Today’s Buzz: Online Gangs, Slice, Groeschel Goes to the Dogs; and John MacArthur Goes 1952 On Us…

Wow... a very unique set of finds today... a cyber church is hit by "online gangs"; A Craig Groeschel look alike; even the pets love Craig; Slice is back; cotton balls; and John goes all 1952 on us...

Cyber Church Hit by “Online Gangs”
A pioneering online church has had to undergo a complete rebuilding because of hackers and “trolls” seeking to sabotage its work.  Stephen Goddard, of St Pixels, said online gangs hoping to disrupt the cyber church had forced organisers to rebuild its whole structure.  “It has been a complete nightmare,” he said. “We had to rebuild the whole concept from the bottom up.” SOURCE.

How About Those Cleveland Indians?
Well, my Indians are up two games to one over Boston.  This will still be a tough series to win, but they have the leg up after last night.  I was wondering… all season, Cleveland’s Ryan Garko has reminded me of someone.  I think I know who it is.  Do you see any resemblance?  I know it might be a stretch, but cut me a little slack!

Speaking of Craig, Even the Dogs and Cats Love Him!
OK… this is a little strange… but did you know that Craig has a couple of sites that are dedicated to him?  One is a fan site of cats; and there’s another for dogs.  I’m not quite sure what to think of these (other than someone has WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands!).  Take a look and let me know what you think.  Craig’s Feline Fan Club and Craig’s Canine Fan Club.  What’s up with this?!

Slice is Back!
Is ANYONE surprised?  I think I called this one.  If you need a quick fix.

What’s up with Maury?
First it was the gal who was terrified of pickles.  Now, it’s someone who’s afraid… petrified, actually, of… cotton balls.  So what does Maury do?  He dresses a giant cotton ball man and chases her off the stage.  Nice work.  Between this and the Groeschel pet sites, I’m just confused today.

MacArthur Going Cutting Edge...
Even though Rex Humbard did this in the 1952.  TV is the new way to spread the gospel.  Maybe you’ve heard of it. You’ll soon be able to see John in major cities all across America.  On KDOC in Santa Ana, Grace to You airs right after Mass for Shut Ins and Right Before that ‘charistmatic’ “Church on the Way”.  I don’t know… this just doesn’t sit right with me.

OK… enough for now… I think that’s enough for today…

Make it a great one!

Todd

    1) Cyber Gangs - there is no low to which the heart cannot sink.  Crime doesn’t change much it just add to it new expressions.

    2) Go Indians - not because I like the Indians but because I don’t like the Red Sox.

    3) A local DJ named a chia pet after me a few years back.  Guess I am not all that after all.

    4) Slice, I honestly cannot say I missed them.

    5) I don’t watch religious TV but don’t see the big deal.

    There is no big deal about Mac’s TV program, Leonard… I was just being sarcastic.  smile

    It’s all good, I think you need to swap your picture on the front for one with you in an Indians cap… Show some love there will ya!

    Slice without comments. I hope this means that Ingrid will be responsible with the way she reports this news going forward.

    Go RED SOX! Seriously, I think the Indians have their number. But Wakefield is a heck of an October pitcher. Doesn’t matter though, because the Rockies seem to be an unstoppable force, like the 04 Sox.

    Craig Groeschel has made several comments lately in his podcast that are very anti cat.  Going so far to say that “even if you own three cats, God still loves you.” and such.  My guess is that it is a bit of an inside joke for the lifechurch.tv bunch.

    Um Toddy, I don’t see the resemblance, lol.  But I will cut you some slack.  Honestly, I think Mark Driscoll reminds me a lot of that dark-haired chunky guy on CBS’s “Cold Case.” But it could just be me.

    As for Slice, well, thank God for resurrections---I think.

    And, Todd, I mistakenly called you “Toddy.” That was typo.  My bad (*slaps self in face*).
