a few Sunday's ago our pastor was recounting the story of Johhny Cashes' brother,Tommy, when he was dying in the hospital he was seeing on the other side. I have tried to hunt it down on the net, but so far no luck....so have to go by memory hear of what our pastor said. Tommy lay dying and told someone he was on a boat going down a river and headed for flames of fire....he cried out...'wait a minute! I am saved! I am not suppose to be going this way'..then his boat suddenly turned and he was headed the other way.

So your god just likes to fuck with dying people?
I don't think that that was so much an anecdote about someone's life as it was your pastor recounting the bizarre visions he had when he got blitzed on acid and listened to all his ol Who records.
God to the archangels: "Hey, check this out! I'm gonna (heh, heh) ... I'm gonna just aim Tommy's boat (he-heeeee! Oh, hahhahahahaha!) ... gonna aim it right for Hell! (Knee slap, mad cackle) He's gonna think it's roaster time for all eternity! (Hardy-har-har!) Look at him! Look at the little sonofabitch sweat! Funniest thing ever! I LOVE this shit!"
So...your God is either a prick, who likes fucking with his followers, or is, to put it delicately, "fallible" and nearly sent one of his children to hell.
Johnny Cash was that rare Christian. The ones that know they are never the spokesman or the manager of anyone else. We could stand more of those kind.
Y'know
I believe these people exist, even in Fundie Christianity. Not nearly enough of you though.
PS on Johnny Cash
A lot of these fundies hate Johnny Cash because he worked with, and covered songs of many rock artists who they think are in league with the devil.
Johnny was respected and still is and may always be because he's an origional. Hell I'm a Rocker in my early years and on (Sabbath to Floyd, to Nazareth to Hawkwind and so on to Nirvana, Bloodhound Gang, QOtSA still listen to tons of hard rock)
and I grew up when country wasn't NEW Country. Also known as old rocknroll. Johnny stood out in the early sixties and never took a back seat to anyone. He began in Rockabilly and carried that beat through his carreer, not exclusively but it never left. He was born into Rock and Country both from day one.
No traces on the net ? Perhaps it's totally made-up fiction, just like the rest of what you pastor says...
Naaah, must be some Jewo-Communisto-proAbortion plot to push the gay agenda in the atheist media.
CousinTed, you're right. The brother of JohnnyCash who died was named Jack, not Tommy. He had a rather grisly accident involving a head saw, and died a week or so later.
*Beep deep BEEP*
Hello, Townshend? Yeah, some dude's bismirching the name of Tommy.
*Watches Moonglow get chased by the Townshend Cult in a golf cart, wielding buckets.*
Really, this is so much fail.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
