Christianity means love, if that’s the case The River Fellowship blew this one

The Bible teaches us, that to love Christ we must love our neighbors and others as we do ourselves.

The meaning at its roots of Christianity is love.

If that’s the case, the River Fellowship of Twin Falls Idaho , certainly failed me.

Some would say, I never really gave it a chance, really? How much time, how much of a chance do I have to give?

You ask on numerous times how can I help, you get the response, we’ll let you know.

You ask to head up a bible study for Veteran’s especially Vets of the air, the response is; we’ll see.

You offer to help in the book store of the church, the response is, check with such & such, you call, get told she’ll call back, I’m still waiting for the call.

Same goes for any numerous requests by me to help, to be of some use. Sounds like that church over in Jerome I went to once don’t it?

But for the River Fellowship to just brush me off.

Why not just have an Elder or Pastor come to the Wolf’s Lair here and say, “ We love you, but your attendance at church is no longer welcome” Might as well do that since the response has been purtty much that.

Outside of one young lady who I took on to do cleaning and laundry duty here, and who actually responded with I love you too in finishing up phone calls, the rest of that congregation although somewhat friendly, purtty well snubbed me.

No biggy, as my feelings are not that hurt, its that my pride and all has been a bit bruised here.

But how can a congregation that purports to be doing God’s work on earth here, be that stand-offish?

Now I will not say I wont go back again , as I don’t go for the people, but to worship God, but I can purtty much do that at home. Could it have been me as I was going through my southern roots showing period? Perhaps, but is loving your fellow person, meaning that you look past their frailties? If one in your group, or congregation needs a hug, do you ignore them? Or go up and put your arms around them and say it’ll be okay, God loves you? I think the latter applies.

It makes one wonder at organized religion in general.

It says in our teachings, that where more than three of you gather in my name, there I be . But can God really enter a place with power where there is so much hate and discourse? I think not.

The first few times I went to the River, I truly felt Gods presence, the last few weeks, that presence has not been as strong if there at all, could God, be saying to me this ain’t for you? Or could God just be pee-owed at the River?

It ain’t so much that the radio/tv station half of the River purtty much blew me off, that I expected, the head engineer there has disliked me since I blew off KMVT years ago, likewise KMTW FM, but to dwell on that as a cause for disfellowship ? Naw .

I’m thinking that next Sunday, at the evening meeting, I’m going to ask Pastor Bacon, if I can address that smaller congregation, not to belittle them, but to teach them or show what they have done in hopes they can improve .

As for attending afterwards, we’ll see .

Bottom line, I have yet to have Pastor Bacon, drive over to see me, he has my number, a phone call, lunch, or just a kindly visit would open doors here.

While God tells us to forgive which I do, he also doesn’t expect us to keep putting our hands on a hot stove either.

Talk to ya’ll L8R ,

Then there are all those Facefart ads

Then there are all those Facefart ads.

Everything from teasing you with date sites to making you irresistible to women, to making your business more profitable. Really? I’d like to see anyone of theirs beat the odds of the economic slowdown and financial death like, ours has.

But how about a real screening of putting up only those ads, that really are worth looking into or that YOUR interested in?

I mean , I damn well don’t want to know what a shop doing the same thing I’m doing is selling. Outside of shopping my competitor, of which in some areas we started the dang trend in the first place.

Then there are those hot model ads. Really? Ever try to get them , to send their talent to you to work in your media company? I did one not too long ago, and because she couldn’t find anything online, (did the owner look very hard?) she questioned motives. Finalizing on the fact that we are out of her area. Duh? What did she think that putting it on FaceFart that it’d just be a local observance?

Then there are those ads on getting your credit rating for free. Bullsbreath, the dang thing ain’t for free. The offer is from an outfit called Triple Advantage, that only offers credit ratings, if you set up credit monitoring through them. Which requires a dang credit card that I’ll never own anyway, but even if I did, its misleading. The Knytes did a sting back in 2005 on the outfit, through the Federal Trade Commission, and now they have to put the disclaimer on ALL their ads. To date, none of the clubs companies nor mine have had to put on a disclaimer, we are what you see, no more, not less.

The roll up on the crawl, of these ads , Facefart wants to know what you like? I have an idea, Facefart, give me Facefart without the damn ads, that’s what I like. When I tell you I’m into fast rides, warbirds and southern culture, only give me notices that are screened for authenticity and reality, outside of that keep the BS ads off my page.

Facefart will even sneak an ad onto YOUR newsfeed page.

I only want to see stuff from people and things that I mark as only important, outside of that leave me alone.

Then there are TV networks, that are BS.

That in my next Entry.

Cleaning out friendship lists

Mom used to call them, foul weather friends, I call them short term acquaintances.

These are the people, that during something major all want to be YOUR friend. Even some that assume names of your relatives, even your dad, of which mine has been dead for now 30 plus years. Some buttwipe on Facefart, signed up for an account on Facefart using my dad’s name, oh well some asshole signed on as Uncle Jessie , so I guess anything goes. You’d think Facefart would police and screen that a bit heavier.

