Bro. Gary Hawkins 15: Not Sweet Fellowshipping with JRod - Yet

Would have been sorta cute, if, y'know, Gary wasn't a hateful dick.

Heh. You lurch your right hand left, you lurch your right hand right, you lurch your right hand left, and try not to shake it off...

[thoughtful]

Gary got a question under last night's video. Now, I'm generally not one to mock names, but the fact that Ms. Bedwell asked about Pastor Dull is straight out of Dickens!

[TeddyBonkers]

Gary has unfriended me! However shall I go on?

What killed me about his truck rant was him going on about schools. Doesn't he subscribe to the idea of kids doing schooling at home?

[thoughtful]

This morning's video, of a service at Lighthouse Baptist in Altoona, is a fairly short one, but it's a doozy.

It begins with Redeemed, screamed, then a prayer accompanied by Gary's moaning. They take up a collection for Gary, while the pianist tries to play Slane (the melody for Be Thou My Vision).

They all shriek Oh, It's Wonderful to be a Christian. The Hawkinses groan God's Been Good and I Can't Quit. 

Gary warns them "Y'all gonna have to bear with me, I don't have no notes. I know this is what God wownts, so ah figure He wownts it, He'll git it out there, Amen?"

Gary - master of the humble-brag. I'm expecting what follows to fit only the vaguest description of "speaking."

He reads Job 1:1-15, stopping to comment now and then, including reminding us, after verse 1, "we still need some people who will exchew evil," so he gets to mispronounce eschew twice. It is still better than his old pronunciation, "eskew."

After verse three, which only tells us how wealthy Job was, Gary says "Ah wanna say somethin' to ya - ah wonder if people could say that about us today."

Um, Gar - wouldn't that have been better after a verse about what a good person Job was?

Verse five, KJV (referring to Job's children): And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them
BGV: And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sacrificed - and sacrificed them

Yes, in two tries, it still came out sacrificed. That would have ended the story more quickly!

Job was upright and trustworthy, as people used to be. Gary's daddy has told him many times that, when he was in his teens and 20s, he could go down to the bank and just tell them how much he needed, and they'd give it to him "without any raclatteral."

Really, Gary? As a loan? A gift? Are you sure he wasn't taking his own money out of his own account?

To give Gary some credit, he does manage to pronounce "collateral" correctly later.

But Gary's subject today is not how good Job was - it's Are You Ready for What's In the Hour? As he goes on, he seems to think he is helping them with their lack of a pastor and internal struggles. But, this is Gary, so who knows?

Unexpected things happen.

Gary says that nobody was ready for Covid-19 - January and February were great, then suddenly, in March, it destroyed everything, and we've been living in socialism ever since, and Gary's sick of it and ready to get America back.

Um, Gary . . . oh, never mind.

Gary does some of his usual spew about the book of Job. He always defends Job's wife for wanting him to curse God, because she is a woman whose children have all suddenly died. But today he says she's upset at watching her husband suffer, and tries a joke: "she's really mad because he lost her Walmart money."

He says something about trials not lasting forever, then "Lighthouse Baptist Church, listen hey, it may look, listen hey, but don't let the community find out how bad things are, amen? They do not - they're lost and on their way to Hell, you need to keep it as quiet as possible, amen?"

This gets lots of loud, heartfelt amens and other agreement.

Gary tells us all about various people's illnesses and deaths, of course. Even with a new angle, he can't miss the juiciest part of both the book of Job and the theme of being ready!

Covid's messed up everything, or maybe it's just messed up some things, because people are using it to be anti-Christian. Gary can't seem to be consistent about that.

Gary sounds horrified and angry because people are letting their pictures be taken with masks on, like it's something shameful to be caught wearing one. He says that if Becky takes a picture of him in one, she'll be sleeping with "less than the dog."

Gary, there's no shame in wearing a mask. It's not like being . . . NEKKID (NSFW) -

Spoiler

ETA - wait! Does his fear of Becky taking his picture in a mask mean that Gary has actually worn one?

I think he gets to the next part because he's trying to say that the devil makes the things that are bad for us look attractive, and more accessible. But, of course, it's also an excuse to complain and brag about his diet.

