25 Secret Things You Didn’t Know About MEN WHO SPEAK

105 Replies

This week at the Urban Academics Roundtable, we are honoring Twenty-Five Men Who Speak; It’s Black King Joy, for sure!. The vast majority of men will tell you they know women speak more often and out loud more than men. Even one Chosen Visionary swears women have a certain gland somewhere between the mouth and ears (probably the throat too), causing women to talk to hear themselves talk. He says it’s science, but the jury is still out on that one.

Here, we are celebrating Twenty-Five Men Who Speak: It’s Black King Joy during this special occasion HOT-Segment – You don’t want to miss this. Every Thursday at 9:30 pm (EDT); A FREE invitation for you to join us, but you should Register Here.

The Best April Fools Joke Ever – The Crucifixion of Jesus

661 Replies

Some might agree it would be the best joke ever if Jesus yelled “April Fools” when they found him missing from the tomb – After the Crucifixion! According to the story, Jesus was hung on a cross/tree and left for dead. They didn’t know ransomed for the whole world to see, and it backfired. The rest is considered Easter.

Today, it might be easier to believe in April Fool’s pranks and hoaxes; It’s hard to think of Jesus actually “Cracking the Sky” and coming back physically to rapture up his people. Do you believe he’s coming back? Do you believe that time is near? Could the crucifixion be more of a metaphor than anything else?

If you can remember, Easter was canceled for the first time in 2020 during COVID-19 leaving many folks with mixed feelings. But this week’s HOT-Seat Chosen Visionary brings the fire bridging the gap between April Fool’s, The Crucifixion, and Easter – His name again is Elder Roger Wilkins, and he will be looking for you at the Roundtable – Do NOT Miss It. Please join us; Grab A Seat Here!

You might think combining the crucifixion with comedic fun is disrespectful. You could be right if I’m guilty of pointing out certain things or leaning towards something other than the familiar. However, the world as we knew it had changed forever. What was hidden in plain sight can be no more. We cannot ignore the obvious to fit into a status quo that does not include us.

There are so many holidays considered pagan, but Easter can become very sensitive because it deals with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. No one really wants to be on the wrong side of that argument. Just be open enough to enjoy each moment, including those when your brain begins to sharpen with new concepts and ideas.

There’s nothing new here – Any man of the cloth can make the correlation to Satan’s upset when Jesus was no longer in the tomb and came up missing. If he (satan) were omnipresent, could Jesus had gotten away with it? On the flip side, if these Bible accounts are too much for your belief system, you can still see the humor in the story as it relates to April Fools and Easter – FOr some odd reason, they are all rolled up together this year. That’s humor and irony!
