Matthew 12:31-32

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: But whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neith in the world to come.
Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……It was brought too my attention by members of my Obnoxious Street Committee that a so called man of God has launched an attack on little old me.  People would only want to see me shut down because I must have something to say.  Never would I have imagined that my blog would reach a level to be mentioned by such great people or cause this level of reaction in the Body of Christ or any arena for that matter.  

Unfortunately the man calling for the boycott is Heretic and sleaze bag that is not worthy to take my dog to the dog pound.  In fact all of the men that are speaking against me and my blog in support of Brian Carn have known scandal and been exposed right here on Obnoxious like Jamal Harrasion Bryant, Joseph Walker, Tim Clinton, and Rudolph Mckissick (who you said called you laughing about how he got over Bishop George Bloomer for close to $10,000 when lied about how much Bloomer raised in the when he preached for Rudy).  Find a man with clean hands to come out for Brian.  But no one is moved by these paid endorsements (rumor has it that Brian is paying his so called big brothers to come out and support him with cash or commitments too preach at their churches).  Jamal Harrasion Bryant was once a man that I called a friend and in fact was a supporter and former faithful Obnoxious Street Committee Member.  He was the very person that called me and told me to get over to the Renaissance Hotel on the night Bishop Thomas Weeks was going to confront Prophetess Juanita Bynum.  Jamal had me meet his then good friend and brother Darwin Randolph, who was revealed to be a Pineaple Juice Drinker right here on Obnoxious, in the restaurant for the show down and as he promised it happened.  Jamal taked about them like dogs and how they were living in the church and how their marriage was falling apart and he was in their wedding.  In the early days Jamal gave me most of my inside stories on high profile men in ministry.  We would spend hours on the phone in hot gossip sessions as he poured much tea.  The following are just some of the notable people in ministry he shared personal information with with me to expose here on Obnoxious:  Bishop Kenneth Moales, Juanita Bynum, Noel Jones, Angelic Simmons, Alfred and Suzie Owens, Craig Oliver and his divorce scandal, Jasper and his son Joseph Williams, Dr. Steve Thurston and his son, Joseph Ratliff, and most of all his little brother Brian Carn.  Just to name a few!

 In the early days it was Jamal that informed me of some of my hottest post to my blog; like the Bishop Ron Gibson and Paula White’s alleaged affair on her plane when we all were in Virginia for Bishop Samuel Green’s Convocation.  Many of you that follow my blog will recall one of my early post on Brian Carn and a woman named Carlyon King, who allegedly got pregnant by the young preacher during his many visits to Samuel Braxton’s church.  Well, you guessed right!  Jamal confessed to me he offered her  $10,000 dollars to go away.  In fact it was Jamal that put me on n the phone with Brian to discuss the matter.  Jesus was betrayed buy his friend and Brain obviously does no realize Jamal is his Judus!  Jamal must not recall how we laughed about how much he enjoyed his many sexual escapades with an Apolstic girl named Tiffany from Connecticut and the details of your friend and member former NFL Football Player Ray Lewis being suspect (Jamal said he thought Ray was a Pineapple Juice Drinker) and the surcumstances surrounding the murder of the guy he had been hanging out with during Super Bowl that year in Atlanta or his then assistant pastor and his questionable sexuality.

In fact, Jamal at one time wanted me to use my blog to help him get back at people that crossed him.  Jamal must have forgotten it was me that encouraged him to write the book “World War Me” and to own his truth and tell his story himself and the people would love him for it.  Jamal must have forgotten my assisting him at being invited back to preach at Morehouse for a  baccalaureate service and to be featured in Fulton County Cominisser Chairmen John Eaves book (Pat Russel McCloud, Bishop McCloud’s wife and your mother can verify that is a fact).  Perhaps he does not recall flying into Altanta a day early and staying at my condo when I arranged for him to preach at my church.  Jamal knows he has a serious thing for light skin, light eyes, and long hair.  It is best I stop now because you know we have a lot of history.  

Since an attack was launched on me let me launch one of my own!  Get every DVD, CD, YouTube, Internt Clip, and any recorded prophesy from Brian Carn and compare it to the words of witches see if this is the unforgivable sin of Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost has been committed more than once by Brian Carn!

Matthew 12:31-32

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: But whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neith in the world to come.

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  

The discussion is crazy on social media:

 Follow me on Facebook William G. McCray III and Obnoxious.tv with William G. McCray III on Twitter @WilliamGMcCray and Instagram @SirWilliamGMcCrayIII to keep up on the latest!  

 The question is not so much if he said it first or not because that is clear from the clip Psychic Cheryl Lynn in fact did.  The greater concern is that he was clearly so off and that he committed the sin of blasphemy and if he can be forgiven.  Now everyone can jump and make a response, but they cannot not make the Bible say something that it does not say.  As previously reported it has been the church and the love of money that has caused this to happen.  The Word says pride comes before a great fall and that exactly what he has displayed.  Brian has attempted to insult the church again and clap his hands and declare the Lord told him to fight just like he said the Lord told him the same exact thing the psychic said ten months prior.  He cannot even realize that what he and the psychic said about Michael Jackson is happening to him.  Brian might have been prophesying about Kanye West what is going to be the very thing that happens to him.  It would be horrible if Brian looses his mind and everything for lying on God.  On his social media viedo he said he lives where he wants to live and drive what he wants to drive.  Which reminds us, “What does it profit a man to gain the world and loose his soul?”

