In “Machetes Up Top”, Nancy receives a message from Guillermo and must visit him in prison without Esteban finding out.  That means ditching the goon that Esteban has keeping Nancy “company”.  During her visit Guillermo blames her for the DEA finding ans shutting down his magical tunnel, which she denies.  When he finds out that she is “with child”, namely Esteban’s, he tells her she is doomed to find herself dead in some landfill with her lady parts cut out, since she is not Esteban’s wife and only the knocked up whore whose life and the life of her unborn child are of no meaning.

Elsewhere, at Nancy’s estranged sister Jill’s house, Andy tells Jill that Nancy would like her to take Shane in to live with her and her husband and twin daughters and that it is for his own safety.  Reluctant to do anything for a sister who only talks to her when she needs something, Jill agrees.  After Jill and Andy knock off about a case of wine, and Jill pours out her feelings about how both she and Andy are so unappreciated, they end up getting it on. And Shane captures all the action on his cell phone camera!

In the National Forest, Doug and Silas run into some trouble finding a place to grow their weed and narrowly escape with their heads intact, minus their weed which was taken by some goons who had the same idea of growing pot in the forest.

Somewhere in Mexico, now that Quinn was kicked to the curb by her rebel leader boyfriend, Celia is given her freedom.  But, with nowhere to go and all her friends and ex-husband caring less about her well-being, she decides to stay, and organizes her captors weaponry with “Machetes Up Top” of the shelves.

Elsewhere, fearful for her life, Nancy pays Dean a visit to have him draw up a last will incase something should happen to her, naming Silas as Shane’s legal guardian. Nancy ends up in a Japanese restaurant, drinks herself silly and pays Esteban a surprise visit.  She confronts him with her new found information and asks when she will wind up in a landfill.  Esteban tells her he hasn’t decided that yet, and in turn she pulls a gun, points the barrel at her tummy, puts the trigger in his hand and tells him to decide NOW!  Bad move Nancy!  Esteban throws her on a table,  pulls down her skirt and reminds her who is in charge!!

Stay tuned for Episode 3!!

Happy Viewing!!

Now I’ve heard everything!!

Picture it: Bridgeport, Connecticut, June 24, 2009.  Yes, 2009!!

Now picture a 16-year-old boy lying on the floor of a small church. Strange you say? In most cases, probably not. But this was no ordinary chruch and no ordinary 16-year-old boy. For you see, this 16-year-old boy was on the floor of this small Connecticut church writhing and convulsing as the church elders were exorcising the “homosexual demons” from his body!!

Yes, I said “homosexual demons”. They were exorcising. From his body!

One woman yelled, “Rip it from his throat!” And, “Come on you homosexual demon! You homosexual spirit, we call you out right now! Loose your grip, Lucifer!”  Now, I would probably find that a sexy pick up line in a bar someplace. I mean, really, “homosexual demon”? I’ve been called worse.  And I DO have a homosexual spirit.  And I’m almost willing to bet my “homosexual soul” that Lucifer has nothing to do with it.

I say these things in jest, only because I find these proceedings particularly horrifying.  A 20 minute video of the exorcism was posted on YouTube by the Manifested Glory Ministries, but the video and account have both been deleted.  I’m sure you can find it on other video sites  if you really look hard enough. It is horrifying to say the least.

The video is being called “abuse” by gay and youth advocates, who are demanding an investigation.  A church official denied this week that the teenage boy was in anyway hurt or that the church is prejudiced. REALLY???

The Reverend (and I use that term very lightly) Patricia McKinney,  co-founder along with her husband, of the Manifested Glory Ministries, reportedly told the Associated Press: “We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don’t agree with their lifestyles.”

I can understand you not agreeing with the homosexual lifestyle. But then in this blogger’s opinion, I don’t think you can also say in the same breath that you have nothing against homosexuals. I mean, especially if you were exorcising so-called “homosexual demons” from this 16-year-old boy.  No?

And of course, the church declined to make the video available for broadcast by the Associated Press.  No big shocker there!! But to give you an idea of what the video contained, picture church members standing the boy up by holding him under his arms while organ music is playing and yelling things like:

“Come out of his belly! It’s in the belly–Push!!”

Now I am really confused. Is he possessed by “homosexual demons” or is he having a friggin’ baby?!?

Later the video shows the boy back on the floor breathing heavily and apparently puking into a bag.  I would be too, if someone was forcing something, “homosexual demon” or not, out of MY belly!!

It is hard to say how often similar exercises occur in churches nationwide, but Kamora Herrington, a mentor at True Colors (an advocacy group for gay youths) says this kind of thing is fairly common and “happens all the time and this was not an isolated incident”.  Robin McHaelin, executive director of True Colors says that the organization is aware of five cases in recent years where youths in the program were threatened with exorcism.

Reverend McKinney denies the ritual was an exorcism, but rather a “casting out of spirits”.  Last time I checked, lady, that was called an “exorcism”.  She said the church took care of the boy, providing him clothes.  “He was dressing like a woman and everything. And he did’nt want to be like that.”  Or maybe YOU did’nt want him to be like that??  McKinney also said the boy was 18. The boy admitted he was actually 16, but would comment no further on the incident on the advice of his pastor.  What a surprise.

Exodus International, a Christian group (that’s bad already) that believes gays can become straight through prayer and counselling, does not advocate the church’s approach, said Jeff Buchanan director of church equipping.   Boy, this just keeps getting better and BETTER!!

McKinney also has a weekly radio show and on Wednesday she talked about being “persecuted” but said nothing about the video specifically.  “I’ts been a hard time for me, but I’m looking good and I’m standing strong because when you have a mandate like mine you’re not going to say what you want without the adversary coming after you,” she said. “If you are a true prophet you’re not going to be popular with the people”.

If you are a true prophet, you WILL be popular with the people.  Gays are included in “the people”.  No amount of prayer, counseling or exorcising can make a gay person become straight. I wish there was a way to exorcise the “prejudiced demons” from a person’s spirit.  Now, that’s a religion I could live with!  How many people walk among us with minds so twisted by their religion that are a danger to others?  I shudder to think.

Until next time!!

God Bless!
