasn’t working. ![]() Thankfully, Carlos had somehow convinced the other Wards to remain silent. I couldn’t smell anything new from Dennis, but I could feel the counter that must have been on his lips. “When it was eminently possible to, say, leave the room and then release stress there, with only telling Carlos instead of every damn person in the room that there was actionable intelligence somewhere.” “And of course, there is also the fact that this happened directly in front of the very reason it was made secret in the first place.” The glare narrowed even further.Ī counter I was sure would be the antithesis of help.Īpparently satisfied nobody was backtalking her, Piggot continued. “Be glad that, despite your repeated presence in my office, and your appearance generally heralding catastrophe, that this is somehow the first time you are completely at fault!”Īnd just like that, she calmed down. So, I am letting you off relatively lightly.” “Thankfully, you also seem to be fully aware of this sheer idiocy of what you did right then and there, and you began some degree of damage control. And indeed, when the tracking bracelet was dredged up from beneath her desk, I just breathed an internal sigh of relief it wasn’t worse. ![]() “-and now she’s the villain, you hypocritical-” That was what finally burst the dam holding back the Wards’ (and Tybalt’s) responses Less chance of being separated in a high-stress situation that way.” Hebert has volunteered to be part of a new initiative involving GPS tracking of the Wards while on missions. Slowly, my teammates settled down, looking more than a bit upset by this turn of events. ![]() I see someone at least comprehends the chain of command.” Dennis and Vista were giving Piggot a glare that, combined was nearly as intense as her own, Carlos, Dean, and Tybalt looked more than a bit disgruntled and unsettled, and even Sophia looked a bit upset by the proceedings (or at least not glorying in karma).

![]() After shows with Avenged Sevenfold on The Nightmare After Christmas Tour, Hollywood Undead released their sophomore album, American Tragedy, in April of 2011, and the album debuted in the Top Five of Billboard's Top 200. In 2010, vocalist Aron "Deuce" Erlichman left the group he was replaced by Daniel "Danny" Murillo, a former contestant on American Idol and lead singer of Lorene Drive. A year later, that label released an album of B-sides, live tracks, and covers titled Desperate Measures. ![]() Swan Songs finally appeared in 2008 on A&M/Octone Records. 5" on MySpace's first compilation album, in addition to giving them the distinction of being the first act signed to the site's new record label (distributed by Interscope) in 2005. As the band's online profile steadily increased, MySpace head honcho Tom Anderson wasn't immune and wound up featuring Hollywood Undead's song "No. "The gang," as the guys liked to refer to themselves, grew to include six members: J-Dog and Tha Producer alongside Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears (formerly called the Server), Funny Man, and Da Kurlzz. They uploaded some new music to their profile and very quickly started amassing song plays and online friends with tracks about drinking, sex, and emo kids. Owing much of their popularity and exposure to the social networking website MySpace, the group started as the musical project of J-Dog and Tha Producer in June 2005. Subsequent outings like Notes from the Underground (2013), Five (2017), the two-volume New Empire (2020), and Hotel Kalifornia, performed just as well, if not better, cementing the group's reputation as one of rapcore's leading lights. With their colorful pseudonyms and unique hockey goal tender-inspired masks, the band debuted in 2008 with Swan Songs, but didn't hit their commercial stride until the release of their 2011 sophomore effort, American Tragedy, which cracked the Top Ten on the Billboard 200 chart. Hollywood Undead hail from the streets of Hollywood, California, mixing brash hip-hop, rock, and minor metalcore touches with cocky posturing. ![]() I saw no harm in it even though I knew she would be mad if she found out but her stuff was so much more beautiful than the things I had bought at goodwill. I started doing this more and more to the point I was going over there almost every night when she went to work. It was about 2 months later when I couldn’t control myself and as she worked the late shift at the casino I went over to her apartment when she went to work and tried on a couple of her dresses and I was in heaven. I couldn’t stop thinking of her clothes and wondered when she was going on vacation again. The whole week she was gone I spent most of my time over there and tried on a lot of her stuff and wished I could have such beautiful clothing. ![]() ![]() Now I know this was wrong but I couldn’t help myself. So while she was gone I went over and watered her plants and I don’t know why but the second time I went over I just had to look in her closet and she had so many beautiful things and as we are about the same size I tried on one of her dresses. About a year ago she was going on vacation and asked me to water her plants and look after her apartment and gave me a key. She works at the Paris hotel casino as a cocktail waitress. Just the kind of girl I would love to date and if I thought she would go out with me I would try to stop dressing but she could have any guy she wanted. She is gorgeous, 22 years old 5’5″ and long blonde hair. I had only been in the apartment about 2 weeks when I met Natasha she lived right across the hall from me. I have been living off of the insurance money, I have a small apartment and dress at home and have never gone out as my clothing are all second hand stuff and really don’t look that great. My parents were killed in a car wreck when I was 18. I actually make a fairly passable girl although my makeup skills suck and my collection of makeup and clothing is small. I just love dressing up with the makeup, hair, dresses and heels and I actually grew my light brown hair out past my shoulder and wear it in a pony tail so when I dress I can use my own hair. I hated it and always wanted to grow bigger that is till I was 17 and discovered girls clothes. I have always been small for a man 5’4″ tall and weigh about 50 Kg, so growing up I was always teased as I look like a little kid.