 Brian Carn is so arrogant and lead astray he would use this controversy to advertise his so called 48 Hours of Prayer (so Obnoxious Media is going to help him).  This unfortunate discovery is a God exposing the Devil and allowing his people eyes to become open.  Everyone has an off night, which calls into question who exposed Brian Carn to the a cult?  His dear friend Benny Hinn is extremely quite so not it is time to call some folks out because the Body of Christ wants some answers!  

 BRIAN CARN WHO INTRODUCED YOU TO WITCHCRAFT?  

Recently he has been running with Benny Hinn, Marcus Lamb, Jodi Lamb, Rod Parsley, Percy Stone, Apostle Muldanado, and Steve Muncie to name a few.  Brain clearly is not crafty or ingenious enough to tink of a master scam all on his own.  All of his big name friends have been extremely quite.  Obnoxious Media wants to know if it was one of them that introduced him to a white psychic and they just so happen to be white as well?  Additionally it is ironic he used a white psychic’s predictions at a black church.  Where is the pastor of the church he prophesied this foolishness?  

 In closing, what will Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, Kimberly Daniels, Kimberly Ray, Mark Vereen, Tamara Bennett, Aretha Wilson, Kingsley Fletcher, William Murphy, Suzette Caldwell, Cynthia Moore, Jonathan Ferguson, May Dupree, and others have to say if another viedo of Brian quoting another witch is revealed?

Perhaps all of these people are secretly witches and warlocks operating in this Last Day Church.  A great conspiracy has been discovered and ai would not allow anyone that stood with Brain in the mist of this lie take y dog to the dog pound let alone play with my soul.  People must do their own research and examine every DVD, CD, YouTube clip and check it against people that work divination.  

Take a look at real prophesy and interpretation with Late Mother Elise Shaw:

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……Yesterday was Super Tuesday as the fight for the White House gets serious.  Hilary seems to have gained a serious lead over Bernie and Trump is gaining serious momentum and might get the GOP nomination.  However, there is another race going on that is just as serious and it is one that is a fight to be one of the twelve on the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) General Board.  

COGIC is the largest African American Pentacostal Denomination in the the world with over 5 million members worldwide.  The only religious organization that meets eight plus times a year in record numbers.  Frankly, speaking the Church Of a God In Church, AME, CME, and PAW are about the only denominations where being a bishop actually means something.  The office has become so common that everyone is a bishop including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.  Washington D.C. Has nothing on the politics among the Saints.  The April Call meeting is right around the corner and all the credential holders and voting delegates will meet at Mason Temple, the World Headquarters of the church in Memphis, Tennessee.  

Mason Temple might not be large enough to hold the meeting of the General Assembly.  Rumor has it that the Saints are going to come out in record numbers this year.  Their is a high antisapation of Bishop Blake’s State Of The Church Address.  Plus the meeting of the COGIC Screening Committee for all the individuals running to be elected or re-elected to the General Board, National Trusttee Board, General Secretary, Treasure, Fininacal Secretary all must run to be elected to office at the Holy Convocation this November.  Rumor has it that there will be one open seat on the General Board due to Roy L.H. Winbush not seeking re-election, but that has not been confirmed. 

Good members of my Obnoxious Street Committee have slipped us a list.  Please note we cannot fully determine if this list is totally accurate or not because we will not get the names until the April Call Meeting.  Do note that just because you see a name now you might not see it come November because their or four phases to screening for every potential candidate plus a background and credit check.  The Church Of God In Christ Is not playing and just consecrating Lotte Dotte and Everybody!

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God meets Drug Dealers And Killers Strike Again……A Cobb County woman has been found guilty of stealing more than $93,000 from the church where she worked, authorities said on Friday.

Gwendolyn Hawthorne, 62, of Marietta, allegedly pocketed $93,744.25 from Crown of Life Community Baptist Church in Powder Springs between 2007 and 2014, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
Hawthorne, who was the church treasurer, admitted in court that she regularly used church credit and debit cards for personal purchases, cash withdrawals and at casinos.
Hawthorne’s actions cost the small Powder Springs church more than $88,000 plus an additional $5,000 in bank overdraft fees, according to a statement released by Kim Isaza, spokesperson for the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office.
To cover her tracks, she manipulated accounting reports she provided to church leaders, Isaza said.
“Theft is bad. But theft from a church is a whole new level of evil,” prosecutor John Melvin said.
Melvin said District Attorney Victor Reynolds directed the White Collar Unit to vigorously pursue thieves who are preying upon citizens.
“I encourage all churches, companies and businesses to verify that the people who handle their money are doing so with integrity,” Melvin said. “In other words, watch the watchers.”
Hawthorne was sentenced to 20 years, with two years to serve in prison and 18 years on probation. She must also pay more than $93,000 in restitution, Isaza said.
Hawthorne must report to prison March 18 at 9 a.m.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan died Sunday at the age of 94.
The news was first reported by the website TMZ, citing a “close family member,” and confirmed by a spokeswoman. The Reagan Library said in a statement that the cause of death was “congestive heart failure.” 
The widow of former President Ronald Reagan had been hospitalized in October 2014 with a fractured pelvis.
She served as first lady from 1981 to 1989 and was known for her work in combating youth drug abuse through the “Just Say No” campaign.

