...I had already started swaying away from Oprah Winfrey when she started promoting the book "The Secret".  I love starting my journal like I am already in conversation.  I didn't believe in the book or it's new age philosphy.  A lot of the concepts and things were taken straight from the Bible and the Bible ain't no fricken secret!!!  But, to hear Oprah talk about it like it was the second coming of the Word, really started getting my mind to thinking.  IS OPRAH CRAZY!?!?!????  For awhile now, Oprah had been saying things like the "universe" or the "gods" or other generic things to describe the ALMIGHTY.  I know this, because I used to be an avid Oprah fan.  She used to have some dope stuff on, when I used to watch it.  I don't know about now, but I am not ashamed to say that I used to love watching me some Oprah.  Now, I prefer some Dr. Phil.  Man, have you been watching the last few episodes?  It is off the hook CRAZY!  Oh...ahem...oh yes, Oprah... 

As of late, I have really gotton a hold of what she is trying to teach.  Thanks to YOUTUBE.  YOUTUBE is the bomb.  Last night, I watched Andrew Bynum dunk on Shaq.  And then I watched all the dunks that Kobe did on people.  Oh, ahem...what was I talking about again...oh yea...Oprah, Jesus and how she denied HIM.  Wow! This New Age Philosphy is really kinda scary.  It is easy to believe.  Of course, I would love to believe that there is no sin and that there are many ways to get to Heaven.  Wouldn't my life be a whole lot easier, if I didn't have to be accounted for my actions?   Would I practically be killing myself to live right, if there was no living right? But that is just not the case....there is a right and wrong.  We must be held accountable for things or this world will go to Hell.  What am I saying?  It already has gone to hell.  And Oprah is adding to the hellish-ness.  She is directly preaching against the words of the Bible, yet still calling herself a Christian.  It would have been bad enough if she would have just kept her mouth shut and believed this bullcrap herself, but now she is trying to lead people to believe what she believes.  She is leading people against the teachings of the Bible.  She IS Oprah Winfrey.  She caused the meat industry to shut down.  She can change folks minds on Jesus.  She has that much power.  And the devil will use her to do just that. 

I know I am late on this topic.  I am late on a lot of things.  But, I am really kinda early cause like I said earlier, I knew this was coming.  I felt that she was gonna go astray.  And I know that some of you that are reading this MAY not be Christians and may stop reading my ramblings because of this, but should I change my beliefs to gain more readers?  This is what I believe...so this is what I write.  Nevertheless, I will probably still get emails from one or two of you telling me where I can go with my beliefs.  And that is fine.  Lemme know if you want to talk.  I am always down with that.  

Anyhoo, back to Oprah...nah, forget Oprah.  I have said everything that I wanted to say.  I need to pray.  I haven't been praying as much as I would like to for myself and my family...so I pray that I can make time to pray for Oprah, as well.  Wow.  All that power.  All that money.  I was thinking today or yesterday, what I would do if I had the money to do it.  I would...wait a minute, I don't want to sit here and write down all the stuff I would do...cause people always talk...blah, blah blah...if I had this...if I had that...I would give to this charity or that charity...blah blah blah.  It really is about the man that actually goes out and gives and does what he wants to do and not say anything about it.  So, since I am planning on having some Oprah type money REAL SOON, (hint, hint GOD) I will chill on telling you what I am about to do...and you all can just see what is about to go down...one day...REAL SOON!!!  HAHAHAHA

"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD", Oprah...hahahaha  

Keep it Natural.

It really must be God sent that I just read your latest post or decided to show my wife the videos of you on def poetry jam, because a lot of things you said reminded me of the way that my wife and I think. I work at Barnes and Noble and was bored so I looked at what books Oprah says to read. (By the way, the devil isn't using Oprah for evil, Oprah is the devil! Joke!) And one of the many books were on this new age craptastic philosophy which we both know is.. well crap. I got so mad that some people actually believe that we as humans are "god" or that we have the power to be "god" within us. To me, I just get frustrated and yell about this to my other friends who I work with, but my wife has always been saying how the New Age section at my work place is where the devil works. It is true and I find it really funny that you posted this so recently. (If you want to get really mad, go read "New Earth" by Erkt Tohll (check the spelling on that) But it basically takes gospel messages and twists them around. Basically what it said explicitly not to do in Revelations, this guy does. Well just wanted to drop you a line and say keep writing and performing, my wife and I both love you and everything you do. So God bless and I'll pray for you. Hope you can write me back. Joseph.
