New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia is capitalizing on the hype surrounding the Netflix thriller Bird Box. The film stars Sandra Bullock as a mother-of-2 who battles an unknown force to save the lives of her children.
Bird Box was viewed by 45 million subscribers in the 1st week of release, making it Netflix’s biggest 7-day viewership of all time.
After surviving an apocalypse that wipes out most of mankind, Mallory (Bullock) and her 2 children seek refuge with a small group of survivors. There she finds love and safety with Tom (Trevante Rhodes).
Mallory learns that a mysterious force causes people to go insane when they are faced with their worst fears.
Mallory, her children and the other survivors wear blindfolds to avoid seeing the mysterious entity. They are forced to rely on their hearing and other senses.
After losing Tom to the mysterious force, Mallory learns of a sanctuary that offers hope and a new life for her children. But the sanctuary is only accessible by navigating a small boat down a hazardous river. In order to survive, Marorie must complete the treacherous two-day journey while blindfolded.
New Hope Macon Church Pastor Chris Cabiness incorporated the film’s hype to inspire his flock to come to church wearing blindfolds in order to fully hear his message of hope and survival.
At the end of the sermon, church members remove their blindfolds to face their challenges in life without fear.

Her name is MALLORY, Sandra. Not Marjorie.
SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read the write up, if you haven’t seen the movie. Sandra really out here giving away the WHOLE MOVIE plot.
The show’s plot is stupid.
Oh ok..https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dccb8630c14aba2984f3f7df8d1a7b93dabac68207be75d389823b4fbe8192bb.gif
Did he get permission to even use their likeness for his flyer??? #LAWSUIT
Meh. The blind leading the blind. I Hated this movie with all my heart. I grew up listening to the Clark sisters, very talented women.
What’s the hype about?? Was the film THAT good?? I didn’t see it
Eh… it was okay. It left a lot of unanswered questions, and a lot of unbelievable parts.

Black preachers always teach everything else BUT the truth! Anything for a Creflo Dolla! ?
Her name was Mallory in the movie
Sandra gave the entire movie away in a few paragraphs
No, it wasn’t. It’s not a bad movie, but I think people were more enthralled by the concept.

