Duck Dynasty's Jase promotes book in FL church. Rolls onto stage on ATV with pastor.
Just a wee bit sensational in my mind. But he played to a full house at the megachurch in Lakeland, a crowd of 3,600.
Duck Dynasty Star Promotes His New Book in Lakeland
Picture courtesy Lakeland Ledger
Jase Robertson, star of the reality TV series "Duck Dynasty," entertained a capacity audience of about 3,600 Sunday morning at Lakeland's Family Worship Center.
Robertson, part of a Louisiana family whose business revolves around manufacturing duck calls, arrived on the stage at the front of the spacious sanctuary riding an all-terrain vehicle, along with the church's pastor, Reggie Scarborough. Robertson wore camouflage pants, a black T-shirt and black cap. His trademark thick beard was on full display.
Robertson, 44, strode the stage wearing a headset microphone and spoke for about 35 minutes. Anecdotes from the shooting of "Duck Dynasty" generated plenty of laughter, but Robertson repeatedly emphasized the role of Christian faith in his life.
...Family Worship Center is an independent Pentecostal church. Though some in the audience wore suits and dresses, many were attired in jeans or camouflage pants and all manner of "Duck Dynasty" T-shirts.

(50,555 posts)I think ol' Jase needs to take a quick look at Matthew 6.24, the one that says you can't serve both God and money. The Dick Dynasty clan might be trying to serve God, but they're serving money like a mo-fo.
Y'all may be familiar with R.M. Palmer, the company that makes chocolate Easter bunnies. They also make a "Duck Dynasty" bar with pictures of our favorite ZZ Top impersonators on it. At the top of the label it says "Duck Bucks" and below that "Money, Family, Ducks." Yeah, that sums them up in one line.

In small towns across America, manly men are customizing their jacked-up diesel trucks to intentionally emit giant plumes of toxic smoke every time they rev their engines. They call it rollin coal, and its something they do for fun.
An entire subculture has emerged on the Internet surrounding this soot-spewing pastimewhere self-declared rednecks gather on Facebook pages (16,000 collective followers) Tumblers and Instagram (156,714 posts) to share photos and videos of their Dodge Rams and GM Silverados purposefully poisoning the sky. As one of their memes reads: Roll, roll, rollin coal, let the hybrid see. A big black cloud. Exhaust thats loud. Watch the city boy flee.

I looked into this last night when I first heard about it...they seem to charge it under either defective exhaust, illegally modified exhaust, exhibition of power or exhibition of speed...in California they write it as an excessive pollution ticket, which is the worst - up to $2500 fine.
