Nene Leakes Wants Us All To Be Rich Bitches!

Cocktails and Conversation

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. “

Everyone has their own interpretation of religious doctrine that forms their  spiritual  beliefs, or lack thereof. For me, the Old Testament is sort of history book of sorts. God was a bit of asshole in the OT, smiting people and fucking with people about killing their sons to show loyalty, getting pissed off and drowning everyone. But then God became a parent and a much nicer dude.  That takes us to the New Testament where Jesus comes along it’s okay to eat bacon, and be gay and all we had to do was be nice to each other and not be greedy to get into heaven. Again, this is just my interpretation. Yours my be different.

However, I will judge you for your interpretation. My least favorite biblical interpretation is commonly referred to as prosperity theology.  Prosperity preachers believe that God wants them to be rich. In this theology God has favorites.  Certain people are meant to be “highly favored” by God. God wants his favorites to be really rich.  When I watched some recruitment videos of the MLM tea company’s that Nene has joined up with, there was a whole lot of prosperity praying, and chanting going on. It seems that the folks that sign up for this tea selling investment are destined to be “highly favored” by God.

camel-needle

Huh. If God was going to choose to highly favor some folks, it seems like the people who live around the birthplace of Jesus would have been high in the running. For example, Aleppo is about 300 miles from Bethlehem. Clearly they are not “highly favored” according to prosperity theology. But multi-level marketers selling weight loss tea are. See how that works?

With that background knowledge, I submit to you, Nene Leakes’ comments on IG about the photo at the top of this story.

I opened up my boutique doors for Cocktails and Conversations last nite! I want to inspire and hopefully change someone else’s life! The great thing about Nene is that I’ve never been that girl that only wanted to have the nice handbag! I want all of us to have a nice handbag. I’ve never been the girl that only wanted to be the 1 driving the baddest car! I want all of us to have nice cars. I’ve never been the girl that only wanted to live in a beautiful home! I want all of us to live and have beautiful homes. So many people will tell you they want that for you but they DON’T! They speak as if they are saved and quote scriptures but are so ungodly! When I say I want to see you WIN, I want to see you WIN! No scriptures needed? #youneverwinwhenyouplaydirty

Bravo to whoever wrote this blurb for Nene. They manage to keep Nene’s voice (and her habit of speaking of herself in third person) while transferring it into mostly standard English.

Is Nene now a communist or something? Prosperity for all!  It’s like she wasn’t even listening at her recruitment meeting, and only heard, “You will make more money with our weight loss tea crap, than the weight loss tea crap company that pays for you to mention them on Instagram. A lot more.” See Nene, everyone can’t be prosperous in MLM. Only the ones that can recruit the most stooges marketers. It’s the MLMers that are highly favored by God.  The earlier they got in, the more God favors them.  And there are scriptures involved. Perhaps Stormy needs to give you a refresher course.

It was genius to use the new storefront as a Cocktails and Conversations site. But where are the cocktails?

    Damn it Tamara you did not even mention the angel wings on Nene’s jacket. It’s like that old show touched by an angel, but with Nene as Tess, an angel sent by God to make sure we all have nice handbags and cars.

      I wonder if Nene hung out with Jewel Tankard (from “Thicker Than Water”when she was on RHOA? She’s got the same thing going on, always praying for God to bless her with millions. I tried it but it didn’t work, dabnamit. Lol.

    Lord love a duck! Nene never ceases to surprise me. She’s a bit late getting on the “Jesus wants you to have a Mercedes” bus.

    My favorite commentary points out that the “eye of a needle” was a rather small gate into the holy city of Jerusalem. It wasn’t easy to go through this gate, but it wasn’t impossible either.

      I gotta say I have always felt the same way about the Bible. The old testament is dark, violent and damn depressing. Maybe that’s why I have never gotten far in reading it. As for Ms. Leakes, having run into her haughty, unfriendly Culo, I would not buy a damn thing from her. Get the IRS their money hunny.

