"Congregational Conspiracy, They Did It To Jesus"

After some of those "Full Frontal Holy Hugs" you begin to realize that there is no difference in the congregational members or the pulpit partners that perpetrate to have your best interests at heart by deceptively holding the audience hostage simply because the microphone is the conduit to their voice over the speakers as opposed to a DJ in the club holding the audience hostage simply because there is a tight beat thumping through "like" speakers.
 
It never ceases to amaze me that the locale matters not when misery is seeking matrimonial companionship. Not just the regular "Company" but the official "Married to Misery" type of company.
 
I respect the people in the club and the DJ entertaining them. They go and do their thing and do not hide behind a title, an image, perception or a hyped up facade. They dance until their hearts are content. They have fun amongst "like" people and they do it on a regular basis. They are true to what they think they are doing.
 
On the other hand, "some" congregational members and pulpit partners will have you BELIEVE that they are on your side and fighting the good fight WITH you.  That is until they realize that your "dance moves" (pun intended) are a little bit better than theirs.
 
Once upon a time, minding my own and being my own person had zero relevance.  That is until I garnered the attention of the ones that were trying to garner MY attention.  In other words, when they heard "no" and assumed another was told "yes," they began their march down the aisle, straight to the altar, to recite their nuptials with "Misery."
 
The Church has been going through quite a bit for quite a while, but since the rumors, speculation and innuendo were not at the shepherd's front door, the sense of urgency was not realized and nothing of it ever materialized.  And now, the door has been answered, questions and accusations have run amuck and the deflection, um, attempt at correction is the talk of the town.  But where were you when the initial deception was going down?
 
I am of the Faithful fact that my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ fights my every battle for me even though HE has equipped me with not only the wherewithal to fight back, but the sense of timing in which to do so.  My Mother used to say, "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie."  But there will always be those that think that they can outrun the leash that is around the dog's neck.  That is, until they realize that the dog no longer has a leash around its neck.  My Mother was right indeed.  You should always "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie."
 
When they have nothing to talk about, they will continue to talk about you.  They did it to Jesus!
 
When they have it set in their minds that they will do whatever to persecute you, they will surely ATTEMPT.  They did it to Jesus!
 
When they spit in the wind at a child of GOD, they have successfully failed to realize that their saliva rainfall is compliments of themselves.  But hey, they did it to Jesus!

And if my REDEEMER withstood it all and took their absolute best, mediocre AT best, then so shall I.  Afterall, they did it to Jesus!
 
Cut your own grass before you call the County on the length of mine!
Clean up your own house before you call Health and Human Services on the cleanliness of mine!
Re-raise your own kids instead of vicariously chastising the children of the Church!
Stay in tune and in touch with what is really happening in the Church community before you yield your big stick in someone else's community!
Further investigate the staff that is employed by the people of the Church because Momma used to say, "Everything that glitters, ain't gold."  Yet the attempt to package it as such is fooling no one.  Perhaps that fake artifact was "Blocked" because it was revealed?
 
No one likes to be put on blast.  That is unless they forgot to wear their hardhats to withstand the cloud of BS that is not falling from the entire sky, JUST the cloud of suspicion that seems to shadow their every move.  The Blessing is in the revelation of the truth and since integrity is the name of the game, I extend an open invitation at playing cards face up. 
 
Now, would all first time visitors please stand up?  In the REAL house of the LORD, REAL soldiers for the LORD would like to extend to you a token of appreciation in addition to the opportunity to come again.  We shall not embarrass you with buffoonery, but embrace you with the same type of Love that the LORD so expects FROM US, through the demonstration of HIS Love TO US.
 
Let the REAL Church and the opponents of misery, say AMEN!
 
Love and My Mother are My Inspiration!
Love and My Mother are My Motivation!
Love and My Mother are My Celebration!
Love and My Mother are My Dedication!

All the Best, All the Time!
