TL;DR Conclusion - A satire of trenchant history: Conclusion? He's no “been there, done that” testimony! (originally posted 7/7/2025) #armchair...

Notional WALL-O'-TEXT: Coattails are like cocktails-on-vacation, they're included in the package & cocktails-on-vacation are like sneakin' pizza on a diet & sneakin' pizza on a diet's like building a mansion up the road & building a mansion up the road's like sneakin' cocktails-on-vacation. Maybe g & t or neat & cigars for whisky. But, Davis' coattails have markedly frayed since 2014. Mike's laurels have been high mileage for decades. Like any tippler's. It must've been hard being Davis lapdog, respected by him & with so many jobs. He imagines deserving more head-pats. Pride caused this. Tanya & Mike just imagine he's amazing. His tv viewers know he's not. So, at least word's getting out again & he's spreading it this time. He may be getting another award. Fingers crossed. Mike sneaked his hand in the cookie jar, so that's the bed he lies on. Folk's don't respect him, not just for marrying Tanya, this's just one reason. Have you seen the short of the chimp who wouldn't get his hand out of the jar (Graham) because he wouldn't let go of the little-goody (possessions)? What did he think would happen? Mike's preaching is like a chimp slinging poo & a chimp slinging poo [is]... Sorry, should this be, [is] normal chimp behavior or [is] like Mike's preaching; I like the first one, both are correct. 2+2=4 4=2+2. Forbidden fruit isn't sweet. The Bible teaches sin's bitter. Pride teaches sin's sweet. Mike imagines sin tastes sweet. Like with Tanya, maybe he doesn't sugar his coffee 'cause he imagines it sweet. So why not imagine disrespect is respect? Or, childless is with-child? Or a double-wide is a mansion? They imagine stay-getting is go-getting, so they've done it before. Mike's had 11-years to prove everyone wrong & now he's broadcasting in the interim & demanding head-pats on tv? RESPECT ME! This's what Kekel's ministry is. RESPECT ME! This's what Denis' ministry is. I hope to never experience again someone as vicious from the pulpit as Oloans. This's what Kinson's ministry will be. If it don't work, do it again. Pride makes folks act the same every time it's tried. Ashmore, Infausto, Gesang, me, Gaylord (RIP), makes no difference who we were. Makes no difference he gave 4-digits. Only right-now counts right-now. God don't credit laurels, just Christ. God looks for Christ right-now, not works. Works are dead-in-Christ. Yet, Mike sallies forth & grinds personal axes to tilt at imaginary giants. Everyone's a giant to a small person, so he demands RESPECT ME! with sparks flying. He's on tv with sparks flying. He preaches & teaches with sparks flying. He'll-fix-us-just-you-wait-&-see, with sparks flying. Not fire, nor flame, nor wind; sparks. Not water; sparks. No whirlwind; sparks. No faith, hope, charity; sparks. I lived in Sparks for maybe 3-weeks during my freewheeling' 1970s hitchhiking adventures. The_WHIRLWIND's at his best when sparks flying. A spark can't light the path. A spark's useless without oil. A spark promises, not delivers. A spark's potential, not realization. A spark's just grit & heat i.e. Mike's pastorate. Was sister Olson disgusted by Mike? Verna? Rodger? Mom & Pop were. I wasn't before 2025. I never much considered his children-preferred-bent since it was a don't-go-there topic while in. We quit in 2008. From 2010 to 2012 we blogged about other cult stuff. I finished my military 24+ in 2021 & social-security in 2023. I don't think I knew about their age-inappropriate conjugating until FACTNet & by then I'd been around 13 years by ignoring red-flags.
