Whose Reverend is this Threatening Me in the Name of Jesus?
It is that time of the year again: when people use Martin Luther King Jr.’s image inappropriately for club flyers. MLK ain’t march to be the image of “Freaky Fridays” at the local disco. STAHP IT EVERYONE! I already wrote about this last year but more flyers have emerged for this year’s foolish celebrations, so I posted one of them on the Awesomely Luvvie Facebook fan page yesterday. Here’s the post:
Notice that my caption was in no way approving it. Wells, like 5 older people or people who don’t know how to play internet hit me up to tell me I’m disrespectful for creating the picture or for posting it. One of them even said she was going to boycott my website. Chile… ok girl.
Then last night, I get a message that was the angriest of all. He’s really mad. Look:
I GUESS HE TOLD ME! If I do not remove the picture I did not create nor approve, the good reverenT is gonna curse my FB page in the name of our Lord. I REBUKE HIM AND REJECT IT.
I’m pretty sure Jesus is too busy to be sending curses to Facebook but in just in case, lemme say this prayer.
Dear father, I cover my fan page with the blood of Jesus and with sense and logic for protection against stupidity and idiocy! No illness shall befall my Facebook page in Jesus name! MAY ALL MY POSTS GET A BOOST IN NEWSFEEDS, OH LORD! May my fans be fruitful and multiply,
Father! I pray against Facebook enemies and those who don’t wish my page to prosper. Everything he wishes on my page has already been done to his page, Lord! Jesus, please grant me the serenity accept that there are foots I cannot change and to not feel the need to snatch the wigs of all those who act up on my page, the courage to let them have it when they deserve it and the wisdom to let them cook and know the difference.
Amen.
Good. That’s outta the way. So if you’re gonna declare some authority, at least make me take you serious by not typing like your keyboard malfunctions. Why can’t Mr. RW find one period or high comma (apostrophe) in his sanctuary? Outchea typing one long run-on sentence of rage and bad decisions. “u probably get sued for difamation.” DIFAMATION. I’ll look out for that suit, REVERENT! Thanks for the heads up!
@Luvvie He should get sued for the defamation of proper grammar, spelling and word use.

Bless his heart. I am afraid for the congregation that this man leads. Beware of pastors and reverends who try to waste the Lord’s time with frivolous curses and threats. I’m so glad salvation is not dependent on folks’ ability to spell. Jesus be some grammar lessons for us all.
COME GET YOUR PASTOR! He needs to go occupy an entire pew of seats on harvest Sunday. Whose minister is this??
P.S. I clicked through to his FB profile and he really is unable to punctuate. You’d think someone was somewhere charging him to use periods or something, so he skimps and only uses them on very special occasions. “DON’T BE OUT HERE USING ALL MY PERIODS UP! Shit! Gon have my bill SKY HIGH using all them full stops.” O________O

OMG. Poor Lil’ Tink Tink. I too would like to rebuke him for horrendous grammar. All in his feelings for no reason at all.
Bury me in my good wig.
DONE! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
We gone use some money out the building fund to get passa a new keyboard. *passes collection plate*
We also will be needing a Love Offering for some “Hooked on Phonics” for passa as well.
That last gif of Gene had me howling!!!!!!! Go get ’em Luvvie!!!!!
“u probably get sued for difamation.” DI-FA-MA-TION? OH LAWD!!! The ignorance is SKRONG with this one. I have some extra punctuations he can have them .'”,!?()LOL
This read gave me life! I couldn’t at the prayer had me cracking up. I need to pray over my instagram.
That dressed up version of Ms. Celie’s “till you do right by me” …priceless.
I’m positive that the Lord rebukes him for disobeying His grammar and punctuation commandments. We gon’ say a prayer for the good Reverend to at least seek out the truth in some reading comprehension and spelling classes in the 20and14.
Why the old folks gone come for Luvvie this early in the new year? I hope someone sits Passa down and explains this to him real slow, with correct grammar & punctuation.
Thank you for this hilarity so early in the morning.
Luvvie, you better be careful! I hear them “difamation” lawsuits can be a trip!! HAHA
Oh, wow. I wonder if he thinks in run-on sentences. He must be tired after every conversation.
What you did there…I see it. LOL!
LMAO!! Thanks for this!! I needed a laugh. The internet has exposed a whole slew (too many really) who can read but not comprehend.
And this is what happens when people don’t go into the context and just post on sight. HUMANS! oii!!
You are better than me because I would have included his full name. This really is frivolous, and if he bothered to read your post he would see that you were talking about how ridiculous these flyers are. Geez. He needs to go back to seminary school and take a English while he is there. Trifling thought that picture is, you cannot sue anyone for defamation of character for just a photo, and I am sure that Dr. King’s family would not waste their time on it.
