Preachers of LA: Mind Your Business

Yesterday evening was the Season 2 premiere of Preachers of L.A. According to previews, Season 2 is going to be a lot more real. While ministering, there will be real moments. Last night's episode started off with a bang. Anyone who has followed the show since it's inception knows that Bishop Noel Jones and Loretta have been the topic of discussion. Bishop Jones and Loretta have been friends for 16 years, and supposedly they're carrying on like a married couple. Ron Gibson feels they should get married since they act like a married couple. Here's the catch: Bishop Jones has told Loretta that he has no intention of getting married, but she's looking for more. From what I've watched of Loretta on the show, she's a stand-up woman. She has her own bistro that Noel helped get off the ground, and they've been close since then. Their relationship has grown, so I think they should get married, but that's not my call.

Bishop Ron Gibson is my favorite preacher on the show, and he stays true to who he is. He's taken no shorts in his opposition towards Bishop Jones and Loretta's relationship. My question is: Why is Bishop Gibson so concerned about Loretta and Noel's relationship? While I feel Bishop Jones & Loretta should get married, what if they're not ready? Bishop Jones has been married before, and that ended in divorce so he doesn't want to make that same mistake again, which I can understand. Loretta has a decision to make: She can be content with her friendship with Noel, or she can give him an ultimatum: Marry me, or I'm gone. If a woman has shown herself worthy of a good man, and he's stalling, sometimes she has to make him commit. I think the reason why Noel and Loretta's relationship has drawn criticism from Bishop Gibson is that he thinks they're sinning by how they carry on like a married couple, even though they're not married.

I never thought I'd see Loretta go in, but even the most chill people have their limits. Nobody likes their business put on blast, and Loretta proved that last night. When Lady Lavette (Bishop Gibson's wife) called out Loretta, Loretta checked her. Loretta was like "It's none of anyone's business how Bishop Jones and I conduct ourselves. We're content with our relationship as is." She had had enough of Bishop Gibson and Lavette's meddling, and she shut it down. Next week's episode, she sets Bishop Gibson straight. I won't miss that for nothing.

 



Power In Sex

Whenever I hear of a man getting caught up in mess, the first statement he makes is "There's Power In The *&%$#" That's a cop-out because you're putting power behind a sexual organ. You're telling me that a woman's sexual organ has that much control over you? Shaking My Head. This may not be true of all men, but for some it is: Men who say there's power in the ***** have nothing going for themselves. Their main focus is chasing what's between a woman's legs, and once he gets it, he feels like he conquered the world. To me, chasing tail is the last thing on my mind. I've never valued women that much to where I put myself in crazy situations, then blame it on a sex organ. The only power in something is what you give it, otherwise that ***** that so many men spend their lives chasing, is meaningless. Women know they have what many men want, so they play on that. Only a weak man is succumbed to a woman's sexual organ.

Men who have their stuff together aren't worried about getting any sex. Why would they? They're focused on staying at the top of their game. If they meet Ms.Right, good. If not, that's fine. For a thorough man, he looks at a woman's character instead of what's between her legs. Should a woman use her vagina to hook a man, he immediately checks her because he's not moved by this so-called power in the @#$%&. These men need to ask her what does her heart do, instead of what her mouth does. I have no sympathy for any man who is exploited by a woman. The only reason why men are set up by women is because a lot of men don't have the good sense to look past a woman's sex game. All they're thinking about is how good in bed she is, instead of looking deeper. In conclusion, there is power in the ***** to a thirsty guy. Women know how to use their sex game to their advantage, and unfortunately, many men fall for it every time.

The Irony

 

It's funny how blacks have camraderie during the Ferguson situation, but that same togetherness is nowhere to be found when blacks exterminate each other daily. Where are these marches for the thousands of murdered blacks annually? I'll tell you where: Nowhere. Blacks pick and choose what to be outraged about. Take George Zimmerman: Blacks were raising all manner of hell when Zimmerman shot down Trayvon Martin (RIP to Trayvon by the way), but went back to business as usual. What are you looking at? Don't make me blast you, etc. Some blacks need to have several seats because all they're doing is embarrassing themselves. You can march for Michael Brown, but can't march for the thousands of slain blacks at the hands of other black people. It's said that a black's biggest enemy is someone who looks like him. It's not so much white folks taking blacks out, blacks are killing their own prolifically. The hypocrisy is clearly evident because once this Michael Brown situation blows over, those same blacks will go back to killing each other in the streets. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey and all the fallen black leaders are turning over in their graves; not because blacks are livid over Michael Brown's death, but because they don't have that same outrage when a black murders another black. In conclusion, until blacks can be just as outraged over black on black murders, I don't want to hear or see any blacks marching over the death of an unarmed black person at the hands of a white police officer, or someone of any other race.

