What do you honestly think of this?

I'd like to see Barkley take the challenge, but I'd put my money on Danny. I've already seen him take on an NBA player one-on-one and beat him.
-
Wow, he is really good at throwing baskets!
-
It's a very good, creative promotion for the new Dare to Dream network, headed up by Danny's girlfriend, (Dr.) Yvonne Lewis.
He's doing the urban pastime, playing basketball, with the baseball cap turned backwards. It's a little heavy on the white makeup around the eyes, though.

Was the video edited, or did he really make all those baskets in a row?
How did he get that good? Seems I recall someone objected to his being an elder because he played basketball instead of attending church board meetings. Has he ever played basketball on company time?
-
I wasn't looking that closely to see if it was edited or not.
But he's really good at shooting baskets!
It looks to me like he has a natural ability for it. Probably most couldn't do it that well even if they practiced a lot.
-
It wasn't edited. Danny is unusually good at basketball. He can consistently hit the basket from anywhere on the court. I'm baffled at how his depth perception is so accurate when he only has one eye.
-
Only sight in one eye!
I guess he did mention that in the video.
Maybe not quite on topic here, but in the Meyers-Briggs personality typing, the ESTP "entertainer" is stated to have very advanced physical coordination, citing old western gun-slingers and such.
(Interestingly enough, the ESTP is also given credit for being the most effective con-man type.)

When did he lose sight in his eye?

When he was 6 years old. He was helping the family pick up glass bottles and put them in a truck. One broke a piece went through his eye.

Of course he has played basketball on company time, with 3ABN workers also on company time. The gym is attached to the school. In the afternoon after school was over and they were still working on the building, Danny would pull the construction crew aside from their work and play basketball with them for more than an hour, until he had worn them out and their work time was over for the day.
-
That probably made him seem like a "nice guy".

What do you honestly think of this?
I think he is uneducated in his manner of speaking and knows nothing of slang usage and degrading the Lord by stating a "cow is holy". Nothing is is " holy except God". and only one is of "Goodness" and slang of using "oh my goodness" is also degrading, slang and bragging of his goodness upon his actions. It's respect of God not to use slang connected with His Holiness. It's degrading.
-
Let's all be reminded of what Danny is all about. He uses 3ABN and 'urban network' or whatever else he can to promote himself.
Sure, he can hit the 3-pointer. But what if one of us here was on that court and stated the names of a few females that Danny has been familiar with just before he releases his jump shot? You better believe he would miss! He would tell his people to escort us from the gym. HA!
I was in the Seattle Center Coliseum during the 1993 Western Conference Championship when Charles Barkley was playing for the Phoenix Suns. 20,000 fans chanting BARKLEY S***S didn't stop him from dropping 30 points over Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, two of the NBA's prolific defenders at that time.
I highly doubt the Televangelist could handle that kind of opposition.
-

Maybe we should hope that that was the least problematic thing he was doing on company time.
-
Remember, he is not employed but simply a consultant being paid for a non-compete agreement. They should have done the same for Linda...she is about to compete...may the Lord Bless her efforts and may she prosper as 3ABN diminishes!!! But not before she gets paid the judgment she won.

The judgment she won?
Where was this announced?
-

Yes, I'm interested in hearing the details of that, also!
-
Oh brother... This is how the rumors and gossip starts.
Mr Joy's message is confusing. He is apparently being hopeful both about 3ABN diminishing, and about them paying Linda for winning a judgment before that happens.
To be clear.
Linda Shelton hasn't won any judgment. She has never even filed a case against 3ABN.
-
I thought that we had heard for a long time that Linda had a case going with 3ABN, or was it Danny Shelton?
-
As no one seems to be answering you.
The only case that Linda Shelton is involved in is the marital property case with Danny Shelton.
When they got divorced they agreed he would file for the divorce and she would file the related case having to do with the division of the remainder of marital property that they had not already agreed on. The property case has NOTHING to do with 3ABN, nor with her previous job and position there.
For some reason the case has still not been resolved. Since she moved to Norway there are a series of failure to appear/ failure to show cause notices listed on the on the court docket and then some conference calls from months ago, and that's it.
-
Getting back on topic, if it was a one-on-one game between Danny and Barkley, my money would be on Danny. He is a grandfather with one eye, and he wears boots, but he has beat everyone I've ever seen him take on.
-
Would wearing boots negatively affect his performance?
I was impressed more than a little by his basket/hoops ability.

It's not easy to shoot while wearing cowboy boots, and definitely impare performance.

