The scenario wasn’t Flightplan, the Mrs. isn’t Jodie Foster, and the matter at hand was nowhere near as important as Jodie Foster’s daughter in that movie, so my tack on that matter is that everyone has problems on flights.
DEAL WITH IT, TV EVANGELISTS. You’re going to have to deal with real life situations just like everyone else who has a pulse. Not EVERY situation is an opportunity to scream about your rights and dominion in Christ. You don’t have to act like you’re taking authority over every situation you encounter. So get over yourself, and start acting like a human being with flesh and blood.
Look, let me tell you what happened to me.
In June of 2002, I was flying in to Raleigh, North Carolina from Austin, Texas on Southwest Airlines, flying one-way. Well the “Almighty Southwest Airlines” that claims to have lower fares couldn’t get me a ticket for less than $255.00. Then I got in line before everyone else, ending up 7th in line at the boarding area, so I could get first seats, get up front, and get off first. Well, I’m white with blue eyes, but for some reason, they pulled me out of the line, and checked me over and over and over, and I had to take a lot of my clothes off. By the time they got done checking me I was last in line of 60-something passengers, and had to be in the very back of the plane.
Well, then I got on the plane, and there was a delay. Then the kids started screaming, and wouldn’t shut up talking very loudly the whole flight. Then, mid-flight, we started hitting some bad turbulence. Then, the stewards and stewardesses were dressed unprofessionally, and acted very aloof and distant. Then we got on the ground, and we hit the landing area VERY hard, so much so that some seasoned passengers gasped as we made touched down.
Then, because of the morons at the gate who put me last in line from 7th in line, I had to wait 20 or 30 minutes to get off the plane because all the people were moving very slowly and hadn’t gathered their belongings efficiently enough to get off with order and precision. Then after we got off the plane, I found out that the Southwest Airlines mechanics were about to go on strike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I raise holy hell to Southwest Airlines?? NO!
But I don’t ever have to fly on their airline again, either.
It’s called “having a problem, and dealing with it”.
And then you have these Christians who won’t believe ANYTHING reported by the secular media.
Christians see VIDEO FOOTAGE of a TV evangelist pushing a 98-year-old woman down the stairs, and they say, “Well, maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Ministers are under lots of pressure, you know.”