Fresh On The First Day Of School

It's the 2014-15 school year, which means another year of hustle & bustle. Traffic jams, school administrators rushing to make sure they have things in order so they can start another school year right. As for the students, they reunite with their friends and talk about what they did over the summer. At the same time, a lot of schools have incoming 6-12th graders read over the summer, and then write a report on what they've read. Once they're done, they turn it in for their first grade of the school year. I don't know if this is done nationwide, but I know it's done in the State Of Florida. The premise is to keep students in the academic state of mind, which I understand. Once students get out for the summer, they tend to forget what they've learned over the school year, so you have to keep them focused. It's also a time for students to show off their new school clothes. The truth is, schools have become a fashion show for students. One student has to look better than the next, and so on.

Why do I say that school is a fashion show? It's simple. One student has the newest J's and clothes, and has to wear them on the first day to impress students that probably won't like them. That's crazy, but when you're a teenager, you're trying to fit in with your peers so in a way, I understand. Peer acceptance is everything among teens, so if that means wearing the in-style, so be it. Usually, students who are focused on their wardrobe aren't focused on their grades, and it usually shows later on in the year. While they're dressing to impress, their grades are on life support. At the end of the school year, when they're facing retention, they want to bellyache about how they can make up their work. I have no sympathy for these students because from Day 1, they should've came in ready to work. It's too late to make up a year's worth of work, so it's important that parents instill in their children that they're in school to learn, not dress to impress. Those other students (s)he is trying to impress, they're not worried about them. They probably are serious about their academics. You can dress to impress when you graduate college and get in the work world.

Encouraging Word

I felt led to post this. It's said that everyone is fighting a battle. Everyone will go through some hard times at some point. Life isn't easy. Just something to think about. Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? Did you know the three hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and Help me? Sometimes, just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile and see how much pain they may be in.

Women Are The Choosers

I've always felt that in relationships, women are the choosers. A man can have his stuff together, and present himself in the best possible light, but it's up to the woman whether she will proceed with getting to know him. Here is a message from a poster that I'm in a Facebook group with:

 

Maurice Theoutlaw Washington

Women are the choosers...if this were not true then men would be able to choose who they want to be with (first dibbs on Halle). If you are a man, and think you can have any woman you want, go and try...either you are a scumbag because you should have chosen a great wife a long time ago...or you are not the chooser.

All a man can do is make a presentation to a woman and hope that she grants him access.

Men approach women on a daily basis, and the woman makes a CHOICE on if she will entertain the man or not. Men may CHOOSE to PURSUE the woman, but the CHOICE is ULTIMATELY UP TO THE WOMEN.

MEN CANNOT HAVE SEX WITH A WOMAN UNLESS SHE CHOOSES TO. OR IT IS RAPE

There are times when men may have a choice between several women (usually bottom feeders & fatty-patties). THE WOMEN HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN HIM...even if he decides to court one of them. It's still up to the woman on if she will grant him intercourse.

Sorry to the men who thought they were macks; she made the decision on whether or not she was going to deal with you a long time ago...all you had to do is not mess it up.

To the ladies who CHOOSE to NOT accept this responsibility, it is highly visible that the quality of your life is due to your inability to understand this fundamental concept or common sense. Every time you complain about a no good man, sperm donor, or a lying cheating man...remember you were attracted to them, you were sold by their presentation, and chose to sleep with them unprotected.
It is a reflection of your character; whether you CHOOSE to accept responsibility or not... THIS is the responsibility and POWER you hold in our culture. The ability to choose great men to support, and build strong families that lead to productive communities.

Instead you CHOOSE procreate with the worst of us, thus destroying our culture and set in motion a spiraling decline in cyclical ignorance.



Strawberry Letter- Can He Be Faithful After Ten Years Of Cheating? | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

Strawberry Letter- Can He Be Faithful After Ten Years Of Cheating? | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

 

Let me get this straight: He's been cheating on her for 10 years, and she's confused about whether she should fight for her family? Common sense should tell her her man had no respect for her when he cheated the first time. He's been messing around on her for 10 years. After the first offense, he should've been out the door. Who cares if they have children together? It's far better for children to be raised in a stable, single parent home than be raised around infidelity. I feel for the children because they may have a negative view of relationships because of one parent's infidelity. If you're not happy in a relationship, either leave or try to work it out. I'd try to work it out only if she's willing. If not, then I'm gone because I will not fight if she's not willing to get in the ring with me. She knows what to do, she's just trying to play dumb. This letter is another reminder that most people do not respect their relationship, and that you really don't know your mate like you think.

She can't be THAT naive about her man's infidelity. She must have (or should've) known about her man's indiscretions. She probably knows, but refuses to believe that her man could cheat on her. Some women hang on their man's every word, and they should if he's thorough. Anytime a person cheats on their (wo)man, respect has left the building. (S)he may forgive, but she won't forget. There's no way he respects her, because if he did, he wouldn't be messing with another woman. I feel sorry for her, because she really has low self-esteem to even want to stay with his cheating butt. A thorough woman would've left him on the spot. I know they've been through the ringer, but how much cheating can one person expect to take? Seriously. Cheating happens once, (s)he forgives. Few months later, (s)he cheats again, and the hurt person forgives. The answer is obvious: She should leave this clown, and not look back. Forget about all the good times, just go. The good times left when he was cheating for 10 years.