She was born Anne Frances Robbins on July 6, 1921, in New York City. When her stepfather adopted her in 1935, she took his last name of Davis. She majored in theater at Smith College in Massachusetts.
In 1951, she met her future husband when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild and she was a Hollywood actress billed as Nancy Davis. They married in Los Angeles in 1952 and had a daughter, Patti Davis, and a son, Ron Reagan.
“My life really began when I married my husband,” Nancy Reagan often said. She even referenced the quote in her 1989 book My Turn.
After the wedding, Nancy Reagan appeared in only a few more films, including “Hellcats of the Navy” (1957), which also featured her husband.

  
“Ronnie,” as she affectionately called him, served as governor of California from 1967 to 1975. During that time, Nancy Reagan supported veterans groups and advocated for the Foster Grandparent Program, which brings together older Americans with children who have physical and emotional handicaps. She drew national attention to the program once her husband was elected to the White House.

As first lady of the United States, Reagan also launched a campaign to fight drug and alcohol abuse among youth. The refrain “Just Say No” became synonymous with those efforts and a pop culture watchword. The first lady appeared repeatedly on TV and enlisted more established groups to advance the anti-drug message. “Just Say No” clubs were started nationwide in schools and elsewhere. Critics, however, argued that the “Just Say No” approach to the drug war was too simplistic.
Reagan was also mockingly dubbed “Queen Nancy” for what many viewed as excessive spending during the 1981-82 recession, according to the National First Ladies’ Library. She directed major repairs and redecoration in the White House, which hadn’t been done since renovations in the 1960s, and purchased new china. Though Reagan paid for the upgrades with private donations, many Americans criticized her. Her elegantly expensive wardrobe, often donated by the designers, sparked criticism as well.
She caught flak for being overly involved in her husband’s administration, particularly in the hiring and firing of top advisers. A number of memoirs from those who worked for the Reagans said that Nancy Reagan pushed out those she perceived as detrimental to her husband.
One White House chief of staff, Donald Regan, said in his 1988 book that he was fired after disagreeing with her over what the president should do during the Iran-Contra scandal. “She becomes very vindictive if she thinks somebody is going to harm the reputation of her husband or herself, or won’t give in to her,” he said at the time, according to People magazine.

 Regan’s book also revealed that Nancy Reagan had begun consulting an astrologer to deal with her own fears over her husband’s safety after the March 1981 assassination attempt. Shot in the chest, the president underwent emergency surgery to save his life. Regan wrote that in later years, the first lady required major decisions regarding the president’s schedule to be run past the San Francisco fortune teller.
After President Reagan’s second term, the couple returned to Los Angeles. In 1994, the former president announced he had Alzheimer’s disease. Nancy Reagan, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy in 1987, cared for her husband until he died on June 5, 2004.
Following her husband’s death, Reagan became a strong advocate of using stem cell research to learn more about Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
In her book I Love You, Ronnie, Nancy Reagan recalled her husband’s final illness:
“We’ve had an extraordinary life … but the other side of the coin is that it makes it harder. There are so many memories that I can no longer share, which makes it very difficult. When it comes right down to it, you’re in it alone. Each day is different, and you get up, put one foot in front of the other, and go — and love; just love.”

Michael Eric Dyson is on the money: There’s a new model now of black intellectual leadership, and West is yesterday’s news.

Michael Eric Dyson’s blistering takedown of Cornel West in The Ghost of Cornel West for The New Republic not only closed the door on a decades-long friendship that arguably led the way in black American thought at the end of the 20th century, but also displayed how the roles of black leaders have evolved during Barack Obama’s rise to prominence.
Dyson starts off by describing West’s animus toward the president as a love that has turned into a hatred so severe that it would make the heavens shudder. He mentions the times when West called Obama a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface,” on Democracy Now! and a “brown-faced Clinton” in Salon magazine. He discusses a moment when West told him, Dyson, that he does not “respect the brother at all,” referring to Obama. All this in the first two paragraphs.
As the piece winds its way to the conclusion that solidifies the end of their personal and professional relationship, a narrative of West emerges as a man of supreme intellect who thought that he had reached the pinnacle of African-American thought. West had even gone so far as to start referring to himself as a prophet. He believed that he was the voice that the black community would run to when in need of clarity. Dyson was one of those voices early on, so West’s fall from grace in his eyes is all the more striking. He was a self-anointed prophet, who has publicly lost one of his most significant disciples and a friend.
  
