well, I think this movement is quite hypocritical don't you think so Pastor??
After all, you rant and rave about what is tearing apart our people and how others perceive us yet you do nothing to live the life you claim to preach. It's almost as bad as preaching about being saved by the resurection on Easter Sunday, after spending the weekend fornicating at a Quality Inn hotel in Brooklyn!!!!
Shame on you Pastor!!!!!
