Larry King's Wife Is A Christian?

Larry King Live | 12-28 | Larry King

Larry King while inverviewing James Lipton from Inside The Actors Studio asks the question, "What is your favorite curse word?" Lipton says it is not vulgar, or scatological. It is "Jesus Christ." King responds with some shock and states that this would be a very disturbing epithet to his wife because she is a believer.

[buccaneer81]

King's wife is a Mormon.

[gubamyster]

And when they both asked each other what they hope God would say if/when they got to heaven they both said "See, James/Larry, you were wrong" indicating thet neither of them are believers.

I haven't watched CNN or Larry spew-King in years (the last time was when he told somebody “I love that man” referring to Clinton), but happened to be flipping around & stopped for a minute at this point. I guess it will be many more years before I stop on CNN again while channel surfing.

[Lilly]

Oh brother. A moron? LOL Sorry, couldn't resist. I grew up next to them. Very deceived lot.
-That's just another denomination. (Meaning she isn't a member of Christ's church.)

HOWARD STERN: Randy, you're on the air.

RANDY (phone caller): Hey, Howard, the other night, Tom Cruise was on Larry King and Larry King was telling him he was friends with L. Ron Hubbard.

HOWARD: You know that's not true.

RANDY: That's what--I know it wasn't true but it was really funny to hear him say that.

HOWARD: How does--how does CNN allow Larry King to do a show every night and then make claims that he's friends with people after he blatantly lied and said that he was friends with Sandy Koufax and Larry doesn't even know Sandy Koufax? In other words, where's the credibility in this show? Where's CNN's credibility?

RANDY: I don't know.

HOWARD: I mean, Larry King's a liar!

RANDY: Totally. It was just really funny.

HOWARD: He didn't know L. Ron Hubbard.

RANDY: Of course, he didn't.

HOWARD: And even if he did, how is he ever gonna prove it? No one believes him.

ROBIN QUIVERS: Right. And what was the point of saying that to Tom Cruise? That "I'm friends with L. Ron Hubbard!"--

HOWARD: Because Larry King is sucking Tom Cruise's, uh, you know, choad, by saying that. Because it's like, you know, "Hey, I knew your God" because L. Ron Hubbard is God to Tom Cruise, because Tom Cruise--

ROBIN: Yeah, but how does that help the interview?

ARTIE LANG: (impersonating Larry King) I knew God--

HOWARD: (impersonating Larry King) I knew your God!

ARTIE: (still impersonating Larry King) Yeah!

HOWARD: (still impersonating Larry King) This Jew knew your God!

ROBIN: (impersonating Larry King) I had dinner with God! (laughs)

ARTIE: (still impersonating Larry King) How do you like them apples?

HOWARD: (still impersonating Larry King) L. Ron and I double-teamed Marilyn Monroe!

(Robin starts laughing)

ARTIE: (still impersonating Larry King) With Jackie Gleason and Sandy Koufax!

ROBIN: (impersonating Larry King) We used to go to the track together!

HOWARD: (back in his regular voice) That's like telling a Christian you met Jesus! (Robin starts laughing) I mean, you know, that's why he's telling him that.

ARTIE: He's old enough to meet Jesus!

ROBIN: (regular voice) So weird.

HOWARD: Because Tom Cruise probably got all doughy-eyed when, uh, Larry said, (impersonating Larry King) "I knew L. Ron Hubbard."

RANDY: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry!

HOWARD: C'mon, Randy!

RANDY: I forgot.

HOWARD: I know you.

RANDY: I know, I know you tell me--

HOWARD: Now you ruined the whole interview! You--you said the S-word, dude.

RANDY: I'm sorry.

HOWARD: I had to hit the button--I don't even know what gets bleeped out when I do that.

RANDY: I know, it's crazy.

HOWARD: You throw my whole show into disarray when you curse.

RANDY: I'm sorry. I just forgot. That's it.

HOWARD: (impersonating Larry King again) I knew your God! (laughter) I knew your God L. Ron Hubbard!

ARTIE: (impersonating Larry King) Get down and bow to me!

HOWARD: (impersonating Larry King) The E-table was my idea! (in regular voice) That's the clay table, Larry! (impersonating Larry King again) Oh! Yeah! Well, whatever! Dianetics! E-table!

ARTIE: (impersonating Larry King) Dali! (laughter)

HOWARD: (back to regular voice) Thank you. Okay, Robin, let's wrap it up.

