MIAMI -- With just three Sundays left before Election Day, Sen. John Kerry is asking for all the help he can get from black voters and the Almighty.
The Democratic presidential nominee attended two church services Sunday, instead of his usual one, worshipping first with Haitian Catholics and then with black Baptists, where the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton tied his election to the civil rights struggle.
"We have an unfinished march in this nation," Kerry said at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, as many congregants waved fans handed out by the campaign with his slogan, "Hope is on the way."
"Never again will a million African Americans be denied the right to exercise their vote in the United States of America," Kerry promised, referring to the disputed Florida recount in the 2000 presidential race. As he often does before black audiences, Kerry said he has a legal team that will aggressively respond to any allegations of disenfranchisement.

This is a hidden little gem often overlooked. If you think John Kerry is a Chrstian, read the Gospel of John 16:3.
John Kerry said in a speech this summer that John 16:3 was his favorite scripture!

1"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
ROTFLOL!!
You should be in marketing...lol
(and aren't you kind! :)
Thanks. I can use a few of those pics.

I believe in the laying on of hands. However, the Bible also cautions about having hands laid on you "suddenly". What that means is that if you're the Pastor, you better know who you're laying hands on - whether GOD wants you to lay hands on them .. or for the individual, you better know who's laying hands on you.
Kerry continues to allow this practice to make a SHOW of it. However, laying hands on someone is a very, very dangerous spiritual event .. and it should never be treated lightly.
I wish someone in Friday's debate would've ask Kerry how he felt about government-funded 'art' that includes things like a Crucifix in a vat of urine or the Virgin Mary splattered with cow dung. I'd like to hear that nuanced catholic answer that question with America and his wacko base listening.
BTTT
It really is a shame that American Blacks enmasse can't see for the life of them, that the Democrat Party has done absolutely nothing for them. The masses of "brainwashed Blacks" will march in lock-step to the polls and vote for John Kerry and four more years of economic slavery that the Democrat Party keeps them in. The good news is that the younger generation of Blacks gets it, and is beginning to march to the tune of a different drum (the drum of security, freedom, opportunity and enterprize that the Republican Party offers).
ROFLMBO!!!
ROTF!!
Good one...*smile*
I watched it and still have diplopia/double vision. :)
Even some of us Episcopalians believe in the laying on of hands in the healing process.
When I seen pictures of Kerri in a black church, my blood boils as bad as when we saw pictures of the Clintoon going to church with his 30# bible.

I know .. but the Catholic church is turning against Kerry, and I'm glad to see this happening.
Nothing could be further from the truth, especially at the church I happen to attend...our Pastor forbids ANY candidate from taking to the puplpit and stumping. Also, more and more Black pastors are beginning to realize what a colossial failure the Democratic Party has been to our communities. Even the New York Slimes had to concede this in an article that was published on October 5th by David Kirpatrick; it probably took all his strength not to choke on his Starbucks latte while writing the story. The issue of Gay marriage is a very contentious one among Black Christians. So, as another person posted on this forum said, don't be so quick to write all Black Americans off.
