The Friendly Atheist had a post up that caught my eye. See Support a Documentary About Ex-Preacher Jerry DeWitt
This is a topic that gets buzz and talk in both the religious and secular arenas from time to time. I am interested in this film and the rural Pentecostal angle is intriguing to me.
They are asking for funds:
If you want the inside scoop on the biggest challenge facing the filmmakers, it is this: We need to crack the tough nut that is DeRidder, Louisiana. We want to present an intimate and truthful portrayal of life in Jerry’s hometown. Not just the clichés about small-town intolerance, but the real deal. The good, the bad and the ugly. But it’s hard to do that when you live in California and have limited funds. We’ll need to spend a lot of time there to build trust. You can’t “helicopter in” on a story like this.
That’s why we need your help. Your contributions will allow us to really settle down in Southeast Louisiana for long enough to develop relationships and approach the subject in a truly “verite” style. This is the only way to get past the understandable caution of folks in DeRidder, not to mention our own West Coast biases.
That has got me thinking I might want to send a few bucks if they are going to be fair. Though this part of their plea has me worried
But our filmmaking journey is only beginning. Jerry’s book is coming out in June, which is likely to change a lot of things for him. In the same week he is planning a major secular service in Baton Rouge, which may be the beginning of the humanist congregation down the road from Bobby Jindal’s statehouse .
LAWD HAVE MERCY NEAR BOBBY JINDAL 'S STATEHOUSE !!
I am not exactly sure why that religious and political dog whistle is there except maybe to reach a certain demographic. I suspect Bobby Jindal nor most folks in Baton Rouge are going get the vapors over a secular Church service .
Still it is sort of an interesting film and If done in a fair manner that does not portray my fellow Louisiana folks as idiots one I am interested in.

YOU MIGHT NOT BE A TRUE APOSTLE
SIGNS OF A TRUE APOSTLE.
2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostlewere performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.
If you are not performing signs, wonders and miracles, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 9:36-41 ....Tabitha...37 And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died...40 But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, arise."....41...he presented her alive.
If you cannot pray the dead back to life, you might not be a true apostle.
Romans 1:11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;
If you do not possess the ability to impart spiritual gifts, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 3:1-8 ...2 And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb....6 But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene---walk!"......8 With a leap he stood upright and began to walk...
If perhaps, you do not have the power to heal men who have been crippled from birth, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 5:3-10 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit...9 Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well." 10 And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last....
If you cannot predict the immediate death of someone who has lied to the Holy Spirit, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 13:8-11.....9 But Saul, who was also know as Paul...10...said, "You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord? 11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time....
If for some unknown reason you lack the ability to temporarily blind a sorcerer, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 16:16-18 ...a slave-girl having a spirit of divination... 18 But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.
If you cannot cast out occult spirits, you might not be a true apostle.
Acts 2:43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
If you are not capable of performing many signs and wonders, you might not be a true apostle.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER, IS THE APOSTLESHIP CEASED WITH THE DEATH OF THE APOSTLE JOHN.
YOU MIGHT NOT BE A TRUE APOSTLE;BECAUSE ALL THE TRUE APOSTLES ARE DEAD!
