"Dollywood attracts lots of church groups, but it has also become a draw for the LGBT community. What does that say about you?
It's a place for entertainment, a place for all families, period. It's for all that. But as far as the Christians, if people want to pass judgment, they're already sinning. The sin of judging is just as bad as any other sin they might say somebody else is committing. I try to love everybody"
Ms. Clown-face shows her ignorance of scriptures.
We are to "judge" sin, but always with the goal of presenting the solution for sin and its consequencesthe Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Say what you want about Parton, but she is a legend.
I love her music, can’t understand her acceptance of queers. I will always love her wonderful voice. As for Christians passing judgment, Christians don’t, they just let G_d’s word do that for them.
I agree. My grandpa was a businessman and a good one. He was a conservative Christian but he wasn't preachy. He told me everyone was welcome in his store if they spent money.
All entertainers are being presented with this choice: Either endorse the gay agenda or have your career ruined.
Very few entertainers will sacrifice their careers.
I'm not here to judge Parton, don't care about her politics....but obviously she's popular for a reason. Just see her as an individual. Plus she kicked ass in "9-5."
They only draw for the LGBTXYXQRSTU community are female impersonators.
Her comments make no logical sense. It is impossible for all judging to be bad because judging judging is judging.
The capacity for reason and judgment and sound discernment is what makes for greatness in people. To throw it all away is not love. It is not smart. She might as well go lock herself in a room and take drugs. Why bother thinking at all.
Out here in the real world there are differences between right and wrong, truth and error, fact and fiction, etc.
There is no sin of judging.
There is a sin of judging hypocritically.
Like if you slam gay people and you’re a closet homosexual, for just one example. Or slamming someone on their weight and you’re obese.
The true free market was lost with some of the baggage attached to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Among the reasons why Goldwater opposed it was the government meddling with private business. Being coerced by the central government to serve everyone ended the days when a business owner had true liberty and could not fear hanging this sign on the door:
The so-called "Fair" (I'm always wary of that term) Housing Act ultimately led to the destruction of once fine neighborhoods. And it forces an individual to cater to the homosexual agenda when selling or renting a dwelling. Had the CRA stopped with prohibiting government sanctioned discrimination, it would have been okay. But expanding its scope to the private sector was, IMHO, unconstitutional.
Good point.
Whatever. Who was a great artist was Porter Waggoner and she was on the show with him. Porter Waggoner was real classic country music, I’d have mixed feelings about saying that about a lot of country music artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8jJq4rBsZc
Dolly loves queers because Dolly loves their money. Period.
Parton has been a liberal democrat for years. She has not a hit record in 20 years. Never liked her squeaky voice and really have no use for any person that tries to stay young looking through plastic surgery. And her politics make me want to puke. The female version of Willie Nelson.
Agree. Love Dolly. Jolene one of my all time favorites.
She broke a contract with Porter. Without him she would still be scrubbing floors for a living. He wouldn’t talk to her for years.
Thanks for the note, I see youtube even has some video on the feud. I will read up on this some time.
Isn’t Dolly some kind of trannie icon ?
I love her music, cant understand her acceptance of queers. I will always love her wonderful voice. As for Christians passing judgment, Christians dont, they just let G_ds word do that for them.
I’ve got friends that are gay. They’re very conservative. They watch Fox News all day. They despise Obama. They’re against the gay agenda and think gay marriage is a load of BS.
Hate the sin love the sinner. Besides, I’ve got my own sins to overcome.
And I still think Dolly is wonderful.
