He is a red blooded American male!

That being said, there is always a certain amount of "showmanship"
when it comes to camp meetings and large, important venues.
I am not criticizing GG, but the organization, almost any organization,
has created the possiblity of these things happening.
The greater the "show" the more invitations one receives.
These kinds of things, if they wre real, translate into more meetings.
It is easy to fall into wanting these things to be real instead of having
a healthy skepticism.
All of this would have been OK if they hadn't taken the "bait"
and ran with it.
Some years ago a scallywag
by the name of " G.B. " made the apostolic
pentecostal rounds in the UPCI.

He stated that he came in under the leadeship
of Wilkerson and he supposedly was Nicki Cruz's
gangland running mate.

He also stated that 20 and 30 recieved the Holy
Ghost in each and every service that he conducted.

It seemed that almost everyone was using him
BUT
I felt that something about him did not ring true.

He was speaking in the St Louis area
and
asked my sister-in-law out after Church.

We all went out to a restaurant
and as we were eating and fellowshipping
I mentioned that we had recently been in NYC
even telling him the name of the Church
where I had ministered.

I mentioned that I had talked with a sister
in that church ,{with 4 young children},
who'se husband had left them with no support.

I stated that I knew that NYC is a very large place
but
I still wondered if he knew of her
or
if they could possibly be related
since

they had the same last name.


Well It Seemed That
Ole George Had The Unction
To Suddenly Leave St Louis That Very Night
and
I haven't heard about any Apostolic Church
Using Him Since That Fateful Night -
