Anybody got any pics of Homer Tomlinson? Or do you have any links to some?

Thanks

I have that button, thanks to a Jude2-er!

I once had pictures of him in his royal attire, crown, and church flag.
I can't find them now. I'm sure someone here posted them or linked to them.

Thanks forestwalker for the pics you found.

I was going to post that button as well. Poimen someone here has posted a picture of Homer in his royal attire in a feet washing service, whoever did that could re post it I am sure. It was maybe 6 months ago, I may have saved it I will look. I thought it was Gerald or Dajudge that posted it.

Sad.

I thought you were talking about Homer--the ancient Greek Poet.

Nope, no pictures.

Ted Carr musta been a very important man..they kept mentioning his name.

I wonder what the locals were thinking? "Boy, these Christians get weirder and weirder."

I know many of you on this site think that Bro Homer Tomlinson was a crazy old man -- but in fact he was crazy like a fox. Do you have any idea of all the free publicity he received by doing the things he did. He was able to reach thousands of people that may never have been reached by his unusual antics. He was in the newspapers time & time again, he made several television appearances, his name being on the presidential ballot kept The Church of God in front of the people year after year.

1Cr 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Bro Homer was dedicated to the call of God on his life. He mortgaged his own personal home time & time again to further the work of the church.

One memorable event published in the Queens New York paper -- a report came to his home which was very modest, Bro Homer used the basement of his home as the office of the church. The reporter trying to make fun of him said so THIS is the office of The Church of God -- Bro Homer with a twinkle in his eye answer "Why yes, this is much better than a stable that our Lord & King was born in isn't it"

My family having known Bro Homer personally can tell you for an assurity that he did not think he was any kind of a great man, just a servant of God. He would use his strange antics to get an audience, then once he had them he preached the word of God to them.

People today & also in Jesus time would say that Jesus was crazy, spitting in the mud to cure a man's eyes -- come on -- but any of you that have read the bible know that's exactly what happened.

Telling a man to go wash himself in a muddy river to heal his leprosy -- ludicrous -- but guess what -- it cured him.

Unless you look at the whole picture it's easy to make fun 2Cr 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.

Even if he were a crazy old man -- which he WAS NOT, that is still no reason to make light of him. Judge not lest ye be judged.

So how did that work when he threatened to dynamite Fields of The Wood?

Whoop, wait a minute.

For the Record...
I did not ask for pictures to instigate anything other than finding pictures for a church of God heritage network I'm running.

Here's a good one, complete with a "burger-king-style" crown.