Good movie but there are better movies on Netflix. Definitely over-hyped.
Very true some of these folks” need Jesus” cause it’s some very twisted minds on here that make outrageous comments!
I started reading and was like.. okay damn. Glad I watched the movie already. Sh!t.
I said this when it first posted.. but her name is MALLORY. Steve Harvey’s wife was not in this film.
Her name is Malorie. Not Marjorie, auntie. Like this write up
Leave Christianity. Stick to the book. Upon reading the book for yourself and doing in-depth research, you’ll conclude that the religion Christianity is pagan and deception. The book goes against the fundamental teaching of Christianity
No, we don’t need JC. That’s a different Messiah. Stick with the true one, Yahusha
What’s the proof it’s not a fairytale
??? just straight up misinformation
His subject matter is relevant and current and using it for his parishioners is a brilliant move.
I don’t understand your question
I had MAD questions afterwards. I told my guy I think I missed something maybe. He was like naw. They skipped over it lol
People need compassion, a moral compass, detachment to material items, and to be thankful for what they have
Right on
Yeah to tell that he dies is all sorts of wrong
I think it all goes back to these broken homes with no famliy structure
We gon talk about Kanye new rant against drake?
Both of them are false stories no such thing as a supernatural being it’s all folklore
I’m pretty sure the characters name is Malorie…send this movie twice ?
Prove it
Pretty sure it is too, lol.
Read about the First Council of Nicaea they put a bunch of folklore together for the idiot masses to belive in
Disclaimer: Put your blindfolds on in the church, not before you leave your house. People going ham over this movie. LOL
I told my soon to be narcissistic ex husband that I’ll show him my (private) again when he shows me the bank account records and his paychecks he’s been hiding. He looked at me like a whole fool. Asked me what’s this forensic accountant who keeps emailing. Negra….. Count down begins to freedom!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2ab4babd85e10b1119f686b5f62e5051e18acf8a82be85e112b6bcfb5177c9c.gif https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d6dcc5aa2666efba8ee3e391f9809b9c899c02bc3b1cd3ebcdf3c940475f042e.gif
True. Constantine. He took pagan (demonic worship) practices and mixed it in with the scriptures. You are right on. That’s why folks should leave Christianity. Nevertheless, him doing that doesn’t take away the truth from the scripture.
I won’t call the blind idiots. But, we agree on Nicaea
It’s ALL tomfoolery every bit of it the only god is Mother Nature
The blind leading the blind is why we have so many problems in the world.
Omg this movie had my anxiety on 100!!! I was like “this shyyytt…. why??”
I watched it and it wasn’t believable that they could survive so long with only one or two mishaps BLINDFOLDED… It just wasn’t believable to me…although the rest of the storyline was a thriller to say the least I just couldn’t get with the premise…almost like the BOOK OF ELIA another unbelievable movie that didn’t hit you till damn near the end that Denzel was BLIND and I know its a metaphor but it was stupid..
I also didn’t like in BB how the directors once again plays up the black man that leaves his whole family behind to take care a white woman and her kids…you always see the black man lament the family that he has left behind but he is never shown doing everything in his power to preserve HIS FAMILY or preserve HIS BLOODLINE… Also the only other brother in early in the movie that worked at the Supermarket… I knew his role was going to nothing but short… I notice these end time movies never take in to perspective that we will make it… or that we are even there… I wonder if they also believe that WE will be “spirited away” as the Bible says….
Lord. Goes to go read…
exactly after it was over I was surly mad… like I cant believe I was all into that and somehow was bamboozled into watching something so unbelievable…like she fell TWICE BLINDFOLDED!!!! her kids feel maybe once and that was only because they were capsized…
Bye Netflicks
NOOOO
that had to be it I watched it because I thought they were blindfolded just a bit but the WHOLEEEE MOVIE THOOO…
TOTALLY
like how the fuc she survived pregnancy blindfolded!!!
Is exactly what she should have said to this script!!!
Her name is Mallory…
Sandra might as well go on and marry her a black man.
You too ?
What is Mother Nature?
Lol yeah media gave that movie too much hype
I agree. Any recommendations?
I can’t watch because of that ?
They better make sure he doesn’t pick their pockets while blindfolded!
Him and that family are pulling out all stops to stay relevant and hold on to a slither of spotlight! Their shoes viewers are done his shoe sales are down looks like their spotlight is dimming down! They just released a story that he purchased kim a 14 million dollar condo in Miami for Christmas NOW my question is as husband and wife wouldn’t it be their condo they continue to refer to property that he buys as something separate I just don’t get it
They tech anything but financial freedom and helping their congregation and others in the community. All that money they raise and folks homeless and living in debt the type of money they raise they should be using it to help fund businesses for the people in the church use it to pay off a few folks debt disburse the financial help throughout the church then start reaching out to the community. Smh but they won’t teach any of this
Read an article where some white folks in Twitter was accusing Netflix of lying about the number of views/steams of the movie since there is no 3rd party that can validate that and that it would mean if 45 million people’s watched that movie then at 10 dollars a pop a movie ticket that would mean that movie made over 450 million if it were in the movies in less than a week despite all the negative reviews on the movies they claim the movie was gettifn really bad reviews and all of a sudden out of nowhere not here comes the memes they are saying that marketing made those memes and others started AFTER Netflix marketing pumped a lot of them out there
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d428444558fdd416cc4843c2dd27d88f549915392732eb48d817b71adf30d757.jpg
U need more than jesus if something like this happens. ??
Movie is so over rated. A Quiet Place was 10x better.
Girl, I put me and the twins survivor kits back in my cart on Amazon WHILE watching the movie. LOL. I had them in the “save for later” que.
I WHOLLY agree with you.
I knew I read somewhere that a film with Sandra Bullock in it got bad reviews last week. I thought it was a different film. So Netflix used social media memes to hype this flop movie?
Omigawd my family use to go to that church in Macon. They’re desperate for members with this bullsh*t.
Good movie!
I didn’t say he died, hun.
They only had to wear the blindfolds outdoors.
You know, for some reason—church photoshop just irks me. ?
The pastor always has to have his face on everything! ?????
Hold on so he’s been hiding money from u?
On topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kULFR2yANmU
It’s funny ? but equally sad ? LOL. Church doing TEW much.
Glad to know I’m not the only pessimist here ?
We are too much of a complex species to say God is only Mother Nature. Absurd
???
Just curious…because I haven’t seen the movie yet…was there cursing in the movie?
Very important! ?
Birdbox is an excellent action thriller. Every scene is rich and inviting. The plot and reasoning are food to think of. There’s a sifting of the wheat and it is an interesting divide.
No cursing that I recall. It isn’t for the faint at heart.
As for this ministry these pimpstors are prostituting every thing they can to draw in the masses and get that money. The church is more secular than the club. There was a pastor who said “These hoes ain’t loyal.
Self promotion. They are not there to promote the word of God. They are the face and vision of the church not God, not the Word. #narcissism.

