When will people start calling out this guy? A nationally televised event and he can't keep his fingers off the breast of a girl young enough to be his granddaughter.

If he's doing this on tv, I'd hate to see what is going on behind closed doors.

There are, somewhat thankfully, now a zillion clips of it out.

It's not a good look [[the positioning of his fingers). Most Christian clergy/ pastors stay with handshakes or what we call the classic brief 'church hug' absent of any overtone.

Additionally, there was a great deal of comment re. her very short skirt at a funeral an event in a church.

I AM NOT saying that one thing justifies the other.

But it looks like they will both be a side discussion. Ellis even more so!

She's a young entertainer, not necessarily aware of how to dress in church. Her attire is more oriented for concerts.

Oh no, wow. She looked uncomfortable from the get go.

Back in the olden days folks would have said he was a foreigner because he had Russian fingers and Roman hands [[rushing and roaming)

Nowadays they just call him a creep or Mr President

Bill's got that "damn, why wasn't she on the podium with me" look on his face.

Yes, I caught that the first time I watched her performance.

I previously allluded to this but I’ll say it again, during the last recession, that Bishop Ellis guy used to show up at the golf course that I play all the time in a new Bentley.

**Meddle** · September-01-18, 07:17 PM

Why was that AG flake there at all?

I get your point, but don't blame him. If people are willing to support that kind of lifestyle, what can you do?

Because Aretha's family liked her singing of "Natural Woman" at the VMA's a week or so ago and invited her to sing at the funeral. Their call; she didn't ask to come

**Zacha341** · September-02-18, 11:16 AM

Yeah it is a personal choice towards that level of materialism or not. It's not a leadership style I'd be drawn to support.

But I'm aware of the support that church as provided to friends and family who are members or have had events there.

A-hah! Jesse Jackson can be seen casting very serious contemptuous glances at her and about, either side! Lots of memes will be made from the whole performance no doubt.

I just hope the Franklin family will tune out the negative factors [[which occur when you bring that many dispirit style of folks together) and focus on the love, sharing and support!

Solution: people need to stop patronizing his church. What is wrong with people that they support and attend places like that? There are literally hundreds of thousands of churches in this country; there are humble clergy in other churches and denominations that can preach a sermon and follow the teachings of Christ...though I must admit, they are few and far between...
