Definition of cult is really bullshit when you read it. Cult is a term, in most contexts pejorative, for a(n initially) relatively small group which is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who tightly controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society) Key word being ‘small’. I can see some church powers like the Catholic Church flexing back in the day to make sure all dictionaries included that word in the definition of cult. Also note ‘outside the norms of society’. Who tracks this ****? I mean, what if there was a cult that practiced maiming all male babies but then they got ‘big enough’ to be mainstream? Due to the definition of cult, it’s now just a religion, nothing more to see here.
Horrible to hear and glad the shooting was stopped before it could get much worse. I’m not sure what this says about the state of the country when there is a shooter at a mega church and it doesn’t even make national news.
No one was killed except the shooter, so can we joke about it? I think this goes to show that our country is in a crisis when a mass shooter can't even afford child care.
I can't stand that the first thing Joel had to say about this . . . thank god it didn't happen at the 11am service . . . Just can't stand the guy.
It looks like most of her previous criminal activity was committed back when she was a man. Update coming at 1:30 local time.
So they say the kids is going to die. Wonder if he was any relation to the shooter or just a random kid used as a human shield Palestinian style.
(2:55) “The little boy does not belong to her. The child belongs to her ex-husband who is a sex offender. The child is in critical condition. Genesse Moreno married Enrique Carranza III. He is a registered sex offender. During the marriage, Enrique fathered a boy child. That’s the little boy who ended up with Genesse. The child’s mother is unknown. This is the husband of Genesse. They were married. It’s possible he got a woman pregnant during their relationship because of the time framing. That is the father of the child that was with Genesse when she entered the church. Genesse is not the mom, not blood related, nothing. She adopted the child or something like that. I don’t know what happened to the biological mom. The dad is a sex offender so I don’t think they can live together. Genesse lived with her mother in Conroe in a house the mom owned. The whereabouts of biological father and mother are unknown from public record.” Spoiler He’s in prison in Florida. https://www.instagram.com/buildingwealthinc/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingwealthinc/p/CEYOaGWDn1_/
I did see it on cnn.com but don't know if they reported it on-air. I would think so. When it happened it was drowned out by the Super Bowl.