*waving $20 in the air to place in collection basket for passa’s Hooked On Phonics and new keyboard funds*
Funniest post ever!!! I saw your post the other day and was totally disgusted by the flyer and I’ve seen some other flyers even worse. I hate to blame this younger generation for all things ignorant because I truly don’t know who would dare create such things. But it’s sad that his image and legacy would be used in such a derogatory way. In reading your post it was clear you were not applauding the creator but chastising their ignorance. The poor Reverend didn’t read it.
I am in my 40’s and I wasn’t alive when MLK did his thing. My parents kept it real for me what Jim Crow and the civil rights era was all about. People younger than myself are even more removed from MLK and don’t feel like what they are doing here is disrespectful. Grandmothers no longer have a MLK shrine with Jesus and JFK in their front rooms…..
I’m pretty sure I have been “cursed” by this same alleged minister when I told him just because I accepted your FB request doesn’t make us friends. He was going around different churches telling people we were friends, using my name as leverage to get into pulpits. He doesn’t know how to play internet at all. He’s the kid in Freeze Tag who nobody unfreezes.
“He’s the kid in Freeze Tag who nobody unfreezes.”
This just made me LOL and cry real tears..PERFECT description. I’m using that in the future.
If he was a real Revend, he would’ve known to capitalize the ‘g’ in God. SMH…whatever seminary school he graduated from needs to snatch his transcript & degree! *puts $20 in the collection plate*
FATHA! must people take themselves so seriously? Should have asked him if that “Holy man of God” was honorable when he was out there sleeping with everybody BUT Coretta. Some folks love to twist God into some mess just to make it sound good. #iCANT
“Everything he wishes on my page has already been done to his page, Lord!”
Well this is where I bid you all adieu and go on up yonder.
You are stoooooooopid! LMAO!!!! I ♡ you Luvvie!!!
I give folks the “Good Day, Sir!” in my head all the time! Priceless gif!
LMBO!!!!!! I am HOLLERING: DON’T BE OUT HERE USING ALL MY PERIODS UP! Shit! Gon have my bill SKY HIGH using all them full stops.”
Thanks Luvvie, I surely needed that laugh!
Wait…something good may come of this.
If the good reverenT is in the Facebook page cursing business, can you send him my way? Great-aunt Marie keeps sending me requests to help her with Facebook games and I need him to hit her page with one good ‘shammanna’ so she’ll stop with the requests.
Let me know when you pass the collection plate so I can give an offering…if you have change for a 10.
DEAD TO THE BED!!!
*crying at my desk*
Oh dear! This is some craziness. Sounds like the good reverent has been excessively partaking in that “happy yak” (cognac – the cheap kind) instead of the normal Communion Sunday Welch’s grape juice.
I’m not putting anything into his collection plate…it’ll just contribute to his alcoholism.
I can’t believe mister ReverenT here talking about your FB page being cursed in the name of Jesus… I mean, really? Can you curse FB pages? In the name of the lawd? Nawl, please have a stadium full of #difamation seats sir.
And, why am I know visualizing Steve Harvey coming out with a line of pimped out pin-striped “Difamation Suits”? With the requisite matching Fedora.
…available at K&G and Men’s Wearhouse stores nationwide.
I’m not well. I know.
Sorry, meant *now visualizing” not “know visualizing”.
Awe! Bless him little heart…not reading your status above the flyer. He totally missed that you were opposed to Dr. King’s image on the flyer. His grammar, lower/upper case letter usage…etc. I can’t with this minister, lol!
Craziness!! He needs to have several seats and learn to READ. Hooked on Phonics works for Internet trolling pastors too!!
Did Jesus have a 13th disciple named Ray-Ray that spoke broken Ebonics? Because that diatribe was a Language Art teacher porn….
Just red marker splooge marks all over Rev’s sermons…
Religious institutions are exempt from taxes on periods, so I don’t know what his problem is, LOL!
I am laughing so hard that the barista in Starbucks keeps asking me if I am okay. This was so funny.
Rev. Raheem We-El, NOI and recent prison graduate.
He needs Jesus to knock him off his donkey so he can stop acting like one.
OMG…. You checked his FB page….. so this man really is a minister? I was hoping it was all a great big lie….. LAWD Jesus be an 5th period english class…..
*sigh*…Jesus be a spellcheck.
Hahahahahahahahahah…..best post ever!!!!!!
He got more nerve than a bad tooth!
Well if it was a misunderstanding on his part, what good thing are you doing by making him look a fool? They say if you argue with a fool, they’l bring you down to thier level & beat you with experience. After seeing this ‘response’ all I can say is #gofigure.
“Bury Me In My Good Wig” That just makes me have a fit of giggles.
Luvvie is too much for me! This was HILARIOUS! Bless those who DO NOT know how to “play the internet”.
oh that is funny!