Apparently, it was the release of Race Matters in the mid-’90s that placed West at the pinnacle, and he intended on staying there for life. He did not need to publish new, thought-provoking works. His lack of output was disappointing, and so were his verbal attacks toward others in the black community, especially at MSNBC contributor and professor Melissa Harris-Perry.

Still, he potentially could have recovered from both of these errors. Yet he decided to rest on his laurels from here to eternity, and as he did so, time, unbeknownst to him, began passing him by. When Obama showed up, and politely challenged West’s idyllic place at the summit, West responded venomously to challenge this young, brash usurper.
West was not the only person to challenge Obama’s place within the black community—Jesse Jackson had very choice words for Obama, too—but he is one of the few whose perspective has not evolved with the passage of time, and nothing could be more damning for an intellectual. Yet the key thing to remember is that Obama did not take West’s position at the summit; he instead built a taller mountain and sat atop it.
This recent evolution of black leadership in American society always makes me think about a conversation I had with my grandfather on the eve of the 2008 Iowa caucuses.
During the conversation, he explained to me that he intended on voting for Hillary Clinton for president because he did not believe that white people would allow Obama to become president of the United States. My grandfather was an educated man, a minister, and a veteran of the Korean War, but mentally it was absolutely impossible for him to believe that Obama could become the next president.
I did not agree with his perspective, but I knew where it came from, and it made me wonder more and more about how one’s environment and experiences can drastically shape what you can believe is possible in the world.
Most times when I tell this story, I need to follow it up with a simplifying analogy to explain how this perspective could have come into being. In this analogy, I condense America to a k-through-12 school.
At the beginning of America, blacks were unpaid laborers at the school. Then we became paid laborers, and then we were able to have our own classes, and through this structure, influential black teachers were able to emerge. These teachers made progress within the school and created lasting changes, but the goal was always to become one of these beloved teachers and to make change through this medium. Many of the most influential black leaders in America were teachers or educated through the church. W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington were both teachers. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X taught from the pulpit. Dyson and West used both media, the classroom and the pulpit.
Obama, on the other hand, specialized in neither, even though he taught at the University of Chicago. Instead he took the administrative route. He wanted to be the principal of the school, and that meant he could not teach full time, and this is where the conflict has largely emerged.
People like my grandfather did not believe that it would be possible to have a black principal. Many within the African-American community wanted to know if Obama would be able to teach class full time, because in their minds teaching was what black Americans had always done; and when he said that he could not, they questioned his motives and integrity.
When Obama won the presidency the opportunities for black thought and leadership expanded. My grandfather was beside himself with joy that night because he had lived to witness the previously thought impossible. What he thought was possible in the world had now expanded. Innumerable black Americans felt the same. A new level of attainment in public life was now possible.
Yet despite this progress, the need remained for great black teachers, and now a new question emerged: How would the teachers themselves handle no longer being arguably the most influential voice in the Obama era?
Dyson and other black leaders have taken a healthy position of comfortably and even vehemently disagreeing with Obama on policy issues, but respecting the man for the position he has earned and what it has done for the black community.
West clearly did not take this change well and instead opted to sternly rebuff this paradigm shift that undermined his influence.
Dyson details West’s anger when Obama did not give him tickets to the inauguration, and he mentions how West “lambasted” Obama when the then-junior senator from Illinois decided to announce his candidacy for the presidency in Illinois instead of at Tavis Smiley’s State of the Black Union meeting in Virginia.

West wanted Obama to visit his class, and he became incredulous when the candidate chose to speak in front of the people who elected him instead of those within the black community. West either did not see the shift or chose to ignore it.
When West did not receive inauguration tickets his fury was that of someone who did not understand that the party could go on without him.
He wanted everyone to love him for his brilliance, and forgot to use his intellect for the benefit of others. He stopped being a teacher, refused to be a student, and wanted to be a prophet.
The leadership roles that black Americans can obtain has changed in the last decade and this has required an evolution of thought amongst black intellectuals and leaders, and a re-examining of roles within the black community.
West was once both an intellectual and a leader, but as the times changed, he did not. And now progress, thought, and leadership have moved forward without him.

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God meets Drug Dealers And Killers Strike Again……James Fortune is a sleaze bag in every since of the word!  He has beat his wife, abused her son, gang rape a woman and had a bastard baby and still manages to get off without going to prison!  Most Gangster Rappers live more upstanding lives then this so called Gospel Singer!