So then I start going through all those pages I sign in with, and so called friends. Many of which were people, I’d just asoon forget from Hazzard, as well as the valley here.

Many are in to being my friend when its convenient, ignore me the rest of the time. So I only accept friends on Facefart now from people I damn well know and really are friends, within a few miles or areas that I go. Elsewise no more my friend.

of course there are exceptions, my publicist, and one who manages Emma, but past that , ignore me, adios you don’t need to make believe your my friend, go suck the hind teat of another idiot. I don’t dig carpetbaggers, and many on Facefart are little from that.

So I start cleaning house.

Take off 5 friends. And looking to do more.

Eastern Idaho and Utah looking better every day. In the time, I still have here its still the same plan, finish building KDXB, put her on air, find manager, fix up my rides, then its me outta here.

But I’d like ya’ll’ opinion, how many of your Facefart friends do you keep or how many do you ignore until they cross YOU off their friends list and you do likewise?

Will follow up on this later today, is Zuckerburg’ monster outgrown its usefulness and is there something coming that’s better? Only Google knows for sure.

For those who have continued to ignore me on Facefart>>

This could get complicated but its needed

Now I’ve been praying about this for about a month or so, but the feelings I got Wednesday night, and the overwhelmingly events including my getting sick, not having a sleeping bag even though my dear friend Nancy dug one up, and the patronizing and all last Wednesday night, just told me that the River Fellowship is a place where my presence is, going to be on a 3 times weekly event, and nothing more and eventually not at all.

The other half of this is simply that while the Radio station and all is ready to roll out pending FCC approval in October and crew assembly , most of that work is now done and just needs to simmer, over the summer.

I eluded to this in some of my past entries here, and while the FCC is not going to grant any new TV station construction permits and licenses, that doesn’t prevent us here in the Knytes-of-Anarchy from creating the first in area IPTV station. With the programming ya’ll want, from Petticoat Junction to oh yes , the Dukes of Hazzard.

Don’t think we wont be going after both the channel and signal of the old FoX station here. When KMVT swallowed that one up like a whale scarfing down a guppy, the analog channel still is there, likewise CH-6 on Cable One is still there blank and as black as Toby’s butt. Considering the River

Fellowship CEO of TV, there pissd off Cable One, we haven’t at least entirely. So why not go after that?

Enter in; combining secular TV with Christian values and teachings, both Hazzard County and southern heritage style.

What will be different from us and say RFDTV? Something on , on over the air and Internet TV except infomercials, Country lifestyle programming that goes much deeper and better than anything ever done. Think of us as like Redneck TV with some serious spice.

Now then as I close, I think I might have put my friend Nancy off a bit about knocking the River Fellowship. Hey I dig the church, I love the feelings I get from God when I’m there, its just the condescending attitude of some of those there that have it in their heads that they are equal to God and/or Jesus, not his humble servants. The humble, and serving part has gone the way of, those who have power don’t want to loose it.

You try to open your arms to be of service as the so called 30 day Challenge they were barking about, but guess what? If you do, its hey we'll think about it. really? Oh you have to be an Elder to do that, oh you have to jump through hoops to do that. Ah bite me.

I as a part of that congregation see a need, I want to serve it, all I ask for is a place to meet there at the building and maybe an announcement on Sunday or two. That’s all. Too much to ask? Supposedly so.

This is serving God? Or is it more to serve only a very select few? I can tell you this, its no way to secure new people coming to the River.

I will not be part of anything phony or a front.

Maybe it’s time I just relegate myself to the thought that perhaps what’s there ain’t for me and quite a few others. By the way, to those that go there, ever hear anybody else deliver a sermon, besides the two Bryan’s or perhaps by a Lady Pastor?

How about singing southern gospel songs?

Its for Jesus, its for both the Hazzard County, and Southern culturists at heart, but it is

When celebrities should retire and networks that not ought to encourage

I know I’m going to catch hell for this one but it must be said.

There are way too many old farts on TV that should retire.

Example: This week in Agribusiness on RFDTV , with Orion Samuelsson and Max Armstrong, should have hung it up years ago, guess the pension plan at WGN/Chicago Trib wasn’t enough. But their age is showing. I say boys go back to tricking out tractors, sit on your porch and allow new blood to flow in.

Larry Black’s Country Diner is another. Larry Black the official Ambassador to Tennessee, is a good as a celeb, but his show has aged. No new blood on either of the shows on that network. Imagine if Larry brought Emma on , the entire bunch would look pale in comparison. Thing is Larry wants to prolong careers that have seen better years.

Then there are those celebrities that are timeless that do not get air play or honor.

Like Larry’s other show, on RFDTV, not once do you see or have you heard any music from Waylon on there. In fact as I get it, Larry never invited Waylon on the show. Nor has Larry invited Waylon’s son Shooter. Granted Waylon is part of the OutLaw Country Music wave that the Nashville elite was for, but hey , Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Kris and heck even Johnny Cash was part of that OutLaw movement, and yet guaranteed if all were living today, Larry still wouldn’t invite them on or play their music.

There’s many current country stars today that owe zillions to Waylon for the doors he opened.