I've been working graveyard for more than 20 years. Years ago I used to listen to Larry King when he had his overnight radio talk show, this is when he was on ALL night to about 5 in the morning IIRC. He wasn't bad, he had funny stories, a smart mouth and did have decent interviews and all in all held my interest. I wasn't as aware of left-right politics back then so I really don't remember if he was a lefty then. I do remember when Rush came along and Larry started dissing him. That was when I started listening to the Rush repeats at night instead of King and became more politically aware. Jim Bohannon was filling a lot later when Larry started having heart trouble and I did consider Bohannon somewhat conservative and also many may not remember but Larry had Chris Matthews on alot too. I assume this is the same waffle we see on the tube today. Of course King and Howard Stern always did have a running stichk, sometimes I think it was a set-up like Lawler and Kaufman.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

weather shes a christian or not is not up to us to decide

Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Jhn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I once dated a very beautiful girl who was going to Baylor University, a devout "Christian". I was just happy sitting beside her - she made me giddy with her smile. As we were sitting together talking about ourselves in the subtle art of discovery of two people interested in each other - sparks flying everywhere - an LDS commercial came on the TV. She stopped the conversation and watched the commercial - a little piece about the life of Jesus Christ, and an offer to learn about the LDS faith.

"Mormons," she said, "they're all going to Hell and they don't have a clue."

I smiled at her, closed my eyes, got up and told her, "Well, you obviously don't want me in your life."

She sat stunned, her mouth gaping down.

"Look, you just insulted me, my friends, my belief system - and you don't know the first thing about how I live, what I believe, or who I am - and quite frankly, I don't think you'll be happy with me."

With that, I walked out of her door.

Of all sad words by song or pen, the saddest are these - "What might have been."

I miss her.

Deception is a funny word. But . . . truth is independent of belief. The earth is round you know.

[boomop1]

Another Lottism.

Cats eat grass to induce vomiting. This is useful, to prevent formation of bezoars (hair balls that could obstruct the gastrointestinal tract) because they constantly groom themselves by licking. Though we humans do not have the same potential for bezoar formation, it's possible that periodic emesis could be healthy. Channel surfing through CNN however is vastly overdoing it. Too much vomiting can damage the esopaphagus, even fatally, and there have been cases of gastric rupture. Please be careful.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Why does is matter what religion is wife is? She is his 7th wife and he is her 3rd husband. Her name is Shawn Southwick and she is a Mormon from Utah. Those are the facts.

[AppyPappy]

he is her 3rd husband

See. Polygamy.

[xm177e2]

With a winning attitude like that?

[Lilly]

Sad story PokeyJoe.
But Mormonism is a man-made religion. Not founded/authorized by Christ. That's basically where the rubber meets the road.

[txzman]

Being a Mormon IS NOT being a Christian. There is no debate or lines to draw here, it is fact.

If Larry King's wife is a professed Mormon, she is not a follower of Jesus Christ. Period.

[mqg25]

"Mormonism is a man made religion, not founded/authorized by Christ."

I would like to know who made you judge? I know a lot of man made religions all started by men.. In fact every sect from Methodist, Baptist and so forth were started by a religious leader. Did you talk to Christ and he told you this? Where do you get your information? From what I read from the Bible God judges from the heart and does not specify what religion your associated with. Please tell me what sect you belong to so I can see if your membership is authorized, eh?

BTW..I am not a Mormon

[PokeyJoe]

Okay.

Well, I prayed about it and God told me to become a mormon.

How do you refute personal revelation? Are you going to make a statement about my mental sanity?

My father is Catholic.
I have a cousin who is a Priest.
My Mother is Pentecostal.
My Brother-in-Law is a Pentecostal Preacher.
I have prayed with Baptists in Memphis TN.
I have prayed with Episcopals in Virginia Beach.
I conversed with "New Age" folks in California.
I danced around a fire with aboriginals in Australia.
I admired the tenets of the Shinto as I clapped (to get the ancestors attention that I was talking to them) and offered rice.
I meditated with Buddhist monks.
I ate monkey meat with pagans in the Pacific Islands.
I broke bread with some Muslims (follower of Islam) as we discussed the Koran and Sharia.
I ate some of the best vegetarian food that I've ever had with some Wicca.
. . .
You claim that the LDS faith is a religion that is not founded nor authorized by Christ - and I state that is.

I repented of my sins.
I was baptised in the name of Jesus Christ.
I accepted the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus Christ is my personal savior.
Are not these the tenets of faith for a Christian?

The LDS chruch is not perfect. We have faithful who are inactive, who gossip, who are overly "proud" of their Utah heritage, who have an attitude about other religions, as you do about theirs.

But, when compared - I believe that Mormons are more Christian (Christ Like) than any other people I have ever known.

You may be right about where the rubber meets the road, but it doesn't help if you have your car in reverse.

As for me, I've chosen my fate by an act of Free Will.

I am not perfect, but I am a mormon.