Popular Grammy-nominated gospel recording artist, James Fortune, has pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife.He accepted a plea deal Tuesday to a third degree felony charge of assault – family violence. He was sentenced by Fort Bend District Judge Maggie Jaramillo to five years of probation plus five days in jail. He must also serve 175 hours of community service, complete a “batterer’s intervention” program and stay away from his wife.
Investigators say Fortune struck his wife with a wooden vanity stool, kicked her and threw her against a wall one night inside their Stafford home in October of 2014. In court, a prosecutor read a victim impact statement from Fortune’s wife in which she wrote, “I hope in all of this you get help. Serious help. Although this probation might be like a slap on the wrist, I hope you look at it as a moment to better yourself and change something within you for your future.”
Fortune had no comment as he walked out of court. His mother told Eyewitness News he is not guilty, but she would not elaborate on that claim.
It’s the second time Fortune has pleaded guilty after hurting a family member. In 2002 he took a plea deal for six years of probation after burning his four-year-old son in hot water. Investigators said Fortune said it was a form of discipline. The boy was burned over 40 percent of his body.
Prosecutors say Fortune’s wife agreed to the plea deal this time because she didn’t want to put their three kids through the stresses of trial and the possibility of testifying against him.

The entertainment industry mourns the death of Grammy-nominated Gospel great, Daryl Coley.

The 60-year-old vocal wonder was an innovator in Gospel Music, known for his intricate vocal riffs and jazz-like arrangements.
Known as “a singer’s singer,” Coley had been off the music scene for more than a decade after years of battling diabetes, which at one point left him temporarily blind. He spent his final days in hospice care, where his wife and family made sure he was comforted.
The Berkeley, California-bred music minister had become victim of several fake death reports over the last several years.
The hashtag #RIPDarylColey has trended on social media at least four times over the last year alone.
But the man behind classic church songs like “Beyond the Veil,” “He’s Preparing Me,” “Jesus Saves,” “I Can’t Tell It All” and “When Sunday Comes” with Donald Lawrence’s Tri-City Singers, made his transition Tuesday night around 8pm PT.
Many are not aware that Daryl Coley was a lead singer in the Angelic Voices Delivernce Chior at East Oakland Faith Deliverance Center where Bishop Raymond Edward Mack is the founder and pastor.  After getting great notoriety for being on the church broadcast weekly he then went on to start singing professionally. 

Beginning his career working with Edwin Hawkins, Walter Hawkins, Tremaine Hawkins and Rev. James Cleveland; Coley would go on to venture into mainstream music, collaborating with artists like Sylvester, Nancy Wilson and Ramsey Lewis. Coley’s friend, Gospel artist Danniebelle Hall encouraged him to return to singing Gospel.

Watch Daryl and Walter lead “I Cried Until I Found The Lord” below:

Having released eight studio album and one Christmas CD; Coley leaves a catalog of music that will live on.
Daryl Coley Greatest HitsIn 1992, Coley was a featured voice on Quincy Jones’ “Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration.” On the “Hallelujah!” chorus from that project, Coley was able to shine in a breakout verse and adlibs, while singing alongside music greats like Gladys Knight, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan, Johnny Mathis, Patti Austin, Marilyn McCoo, Stephanie Mills, Jeffrey Osborne, Richard Smallwood, Take 6, Vanessa L. Williams and others.

Coley leaves behind his family, friends and a host of industry peers and admirers.
Arrangements for funeral services have not been announced.

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……While at the Hawks game tonight my phone began to ring out of control with text messages, calls, and Facebook in-box messages about Jason White being fired by Bishop Charles Edward Blake.  White was releaved of his duties as of March 8, 2016 and was celebrated in church two days prior on March 6, 2016 for his winning a Stellars Gospel Music Award.  Rumors have been flying since word getting out that his services were no longer needed at the West Angeles Church Of God In Christ.  According to members of my Obnoxious Street Committee there has been some issues with Jason for sometime now, but Bishop Blake continued to allow him to serve as Director of Music and Worship Arts.  

In the letter Jason White posted on Facebook in twenty years of employment he only could think of two occasions tha would ha warranted termination.  Seems he is not aware that only one is enough to cause you to loose your job.  Additionally, he expressed he felt Bishop Blake should have given him an explanation as to why he was releasing from his duties.  Perhaps due to his feeling that Bishop was more than a boss, but a Spiritual Father he became to common and comfortable.  It is confusing that Jason, like Earl Carter feels that Bishop Blake owes them something and has to explain or justify his actions with them prior to making a decision.  As indicated in White’s letter Bishop Blake met with him for all of seven minutes to fire him, which indicates that Jason had to have known things were not good after 20 years.  A real son knows his father, White claims Blake was more than his boss so why attempt to front o him by writing an open letter and posting it on social media at 3:44pm (PST).  Clearly, White has entered a fight his is not equipped to win.  

Without question Bishop Blake is a spiritual leader, but he is also a CEO as well.  Now Judy Christie McAllister is back in LA and might be the reason Jason had to be eliminated to make room for her.  Bishop Blake most likely will not respond to White’s public attack and if he did not want to take the severance package then he has no one to blame, but himself.  The former Director of Music and Arts might have forgotten he founded and operated his own production company all while working at West A or the number additionally money making opportunities afforded unto him all because he worked for the Presiding Bishop of the Church Of God In Christ.  People do not get it twisted and think for one second you cannot be elimaited and things roll on without you.  Obnoxious Media reached out to Jason White, but he has yet to respond.

