+++Very, Very Odd...Have you noticed this?+++
This thread might get deleted, but I am going to post it.
If you will look at the list of names on the committees for the World Wide Pentecostal Fellowship at this link, http://www.worldwidepf.com/page.php?ID=6 , you will notice that none of the names on here (and correct me if I am wrong) are African American, Hispanic, or Asian...... WOW. Is this odd or is it just me? All of the preachers on this committee are either still UPC or have recently just dropped their licence. Whats going on? Has anybody else noticed this?

How do you tell african american names from others? How about Johnson or King? You're probably right though...just another good old boys club...sigh

Sorry, I meant to say people not names. King and Johnson are both white.

What's the implication? Racism?

Hello, Martin Luther King Jr. was African American. Sis. Willie Johnson the evangelist was African American. You can't tell peoples race by their names. And in our horrible history of slavery the slaves often had the names of their owners.

I think he meant that he personally knows the ministers on this list named Johnson and King, and knows that they are white - not that the name itself is solely dedicated to one race or another.

I stand corrected. But this is just another way of causing discord in the fellowship of this orginazation. If he knows the ministers on the list why is he coming here asking the question? Why doesn't he ask them? Then he can come here and tell us why, if we care to know.

True...
But if someone is looking (which I aint) there would be no trouble in recognizing what kind of name Osama Hussein Obama. That is about as MUSLIM as you can get.
Personally, I am not ready for a Muslim President...especiallly so soon after 9/11.

Oh boy.....That is NOT just a Muslim name. It's an Arabic name and there are MANY Arabic Christians...Good Grief. Obama is NOT a Muslim you people. Too bad he does not have a good white christian name like Johnson HAHAHAH
Obama went to Christian schools. His father ONLY was a Muslim and that father was OUT of Obamas life MOST of his life. He goes to a Christian church. Listen to the man...you ever hear him say Allahu akbar? Does his wife wear head coverings? He is an American...listen to the man. Good grief. That right there is ignorance which is what Racism is based on....