      I couldn’t agree more. The first thing I saw in the picture was the ugly concrete floor. I next noticed the very bored expressionless looking people in the photo. I then was wondering where the cocktails were. At least if they had a cocktail, they might be happier. On a side note, I really hate Nene’s jacket. I would commonly call it a hot mess, in my humble opinion. Lastly, I really detest when people use God to legitimatize their bad behavior. Apparently, Nene’s main objective in life is to accumulate personal possessions that she thinks other people are envious of. How about obtaining a good education, owning a home without a mortgage, and just being an overall nice and good person. This multilevel marketing scheme that she is involved in right now is just a way to scam other people into giving her money to make her richer so that she can buy another one of her coveted handbags! Of course, this is just my humble opinion. Her actions right now are screaming desperation. That close to $1 million lien on her home must really be getting to her. It’s hard to convince people you are rich when you are actually so much in debt.

    Yeah, that prosperity theology pisses me the fuck off. It’s all such a scam. It’s no wonder the NT is full of warnings to stay away from the false churches and teachings. I am not surprised Nene has jumped on board with this thing. She won’t make any money with this, at least not the kind of money she wants/needs to make, nor will anyone else. I just can’t believe so many people get suckered into that crap.

    So, I have to say a giant what.the.fuck? First off, what is she wearing? Epaulets, wings on her back and some strange bastardization of the rolling stones lips on her ass? The shoes look ok.

    Second, what’s up with the audience? Leopard leggings lady looks enthralled, pink leggings lady looks enthralled. I am aghast. Whoever told fat chicks they could where leggings needs to be murdered slowly, painfully and publicly for the good of mankind. Yuck. I can already imagine the wet spots on the cheap ass plastic folding chairs. The couple next to pink leggings lady look like they can’t wait for this to be over.

    The space is beyond hideous. Concrete floors and columns? “Hi, Nene, its 1990s New York City calling, we’d like our look back. Not.” And the lighting is just gross.

    I also like how they spaced the people out to make it look like it was packed. LOL.

    And if it’s “cocktails” and conversations how come only one guy has an empty champagne flute in his hand? Cash bar or did she just run out?

    Please do not post things like this again without *TRIGGER WARNING: MAY OFFEND YOUR DELICATE GAY SENSIBILITIES* at the top, please. I’m going to go bleach my eyes now.

      Somebody is cranky. The pink leggings appear to be pants. The leopard leggings are indeed leggings. And for the record, the problem is not that fat people should not wear leggings, it is that NO PEOPLE should wear leggings as pants. No. People. Leggings are not pants. Leopard leggings just needed a tight black skirt over those leggings. More absorbent.

      And the gays prolly should just live on Xanax like normal people. Y’all sure are sensey little snowflakes.

        When your motherfucking pants are so tight that they read like leggings, you should just stay home.

        I also missed the chick in the second row who is more interested in her phone than the ‘conversation’ about how she can join some pyramid scheme.

        Her speech was nice, for an ex-pole dancer with no moral compass.

    All you have to do is look at what she is wearing, clothing wise, to see where this is going…Big red lips on her butt, golden wings on the shoulders and Sargent stripes on the arms say it all to me. She needs to order folks around. I’ve been watching the reruns (teaching Kim Fields how to read Kenya along with Phaedra is still my favorite scene of all times). Good luck Nene.

    My grandmother was in a cult for many years. I remember her giving every dime to some preacher dude so she would get a sure seat next to the big JC. I find it despicable to attach religion to selling a product. It touches a dark place in my soul. People mentioning god and wealth and buy this, there’s a special place in the hot place for people that bilk others out of cash in the name of God. I’m looking at you NeNe.

    “God was a bit of asshole in the OT, smiting people and fucking with people about killing their son to show loyalty, getting pissed off and drowning everyone. But then God became a parent and a much nicer dude. That takes us to the New Testament where Jesus comes along it’s okay to eat bacon, and be gay and all we had to do was be nice to each other and not be greedy to get into heaven. ”

    Ironically, the best parents I know who are accepting and supportive and ask their children to be nice to each other and not be greedy are the Jewish ones. They don’t keep kosher regularly, so they even eat bacon.

    I have enjoyed Nene’s shenanigans in the past… but I’m kind of done with her now, her and this ponzi scheme.
