"Oh sometimes I say, 'Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Myers would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved,'" she declared. "I ask the Lord, 'Why am I here?' I have to trust God when He says, 'Because I said so.'"

This is one of those times when I really miss Namo.

Are you checking out those comments at the bottom?


Wait on second thought...don't.

I was glad I checked them, because a few comments confirmed my first thought, which was "Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians (albeit even more wacky than the regular kind)."

I love when women have multiple abortions and then become pro-life.

But she's found the Lord, Phyllis......

My favorite comment went something like, "Sherri, Jesus loves you even though you are a serial killer and fornicator".

Hey, but look on the bright side: she supports her fellow Christian leader, Obama!

Now, I'm wondering how high she can count.

That woman works my last flippin' nerve.

[Namaste]

"Now, I'm wondering how high she can count."

Well, I would assume at least up to the number of abortions she's had. Praise Him.

I can only describe her as saying she is stupid.

[Namaste]

Posted: 7/22/08 at 8:36pm

You're very polite, Jane2. Such a lady.

I swear, it seems like 90% of "born agains" are ex-crack whores or crooks who now all of the sudden think that they're perfect people.

Remember that Star what's her name (not Jones) that guest hosted here and there? She had a handful of abortions, too, before she decided other women shouldn't have that same right. She must have had that many to really make an informed decision.

Starr Parker, who was so batsh!t crazy on The View that she made Hasselbeck seem like a bleedingheart. Parker also made headlines by saying that she wants to "quarantine sodomites." Lovely lady.

Fertile, too!

I agree with jane2. Let me just add, "what crap."

I'm pro-choice but I can't help but wonder if she ever heard of birth control.

[Namaste]

She was on The View today doing some damage control.

She basically said it was a joke and apologized to Barbara if she offended her. She also said that the abortion comment was not fully quoted, so it made her look flippant about abortions.

I have to agree with her that print is VERY misleading and often times the reporter/writer chooses what bits to leave in and take out. In this case, I think she got very comfortable and thought her "Christian sister" who interviewed her would have her back and not skew the article for publicity... WRONG.

I still stand on my position that she is BAT-SH*T CRAZY (for Jesus - amen), and obviously not the brightest bulb.

Well like my theatre friends say, there's nothing worse than dealing with a bunch of Christians.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 7/23/08 at 11:27pm

So how many abortions DID she have?

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 7/23/08 at 11:59pm

Who is she?

[Jane2]

"You're very polite, Jane2. Such a lady."

Maybe not, Namaste. I'm hearing lately that calling someone stupid has now been added to the list of no-nos.
