Goodness.


Mr. Arnold was removed from my radar years ago when he made a point and followed it up by saying, "What's wrong with ya, ya gotta tumor in ya head?" and actually appeared to be proud of himself.

I stopped the tape, which someone had sent to me to help get me "back in the truth", threw it in a box just in case I ever needed yet another piece of proof why I would never look back, and that was that.

Re: Bott 2011

Few more quotes from Arnold:

I'll choose faithfulness & dedication & integrity any day over the Hollywood bimbos we hire that can play better and sing better that can only perform and not really worship. -JArnold


I wish some of you cats would dig out your real testimony and not your church testimony. -JArnold


And this puts one previously posted more into context:

Being the last preacher up people expect me to hit it out of the park when I get up to preach. Well, sometimes you can win the game with a bunt. Sometimes if the bases are loaded and the batter gets hit in the head with the ball. -JArnold

I guess its considered "holy" to joke about smoking dope? I forgot, it only matters how you dress and that you don't miss church, not how you talk, how you think , or what you do, silly me.

Re: Bott 2011

When JA was a young man the crude schtick was amusing. The crude language and slang just seems bizarre coming from a 60ish grown man many decades removed from his "rough" upbringing.

I did enjoy the magic tricks in the 70's though. He was quite good.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Slang is slang and everyone at some point uses some amount of it. I'm not crazy about his style but if that's what floats a few people's boats....whatever. But it's the attitude behind the slang and crudeness that I can't stand. Inferencing that your audience is stupid, in a spiritual setting, is just appalling, and he does it repeatedly. I can't stand it.
