Maybe this is God's plan playing out ?
God might send a plague.

(12,504 posts)I like Rather, but I was a huge Cronkite fan and hated to see him go. Rather pushed CBS to force the mandatory retirement age of 65 on him, so he could take over the anchor chair.

(12,858 posts)In 90s when I 1st heard of Hinn, I was stunned at how many showed up at Maybee Center. There were people in line 5 plus hrs before the meeting started. Glenn Beck also has had gigantic crowds there.
There's the large parking area for the nearby Walmart Center,The parking lots around the Maybe Center are gigantic. There are large grass areas. And then there are the nearby parking lots for ORU's dorms. Parking lots for Victory school are across the street and also large.
A possible advantage over BOK blding is that the center is at the opposite end of town from the historically black part of Tulsa. But it's at the same end of town as 71 and Memorial with the large Woodland Hills Mall and many box stores, where there's been large protests.

(22,252 posts)The plagues of Egypt are: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the killing of firstborn children
Can the murder hornets count as the flies? If we have a red tide somewhere does that count as water turning to blood? In Texas there is always hail.
THis could be fun
solara
(3,836 posts)And yeah.. the murder hornets could definitely count as flies.. you gotta figure Revelations was written a few thousand years ago, flies have changed a bit since then. the hail has to catch on fire though for that to count I think

Yes, SM all over THAT.
I didn't know at the time about Philadelphia, Mississippi itself, and wasn't paying attention to Reagan, but knew about those three voting rights volunteers and others of course.

(9,988 posts)I agree that this choice has Millers hateful fingerprints all over it. Its his, and Trumps, way of saying Remember what happens to black people when white people decide to stomp all over you. I wish the citizens of Tulsa would rise up and reject having Trump appear anywhere near their city.

Oh, wait!
I said "Trump", didn't I?
Never mind.
