For those of us who have not experienced LSU Union Preachers, here's a link to an article about them:
Free Speech Alley - Louisiana State University
The above pictures [link below], taken from The Daily Reveille, show Brother Britt Preaching at LSU's "Free Speech Alley" in the late 1980's.
Brother Britt began his open-air ministry at LSU and it continues today with Consuming Fire Fellowship's bi-weekly visits to campus to preach the gospel.
I know it is fun to joke about these guys but here are some little known facts. Back in the late 90's, the leader, Britt Williams, tried to faith-heal his best friend. The friend died. Before that, he was trying to faith-heal his best friends son who also died. Recently, his wife gave birth to a severely brain-damaged baby boy because he convinced her that she should rely on faith instead of timely medical intervention and prenatal care (this after a previous history of problems in childbirth). He has been involved in at least two other serious botched faith-healings. He runs his organization like a cult, roaming around looking for the emotionally unstable to prey upon. Make fun of them if you want, but understand that these people cause real serious harm to those within their grasp.
As my picture suggests, I was made in the womb. After residing approximately 9 months there, I noticed that my domicile was shrinking, and if I didn't act quick I was going to be without room. So out I went, and for 31 years I resided in South Louisiana with shorts stays in North Carolina, West Virginia, and one extended stay in Delaware.
I did my Undergrad at Louisiana State University in General Studies, which means I can speak about most things generally or about general things in an knowledgeable manner. I am also a founding Memeber of the LSU-Parousians. I completed my MA in theology from the University of Notre Dame by means of the ECHO program.
Because conversation is what makes blogging fun! All emails are possible material for blog post, so if you don't want it published tell me now or forever gasp and cringe. pcatalan (at) alumni (dot) nd (dot) edu

Your stuff never fails to crack me up laughing. Guess I'll go to hell for that, too.

How did I know what "C" was going to be?
Why is it Catholics generally make it onto the "Hell" lists? Are they just jealous?