"Hey, listen, on the part of this diet thing that ah have chosen to do, 'n' ah'm gonna tell ya raht now sometahm ah wonder wha, becowse ah sure do love food about as good as anybody else - but y'know  what? Y'know  what? When you go to buyin' food that are - that is good for you, you know how much more it costses than it does for the good stuff? No wonder nobody don't afford - don't go on diets! Listen, they cain't AFFORD it! Ya say 'whatchu do?' Ah jes' chose not to eat, 'cause ah cain't afford this stuff, amen."

What's the matter, Gary - can't you grift fruits and vegetables from your hosts?

He drifts back to the issues of Lighthouse Baptist.

"Ah've never seen a church like it was - now this is when ah first started comin' here -  of how tidy, how neat y'all was." He sniffs. "But the devil seen that and ya know what he didn't like it."

I guess some man is not wearing a tie, or has hair long enough to touch his collar, or some other horrible, devil-inspired thing, like a woman in flip-flops.

They have to come together and not blame one another for hurt, because (very dramatically) "People have been hurtin' people FOR DECADES!"

Maybe even longer than that, Gary.

The devil can make people think they're better than someone else. "Don't think you're not exempt from that, 'cause you ain't."

"Ah keer about Lighthouse as much as you do, ya know wha? Because ah keer about the next church ah'm goin' to, and next church ah'm goin' to, and the next church ah've been to, amen!"

He tells us that he's going to embarrass his wife. Last night, Becky got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and "lahk a good husband, ah slept through it amen." When she came back, she said she needed him to help her get back into bed.

I guess he helped - he doesn't say. But it seems that the fact that she woke him up for help getting back into bed didn't alarm him at all. He still sounds like it was as unimportant as if she said hello.

In the morning, he went into the bathroom and noticed that the "nozzle what the water comes out's layin' in the tub, broke." He roars that he knows it wasn't broke when he took a shower (why that has to be yelled, I don't know), and went into the bedroom to ask Becky about it.

Becky tells him she passed out last night, and that's why the faucet is broken.

And that's where he ends the story.

Well, Gary got another example of how unexpected things happen, and, in the end, isn't that all that matters?

BTW, later he mentions it again, but only to repeat their host's joke, telling them not to worry about the damage, because he was going to destroy his bathroom anyway.

Not a word about Gary's fear for his wife's health, his love for her, plans to see a doctor, or even to reassure the congregation that it was due to a known condition and was a fluke, or that Becky wasn't hurt in the fall - nothing. And, of course, Becky is there in church, only hours after this happened, expected to video, sing and play the piano.

?    

Gary,

Spoiler

Now, obviously it's none of my business. But, since Gary gave us that much information, I can't help wondering how Becky fell. Was she walking past the tub and fell over the side of it and/or grabbed at the faucet as she passed out? Sounds pretty serious.

Did she not make it to the toilet on time (for either of the usual functions or to vomit) and got in the shower to clean up, then passed out (a series of events that are indicative of possibly serious things)?

Do I care more about her health and dignity than Gary does? If that was my spouse, we'd both be at the hospital, and work appointments and expectations would be canceled. I sure AF wouldn't make it part of an anecdote to tell a bunch of people.

More deaths and illnesses, including his pastor friend in New York who is "BOUND to a wheelchair."

Gary, I saw Brother Mike in your videos. He did not look like this:

Spoiler

That pic, BTW, was made to show how ridiculous that expression is:

https://incl.ca/wheelchair-bound-i-dont-think-so/

Gary fancies up his usual image of how embarrassing it will be on Judgement day to have everybody else see our sins, by saying they will shown on a "big screen television."

But, Gary, God hates television!

Hey, there are already logos:

Spoiler

  

The last few minutes, of course, are more gore and horror and warnings not to leave unsaved, in case you die in a car accident on the way home.

"UNEXPECTED THANGS are gonna happen."

Well, maybe some things, but my expectations that Gary would barely make sense were pretty solidly fulfilled.

 I hope Becky gets the medical help she needs.

In tribute to the first song sung at today's service, with apologies to Fanny Crosby and William Kirkpatrick, and in loving memory of the vocal cords of the children:

We screamed, and my throat, now I’ve maimed it!
We screamed – is that blood? Oh, Goddamn!
We screamed at an infinite volume,
Our larynxes all have gone “BAM!”

