PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Allison may have turned to the cloth" |
I posted a link in the link compilation thread. Dopey Dwarf suggested I post reference to it here because people will want to read about it. She's probably right and that thread is pretty tedious and long. It is about Allison, who may or may not have become a minister type. It goes to a church, in her hometown. The site lists an "Allison Stanley" . She is giving a sermon this Sunday called 'Truth and Dare". I can not find a photo of her on the site. All of the staff is there, except "allison Stanley" , go figure. There is an e-mail though. an AOL e-mail. Perhaps someone with AOL can check out the profile on aol, see if there is one. The head Rev also mentions Allison Stanley as an asset to the church or something. Perhaps this is why we haven't heard from her except for the 5k race? Seems like those who go on and have something to do, just sort of disappear because they are busy. more power to them.

1. "RE: Allison may have turned to the cloth" |
It is also possible that Allison Stanley was approved to give a sermon in her own church as a layperson, without being recognized as "clergy." ("the cloth")It depends on the religion as to the "rules" of who is allowed in the pulpit for a Sunday sermon. It would also explain why Allison Stanley isn't listed anywhere in the "staff directory." She is probably listed in the "membership directory." My guess is Allison is an active member of her congregation that either requested to speak, or was invited to do so by the Religious Services Chair and the Reverend. This could be a one-shot deal, too. Also, some congregations will pay members for a sermon, but some do not. For Allison's sake, I hope she is in one of the churches that pay for guest speakers (a lot of work goes into a sermon--a good sermon especially.) OK, admittedly, there is a part of me that would like to see Allison give a sermon---the same part of me that cheers for the underdog, and the part of me that knows how hard it is to stand in a pulpit and see a congregation in divided attention. (I do that several times a year. It's not easy.)

Sorry to be cynical here, but I think Allison is doing this to kill 2 birds with 1 stone...she'll probably add this to her "public speaking" resume, plus by being affiliated with a church, she is probably hoping to erase her public image as a scammer.I'm not exactly sure how well what she's learning from Iyanla and USMC fits in with a Methodist church...she must take a different "angle" with her "sermons".

LAST EDITED ON 06-13-06 AT 03:30 PM (EST)The church is a United Methodist Church and they often use lay persons to fill in for the pastor on occasion. Lay Leaders are church members that oversee various ministries in their church. Usually they are required to be church members. Allison is listed in Witness/Evangelism. This means that she oversees the area of witnessing and evangelism in her church. This ministry is the one that organizes door to door visits within their community (a very southern thing). She probably also coordinates outreach type events. Lay Leaders are not paid staff members. The beauty of this is that she did NOT advertise this, she did not boast about it. She is quietly serving in her church - as it should be. 
God is good all the time and all the time, God is good.

Ya know Mama you could be right about Allison.
She may be spending most of her money on WINE.
