You may or may not believe a person can be “DELIVERT” from being gay, but Andrew Caldwell insist his testimonial that lit up the internet was genuine and real. He don’t like “Mens” no more and he will love a “Women”.
This mixed language was announced by Caldwell at the Church of God in Christ, COGIC, convention in St. Louis recently. The video of the testimonial went viral and probably has been all through your social media feeds. Many people have expressed their pure joy of watching such an authentic testimonial by Caldwell. Others have expressed disbelief in the ability to pray away the gay.
Nevertheless, Caldwell has received 15 minutes of fame from the event and has been doing with it what many in his position have done in this country, sought to capitalize on his fame. Caldwell has announced himself as author, public figure and now a singer as well by releasing an autotune laced version of his testimonial on iTunes.
The song, released earlier this week, is called “I’m Not Gay No More”. The single is available in three different versions for $0.99 each or $2.97 for all three. With heavy autotunes and based on his 15 minutes of fame, the song is more than likely to end up being a ringtone or the butt of several jokes and laughs around the internet. The popularity does lend an opportunity for Caldwell to make a few shinny nickles in the process.
Caldwell claims to have copyright of the testimonial because the voice is his and no one else can claim his voice.
COGIC begs to differ. In fact, they are threatening Caldwell with a legal law suit to stop him from profiting from the sale of the testimonial that was filed, produced and released via their convention, equipment and staff.
According to TMZ, the Church of God in Christ is threatening to sue Caldwell because it said the audio from the church service belongs to it. The church wants Caldwell to stop selling the song, even though Caldwell says he holds a copyright to it. – Source: TheRoot
The Church feels Caldwell is making a mockery of their service. Others feel the church was making a mockery of Caldwell during the service. If you have watched the video, the Pastor calls for people to join Caldwell, who was obviously having a moment, to join him at the front of the church to dance with him. After a few attempts to coax the audience into participation, the front of the Church looked like a dance floor on a saturday night, not a church on a Sunday morning.

Yes I do. If preachers can profit from saying that they have special access to another dimensional being via telepathically telling a jewish zombie that he is their master, and claim that this jewish zombie has taken a curse passed down in us by some rib woman who was persuaded into eating magic fruit by a talking snake?
His claim is no less logical.
