This Charles Keating video cracks me up.(He was the producer -not the announcer) Wikipedia writes that Mr Keating was convicted in December 1991 of 17 counts of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and that Mother Teresa asked the court to show leniency to Keating, in recognition of the considerable sums he had donated to her charitable operations. However, in April 1992, California Superior Court Judge Lance Ito gave Keating the maximum 10-year prison sentence, quoting Woody Guthrie's line that "More people have suffered from the point of a fountain pen than from a gun." Keating went to the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson to serve his time. ********** At times, we christians - though true believers are quite screwed up.
Dear Mr.T. This old educational video was part of a series of four - I think, but the announcer is weird because he seems to take delight in his "Christian Correction" The other segments are too graphic and really rather explicit to post. It seems to be pornographic whilst he condemns pornography! I think the announcer is totally repulsive and self righteous but I get that sometimes Christians probably come off that way.
We Christians are all mud slingers but without assistance we've all gotten pretty muddy on our own. Or maybe it's just me. :)