Developing……

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……Well, I told you she was back when I posted Jason White’s letter.  Officially Dr. Judith Christie McAllister, International Music Department President of the Church Of God In Christ is home at West Angeles rocking like only she can on Palm Sunday.  Now you all know that Jason White was told to kick rocks and he felt a little disgruntlal and wrote the Presiding Bishop and Pastor of West Angeles a four page letter on how disappointed he was to get dismissed after twenty years.  White talked about he only could recall two issues in his 20 year tenure at West A and that he refused the severance package offered by Blake.  

A.  Number of people have taken issue with Bishop Blake’s decision and feels he should have handled Jason differently.  Music people need to get a grip and come to the realization that they can be eliminated and the church will continue without them.  Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call to pastors and musicians that try to hold folks hostage because their talent.  Where did this idea come form that people are coming to the church because of the music and not The Word delivered by the Man of God.  Check yourself before you get the shock of your life like Jason did two days after he got his Stellar Award.  Pastor’s feel empowered to fire whoever the Lord and your finances deem necessary and all you wild ass, out of control, whores and whore monger musicians get in check.  

  
I know one pastor that I will not call name that felt he had to take a great deal of crap off his Misnister of Music and ai would constantly try to encourage him to put him out.  The poor man had such low self-esteem he actually felt if they people came to hear the Chior they might stay to hear me preach.  The spirit of control and witchcraft spread through the entire crew of trash that sang and played.  The more they did the more I raise hell on the phone until finally one Sunday Night while serving the Lord’s Supper he did a grand trun on my que and caught those unruly, disrespectful, trashy singers mocking him in his own church!  It was on and popping and he told every last one to “Get The Hell Out Of His Church,”. I shouted like I was going to loose my mind.  Pastors if you think someone is more important at your church then you and the Lord then you need to shut it down!

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……It looks like Adrienne Bailon isn’t on vacation in Tulum, Mexico alone. Photos have surfaced of The Real co-host with an older gentlemen, and he’s definitely not her father.  In fact the older grey bearded man looks just like recently divorced Grammy Winning Gospel Artist Israel Houghton.  It seems that he might have been having a fling with Adrienne, who is young enough to be his daughter, for a while now.  Members of the Obnoxious Street Committee say the two of them ened previous relationships to be with each other.

The couple were caught kissing and canoodling in the ocean and along the beach at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa.  Not the typical behavior of a so called Man of God.  Israel might be giving the church something they are not ready for yet.  Just one hour after Houghton announced on his Facebook page that he had divorced his wife after twenty years of marriage and his cheating.  Now we know why he finally told his ex-wife Meleasa to kick rocks!  This old player snatched him a young chick on TV everyday.  Go ahead Big Dogg!

 But if you’re wondering if this is indeed Bailon and not some woman who bares a striking resemblance, notice she is wearing the exact same swimsuit in the photo she posted with an iguana 2 days ago.  Checked her Instagram and it is an exact match.  Israel did not even seem to try to be the least be modest, but was behaving like a young teenager inlove.  Now will he have what it takes to keep Adrienne satisfied and work around that big belly?

Adrienne Bailon, who ended her relationship with ex-fiance Lenny Santiago back in September 2015, has said she has a thing for older men, and recently posted a photo of Jack Nicholson as her MCM. We guess she wasn’t kidding.  Obnoxious Media would like to know if she calls him Daddy?  Standing by for the two of them to make a big announcement!  

Here are some additional details on this new couple below:

Adrienne Bailon has a new curvy beach bod to match the lumps, bumps, rolls, and belly of her boyfriend, who happens to be a Grammy-winning gospel singer, and she showed off both on a Mexican holiday.

The boyfriend first … Israel Houghton is a famous Gospel artist who is a 6 time Gospel Grammys Award Winner.  It seems they KINGHT have been messing around on and off for some time now.  Adrienne appeared in the 2013 movie Israel produced called, “I’m in Love with a Church Girl.”

Israel just recently became officially available, although he’s been seeing Adrienne for a while. They began legitimately dating after he divorced his wife of 20 years earlier this year.

Obnoxious Breaking News Meets Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……Well, Israel Houghton issues another official response via his Facebook Page.  The six time Grammy Awards Winning Gospel Arist is acting more like a Rapper as of late. Now the Internet is buzzing about Adrienne Bailon, co-host of The Real caught on the beach together in Mexico.  The couple was hugged up kissing swimming and hanging out as it no one would recognize the two of them.  Now it was just two months ago Israel took to Facebook to tell the world after 20 years he had divorced his wife Meleasa.  God has a way of letting everything done in the dark to come to the light.  At his own admission Israel stated he was not faithful to his wife and had several affairs.  Seems what he failed to tell us was that he met Adrienne when she was in a movie he was the producer of entitled “Church Girl.”  The new couple met then a seem to have become involved and maintained their relationship.  Neither of them were exactly single and had to call it quits on their relationships to be with each other.  

