Same as the folks that tell you that God told them something about you -- I've always felt that if God wants me to know something that he'll probably speak to me first!!!

you mean talk to christian Garrett ?

Of course not everyone liked Christian. He was too in your face and mean for a lot of folks. But he was a good preacher. He really regrets that meaness now, ironically

Do not tell me that you always knew something was wrong or he wasn't quite right...that is such a slap in the face. He was sooo sucessful and brilliant and capable. He preached for BIG guys and older wise Preachers from Bro. Larson to Joel Holmes and praying men and women. So don't act as though you knew and if you did and didn't share it to spare years of heartache..well, what does that say about your compassion? Sorry to you kind folks just a little venting

who are you referring this to specifically ?

BCB- I appreciate your attitude and compassion in this situation. It would be very easy for you to be very angry at CG for the hurt he inflicted on your daughter and grandchildren. Please be sure your daughter and grandchildren have a strong support system and get counseling if problems spring up. I had a friend who went thought this same situation and she had a very hard time dealing with it.

Don't worry. You're quite alright. But I still don't see anything wrong if a couple chose to pray before they consumate their marriage.

I guess that stems from the fact that I am in a second marriage and the difference in them.

Sooo many have let us know that they just knew something. Well, like I said, not everyone liked him and he was the messiest person I have ever known and could be hateful and narcissistic beyond words and on and on. But there is no denying he was productive. He came from the baptist/AG world. He had no connections and yet preached for some of the best. He has singlehandedly destroyed his life. I think of the scripture that says.. On the morrow they stripped the slain...referring to the sons of the king strewn on the battlefield. I hate debates but he was the best I ever heard at it. I should know we debated plenty. People had plenty to dislike about him, no doubt, such as his constant pratical jokes and decorated cars at weddings. But the fact that he was gay all along???? I guess I'm just tired of overbearing folks who try to pretend they knew something was wrong. Sorry is that too strong?
