Jennifer Louise Lopez Asks Anti-Gay Harlem Church To Stone Her
When Jennifer Louise Lopez first saw the horrific anti-gay sign go up on The ATLAH Worldwide Missionary Church in her neighborhood in Harlem, she knew she had to take action.
Run by Dr. James David Manning, a man who has been outspokenly critical of the Obama administration and the progression of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights over the course of the past six years, the church made headlines in late February when religious leaders posted a polarizing sign that read "Obama has released the homo demons on the black man. Look out black woman. A white homo may take your man."
The church then later replaced the sign with one that read "Jesus would stone homos," along with "Stoning is still the law" and Bible verses Matthew 5:17-19, Deuteronomy 17:5-7, Leviticus 20:13 and John 8:1-11.
In response, Lopez knocked on the church's front door this week and informed the man who answered that she was there for her stoning. "I saw your sign and I'm here for my stoning, I'm a lesbian," Lopez informs the man in the video below, which Lopez posted on her Facebook.

(60,536 posts)the ex-con who claimed to have had two sexual encounters with Senator Obama while visiting Chicago. Sinclair's story went nowhere, though he tried to get it to go somewhere, he even wrote a book about it. Manning's fairly obsessed with teh gay

(20,043 posts)videos. Disgusting. The things he says and then turns around and calls himself a 'man of God'
He called Prez. Obama's mom, white trash and the 'w' word. Among other things.
He's beyond foul. He should go to hell and sit right next to Phelps.

(60,536 posts)those of us that worked on exposing Sinclair speculated that Manning is obsessed with "teh gay" because of some of the things Manning did while in prison. As far as we could find out, Manning and Sinclair didn't serve time in the same prison but, that doesn't mean Manning didn't have his way with men while in prison or, that someone didn't have their way with him.

(60,536 posts)there is a mental illness there. He prides himself on being openly gay AND allegedly having sex with Obama. Sinclair failed a lie detector test but, pushed on. He's been in prison; he's smuggled drugs into the country, as well as people. He's cheated people out of money...he's a con man and he ran the "I had sex with Barack" as a con. He thought he was gonna be the Paula Jones of '08 and destroy Obama.
He held a press conference at the National Press Club in D.C. (Rev. Manning was there in support of Sinclair) where he laid out all his allegations. The big news from the press conference however, was the fact he was immediately arrested after it, on a warrant from Delaware. The other news was Sinclair's lawyer wore a kilt to the PC, someone from the media asked him "why the kilt?" The lawyer responded; "when you are as greatly endowed as I am, you find trousers confining..." I kid you NOT, the lawyer said that. If you want me to dig out the links, I will.

(5,957 posts)The sign was certainly outrageous, but that is the extent of it. In some parts of the world, they really do things like that. We have a lot of freedoms in this country. They allow people to be openly gay and they also allow people to say outrageous things. You take the good with the bad.

Maybe that's what it will take before mainstream Christians start to take these assholes to task as heretics who are so against what Jesus preached and did in practice.
Crazy reverend can kiss my ass.

Kudos to Lopez for doing this.

IMO, they are incitements to violence.

(6,486 posts)As I recall from the gospel of John, the only time that Jesus was confronted with the opportunity to join in a stoning for sexual reasons, he declined AND shamed the others into not doing it.
Oh, wait. Maybe I'm wrong--they just worship a different Jesus, Jesus de Torquemada.

(5,158 posts)Did they forget the story of the Pharisees who were about to stone the woman caught in adultery, and Jesus pretty much told the Pharisees to get lost, and saved the woman's life? What Jesus does this idiot worship? Looks to me like the black Fred Phelps, one can only hope that he will be joining ol' Fred soon.

(8,175 posts)you cannot help but question their reasons. Like are they trying to suppress their own feelings?

(410 posts)It's in the bible, found it right here:
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone ya when you are young and able
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "Good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say you are brave
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