Israel is rapidly loosing all credibility and seems to be a real sleaze bag in reality.  Dude might have been a wolf in sheep clothing all the time and the Siants was to dump to see him for who and what he really was.  All we are going to be able to think about the next times he performs is that he was cuddled up with a woman that he looks like he could be father.  To add insult to injury, Israel makes a weak attempt to downplu his being caught practically in the very act of adultery he attempts to use the terriost attack in Brussels, Belgium as a menthod to divert the attention off of him being busted as a lier, adulterer, and looks like fornicator.  He actually starts off by saying that we should be more concerned about that then his fat tail laying up with is girlfriend that he is almost old enough to be her daddy (wonder if Adrienne calls Israel DADDY when he is hitting it).  Stop making excuses!  Surely your sins will find you out.  You all can make excuses, justify, rationalize, say all have sinned, judge not, and any other Bibical reference, but it will not stop the truth from being the truth or you having been busted.

Honestly this is a great disappointment because it seemed that Israel was one of the last good guys and to find out it was all just a front for who he really is.  You can count on Obnoxious to call you what you are!  If you are a liar, we are going to call you by your name, a thief, homosexual, lesbian, whore, whore monger, and what every else you do that can be identified. The church is in a said demonic state and no one wants to offend anyone.  Well, let me make you good and Mad.  If calling you a name is going to be what it takes for you to get mad and get yourself together the get ready.  Church has become a den of thieves instead of a House of Prayer.  We have enough time and space to discuss world news and the lives of the so called saints.  We should not be surprised at the arrogance of the accused when they are busted in sin and still wanting to operate in error, but we know if he is bold enough to be on the beach with his fat belly out and full gray beard then you know he does care what he looks like then surely we can not expect him not to follow this blueprint for distraction.  

Read Israel Houghton Offical response below:
In the midst of all that’s going on in the world… Suffering, terrorism, deciding a future for our country, and making the world safer; It is sad that I am even having to address this matter… I understand that gossip and salacious untrue speculative stories are far more interesting and entertaining than the truth & facts. But, it’s incredibly unfair to allow someone to carry the burden, blame & shame of something they had nothing to do with…

I met Adrienne Bailon a bit over 2 years ago, we worked together & became friends… Our circles connected & we remained good friends. From a friendship, as two single adults we have very recently begun to explore a dating relationship.

As I previously wrote in a statement I released a while back, My marriage had been over for quite some time before going public with my divorce announcement. 

Where I shared, or as some have pointed out ‘over-shared’ my failure in my marriage… From over 5 years prior. It seems to be simple math that I had not even yet met Adrienne during the time my marriage was falling apart.

It deeply saddens me that an innocent party would be dragged into this situation that I have taken personal responsibility for. Adrienne is a woman of integrity & character… Most of all she is a true friend, and she should not be blamed for my past indiscretions. I assure you – I am willing to own my wrongs and I have in the past. God knows & sees all things. I appreciate your prayers, and I join you in praying for the issues of life that truly matter today all over the world.

The funeral arrangements for Gospel Music Great Daryl Coley have been released.  It seems their will only be one service on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at City of Refuge Los Angeles where Bishop Noel Jones is pastor.  Rumors of all these other services and musical tributes are not included on the official release from the deceased family.  People let this be a time to reflect on the great gift this man was to the Body of Christ and not allow a bunch of rumors and conjecture overshadow his Homegoing Service.  Time and time again we have done it in the past, but this opportunity to show the world something different.

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……Israel Houghton posted on Facebook there are far more important things going on in the world the who he is sleeping with, but Joel Osteen was not buying that BS excuse.  Joel seems to have followed Bishop Charles Blake lead, who recently fired his Minister of Music Jason White.  Timeout for allowing talented individuals to hold churches and pastors hostage while singing about God while living for the Devil. 

Despite going public and explaining his relationship with Adrienne Bailon, Israel Houghton is professionally feeling the sting of cheating rumors.According to RadarOnline, Houghton has been put on indefinite leave as a minister at Joel Osteen‘s Texas-based Lakewood Church, a position he held for five years. The action comes amid talk that surfaced about Houghton cheating on his wife Meleasa after 20 years of marriage as well as the super-church’s website mysteriously eliminating him from its website.
Speaking with Radar, a rep for Lakewood Church confirmed that Houghton is no longer part of the fold after announcing his divorce amid cheating rumors in February.
  
“Lakewood Church released Israel Houghton from his responsibilities as a worship leader [in February] and placed him on indefinite leave, rep for the church told the site. “Since that time, he has not been featured in any Lakewood Church related activities.”
“Lakewood Church is not at liberty to discuss publicly any details regarding Israel’s personal situation, but stands ready to provide Israel with spiritual counseling and guidance should he choose to seek it,” the rep continued.
Houghton’s indefinite leave follows the singer’s public revelation of his relationship with Bailon after pictures surfaced of the couple enjoying time together on a Mexican getaway at the Dreams resort in Tulum over the weekend.

