USFuneralDirector 2 Posted December 31, 2013 http://www.newsmax.com/US/ruth-graham-billy-peace/2013/12/31/id/544533 Sounds like the end is approaching. If he doesn't go in the next several hours (unlikely), I am hoping DL has him at #1 on the 2014 list (or at least in the top 5). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's good money in it. regards, Hein Yes, I can find it online now but years ago I read an article in which Billy admitted he knew nothing about theology... Wish I could find the article again.

DL/ HPDP fodder for sure, then, but maybe not the nailed-on high-scoring bet some of us Deathracers were hoping for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildstorm 297 Posted January 20, 2014 "So weak that a cold could take his life" according to his son, Franklin. Irrelevant, but I thought it was funny: He goes on to say that he needs his father to survive because he really '...enjoy having lunch with him every Sunday'. Either that's one really amazing lunch or he finds his father so boring that their lunchtime is the only thing he'll miss when Billy dies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted January 21, 2014 I just listen to one of his speeches for the first time...the "What's Wrong with the World" clip from 1958...and to be honest, I couldn't stop laughing at the way he speaks. He sounds so melodramatic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted April 8, 2014 For someone who is so close to the Lord, he doesnt appear to want to meet him any time soon. Thinking about it, Im wondering just how many high profile preachers/people of the cloth have lived to an age beyond the human average. There must be something in prayer.....

gcreptile 10,970 Posted April 8, 2014 Two comedians are dead, and the religious fundamentalist still lives.... I guess it's the same refusal-to-go attitude in life that keeps fundamentalists from dying. They probably believe that if they die, the hippies win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted June 27, 2014 We've all thought Billy was at death's door for the last 6 months, but is he still writing columns/responses to questions from followers? http://www.kansascity.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/billy-graham/article608153.html Or is it one of his employees writing them under his name........

I think she's always lost the plot, I doubt it's a new thing. I've always had a hard time with people insisting that we suddenly start praying. If their deity is omnipresent and omniscient, surely he'd be aware of what's going on. Unless she's suggesting it's a last minute petition to the deity to say "hey don't wipe us out just yet!". But as someone told me a month or so ago when allegedly it was the work of "angels" that saved a small child when he fell out of an 11th floor window onto a pile of mulch and then just a day or so later 250+ Turkish miners were killed, that we weren't to question why "God" does what he does.