None of these properties are designed to accommodate their children in the essence of childhood. On top of that they dress North like a club worker with depression. We saw their entire landscape in the snowy holiday videos. There was not one play gym, swing set or outdoor for the kids to run around and play with.
The difference in the mothers. One day I went to IG to see Khloe’s page after a news story. She had “baby shark” on her page, this tells me Khloe is having an interactive relationship with True. If Khloe could get over her own self esteem issues and get out of her own way, True along with Dream and maybe Stormi will come out mentally and emotionally ahead of the other grandkids.
I do wonder about Stormi always look in the opposite direction of Kylie in every picture. Who is Stormi looking for.
Yes ma’am the white critics had much to say about it it was reported in the daily mail they got the tweets and all. The white folks wasn’t falling for it but of course the memes caught in quick and the people who wanted to drive traffic to their page reposted and also started making them as well. But they are claiming Netflix is behind this ?
???? You right good observation and stormi is looking for her nanny her real momma not the one that holds her for photoshots.
Or Jordan.
And it’s actually going to be the opposite, Melanin dominant will always prevail. There is no way a recessive pale skin genetically inferior organism is going to survive, they are already trying to do everything in their power to block the ever growing intensity of the sun which has been trying to take their asses out since they came out the caves.
Dorinda and Karen Clark atttend have been lifelong members of Her Husband Bishop J. Drew Sheard church in Detroit .Karen is first lady. They are C.O.G.I C. Lifelong members and evangelist in the Church of God in Christ. Their late mother Dr. Mattie Moss Clark was International President of Music Dept .In COGIC.
OMG. Where did you copy and paste this story from?
Im confused. When did Karen Clarke Sheard leave her husband and post as 1st Lady in their church in Detroit?
Karen Ckark Sheard is 1st lady Evangelist along side her Husband Bishop J. Drew Sheard at Greater Emmanuel Institional Church of God in Christ, Dertoit, MI.
BISHOP Drew Sheard is a Board Member of the National Church of God in Christ. This is well known worldwide .

