^^I was quoting what Bishop McClendon said on the show...
I can't flow in the spirit unless my entourage is with me
I can't flow in the spirit unless my entourage is with me
The fornicator trying to correct him was no better, although what he said was true.
I mean bodyguards when out speaking and not at the "man cave." I did think it was odd that all the men showed up by themselves and then Bishop McClendon comes with his son and someone else. I'm okay with his son being there because I'm sure he wants him to follow in his footsteps. I'm not sure who the second person was that was with him though, looked like he was carrying McClendon's clothes or something.
These guys are definitely all in the basement and their wives don't seem to care. Also I'm disgusted by the display of wealth. The offerings given to the church is not to be used to purchase Bentleys, and mini mansions. It's for outreach purposes. I refuse to watch another episode of this nonsense.
I kept trying to figure out if he was serious and then I was like, "Of course he is...why wouldn't he be?" The saddest part is that he sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. I'm like, "You can't preach the word of God unless the church pays for you AND your entourage. Really??????"
I thought it was funny that he was correcting him, but like you said, he was right.
I don't understand why they felt the need to highlight the kind of house and cars these men drive. I thought it was different that when they were filming the men getting together at the "Man Cave" to fellowship, they felt the need to highlight these men getting out of their newly detailed vehicles and then McClendon comes up with his "assistant". If nothing else, this show has given me some things to think about.
The person carrying the garment bag is his son, he did say that he had another function after he left the man cave, I doubt Deitrick was referring to that one occasion as far as an entourage goes, it sounds like he may have also been speaking of a personal encounter...though hypercritical he is right, what about people who cant afford him, Bishop McClendon made it clear that if his entourage couldn't come then he wasn't coming, after all he needs them to flow in the holy spirit
Iwanthealthyhair67, here's a link to a sermon I just heard that speaks about the the pimping of souls.. thought I'd post if here as well:

I also have to comment that these pastors don't realize the effects their actions have. It's not about them being able to do what they want. They're shepherds over flocks (supposedly). Their actions sting, hurt, burn, leave people wandering and lost. I saw so many of my friends and people I know who left McClendon's church and never found stability after that - some never and others it took a long time. Church hurt is different. It's a deep, soul hurt.
^^I was quoting what Bishop McClendon said on the show...
hebrews 13:17 obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
i watched the first episode and I still love me some Deitrick, I think he is a man of God and after watching the show. He confirmed my belief. i watched it on demand, totally not into the other pastors especially McClendon sorry if I misspelled it, he was not walking in the light by no means. He is very disrespectful and rude. He is also all about the money. Like Deitrick said God gave you a word and you go where you are needed point blank period.
But I do not believe in the HYPE, I actually do not clap in church at all, don't need the hype to be filled up with the holy spirit, I don't think music will get you there.
I have not watched the show and have no plans to watch but that's me... Now, I do not know how true it is but I'm confused by Deitrick especially. He allegedly made a statement to the effect that preachers need to 'be real' and not fake but he and his former wife both committed adultery. She first supposedly but what difference does that make? Then he starts sleeping with the praise and worship team leader who becomes pregnant. They live together for two years and got married this summer and he wants to point fingers. So, we all fall short but repent and keep your mouth shut unless you are trying to edify someone or led to share. Finger pointing? Common dude...erplexed
