I know I might shock some folks here, but I have to say that Williams was spot on!! TBH, I had to pray at the beginning of his message because of all kinds of stuff running thru my mind (won't get into that here) suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised by his message.

Why did you have to pray at the beginning of his message

What do you mean

You know he was right on even if you didn't read it by just what he was being accused of:

"Reverend Jasper Williams Jr, pastor of Salem Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, is a homophobic, sexist, misogynist, ableist, uneducated bigot who is disrespecting Auntie Aretha Franklin at her funeral," Lyve wrote. "She wasn't about nonsense."

And this response:

"There's a reason Aretha Franklin ASKED Jasper Williams to do her eulogy. She knew what time it was. She knew her people needed some truth. Most will reject it and continue to embrace chaos. Some will hear, learn, and change course. Time is running out. #ArethaHomegoing," he wrote.

When the girl with the super short skirt got up to sing (ms Grande) Bishop Ellis said something like “I didn’t know who you was.. when I saw your name on the program, I thought it was new dish on the menu at Taco Bell like Ariana Grande..’ something to that effect.

A lot of people are saying he was insulting

Newsweek already has an article about it