??Preach!
You’re not alone?
I always thought the Clark sisters were COGIC. Sounds like an interesting movie.
Ok, thought so. I grew up COGIC and heard they used to be at convocation.
Lol I was in the same boat. I asked my guy so what happens when the schools for the blind run out of food or who are the crazy ppl that can see. He was like idk it doesn’t matter
Alot of these pastors are pimps. I am so done with these kind of churches. I remember not to long go I visit a church with my cousin and the pastor was discussing house wives and why women need be a little bit more like them. I forgot the full message but it was hideous.
12 cameras is a good one. Bad match is another good I’ve watched it multiple times.
It was okay for a Netflix movie although Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich I think is his name really kept the movie interesting .The story of the love interest Trevante and Sandra to me was not that great.I did not feel the on screen chemistry between them.
How did she survive 5 years, because those numnuts took the car so they couldn’t go to the supermarket
???
Did they remain blind-folded during pass the collection plate time?
?? Thx
I thought so too.
I grew up COGIC. My dad used to sing with MMClark.
*dead*
I am not saying god is Mother Nature I am saying I belive in nature and how do you figure we are so complex ? Because of th inventions we have made that’s just humans manipulation of the environment
I really enjoyed it too!
????
I would just watch and judge for yourself because people complain to much and about everything. If their minds are not blown away, a movie is overrated and overhyped. It definitely kept me on my toes and I liked it.
Omg it wasn’t a flop because I liked it and I know what’s good LOL…
For crying out loud! Stop with this blindfold mess!!
They are. This a copy paste post. Their church home is in Detroit where Karen husband is Bishop/Pastor/Church of God in Christ Board member at Greater Emanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ. http://www.geicogic.org. I caught that too.
Ok now! Memba her running on stage at the Grammys with her girls absolutely bringing the whole house down!
the is no shame in these copy/paste blog items. Everyone knows the Clarks were born and raised COGIC.
uhmmm just NO… let me find out you were one of the writers for the show? cause uhmmm no…. so she stayed indoors for at least 8 mths of pregnancy and he hunted for food..blindfolded …everyday…..right…he never fell he nver got hurt..listen I get it..metaphorically blind faith in God …yadda yadda yadda
disqus_0LBL0pCaVd yes
Maybe because crazy people have no fear so they are immune to having to face any.
Thank you for posting this. Octavia Butler is not only a talented writer, but thinker as well. I’ve archived this.
What black folks need to be doing is joining Candace Owens and others on January 20, 2019 for “blexit.” There are black folks tired of the democrat plantation who will be exercising their right to spread the word.
““It’s undeniable that the minority conservative movement is growing. Everyday more and more of us are waking up to the realization that we are pawns in a white liberal game for power,” Owen told Breitbart News in an email Sunday, adding that, “2019 will be about pulling us all together— Black, hispanics, and asians who are fed up with the Left— to create a grassroots campaign against the poisonous ideologies of Socialism and extreme liberalism.”
Black folks are waking up except many of you here who love following behind white liberals.
Here’s your girl Hildabeast patronizing black folks. Happy New Year

Lmfao.. I wouldn’t be looking.
Exactly! Girl, it ain’t neva gonna change. They aboutthisclose to being drug dealers except for the pages in the Bible being the crack rock. Lol
That was the first thing my sister pointed out, how they made the black man seem so desperate for a pregnant white woman.
LOL LOL LOL soooo wrong for that
This is everything!!!!!!!!!
Errrrrbody!
I read somewhere that it (in a sense) glorifies suicide. Then another said it’s more of a walk by faith not by sight type parallel. And to not let your demons/the enemy get to you when you are close to your breakthrough.
I, however, have not personally watched it.
Don’t do that, Nan. LMAOOOOOOOOO
Yes, it was Jamal Bryant. The new pastor at New Birth!
and we ask ourselves why our men are so brainwashed.. remember they are weaker mentally then us..they really don’t know how to decipher a trap when its in the form of a white woman. and that in itself is the turnoff for black women.. no body wants a SIMP

Lol yea keep that kit ready and make sure to add blindfolds.
I was dying lol
Can you tell me what COGIC means? I’ve tried to Google it but couldn’t find a substantial answer. I’ve seen it used a lot on Instagram by Lexi Allen.
Okie doke. Thanks
Sure, Church of God in Christ- based in Memphis, Tennessee. They have a website if you’re interested in the history. I believe Mason Temple was one of the last places Dr. Martin Luther king spoke at.
why do we have to be so extra sometimes. so since this pastor doing this how many more going to jump on the bandwagon. or better yet, when are the you tubers going to do the their videos of “empowerment” using blindfolds. just watch the dang movie and be done. can people just come to church without the theatrics.
Oh dear Father!
It parallels “The Happening”. The twist in the movie is that the people who are
Never mind. Hit me up after you see it and we can talk about it then. Happy New Year!
Thank you! I’ve always wondered.
I really hadn’t planned on watching it. We’ll revisit this…………..one day. LOL
Lol, I live in Macon and the pastor was a classmate of mine. I don’t know what he was thinking with this BS!
No. I don’t memba. lol.