Refrain:
We screamed, we screamed,
We screamed ‘bout the Blood, that’s our jam!
We screamed, we screamed,
Our larynxes all have gone “BAM!”

We screamed to the church about Jesus,
No language came through very well.
Too bad if they can’t understand us,
It’s their fault if they burn in Hell!

[Refrain]

Now, Jesus wants me as a screamer,
‘Cause sunbeams are not near as strong.
I shriek, ‘cause I think that is singing,
And shove out the words of the song.

[Refrain]

Rehearsing at home shatters glass bulbs,
So we never have any light.
Good thing God is guarding my footsteps,
‘Cause I need to gargle all night!

[Refrain]

Well, he usually has some - whether he follows them varies.

But he usually has eight specific points he wants to make in each message. Now and then I hear him say "I wanna say, number three," "number four, I wanna say" etc.

Doesn't that just blow your mind?

Good grief.  Becky passed out or fell and he's just using it as a jokey anecdote?  I know that his remarks about wives in general are mean and petty.  Usually we just hear Becky laughing along when he makes some reference to his wife spending his money or not behaving in what he considers to be an appropriate way.  But, what the hell?  She broke the faucet so she went down pretty hard one way or another.  

I guess if it doesn't concern Gary's health, he doesn't much care.  Has he thought about what he'd do if Becky wasn't there to fix his food, remind him of things, or correct his pronunciations?  Never mind.  He'd just make Jacob do everything.

There is so much wrong with that whole thing. He slept through Becky not only managing to fall like a dead weight and break the faucet, but also asking for help to get back into bed? Losing consciousness like that is not a good sign at all, and needing help to get into bed on recovery isn't either. 

And then Gary decides to tell the story to "embarrass" her? I hope a couple of people in the congregation were concerned enough to suggest she get checked out.

In our old house, my partner and I slept in separate rooms. (Our old house had two en-suite bedrooms.) I am an extremely light sleeper, and my partner is a extraordinarily restless sleeper. Not a good combination. 

One night, I woke up after I fell in my bathroom, with sufficient force that I dislodged the glass doors on the shower. It was loud enough that it woke my partner in another part of the house, and he came in to pick me up and assess damages. I was bruised but otherwise okay, aside from being totally freaked out. The bruising lasted for weeks. Amazingly, the glass doors did not break, and my partner was able to reseat them on the track. 

Based on that incident, and a few others over the years that were not quite so dramatic, I realized that I occasionally sleepwalk. (0ne incident was where I woke up in the hall of the hotel we were staying in, outside the locked door. My partner hadn't returned yet, so I had to walk downstairs to the lobby. Fortunately, I was wearing my baby doll pajamas.) I did not realize I sleepwalk until late middle-age. It is evidently pretty rare in adults.  It does make me very careful about furniture placement in the bedroom. I am happy that our current house has no stairs.

Thank you for reminding me of this - I hadn't even thought of it. I didn't remember any response from the congregation or Becky. I just went and listened again, and there is no sound from Becky.

I'm not going to watch the whole video again, but I don't remember her usual giggle at any point. After hearing this story while watching last night, I did go back and watch Becky go to and from the piano, and didn't see a limp, or bandages, or anything else out of the ordinary.

I imagine Becky was not happy about Gary telling this story, but I would bet she was mostly embarrassed that he was talking about private stuff. The fact that he is so cavalier about her health may seem normal to her at this point.

She may even participate in it. I imagine there is a lot of "I'm a nurse, I'm the expert, I'm telling you I'm fine" coming from her, but I also bet he's thrilled to know that her health problems won't interrupt his schedule.

Most ER trips in my family have come after persuading a person who kept insisting they were fine that they needed to go to the hospital. The "I'm fine" patient is no excuse, Gary.

BTW, after abruptly ending the story, here's what Gary said next:

"Y'know what, health issues don't always - listen, if you like pain and agony 'n' all that kinda stuff, listen hey, let me know, and ah'll see if the Lord'll letchu have mah arthurahtis amen?"

Yes, it's all about Gary. Poor, poor Gary.