What do you honestly think of this?
I see a worldling idolizing a man.
No true SDA condones competitive sports, partakes of them, nor praises those who are part of them.
-
And you have the authority to decide who is a true SDA!
"Lord, deliver me from such. I trust in you."
-

Are replies such as above common on this forum? Is there a habit here, like in many places, to misconstrue one's words and to seek to add weight to them, weight which they do not carry?
If a genuine Adventist disregards/rejects plainly revealed truths found in the Scriptures and the Testimonies, is he a truly seen as such by God? If he follows the world and neglects to walk in the advancing light which is emanating from God's throne to His remnant people, has he really put his all on the altar of sacrifice, giving evidence to his trust in the Great I AM, or are his words of assurance of his salvation really just a sad statement of self-deception?
-
Yes, Mr. Gregory, on occasion your denial of the Gift of Prophecy shows through so decisively!
And this is one of those moments.
There is plenty of guidance on this issue in the Counsels. And, yes, by their fruits ye shall know them. Your fruit is showing here and you may need a graft or two. I know I certainly do!!!
Soon, there will be very clear differences between those REMNANT SDA's and those who will be blown out of the Faith of Jesus by every wind of strife. Unfortunately, on the way between here and their, there will be many clear signs where we stand in our relationship and the direction of that relationship, like it or not. And reproof is simply a way for the Spirit to call us to repentance, revival and reformation.
There are clearly those who can identify the difference between the real Faith and the artificial. And they do use the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy as their standard, and yes, their vision is clear and well grounded in Faith. Accept it as a call to Faith and if you have a problem, accept the call and self exam to determine if just perhaps your human ego must be set aside for the calling of the Spirit. Do not reject that Spirit and accept it's call.
May even change your perspective on Women's Ordination to accept God's perfect purpose for HIS Church to be a peculiar people that DO believe the Bible is the Foundation of Faith and don't use human imperfect reasoning to abandon God's Purpose for HIS Church.

Gailon, life is a spiritual journey, even for SDAs. None of us, to include your and I perfectly understand what God wills for us. It is the Holyl Spirit that convilcts us of what Gkod wants of us. all of us have more to learn. It just may be that there are ture Christian, SDAs who are not yet convicted by the Holyl Spirit on the issue of competative sports. That may be due to the fact that God is working on them on issues that are more important. Do not fear, God is in charge, neither you nor I. But, if they have not rejected the present leading of the Holyl Spirit they are true Christians.
So, I say again: "Lord deliver me from the judgements of those who are unwilling to wait for the convicting power of the Holy Spirit and take upon themselvles the task of determining who are true Christians."

Mr. Gregory,
There IS a difference between "saved" Christians(IN ALL DENOMINATIONS) and Seventh-day Adventists "members" that have lived in the light for decades and reject that light.
Seventh-day Adventists are clearly to be a "light" unto the entire earth and to reject the very sources of that light is apostasy!!!
I can easily excuse the Lutheran and the Holy Roman Catholic, and even a misguided Islamist and can see easily how they may have lived up to the light they had and are entitled to stand at the right hand of the throne in God's good and balanced justice.
BUT, the Seventh-day Adventist that has not grown from deliberate rejection of God given very special light, for those heirs, there is no question that at some point they are found definitively wanting and on the left hand and the Lord clearly declares "I HAVE KNOWN YOU NOT".
There are very defining standards by which you can determine if one is a "Seventh-day Adventist" and very clear definitions that put many a "social church-goer" (deliberately not labeling them "Adventists" as it is IMPOSSIBLE to believe in evolution and also believe there will be a Second Coming, an essential belief to be an "Adventist") that live well outside the clear definitions of being Seventh-day Adventists.
You can like it or lump it, but it is what it is and putting on blinders will not save any SDA from the light they have been given. Rejection is not where any of us want to be and everyone can easily identify the difference between the light and the darkness. As we get ever closer to the final days that definition will become clearer and clearer for those who do, and those who do not, accept the Light. The future of those who reject the light has been clear for over 150 years.
I will stand firm on the premise that those who have grown up in light and reject it ARE NOT SEVENTH=DAY ADVENTISTS. and that indeed does apply to both of us, most assuredly!!!

Amen!
"By some there is shunning of the living testimony. Cutting truths must not be shunned. It needs something besides theory to reach hearts now. It needs the stirring testimony to alarm and arouse; that will stir the enemy's subjects, and then honest souls will be led to decide for the truth. There has been and still is with some a disposition to have everything move on very smoothly. They see no necessity of straight testimony.
Sins exist in the church that God hates, but they are scarcely touched for fear of making enemies. Opposition has risen in the church to the plain testimony. Some will not bear it. They wish smooth things spoken unto them. And if the wrongs of individuals are touched, they complain of severity, and sympathize with those in the wrong. As Ahab inquired of Elijah, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?" they are ready to look with suspicion and doubt upon those who bear the plain testimony, and like Ahab overlook the wrong which made it necessary for reproof and rebuke. When the church depart from God they despise the plain testimony, and complain of severity and harshness. It is a sad evidence of the lukewarm state of the church." Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, pp. 283-284
There is absolutely no excuse for ignorance for ANY Seventh-Day Adventist who has been in the faith for an extended amount of years.
