Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.
In this revealing narrative, Micheleangela Brilliance (= =) has precisely interpreted what has been written in the Arrowhead Crown of Stars, by overcoming faith due to revelation time, and decrypting the hidden secrets held within. She has invited God’s chosen people’s space program and aerospace companies to maneuver their satellites or advance technologies in order to resolve and suppress any speculation. When the facts are analyzed, people could rise above civilization type 0, rather than 99 years later. God’s chosen people will be capable of determining the necessary equations from invisible dimensions, where these feathering creatures originated (evidences)? Being rescued from the Biblical Vietnam War by a multitude of unforgettable superheroes, the race in space continues. A retreat does not make us weak. The outcome can be more powerful when we declassify it. Revealing ancient Hebrew documentation, she brings to life the torn pages, and exposes the Vatican’s dark secret (false doctrine, St. Mary crown with 12 stars), expunged and/or sequestered prophecy from St. John, and the Book of Revelation.

This book examines unintended participatory cultures and media surrounding the American televangelists Robert Tilton and Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner. It brings to light heavily ironic fan followings; print, audio, and video projects; public access television parodies; and other comedic participatory practices associated with these controversial preachers from the 1980s onwards. For Tilton’s ministry, some of these activities and artifacts would prove irksome and even threatening, particularly an analog video remix turned online viral sensation. In contrast, Bakker-Messner’s “campy” fans – gay men attracted to her “ludicrous tragedy” – would provide her unexpected opportunities for career rehabilitation. Denis J. Bekkering challenges “supply-side” religious economy and branding approaches, suggestions of novelty in religion and “new” media studies, and the emphasis on sincere devotion in research on religion and fandom. He also highlights how everyday individuals have long participated in public negotiations of Christian authenticity through tongue-in-cheek play with purported religious “fakes.”
