Johnny Unplugged

It seems  that Johnny Hunt’s comments about  ‘Armini’ ‘Armani’ Ronnie Floyd have went undetected on the SBCBloggosphere: (CLICK HERE TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE)

Here are Johnny’s ‘Published’ Comments:

The Rev. Johnny Hunt, a friend of Floyd’s for 20 years, is president of the Southern Baptist Convention. He thinks Floyd is the most gifted leader in the denomination.

“He oozes leadership,” Hunt says. “He sees the big picture. He knows how to get a vision and is incredible at casting the vision so people can see what he sees.”

Hunt nominated Floyd for the presidency of the denomination in 2006. He lost to the Rev. Frank Page of South Carolina in what turned out to be a challenging time for Floyd. His nomination prompted a backlash from some of the younger Southern Baptists who considered Floyd another “old guard” nominee. Web loggers skewered not only Floyd, but his church.

“He would have been a phenomenal leader,” Hunt says. “They really shot themselves in the foot. We still got a really good man … but Ronnie got blindsided.”

Hunt says he doesn’t know whether Floyd would accept another nomination, but his skills are needed.

“He’s an administrative genius. He knows how to get his arm around something and pull it off. Everything he does is with excellence. He’s always over the top.”

Here are Johnny’s ‘Unplugged’ Comments (CLICK ON ALL HYPERLINKS TO GET THE ‘FULL EFFECT’):

“[Floyd] is the biggest sucker I know . . . he oozes gullibility. ” Hunt says. “Back in 2006, I saw the big picture. I knew the presidency would be determined by strong CP giving. I saw that my minimal CP giving would not make the cut in that particular election. I could not handle having my heels nipped by Tom ‘chihuahua Calvinist*’ Ascol [see endnote], Benjamin ‘chihuahua Calvinist*‘ Cole, Wade Burleson, and Marty Duren. Therefore, my pride won out . . . Seeking to preserve myself for another election,  I bailed out! I bailed out, I tell you! “He oozes leadership,” Hunt says. “He sees the big picture. He knows how to get a vision and is incredible at casting the vision so people can see what he sees.”

Hunt, seeking to save his own tail, withdrew his name from the presidential nomination, and knowing how much Floyd craved the ’spotlight’ nominated Floyd for the presidency of the denomination in 2006. He lost to the Rev. Frank Page of South Carolina in what turned out to be a challenging time for Floyd. Hunt left Greensboro smelling like a rose. His nomination prompted a backlash from some of the younger Southern Baptists who considered Floyd another “old guard” nominee. Web loggers exposed Floyd’s lame CP giving and his church’s fire engine baptistry that had cannons that  shot confetti out while the sirens screamed each time a child was baptized skewered not only Floyd, but his church.

There really was not a ’snowball’s chance in #$#%’ that Ronnie would have been elected! Why do you think that I bailed out? ‘He would have been a phenomenal leader,” Hunt says. “I really used Ronnie as my scapegoat!!!!  “Those morons that voted for Frank Page really ticked me off” They really shot themselves in the foot. We still got a really good man … yeah! right! . . . hey, I know that I just contradicted myself, but I’ve got to say something good about Page, but, thank goodness, Ronnie, instead of me, (whew!) got blindsided.”

Hunt says he doesn’t know whether Floyd’s ego has recovered from his severe whipping in Greensboro would accept another nomination, but Hunt’s conscience still bothers him over how he bailed out of the election and nominated Floyd to be his scapegoat his skills are needed.

[* During a chapel message at Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute, in the Spring of 2006,  Hunt, out of frustration, made reference of the 'chihuahua Calvinist bloggers' pastoring   'small chihuahua churches' having no right to criticize Floyd, a mega-church pastor.]

    chadwick,
    This post,to borrow a phrase from Johnny 3:16,oozes with humor and truth.When I first read Johnny’s description of the most gifted leader in the SBC,Ronnie “Fire engine”Floyd,I thought he was describing a member of the Holy Trinity.And why is it that these super saints who get up at 3 in the morning feel a need to let everybody about it?

    Bill,

    I get up at 6:10 every morning, but Saturday. On Saturday, I get up at 7 am.

    David,
    Will you sign my Bible?
    Bill

  4. volfan007 Says:

    Bill,

    Yes. Do you want me to say that I get up at 3am to pray before I sign it?

    :)

    Vol & hottub,

    I got up at 3:30am this morning with indigestion due to a burrito I had earlier . . . Does that count for anything spiritual? :razz:

    David,Chadwick,Johnny,and Ronnie,
    I have one word for you guys:Prozac!

  7. chadwick Says:

    hottub,

    The time stamp shows that you were up with the roosters & the ‘life coach’! You go, boy!

  8. volfan007 Says:

    Bill and Chadwick,

    I wonder if staying up late counts for spiritual points. I mean, if getting up at 3 am to pray means super spirituality, then why wouldnt staying up to 2 am praying count for something? Huh?

    Then, Bill Poore could sign people’s Bibles, too!

    Vol,

    Will you be the one who will now try to outdo the ‘life-coach’ by getting up at 2am? ;)

    The next thing you know, hottub will top 2am by taking ‘nodose’ pills to avoid sleep altogether. . . We can call him the ‘holy zombie’? :shock:

    Bottom line:
    Artificial holiness (i.e. perfectionism) is a vicious cycle that can never be attained.

    OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FOR DR. DWIGHT EASLER- PRESIDIENTIAL HOPEFUL FOR THE SBC.

    “Dr. Easler, How would you describe yourself?”

    I am a gifted, charismatic, and visionary leader who drinks protein shakes, works out 2 hours per day, sleeps 10 hours per day, and spends most of my waking hours casting a vision for the multitudes of people who listen to me live, or in any of the vast media venues available to them. I wish to refute the idea that I have a private helicopter or private jet. My vintage 1994 Ford Bronco is the only carbon footprint I leave because of transportation needs. I do like expensive suits. The last one I purchased was at the high end clothing store Hamrick’s. I support the Great Commission and believe we ought to love loud and proud!

    God Bless America

    Dr. Dwight Easler

    Thanks,

    David
