I’m posting this, not because I want you to watch this, but just to demonstrate that in my very neighborhood, we have traitorous and seditious people preaching to the masses that Trump should be president in 2021 because these modern day prophets say so.

SHOULD WE LISTEN TO MODERN PROPHECIES?

This guy is Eric Jones, he’s the pastor of Evident Life Church in Gilbert, not that far from my house (actually, almost directly south a few miles). I’ve know who he is for a few years now. He’s one of those political pastors, a definite supporter of that sheer nitwit congressman of mine, Andy Biggs. Jones is also viciously anti-abortion.*

So how did I come across this, you ask? I’ve been keeping track of what people have been posting to YouTube since the election, specifically on the subject of (without quotes) “trump false prophet”. Today’s search trawled up this item and I watched it, trying not to get sick.

The arguments he makes are just stupid. It basically boils down to “these prophets have been right before” (uhm, WHEN?) and “God is not going to let these prophets be wrong.” It doesn’t seem to have occurred to Eric Jones that the prophet business in the Charismatic segment of Evangelicalism is nothing more than a big grift. I’ve been waiting to see who the first “prophet” is who will break from the rest and try to reinterpret their prophecies to acknowledge a Biden presidency. At one point, Kris Vallotton of Bethel Redding admitted he was wrong, but then he took down the video, saying he was too soon—more likely because he’s engaging in magical thinking that seems to believe there will be a pro-Trump coup.

The long and the short of it for *me* is that I’m masking up and going out on Sunday to his church with a sign that says (side A): “ERIC JONES TEACHES TREASON AND SEDITION” and (side B): “ERIC JONES BELIEVES FALSE PROPHETS.”

When someone feels comfortable preaching and teaching that the electorate is wrong and the Constitution is wrong, and is basically calling for and supporting a coup against the will of the electorate, he needs confronting and his cult needs informing. And I’m just the person to do it.

* I’ve already got an idea for signs for the anti-abortionpalooza of late January in mind: “Women who have sex before marriage are not sinful sluts” and “Women who have abortions are not murderous sluts.” The use of “slut” is deliberate. I’m never going to forget that anti-abortion nurse who called 16 YO me a slut when I thought I was pregnant after having sex exactly once. They’ll call me out for the language and I will sweetly remind them of a day in April 1977 when I was called a slut.
