The footage with Dr. Manhattan definitely looked good, but overall I’m not really that excited. Probably will be some very cool scenes in the movie, though.

Cayusa, it’s on the Fox 4 website, http://www.myfoxdfw.com, type in Judge Thomas Jones in the search field and it comes up.

They’re both idiots. And Mayfield totally looked like WTF??

This is excellent. It will go in my “zombie-proof” bunker next to the sterno, shotgun, and cricket bat. Sweet!

That candle looks so badass and is such a neat contraption that I’d want to get one even if the undead armageddon weren’t imminent. Thanks for the info, Rick!

Very cool! I just hate the fact that it is still months and months away!

Thank you for responding to my comment.

I do think that a person who is in the position such as Reverend Soaries, would know the ramifications of divulging confidential information that may have been discussed in private with an individual.

Perhaps, Mr. Imus wanted the contents of thier discussion to be made public. This is truly what I would think.

For the life of me, I do not believe that Reverend Soaries would talk about what happened between he and Imus, unless they both agreed. He is by far, no idiot!

This information would not and did not hurt Mr. Imus any further, it only helped him at that point.

Think about it!
Angered, disgusted and concerned people,wanted and demanded action by any means necessary.

Imus knows that the public wants to hear what goes on, in front of and behind the camera. After all, he was a successful radio host forever!!

I saw the Watchmen trailer last night before The Dark Knight, and it does look incredibly cool. I try not to get too excited from watching trailers, but how can you not (if you’ve read the comic, anyway) after seeing how cool Dr. Manhattan looks?

Here’s hoping this will be as good as it looks. The Watchmen flick has been a long time coming, and it has a lot to live up to.

In response to your opening question/statement, the answer is NO! Ministers are not suppose to keep their mouths shut!

I was referring to the fact that the good Reverend DeForest Soaries spoke to a newspaper about ministering to Imus and conveyed to the reporter things that transpired during their time together. This obviously should have remained private.

By first confronting and speaking to Imus with the love of God, is Pastor Soaries first responsibility, which he did meet.

Secondly, asking for Imus to be fired, is the responsibility not only of Reverend Soaries, but also of his employer, as well as anyone who witnessed or heard about this unfortunate incident.

Reverend Soaries did follow God’s direction by speaking to Imus about his situation, listening to him, counseling him, and having others present to witness this.

After Imus personally goes through the realization that he has done something very wrong, he would be more likely to acknowledge his wrongdoing, repent, and in this case, sincerely apologize and ask those he offended for forgiveness.

However, his repentence and apology, still do not excuse or exempt him from facing severe consequences for his actions.

If we compare this incident to let’s say… a mother removing her son off a team, after hearing her child call his opponents nappy headed whores or pimps in public. Wouldn’t we as adults expect a responsible parent to punish this child?

The child might not think that removal from the team was fair, but the magnitude and impact of what he said in public, was wrong, hateful and unacceptable!

God instructs us in His Word, to teach lesson to those who have sinned, through acts of love.

I thought Reverend Soaries handled this situation correctly. He handled it correctly as a christian, a minister, a spokesperson and a father who has children of his own!

All people are worth and need God’s salvation

His life for us and we are to lay
down our lives for our brothers”.

God Bless Everyone!
