Okay, so his words, what did they accomplish? Did they educate, communicate, improve any thing? Perhaps, he missed the sunday school lesson of do unto others as you would them do to you. I heard no negative comments toward him or his family. Which by all accounts could have been accomplished very easily.
His posse, the wife and daughter not dare do anything without his permission, of course they would stand behind him, they are not allowed to be in front of him. And his son were not cowering behind him, they were just waiting if any physical outburst occurred they would have stepped up and took the beating or gave one before the dad. Rule of thumb protect your leader, standard in combat.

Thanks, but I have no desire to have people want to lay hands on me and start chanting in some strange voices, and asking jesus to remove the demons from me. Tell me I am a Jezebel, and satan sent me to test them. Once was enough for me.

Even though not big into basketball, except for my son's games, find the sport too noisy. I understand the impact of comparison you are trying to make.
