And he was described as a man for the heart of God.

.when I was once naive ( long ago and far away)....I would have immediately dismissed this
Now, with all the news of sexual predators and pedophiles......I believe every word.

The naivetés of many people got exposed when the documented sex scandals of the clergy were exposed, and many millions of dollars were paid out to victims.

Should we have expected Hollywood to be held to a higher sexual standard? -Tom

Culled from Scott Bowers' infamous memoir Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Life of the Stars as well as other equally brilliant (and juicy) books about the celluloid closet.

sad how churches sometimes teach only parts of whole sections in the bible. thankfully each and every whole story or section in the bible is there for anyoe wanting to read it, not just rely on some teacher/preacher.

"Cary Grant and Spencer Tracy were not queers."

Technically, they were both bisexual. If you figure that's not queer, then will pervert do?

I don’t disagree.

I did not understand the book of romans at all until I was in my 40’s but only because I had a great bible study leader and the study group went through the book of romans like a couple of law school grad students.

Since then, I’ve told people that I would have saved myself a couple of decades of confusion is I’d just read and understood romans. the key here is understood. because I was taught and did read romans when i was younger—but I did not understand it.

as a result I’ve told people not to read romans alone but rather in a group—and do so early and often.

but its like that with much of the new testament.

the old testament can be read by anyone including the unsaved. its meanings are readily apparent to anyone. but the new testament is not that way imho.

why? because to the normal unsaved mind
“Christ crucified is a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,”
1 Corinthians 1:23

But the world is chockablock with silly, old farts who feel a need for stolen fame.

The top dogs at the FBI have ruined the reputation...too bad because 95% of the agents and managers are truly good people...A good friend is an ex agent and he said they all despise Comey, McCabe, Stzrok etc...

This is where ministries like J. Vernon McGee fill the void.
Decades after his death his exposition of scripture as a whole still serves to provide what few local churches do.

This is not a new story. The book came out a while ago. Drudge seems to have fetish for this story. I wonder why?

The reason Bowers has stories to tell is because these actors were captives of a Hollywood studio system that weaponized moral clauses, contractually preventing them from living their authentic lives...

Hollywood BS... timed to tell us the 'new sluts' are just like the 'sluts of old'... Well, not buying it... Yeah there we some in the past but it wasn't like today.

I can’t watch a Randolph Scott movie. He and Cary Grant buggered one another.

I love how God has truth of Himself and His best ways for us to follow all readily available and then as we are finally ready we seek or bump into them and are open to accepting the revelation of various scripture that we may have heard numerous times but never really grasped meanings before.

As a child all I heard as scripture was read was the ‘fear” or scarey parts of things, it took many more years before I started to embrace the love and forgivenss and see His word as guide for living God’s best for myself and with those around me.

prayers for all injured by topic of this thread - hollywood industry and it’s greedy, selfishness - that God will help them as they need and change their lives for best.
