Cindy filed for divorce?

This thread is a great example of the FFF:

Starts with juicy gossip out of the IFB followed by opinions of what somebody else should do and some feeble attempts to interject doctrine.  Then comes the hijacking and we discuss everything from interior design to personal finance and now Billy Graham. 

Isn't the randomness of this place just terrific?

Thats why we show up everyday, if only for a min., to see what everyone else has to say about whatever.

If I wanted the same ole same ole I would watch the evening news.

OR....HACkers just have a short attention span.

Great Job!

By bringing in a HACker reference, you have helped us cover every FFF category.  Impressive.

:D

Wow.  "No matter how you think you've failed, I can top it."

IMHO, she exhibited grace and humility here, and it is in this very area that her life can now be a lesson to a whole lot of people. Many, many of us have experienced great failure/heartache, often at the hands of other people. She has the opportunity (if you can call it that) of displaying to people how to respond with grace and humility and love over the long term.

...I was also struck how different this was than her sister Linda's TED talk. There is obviously great pain in both sisters, but the one uses it to attack with more than a little dishonesty and the other simply exudes a distilled sweetness in the Lord.

That is precisely what I took out of it, as well.  She didn't seem very holier-than-thou here.  I'm still reeling from her writing on Katy Hardy's wall, "I'm so sorry you were hurt."  It's just a tiny sentence, but wow, it just says SO MUCH about how far Cindy has come in her thought process, as well as in her actions/comments. 

I'll be the first to admit that this is far from the haughty person I thought she would be when the dust settled.  Instead, I'm seeing a broken, brought-down, here-I-am-and-I-ain't-much person.

I don't remember her ever being haughty.  She was sheltered from the masses because of her proximity to deity, but that wasn't her doing.  Mrs. prophet viewed her as 'real', and Mrs p wasn't from FBC.  Why would someone who was given an empire want to believe that it was all wrong?  She believed it was all God's blessing her.  I find no fault in that.  My heart aches for her...she was hurt on a scale I can't fathom, cause the camera has never been on me.

It has taken YEARS for Linda to come to where she is at. Cindy just hasn't hit the angry phase yet.

In classes, to me at least, she seemed very haughty.  In church she seemed haughty.  However, perception is just that:  perception, not necessarily fact.

I won't discount your take.  You saw what you saw.  My background may not have lent to seeing it.  Either way, whether she was haughty or not, the fall has come.

I saw Cindy when I watched the last Christian womanhood. I thought it was boring, no excitement... I turned the web view off...and my thought was sad

I am glad that Billy Graham stepped up and was able to reach others for the Gospel of Christ, he might have done things differently than what I was taught in my IFB church, but that doesnt make it wrong.

I highly respect my father, (who has since passed away in 1999), and value his opinion. He was an IFB through and through, but loved to hear Billy Graham and respected the work he did.

There are those that tear down Billy Graham but want us to over look what Schaap did, or they want to ignore any truth to the evil from Jack Hyles. But they love to continue to look down on Billy Graham and his style of reaching others.

I'm definitely not comfortable with some things Graham did, most notably his sending Catholics back to Catholic churches after they walked the aisles at the crusades. But nor do I believe everything I hear some people say about him either. As simple google search says he has championed gay rights and abortion. Riggghhht!  A lot of crack pot fundie sites out there that just don't gave any credibility. (Jesus-is-Savior-.com anyone?) I really don't a problem with the interview he gave to Schuller...other than he gave it to Schuller, that some claim he is a universalist. He simply said that God was the final arbiter of Salvation of those who had not heard the plan of salvation.

Some say he has claimed there is not a literal hell. Please check out the four links below, three from his own ministry website, saying something different. And they aren't old. One clearly is a demarcation from Rob Bell's heresy about hell. Regardless, I find it interesting that many fundamentalists don't have a problem extrapolating modern day things like helicopters or nuclear weapons from Revelation because John "couldn't understand what he was seeing in his vision but dare not allow someone to consider what hell might be like along the same lines. Hell is bad. whether it is a literal lake of fire, my belief, or an absence of God resulting in eternal punishment..and I don't want to be there.



He wasn't perfect nor was he a rank heretic as some claim. He was like many of us....mostly good theology along with some questionable....but with more integrity than most.

You have a cajun grandmother?  I do, too.  We called her "Big Mamaw" Gremillion. :-D

Meh, yeah.  We just called her mom.  My great grandmother we called MeMaw.  I miss them both. 

 
It has been said that Cindy was at Kenny's grand opening for his new church...with no visible ring on her ring finger. Do with that what you will.