I mock Gary because he is so shitty. I'd never make fun of someone just for having word retrieval problems (I have those, as did my Dad) or an accent (we all have one, to someone's ears), or for being uninformed, not bright or just a clown. You wouldn't either, from what I've seen.

It's the combination of his monstrous history, arrogance, bringing all of the qualities of a drunk trying to pick a fight in a bar to his ministry, faux "hillbillly country boy" facade, buffoonery, etc. that makes him snarkable.

It sometimes comes out as rage, disgust or incredulity, sometimes as humor (or I handle my rage, disgust or incredulity with humor).

I was worried about the same thing.  Then, I noticed on a similar post that Jill Rod did on her Facebook page about Trump that Gary had commented.  I think he just said "Trump 2020".  I suppose all the fundie Trumpers are high-fiving each other on Facebook about the debate.

Yeah, Trump sure owned Biden last night. In some parallel universe, I suppose. Who was Trump's other foe? Chris Wallace? SERIOUSLY?!?!?

That's their thinking. To them, Wallace is the guy from Fox who, weirdly, doesn't worship Trump. Last night, he tried to stop Trump from talking nonstop the entire time and didn't squeal, "Oooooh, what a brilliant point! Bravo, Sir, bravo!" at Trump when he could get a word in edgewise.

So, yeah - horrible, opposing, evil foe./s

So... if no matter what the outcome God is in control then you might as well vote Biden.  And you might even get lucky and get some socialism!

[griffin]

Wow, I'm so glad I haven't voted yet. Gary was on today and and I'm so grateful he really explained the election for me!

He's been doing his ex-tercises and eating grapes and watermelon which are made of water cuz there's nothin' fattenin' in 'em. He claims he's lost 50 pounds but he hasn't been on a scale and won't wear a mask into a doctor's office.  (He doesn't look 50 pounds different to me). He's also eating chicken noodle soup cuz the only things fattening are the crackers and the noodles.

Anyhoo,

Biden is a little puppet! (wave your arms when you read that) Harris is a puppet.  At the debate, he had earpieces on and a piece on his uh uh uh wrist. AND  he had something in his EYES real good you could see. (Gare didn't understand all of it). If the Democrats win, you'll have socialism. No jobs. You can forgit about church services. They're going to take them away and you'll go to jail if you go to church. If the Democrats win, neither he nor Harris (he doesn't know her first name but he knows she's not black) will be vice or president. Nancy Pelosi will BE THE PRESIDENT. She is going to pick someone to be vice president and it won't be Harris. And that real tall guy ... Beeto is the one who's going to come and git yer guns. If your want socialism, vote for them. (Now remember ... this is all if the lord tarries his comin'). If the lord don't come, he's votin' red all the way. Republican all the way. Now I'm gonna say somethin' to ya, there's not a Christian that'll vote wrong. Donald Trump is the only choice we have if you want four more good years of knockin' on doors and tellin' people about  Jesus and preachin' the gospel of the death berryal and resurrection of Jesus. If you want socialism and you don't want church I mean hey. Here's his advice -  Vote Donald Trump. Trump is the only one that's for religion, none of the rest of them are.

I feel so well-informed and prepared now, don't you???

Well, "scales don't travel."

He really is evangelizing for dieting and exercise now, including the insincere "I don't think I'm better than you, I've just made a decision" crap. I wonder if he will add that as a bonus to his door-knocking, telling strangers they are too fat, as well as in danger of burning in Hell.

"I do not have no doubt. that I am . . . not losin' acres of land  , , ,"

(amused by his errror) ". . . ha ha acres of land - acres of weight, but ah have lost, sence the last of June, ah have lost . . . 50 pounds or better."

As @griffin (hey  - I just thought of this - are you any relation to Andy Griffin, who had all that fornicatin' on his show?) pointed out, he has no way of knowing that.

He says he's doing Walk Away the Pounds. But Gary, that's led by a woman! Are you watching the videos? It looks to me like, by your standards, the people in them are NEKKID!

Not to mention, his description of what "Leslie Sampson or somethin' lahk that" does is . . . well, read it for yourselves:

"That makes you, listen hey, she moves you in all the different ways." And "doin' the things that she does, it keeps me . . . wahd open."

