'My Dear, dear Genora, This is God...yes, Genora, God, you Know, the Big Cheese, the Gate Keeper. I know you have never actually Heard from me Personally, although you may 'think' you have, and it's Not like I've been Ignoring you for the last Century, I've just been a 'little' busy what with the boogyman running rampant and all, He is Such a Pest, but I find it high time that I call on you with an utmost important and personal matter. Genora, you're Fired! Yep, you heard... me correctly so don't look soooo surprised, and don't Even try and Whine...it's simple, you're Fired. Man, I feel like Donald Trump! It's My church, My pews, and you're outta here. Now I Know you are "shocked" but just be happy that you weren't actually 'shocked', as in a 'bolt outta the blue', which I Do now and then when I need to Really get someone's attention. It's not My fault that your church hired a preacher that no one likes, and that likes no one in return. It's kinda 'funny' though, all of you seem to agree that there's only One 'God', yet you all seem to 'worship' a 'different' one claiming that Yours is the Only and Best one, and that everybody else's is the worst one. Annnnd you all are Sooo ready to 'crucify', pardon the pun there, each other in the process. Just check out those radical Muslims for instance. Geeez! Go figure. But I gotta stand behind my emissaries, my mouth pieces of the moment, I don't discriminate, and if he say's you gotta Go, then don't ask Where, just Go. Oh, and take that Kevin Hamm with you, it looks like he's on the 'outta here' list too. Anyway, maybe you could, if you have 'time' that is, start your Own little church, and then when you discover someone that worships a 'different', yet 'same' god than You do, you could just kick his butt right outta there. Just send me a 'heaven Txt' and I'll give'em a little 'Red Phone' jingle just like This one I'm giving you. Bye now, Love Ya! JC ;) ;)
Georgia Church Comes Under Fire After Banning 103-Year-Old Woman From Premises
Georgia Church Comes Under Fire After Banning 103-Year-Old Woman From Premises
A 103-year-old Georgia woman says she has been banned from the church where she has been a member since she was 11 years old.
"I was shocked,” Genora Hamm Biggs, of Elberton, told WHNS News recently.
Biggs said she received notification in the mail via a certified letter from members of the Union Grove Baptist Church in Elberton, Georgia.
The letter, as published by WHNS, reads:
But Biggs showed up at church the next Sunday, according to the paper, and she claims someone in the church called the police. The responding officer reportedly called the incident a civil matter and took no action.
Biggs told the Banner-Herald that the problem comes down to doctrinal differences. The church has been a Baptist church throughout its history, but Mattox is a holiness preacher, according to Biggs.
“He is a holy sanctified minister or so he says,” Biggs said. “We voted him in and we didn’t know it until he was there. We are Baptists and that’s what we want to stay.”
Mattox reportedly did not respond to requests for comment from either WHNS or the Banner-Herald.
But Jackson, the church’s deacon and one of those who signed the letter, did speak to the paper and said none of the letter’s signers would be commenting on Biggs’ removal.
“The church decided not to comment because it’s all a bunch of foolishness,” he said.
But others seem to feel the longtime member is being mistreated.
Kevin Hamm, an ordained minister who was also reportedly banned from the church told the Banner-Herald he was upset when he received his letter but was even more upset to learn that Biggs had been banned.
“To disrespect a pillar and a mother of the church; how can we sit back and watch something like this go forward?” he said.