Upon announcing he and Meleasa were splitting up, Houghton was still wearing a wedding band and admitted at the time that he had “failed and sinned” against his wife.
Despite all the talk of Bailon being the cause of the end of his marriage, Houghton fired back on social media on Tuesday (Mar. 22), saying the 32-year-old “The Real” co-host was not the other woman.
“In the midst of all that’s going on in the world… Suffering, terrorism, deciding a future for our country, and making the world safer; It is sad that I am even having to address this matter,” Houghton wrote on Facebook.
“I met Adrienne Bailon a bit over 2 years ago,” on the set of the movie I’m In Love with a Church Girl, he explained. “As two single adults we have very recently begun to explore a dating relationship.”

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God meets Drug Dealers And Killers Strike Again……Willie Bell II, Pastor of 1st Methodist Church in Ceder Hill might have a jail house ministry if he is found guilty on the very serious charges he is facing.  The Pastor and Allstate Insurance Agent has been popped by the police for sexually assaulting a six-year-old boy.  According to the authorities he lured the little boy into a secluded area of a apartment complex to do only God knows what to the little boy.  Obnoxious Media is working on the details of this sleaze bag preacher that likes to rape and molest little boys.  Now it seems that this might be a pattern of behavior by Willie, which is why the police is asking if there are any other victims to come forward.  

Willie Bell II, according to his Facebook page is a up and coming Gospel Music artist and is friends with a number of well known individuals in the church and Gospel music industry.

Jesse Jackson might join the church and even addressed the General Assembly on Tuesday Morning.  The Civil Rights Leader was in Memphis for an event commemorating the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Civil Rights Museum the night prior.  King delivered his final speech, I Have Been To The Mountain Top, the night before he was killed at Mason Temple.  

It was a little drama Tuesday afternoon with Bishop Wilson from Nova Scotia  that has been suspended for being for being a polygamist.  It seems he has three living wives and he is married to all of the simultaneously. Two of them he did not legally divorce.  It is just a wonder he is not in prison.  Now he did not show up to face the Board Of Bishops during the Holy Convocation last November.  His excuse for not attending was his was ill with cancer and since has died.  

Clearly, Wilson is not aware of the scripture that says “Let every bishop be the husband of one wife,” he said the church owed him an apology, but he will be waiting until Hell freezes over for that one.  Dude needs to be quite and get him a good attorney to divorce those other to women.

Bishop Blake had no problem addressing the lies being told on him by Earl Carter.  The Presiding Bishop declared he was not going down on a lie.  Standing flat foot and boldly telling the General Assembly the allegations are not true and he was going to fight to preserve his good name.  Earl was not bold enough to show his face in Mason Temple or his crazy friend Thomas Cross, who has a great deal in common with Wilson.  The two of them enjoy having multiple wives.  After all variety is the spice of life.

Read some text messages from several COGIC bishops that are members of my Obnoxious Street Committee below:

Obnoxious:  Who is this Wilson that just went to the mic?
Bishop:  Had 3 wives….and impregnated another woman. Bishop of Nova Scotia 

Obnoxious:  That is him I heard about it, but never posted on him!

Bishop:  Yes. ….we had a trial scheduled for him in the board of bishops, he refused to show, and trusted to meet with the grievance committee 

Obnoxious:  WTF!  He has three living wives?

Bishop:  Hell Yeah!  Ha! Yes…..supposedly he did not divorce two of them legally 

Obnoxious:  So you guys took him down?

Bishop:  The BOB Voted against him because he didn’t show or respond ….he waited to appeal after Kyles trial …..They are having a meeting with him right after dismissal.  He was suspended for 2 years.

Obnoxious:  Wow!  He is a polygamist!

Bishop:  Yes!  Hell I have enough trouble keeping up with my one damn wife and this fool got 3!  I will update you after our BOB meeting.

Obnoxious:  Why is it taking you so long with the update?  I told you I do not like waiting!  This is COGIC B613 Bishop!  What went on with Bishop Klyes?  Poor man!  It is so sad!

Bishop:  I am sorry Sir William Just got my phone!  Nothing public ….the general board is awaiting the appeal ….nothing to be done before August!  Bishop Blake just started are you in the Temple?

It has been discovered the remains of the individual found deceased at Prince’s estate was in fact him!

The artist known as Prince has died … According to TMZ has learned. He was 57. 

Prince’s body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.
Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed.

The singer — full name Prince Rogers Nelson — had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

Prior to his most recent appearance however, Prince had cancelled two shows due to health concerns. 

Prince became an international superstar in 1982 after his breakthrough album “1999.” 

He went on to churn out a ton of hits — and racking up 7 Grammys in the process. He also performed at the Super Bowl in 2007 … in one of the greatest live performances of all time. 

He also sold more than 100 million records during his career … and the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score for Purple Rain in 1985. 

Prince was married two times — the first time to his backup dancer Mayte Garcia. They split in 2000. He then married Manuela Testolini … but they split in 2006.