‘Breaking Bad’ actor Mark Margolis dead at 83 Simone Biles dazzles in her return from a 2-year layoff to dominate the US Classic Thank you for writing a song that America can get behind.” “And I just want them to know that we support them. ![]() And we’re seeing that with the Aldeans right now and the songwriters that worked so hard on this,” she continued. “I think a lot of times people that go out and fight every day on these important issues and have an opinion and remember the freedom and liberty that this country was founded on, get persecuted from it. “And him and Brittany are outspoken about their love for law and order and for their love of this country and I’m just grateful for them.” “I am shocked by what I’m seeing in this country, with people attempting to cancel the song and cancel Jason and his beliefs,” Noem said. Kristi Noem (R) posted a video Wednesday defending the song, saying she “was so impressed with” it when it was first released in May, “because it talked about the value of small towns and how we have our priorities right.” But the desire for it to -that’s what this song is about,” he said this week. “My political views have never been something I’ve hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don’t agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. ![]() He’s also spoken out against vaccine mandates, and last year he was dropped from his public relations firm after transphobic comments from his wife, Brittany Aldean. In 2015, he took heat for wearing blackface while dressed as Lil Wayne for Halloween. This isn’t Aldean’s first brush with controversy. “NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart.” “As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91- where so many lost their lives - and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy,” he said in his statement posted on Twitter, appearing to refer to the school shooting earlier this year in Nashville.

Sheryl Crow arrives at the 65th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting,” Crow said. There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. Even people in small towns are sick of violence. “We respect the 1st Amendment but not thinly veiled threats of violence toward minority groups voicing displeasure with social issues on injustice,” it added.Īnd even Aldean’s fellow musicians threw some barbs his way, with Sheryl Crow tweeting at him that the song “is not American or small town-like. Georgia has no place for hate and racism,” the group said. We look forward to a productive conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion with Mr. Alden and his record label to align with 21st Century and actual Georgian values. “Given Georgia’s history of Civil Rights and recent social unrest due to race-based hatred, we strongly urge Mr. The Georgia NAACP issued a statement noting that Aldean is a Macon native, saying it is “concerned that the small town Mr. Sign up for the latest from The Hill here These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” he said. “In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. In the Aldean video, images of recent demonstrations and destruction are projected on the courthouse, from which hangs a large American flag.Ĭountry Music Television (CMT) confirmed Tuesday that it had pulled the video from rotation, and Aldean took to Twitter to defend himself. The building also played a part in the “Columbia race riot” of 1946. In 1927, 18-year-old Henry Choate was famously lynched at the courthouse, his body hanged off the balcony after he was accused of assaulting a white girl who never identified him. But perhaps what’s raised the most eyebrows is the location where the video was the shot: the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn. ![]() “I spent a year in a refugee camp and somehow I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. ![]() ![]() “My journey started on a boat,” said a tearful Quan, now 51, who was born in Vietnam during the war. Still, presenter Ariana DeBose’s voice cracked as she announced his name at the Dolby Theatre. But on the strength of his role - or make that roles, given EEAAO’s multiversal nature - as the alternately sweet/badass/ debonair Waymond Wang, Quan became virtually the only lock this season. For many, Quan’s appearance in the Daniels-directed, genre-breaking, sci-fi action-comedy - an unlikely awards contender in its own right - was the sudden reintroduction of a child star who had disappeared into pop culture history after a promising debut in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies a year later. Carly Thomas Ke Huy Quan Wins After Decades-Long Absence From ScreensĪ year ago, this sentence would have felt impossible: As predicted, Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar on Sunday night for his supporting actor performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The host went on to poke fun at the fact that Smith was given the opportunity to accept his best actor Oscar for King Richard at last year’s ceremony, despite his win taking place after he slapped presenter Rock. “Five Irish actors are nominated tonight, which means the odds of another fight on stage went way up,” Kimmel quipped. His jokes started during the opening monologue of the Oscars telecast, with Kimmel alluding to the infamous moment while recognizing the Irish performers who were attending.

But Lowe's surface performance is distracting and eliminates much of the suspense necessary to keep this sort of grasping Hitchcock wannabe afloat.īlu-ray extras consist of an interview with Koepp and the trailer. Spader does good work (although his transformation from a repressed square to a drunken criminal is never believable), and even better is Christian Clemenson as his brother, a dope-smoking layabout who rises to the occasion in unexpected ways. ![]() At first, Michael succumbs to his new buddy's seductive charm and tags along on various risky adventures, only realizing after it's too late that Alex might be a psychopath. The story, one of the first penned by David Koepp (who would become Hollywood's go-to guy for blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Spider-Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), is passable: Mild-mannered yuppie Michael (James Spader), dealing with harassment at work and faced with a marriage he doesn't want, meets Alex (Lowe), a free spirit who embraces life and won't back down from any situation (shades of the later Fight Club). ![]() I believed them at the time and still do - of course, if the film were more compelling, there would be no need to even ponder this point. It also forced the makers of Bad Influence to flatly state that the scenes prominently featuring videos in their movie were not later added to the script as an in-joke or to capitalize on the controversy. Although the girl was of legal age in Georgia, the fallout involving both this incident and another recorded tryst - this one a threesome - led to a temporary tarnishing of his image. One of the big scandal-sheet stories of the late 1980s involved the surfacing of a videocassette that showed Rob Lowe's 1988 dalliance with a 16-year-old girl he met during the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta.
