5 Things You Didn't Know About Johnny Cash On January 13, 1968, country musician Johnny Cash recorded a live concert at Folsom Prison in California. To celebrate this anniversary in music, here are five things you didn't know about "The Man in Black"... The Popular Country Singer’s Name Wasn’t Johnny Cash It wasn’t unusual in the day and age when Cash was born in 1932 that parents gave their children only initials in place of a name, and that was the case with Johnny Cash. One of his parents wanted to name him Ray, and the other wanted to name him John, so they compromised and named him J.R. It wasn’t until 1950 when Cash went into the Air Force that he needed a first name, so his initials J.R. turned into John R. Cash. He Was Arrested Several Times Over the Years Cash was placed under arrest seven times over the years, some of those times for drug use, but he only served one day in jail. This only seemed to help his career because he went to play at prisons for the inmates, producing two albums in 1968 and 1969, “Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison” and “Johnny Cash at San Quentin.” Because he was sympathetic toward those who were imprisoned, he visited prisons to entertain all through his career. He Saw His Brother Die and Helped Dig the Grave A tragedy that may have influenced Cash throughout the years was the death of his brother Jack, who was religious and might have become a preacher had he lived. Johnny was only 12 years old when a table fatally injured his brother saw. Jack only lived for about a week after his injury. Johnny helped to dig the grave for his brother, and it was said that his clothes were dirty and he was shoeless at his brother’s funeral service. The Government Sued Him Over a Forest Fire While on a trip to California’s Los Padres National Forest with Damon Fielder, his nephew, Cash’s camper caught on fire. The fire spread, burning down more than 500 acres of forest and driving away 49 out of the 53 endangered condors that lived there. He was sued by the Federal Government, which won more than $125,000 in reparations. Cash ended up negotiating the debt and paid about $82,000. Cash Was a Talented Writer in Addition to Being a Musician Cash wrote poems and stories, and drew sketches when he was a child. His first published piece was in "Stars and Stripes" after he entered the U.S. Air Force. He also penned two autobiographies, which he wrote out in longhand, that were published as Man in Black and Cash: The Autobiography.

5 Things You Didn't Know About All in the Family On January 12, 1971, the sitcom "All in the Family" premiered on CBS. Here are 5 fascinating tidbits you might not have known about this groundbreaking show... Mickey Rooney Was Offered the Role of Archie Bunker Before Carroll O’Connor was offered the role of Archie Bunker, veteran actor Mickey Rooney was offered the part. However, he turned it down right away. Later, Carroll O’Connor said that he based the voice of Archie Bunker on a combination of Jackie Gleason's and James Cagney's voices. Three Separate Pilots Were Filmed to Find a Sponsor for the Show When sponsors were sought for "All In the Family," there were plenty of “rural” shows on television, including "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Green Acres" and others. This show was so different that three separate pilots were produced to show to potential sponsors. All of them starred Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton, but the characters of Gloria and Michael were different in each pilot, though Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner continued in those roles. In the 1969 version, Chip Oliver, who was one of the Oakland Raiders, played “Meathead” in the pilot. The Character of Archie Was Based in Part on Norman Lear’s Dad Norman Lear’s father had many things in common with Archie Bunker, and Lear said the character indeed was based in part on his dad. His family referred to the elder Lear as “King Lear"; he had his own living room chair that no one else could sit in, and the members of the family shouted all the time. Lear also said his father told him often that he was a “lazy white kid,” so it sounds as though he grew up in a family that was very much like the Bunkers. Jean Stapleton Was a Big Star on Broadway In real life, Jean Stapleton was an accomplished singer despite her voice as Edith Bunker. She had performed in the 1950s in "Bells Are Ringing" and "Damn Yankees" both on stage and in film. In addition, she and O’Connor had worked together before in the television drama "The Defenders." The Show Originally Posted a Mature Audience Warning CBS expected backlash about the nature of "All In The Family." The network posted a disclaimer that the show made fun of prejudices and human frailties, so it was designated for mature audiences. CBS even hired many extra phone operators to handle the phone calls they expected to receive. It turned out that the audience liked the show, and the only phone calls were complaining that they couldn’t understand the words to the theme song.

Submit yourselves therefore

Many feel the churches have become gynocentric places that only attract beta-males and "real men" just are not willing to put up with it. The WO movement is evidence as it is largely pushed by men.

Elder Jackson is their latest villain. He gets to join the list that includes the post 1888 Mrs. White, Willie White, A. G. Daniels, W. W. Prescott and others. Of course they have a history of as time goes by they end up baptizing their villains saying that they were actually good historical Adventists and attack the new villains of the time they are living in as the ones who started to cause the problems. So if time were to last and this sub-group of Adventism were to remain true to their past history, in about 100 years Elder Jackson will be painted as a strong supporter of the ideas of Folcrum7 and that the problem's did not start until later as they give their new list of villains.
