I am really starting to hate social media. I learned a long time ago that everything is a double-edged sword in life, including the internet. From a positive viewpoint, the internet has allowed Christians like me to exponentially reach people with the truth for the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, from a negative viewpoint, I have never seen so much hateful slander, lies and attempts by wicked people to destroy other people's lives.
Case in point is famous actor Jerry Lewis (1926-2017). Like the rest of us, Jerry Lewis was a guilty sinner and he made a lot of unwise decisions in his life. We are all guilty of sin! If you deny that, you need to get saved before it is too late (1st John 1:8-10). No one is going to Heaven who denies being a guilty sinner. The main reason for Christ coming into the world and dying on a cross was to redeem humanity from sin and Hell. Sadly, it does not appear that Mr. Lewis was a born again Christian at the time of his death. During his first marriage to Patti Palmer for 36 years (1944-1980), her Catholic faith dominated the family. Catholicism is a prisonhouse of religion without salvation. When asked about his beliefs at the end of his life, Jerry said that “Religion is in the heart.” That is a far cry from faith in Jesus Christ.
I read this week after CNN mogul Ted Turner (1938-2026) died that he didn't want to go to Hell, so he changed from being an atheist to agnostic (i.e., not sure what you believe). Sadly, that is not enough to save a man! John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
But sadly, many women don't even know what sexual harassment means anymore. Case in point is this ridiculous slander on Wikipedia...
In 2024, the Brazilian actress Bianca Rinaldi revealed on a podcast an incident of harassment by Lewis when she was a teenager and Paquita (Xuxa's TV show assistant) in the early 90s at the international Emmy awards. "I asked: 'What happened?' She (Xuxa) replied: 'He was looking at your butt. Come on, a girl! I went to talk to him so he wouldn't keep looking,'" She stated. Wikipedia
Bianca Rinaldi didn't even know that Jerry Lewis was (allegedly) looking at her butt. That is NOT sexual harassment!!! If she caught him doing it, and told him to please stop gawking at her, and he kept doing it anyway, that could be construed as “sexual harassment.” But Bianca wouldn't even have known that a man was admiring her sexy caboose, if her co-worker hadn't told her about it. This is ungodly slander, trying to tear down the name and reputation of a man. Proverbs 11:9, “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
I have noticed that whenever some bad news comes out in the media about a person (famous or not), the ungodly social media cockroaches come out of their crevices to jump on the bandwagon. I hate our rotten American media with a passion! Any time that someone is accused of committing a crime, the media immediately runs to the man's neighbours, friends, co-workers and family in an attempt to dig up more dirt to add to their pile of manure, and then spread it everywhere in society. The American media are the ultimate Pharisaical hypocrites!
I also have read numerous websites that wrongfully attempt to demonize Jerry Lewis for not leaving anything in his will to his four sons from his previous marriage to Patti Palmer. She divorced Jerry in 1980 after 36 years of marriage (allegedly due to his infidelities with other women). The court awarded Patti $450,000 a year in alimony! So, why would Jerry leave anything to the four sons from his first marriage, when their mother got far more than she deserved? I would have done exactly what Mr. Lewis did, leaving everything to his second wife of 34 years who stayed faithfully by his side until death (as a godly wife does)? If those four boys didn't get any money after Jerry died in 2017, that is their mother's responsibility and fault, not their father's whom she threw under the bus and abandoned!
I felt sick today when I read Wikipedia's slander about Jerry Lewis. It is unbelievable that anybody can literally maliciously say anything about anyone and it becomes as factual information on Wikipedia, which erroneously their owners claim to be a reliable source of information. Wikipedia is full of lies, false information and hateful slander, connecting dots that don't exist to tear down the names of good people and godly pastors like Dr. Jack Hyles.
And I'll tell you something else, it will be a cold day in Hell before I ever donate a single penny to a wicked, slanderous, poop-machine like Wikipedia!!!