I like his invented adjective for most fattening - "fattenest." He then morphs it with fattening, and comes up with "fattenesting."

He also tried chicken in "a air frer."

Y'know, like fried, but with air. Becky had to tell him what it was called.

He's not giving up everything - he's had potatoes and even Chahnese, but he's not overdoing it. "Ah'm not engulgin' in this food."

Hmmm . . .engulging  . . .  a mash-up of indulging and engorging, perhaps?

He doesn't add anything to his coffee. "Ah know it's racist today, but ah still drink it black."

Nothing about his demeanor indicates that he thought that was a joke. Does he think people accuse others of being racist just for saying the word black?

Gary says that watermelon is a good vegetable, and tells us how it made him get up 6-7 times in one night to go to the bathroom. Thanks, Gary - I really, really, needed to know how often you drained the snake that night.

The people who host them have now started calling ahead of time to find out what supplies to lay in. Gary told them grapes and watermelon.

Silly me, I imagined he'd say "nothing, thanks - I have taken jobs to earn money, and tucked it away in savings over the years, to buy my own food."

But then I woke up.

You did a great job recapping the Gary-spew of his political rant, @griffin, but you forgot to tell us that "Robberson, ah don't know his first name," his choice for "assistant to Don Forest"  (that would be the candidate for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, to the rest of us) is a "black feller." See?

He told us that twice, @griffin! See, Gary's not racist, as long as you don't shove race down his throat! After all, his Daddy loves banana pudding, but he doesn't want it shoved down his throat.

Oh, and Gary's going to vote for "that Tilly fella" (Senator Thom Tillis, to the rest of us) because he's Republican, even though he didn't like the way his office talked to him.

And I have never seen a pissier pissy face than the one Gary makes after he leans into the camera  and tells us about a person he knows who wore "the mask" faithfully, and "steel got it."

Spoiler

 

The crossed arms seal it - that's some primo, top tier pissy face. He even repeats, pointing to his mouth, that the mask was "over their math, it was over their nose" and they got it! He re-sets his pissy face, re-crosses his arms, shoves his hands deep into his armpits, then:

Spoiler

He has won such a victory, knowing that someone who wore a mask got Covid-19. I wonder if he gives a shit how that person is doing. I hope they're OK.

He attempts a joke about not being on "the road to da-mask-us" like Paul (um, Gary, isn't metaphorically being on the road to Damascus usually considered a good thing? I don't think your  blindness will go away in three days, dude - I think it's permanent), and tells us proudly how he walked into Cracker Barrel without a mask, and plans to do so in other restaurants.

What a hero.

And by hero, I mean, of course . . .

I guess one or both of these is the nonsense about Biden's eyes that Gary saw:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-wire/

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-biden-eyes-black-debate-idUSKBN26L2U5

Sounds like the first is most likely, since it is about the high-tech stuff they were imagining.

Gary, who lectures others about cutting the cords off of their TVs and not listening to news, got, and instantly swallowed, these conspiracy theories from listening to several talk shows.

I notice that his "Pelosi will be president" nonsense has gotten more detailed. Who do the nuts think she will pick as her VP, Gary? We need to know!

Oh, and Gary - that thing on Biden's wrist (not "risk," as you pronounced it) is a rosary that belonged to his now-deceased son, which he always wears. I know you don't think Catholics are Christians, but I sort of doubt that a man who wears a rosary all the time is going to put people in jail for going to church.

But maybe I'm wrong - I mean, you sound so sure.

[thoughtful]

I wasn't going to bother with this one, since it's redundant, but then I noticed "except." I love it when Gary's errors in speaking and writing completely reverse his meaning.

I wonder if Gary went out walking this morning, maskless, puffing away and praying for poor infected Trump.

Hope he's heard that Pence tested negative (so far). It might forestall the inevitable theory that the Democrats have purposely been trying to give Trump and Pence Covid, to get Nancy Pelosi into the White House sooner.

[Xan]

I have to admit that I'm surprised that Gary hasn't posted anything about praying for Trump.  He's known about it all day.  I'm aware that he says he doesn't watch television but, c'mon.  He's certainly heard about Trump by now.  Does he just not want to admit that the Covid virus is dangerous?

He did post this today:
