Last Word On Toby and Krystal Keith, And Their Idolizers...

Firstly, I'll observe my Blog Shabbat the full day Saturday (and I need to get better at observing Blog Shabbatot). Secondly, to the point of this blog entry, through research and otherwise doing my homework, I have learned what kind of people Toby and Krystal Keith, and their circles of people are. Staying on the second matter (that is, regarding Toby and Krystal Keith, Denise Denis, Shannon Tanner, and others--and I will name names), I have come to learn that Toby and Krystal Keith, Denise Denis, and Shannon Tanner among others are the kind who would rather:

• Gain the world and lose their souls, even if they proclaim Jesus (Yeshua) while doing so. Besides, Toby Keith attends a heretical church which is part of the Free Will Baptist Church denomination--they believe that one can lose his or her salvation and regain it (Having been raised American Anglican--Episcopalian--I used to believe that heretical belief myself--that is, that one could lose and regain salvation.). When born into and raised in heresy that he or she is unwilling to leave, a person will have his or her heresy reflect on him or her ("Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."). For Toby Keith, his heresy has been reflected in an attitude of, so to speak, "I can do whatever the Hell I want [e.g., "Red Solo Cup"] and regain my relationship with G-d later--or perhaps an attitude of double mindedness, which will result in (given that Toby may not have been saved to begin with--for "by their fruits you shall know them") the curses of Matthew 7:21-23. 

• Not take even suggestions or constructive criticism from fans, former fans, and even ex fans who may well have had their best interest at heart. After all, for example, Krystal Covel Sandubrae apparently wanted to make a name and career for herself; yet she antithetically decided to use the name "Krystal Keith" as opposed to, for instance, "Krystal Covel" or "Krystal Sandubrae". She also decided to antithetically be on her dad's record label, have her dad (in his words) "take the lead" on her career, and release her first single as "Daddy Dance With Me". As far as I'm concerned, she can (so to speak) kiss a name and career in her own right goodbye. She'll be forever known as Toby Keith's daughter who is under Toby Keith's shadow--and given who Toby Keith has been at least of late, I'm not sure that that's something to be proud of, anyway.

• Ignore the warning signs and flags, and statistics. Per my last few blog entries, her ratio of fans as compared to her dad's is from 1/1000 to 8/1000. Meanwhile, Toby Keith losing fans after recording songs such as "Red Solo Cup" (and even back to "How Do You Like Me Now?!" in some cases). Surely, the signs aren't good for either Toby or Krystal. Even further, Toby's apparent song stealing is catching up to him--"I Love This Bar" is apparently not the first case of alleged copyright infringement, which breaks both "Thou shalt not steal" and Romans 13:1-8. After all, Section 1, Article 8 of the U.S. Constitution (which was inspired by the "Copyright Act of 1708") is the law for a reason, and a Christians--as Toby professes to be--is supposed to follow any law that is in line with and/or does not contradict the Word of G-d.

I could go on, but you get the point. By the way, I found another interesting tidbit: Toby Keith may--and I say "may", for I don't know for sure if he--has a history of verbally abusing children. Being a survivor of verbal abuse myself, I say that most people would not have a reason to lie about something like that. The comments to which I linked, by the way:

1. "BRENDA    This is the true Toby that everyone in town knows, he will beat up on anyone and verbally abuse KIDS if you do not do what he wants. For everyone out there that thinks he is so great, he is NOT. This is the real him."
2. "OKLAHOMAGIRL    From what I saw Toby was the one who went to far. He should have never put his hands on that man. Why does he have security? His entourage could have escorted the man out. There was no reason for Toby to get off the stage. His hand gestures were offensive. I know him and this is not a surprising reaction for him to have. He is a jerk and in no way a nice person. This just shows his true character. I agree with 32 [sic. 37] everyone in town knows what he's like it was just a matter of time before someone caught it on tape."
3. "RED ROCK CHIC    The last time that Toby held a concert here in Oklahoma it didn't sell out, so he is going to "starve the market" and not come here for awhile. GOOD! Get a clue, the majority of Oklahoman's know how he really is. I have seen him degrade kids to the point where they have absolutly no respect for the man. I have personaIly witnessed his behavior in the general public and this is no surprise, he is a real prick! I am embarrased to say that he is from Oklahoma."

Especially if the allegations of copyright infringement and even child abuse are true, think about what kind of man you are supporting if you support Toby Keith, and what kind of woman you are supporting if you are supporting Krystal Keith--who is proud to be his daughter. By the way, I speak as a former fan of Toby Keith who was once inspired to be a country singer partly because of Toby Keith's influence on me.
