An example of religious zealots and Trump cultist in my Florida Panhandle (Letter to the Editor)



Thank God for the patriotic police officer who rescued Old Glory on the ground in Kearney, Nebraska on Flag Day. Tire and Auto Service owners, out of town, were unaware of the broken pole. (Referring to video of cop fixing a flagpole)

Some Democrats are hell bent on abolishing police departments! What insanity! They should DEFEND, NOT DEFUND them! They put their lives at risk to protect us.

Guilty cops should be punished. Were they abolished, lawlessness would abound, intensify! Some might consider that good, a sign that would hasten the return of Jesus Christ, America’s and the whole world’s only real hope, Hallelujah!

America should genuflect to God in repentance, return to God. He’ll heal our land. He’ll change hearts, (not the anatomical muscle!) God will effect a unified America, defeating the disgusting rampant hatred orchestrated by Satan, god of this world!

God bless us all as only He can. Maranatha

the events of our time. The passage from the Book of Revelation says:

Revelation 13:5, ESV: "And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months."


While not myself a believer in this claptrap, one must marvel that the 42 months referred to in this passage, if Dumpy were indeed the Anti-Christ would be mid July.

Lori Bakker, Jim's wife of 20some yrs, says he spent his 5 yrs in prison studying 24/7 the book of Revelation

They've had many sermons on Revelation by Jim on their broadcasts

Would love to see their faces when confronted with that passage and your comment

There is a history of Marantha ministries (see Wikipedia). I think there's been some scandal in one of their churches

Many churches use Marantha in their name. Google gave me several with that name near, in Tulsa
