And we’re still not talking about the theft of the 2016 and 2024 elections, or the attempted theft of 2020, from which we were saved only by the surge in vote-by-mail brought on by COVID.

THE DEDICATION CEREMONY: A LITURGICAL RECORD
Office of Spiritual Affairs, Mar-a-Lago Resort and Conference Center
Prepared for Distribution to Participating Ministries
ORDER OF SERVICE
Consecration and Dedication of the Golden Form
May 2026
PRELUDE
The assembly gathered at seven o’clock in the East Ballroom, capacity four hundred, which was sufficient. Name tags had been prepared in advance. Refreshments were available on request. Valet parking had been arranged. The golden form stood at the front of the room on a draped platform, eight feet tall. The form depicted a standing man in a suit with one arm raised. There was no plaque. Identification was considered unnecessary.
CALL TO WORSHIP
The presiding minister opened with a prayer of gratitude, thanking God for the opportunity to gather, for safe travels, for this country, for its leadership, for Mar-a-Lago, for the quality of the audiovisual setup. He noted that history was being made. Several attendees nodded. The golden form did not move.
SCRIPTURAL READING
The assigned reader read from selected passages. The passages had been provided in advance and the reader read them as provided. Several passages from the Psalms were included. The passage from Exodus 32 was not included. This was not noted by any attendee, or if noted, was not remarked upon. The reader concluded and returned to his seat. Applause was appropriate and provided.
REMARKS
The first minister to offer remarks thanked the host for the invitation and thanked the Lord for the host. He said that this was a sacred moment. He said that what was happening in this room was not a political act but a spiritual one. He said that God raises up leaders for His purposes and we need not always understand those purposes to honor them. He said that the golden form was not an idol but a symbol of gratitude, a vessel of prayer, a monument to the providential hand of God made visible in our national life. He said he had been in ministry for thirty-seven years. He said this was the most important room he had ever stood in.
He did not say which other rooms he had considered.
The second minister affirmed the remarks of the first minister and added supplementary remarks that affirmed the remarks of both ministers. He said the word “anointing” eleven times. A count was maintained by a staff member for administrative purposes.
THE LAYING ON OF HANDS
The presiding minister invited the assembly to approach the golden form in an orderly fashion. He asked that phones be put away. Several phones were raised instead. This was understood as an expression of spiritual enthusiasm rather than a violation of the request.
Ministers approached the form and placed their hands upon it. Some placed two hands. Some bowed their heads. One minister appeared to weep, though this was not confirmed, and may have been perspiration, as the room was warm and the golden form reflected light onto the faces of those nearest to it in a manner that affected visibility.
The hands remained on the form for the duration of the prayer.
The golden form did not speak. This was noted approvingly by the presiding minister, who said that the Lord speaks through stillness. He said this with his hands still on the form.
BENEDICTION
The benediction was offered. The assembly was dismissed. The valet brought the cars. Business cards were exchanged near the refreshment table. Several ministers took photographs with the golden form. One minister took eleven photographs and reviewed each one before moving on. He appeared satisfied.
ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES
The ceremony lasted one hour and fourteen minutes. No incidents were reported. The form was undamaged. The drape was returned to storage. The room was restored for the following morning’s breakfast service.
Three attendees requested copies of the liturgy for use in their home congregations. Copies have been prepared.
A Sunday school curriculum packet is in development for the 2026-2027 academic year. The target age range is six to twelve. Field-testing is scheduled for fall.
Attendance has been recorded.

Reproduction by critics of this ceremony is expected and has been accounted for.
Exodus 32:4 – “He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’”

I would ask the Pastor why he’s praying to a false idol? That’s exactly what the golden calf was. I’m ashamed to see Jews at this presentation. BTW who’s paying for this golden s…t all over the country? People can’t buy food, gas, medicine. He’s a bully being given permission to bully. He’s too stupid to realize he’s being used as a pawn. He’s not getting accurate information about the world buy those mealy mouthed, weak members of the Supreme Court and the congress who I’m sure are making money over the backs of Americans. I hope you all can never sleep again!
I also wonder about all the money being thrown around for a variety of things. Is it REAL money changing hands? If it is, who is actually collecting? I truly don’t understand where the money comes from and where it goes.
Sadly, the politicians will probably sleep well tonight. I, on the other hand, will be up all night with a sick stomach.
America is finished. I don’t understand how y’all still have hope. Bless you for still believing, but I can’t anymore. I lost my only friend over this nonsense, a friend of over 10 years. I mourn for him every single day. All I can do is pray that my life ends sooner rather than later.
We are watching a hybrid epoch, melding two things together as in The Fly. It's grotesque, it's disgusting, and worst, there us NOTHING to be done about it. We have to know it, yet we are powerless to stop any of it. The melding now of the Donald Trump era and the Nazi Germany era is train-wreck fascinating. SO much damage, everywhere, on every front, in every nook of the economy (except high finance and oligarchies) and culture of America and regard for this country around the world...it is all so heartbreaking.
We shouldn’t have to deal with this shit anymore.
His expiration is LONG past its date.
He’s gotta go.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Instead of a golden calf, they’re worshipping a golden pig!
Insult to pigs which are very intelligent!
Who needs a cash cow when you have a cash calf.
The have never read Exodus, I see.
Lolol!
Awesome Gina!!🇨🇦
All bow before the Golden Nether Pig.
The Chosen One,
Oinkus Trumpositus !
The next time DOGE comes to town,they can clean House.And the Senate.And the Cabinet.And the……………. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And we’re still not talking about the theft of the 2016 and 2024 elections, or the attempted theft of 2020, from which we were saved only by the surge in vote-by-mail brought on by COVID.
It's NOT a "golden calf?!?" Now that's a LOT of bull!
The Bible addresses those who pose as "followers of Christ" who will intentionally mislead the masses - does this sound frighteningly familiar?
Did they pee on it?
Oh geez - I dearly hope somebody does!🇨🇦
I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto the a graven image.
The literal first two commandments
The mountain has come to M? Moses couldn’t/wouldn’t make this up.

I can’t even read the article because I’ll vomit 🤮 Behold the AntichrisT
Blasphemy 🔥⚡️
If it isn't microscopic he believes it is. Probably can't find it under that gut overhang.
so bizarre to have a personality cult built on a man with such a repulsive personality.
