I’m unclear, when the prophet calls Trump the son of God, if she means his return to “center stage” with god is Jesus’s second coming, or just a preliminary visit. Presumably the audience knew.

Wonder if he’ll use the demonic satellites to take us out.

Opening prayer: “God, open the eyes of President Trump’s understanding. That he will know how to implement divine understanding.”

Sounds like they’re getting kind of frustrated with his cluelessness about how to use bolts of lightning. Bless their hearts.

example of how sick these characters are. One included a preacher, I think (hard to tell as he was screaming so much) that I tried to copy/paste to DU, but didn't succeed.

This guy worked the crowd into a frenzy of nearly fainting, hands in the air (couldn't tell how many fingers they were using), some on their knees and apparently crying to be taken in the rapture. This crazy guy started "riding a horse" like a little boy galloping with his hobby horse across the stage, which only brought on more frenzy and joy.

I doubt many people on DU can make sense out of what they are deeply into. Our minds work differently.

I'm a believer in "know your enemy" so my curiosity would draw me to their videos just to know what they are up to. They are dangerously "taken"...much worse than Jim Jones' followers. The sad thing is that there isn't time nor knowledge on how to deprogram them, so we are stuck.

Sun Oct 23, 2022, 11:32 AM

They are always popping up around here in rural TN. But the ones that get standing room only are the ones with Trump flags out front.

They are crowded loud and filled with loudspeaker voices praising a god and Trump. I understand from some folks that they make tons of money off the rubes who go watch.

The preaches at those things are dancing and gyrating and screaming. The crowds roar their approval.

I honestly can't phantom the appeal of those revivals..well I understand getting carried away and buying into the emotions of the crowd. I just don't understand going back again and again to be swept in up in such silliness. And to lose more money.

She couldn't wait to rise during the Rapture and was totally taken by the Federalists. She lost most of her friends, her family had her hospitalized for treatment, but nothing worked. She died recently. I suppose you could say she got part of her wishes.

Sun Oct 23, 2022, 11:41 AM
Oct 2022

The "Michelle Obama is a man" meme is powerful among these people.

I live in a very red rural VA county. Couple of years ago my letter to the editor criticizing our local Republican Congressman was published. The next day one of our county's resident lunatics called me and lectured me for 230 minutes -- until I hung up on him -- about the following facts:

1. Michelle Obama is a man. He knows because he read it.
2. President Obama does not take baths or showers in his home or in the White House. His male secretary locates gay bathhouses wherever the Obama are so the Pres can bathe or shower with other "f####ts."
3. The two Obama daughters were adopted from Morocco so the Obama can appear to be normal.

He knows all this because he read it. Somewhere.

These people are beyond nutty. They are tire-biting, chasing-their-own-tails, howling-at-the-moon crazy. And they all vote.