And oh yes, Waylon not only played in Idaho and Utah , he lived here as well in his early career days. Waylon lived in both Twin Falls and Blackfoot, Idaho, as well as Tooele and Salt Lake City Utah. Historical facts that you might not know.

And yet , you’ll be hard pressed to find a local radio station other than HazzardAyre/KDXB playing his or his son Shooter’s music. Question becomes , Why? Has anyone else here heard of Ralph Emery? A legend both in country music, and radio. Yet outside of a limited show you see only one, of Ralph’s programs on RFDTV. I have an idea for them at RFDTV, can some of the old fart music shows like that polka crap, and run the series of Ralphs that ran on TNN?CMT the Nashville Now. You might gain more listeners and viewers. Oh yes more advertisers.

Maybe its time to get networks to retire, and be replaced with those with the resources to be modern and current, like oh I say, Confederate Steele TV?

Begging no, deserving yes!!

This is not to sound like begging, but mine is deserving. No not asking for a hand out, as I’ll eventually get there myself, but I was watching that show now defunct on cable called Overhauled. The one that launched Courtney Hansen’ career. Any mile, they have these deserving folks getting remakes on their rides. Likewise Spike TV/PowerBlock does a show called Search and Restore. Instead of the person, how about the truck? Yes LexiBelle. I’d fall over in amazement if a crew from one of these shows even Trick out My Truck, showed up, took LexiBelle and rebuilt her.

Okay why? Let’s see, LexiBelle, rescued Evil Knievels Rocket Bike from the floor of the Snake River Canyon, after his failed jump there many years ago, and all too many rides of both famous and infamous people.

LexiBelle has done so many amazing things that it’d take more than a blog posting to tell all she’s done, but she does deserve a makeover , any volunteers?

Okay then, there’s a rumbling in my gut and its not that rotten tuna sandwich I had for lunch.

Although the fact that all day yesterday I was so sick that Mr. Porcelain throne and reading the words American Standard plumbing, so many times I saw the words in the partial dreams I was having during what little sleep I got.

The only thing I did Friday, outside of chasing down a few delinquent bills that nobody is able to pay me, dropping off some mail to Jared and Rick at A1, all I did was puke and shyt.

Then tried to go on air last night, but was too sick so went on auto pilot with DXB and went to sleep.

But I wonder about any continued going out to the River to church. Not canning the friendships one I consider precious, the others moderately so, but the allowance of ignorance and arrogance of some there, makes me wonder do I need to be there?

Can I absorb God’s messages from TV, and prayer? Maybe find a spot to have church for the Confederate Star?

As much as my good friend Jared, loves his lady, if the River was more welcoming , I think Jared would go, he saw a train coming in the wrong direction and got out of the way. I’m starting to see that light as well, and its not a nice light.

But I’m getting off course here.

If anybody knows these fellers at Overhauled as well as Search & Restore of RTM Productions of Nashville, tell them of LexiBelle, LexiBelle deserves restoration and a makeover.

Shades of Gray

Some of the voting for the 2014 Grammy’s is out, and guess what? HazzardAyre Radio has been voted as the most popular radio show in its genre in the USA. That’s right for the last consecutive 9 months, HazzardAyre has been rated both number one and number 2 in both Arbitron and Nielsen  Ratings. Not bad for a radio show that all too many laughed at.

To what do I owe this popularity? God . That’s about all, the rest is purtty much cliché , the fans, stations carrying us these last few years since 2010, however all of this, is not going in solo. AyreWolf FM Radio(HazzardAyre’s parent show) has been nominated as the most popular of military aviation and military aviation enthusiasts programming. Not bad for a radio gig, that all too many shit canned in 2007.

Now if I can just get my young friend Emma to go with me to the Grammy’s, or maybe that sweetheart I had coffee with last Wednesday.

On that, I’m sure she thought I was a piece of work that night. Oh sure I could have arrived in a fancy carrier, with a wad of cash. But sadly I missed getting money from big C earlier in the day, my truck looks like hell, why? When do I get time to work on my rigs? Thing is I came here to Twin Falls area, in late 2006, to do two things, rebuild the home charter of the Knytes, and two erect the radio station so that such things as HazzardAyre wouldn’t be subjected to censorship by the stations carrying our syndicated editions of the show.

I did not come here to go toew, or build scoots.

I got lead to mini Cassia by false promises, thank goodness the one who promised is dead, I didn’t do the snuffing but I’m damn glad somebody did. It took me two years to dig myself out of Mini cassia back to Twin Falls, and I thank God every day for Charlie and what he does for me.

There’s many people that put Charlie down and make him out to be a big asshole. Any one doing that near or in front of me will have blood on his body. Charlie is one of God’s chosen few and what he has done starting with very little business wise is one thing, the lives he’s changed by his kindness is another. He sure has changed mine, for the better. So I don’t mind cleaning the head at the shop as part of my duties there. That’s small compared to what I learn from Charlie.

Charlie really doesn’t need to go to church, as he’s already a saint.

Oh and maybe, Charlie saw something at the River, likewise Jared that I didn’t but am beginning to get a full picture of.

But I had to share the news of our nominations and all.

Stay tuned,
