Question: In your perception, what causes a “man of God” to live a hypocritical life, and continue in it? Lynn: “Image.... there is something about an image that seems to mean everything to the clergy,… there is this idea that if I can make the people believe I'm who I say that I am, they will gravitate to me and to my ministry.” Wenona: “…That term 'Men of God' is a misnomer in and of itself …really. People call folks names in the church and put them on pedestals that God Himself hasn't placed them upon ...and when you do that, you put that flesh and blood man into idol status. …Almost god-like status..” “When you lift up flesh like that, that flesh starts to believe “their own press”. They start thinking they are above the law of God …that nobody can tell them anything. …That's until that flesh start rising up and they realize they are NOT gods, or God. …And they really do not know how to handle that realization. Why? …Because THE PEOPLE have built them up to this almost god-like status that they just cannot believe or accept the fact that they are mere flesh!” Lynn: “Preachers hypocrite to maintain control over the congregants… It's called taking advantage of a person’s LOVE FOR GOD. Preachers know that when a person Love God and want to please God, they will do what is told to them …and will believe what is said to them. One of the main reasons preachers hypocrite is because they were never called to preach, pastor, minister or lead. .. Selah” Wenona: “This is why they lead and maintain hypocritical lives. …Because they cannot and will not face the truth about themselves!! PLUS, the folks in church are constantly lying to them, so they believe the hype”….And they do whatever they have to maintain a hypocritical lifestyle as well. …They front...basically. ….Dysfunctional …..and they don't believe that they are. Sick institutions begat SICK children! "Black folks, in particular, teach their children, 'What goes on in my house STAYS in my house!' Preachers have that same mentality and belief system. What goes on in the House of God they believe it’s supposed to stay there...” That kind of belief system is killing a lot of folks in the church." Question: What is your response to wellmeaning people who say that you shouldn’t air your dirty laundry? Lynn: “What people are you talking about? The media would beg to differ... with programs like Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition TMZ, Extra, 20/20… the lists goes on …Judge Judy, Divorce Court, Peoples Court… then you have the Fashion Police, if that were not enough… Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…. AIR DRY has always been the best method to completely drying clothes that was once dirty but has gone thru the cleansing cycle and need to be dried.” August 201 4 l Exclusif Entertainment l 46
