Found this

I'm so blessed by God that he's given me this opportunity to work with this wonderful community, this wonderful town, this wonderful football club, and I'm humbled by the opportunity.

unless there is another specific quote where she literally says she was sent by god I'd say she is being misquoted and that is quite different to what sluffy is alluding to as not being normal

but maybe I'm a cult or something

Q to AI - what does blessed by god mean

Ans - Being "blessed by God" means, receiving divine favor, grace, or spiritual well-being from a higher power. It describes a state of being deeply cared for, protected, or granted good gifts—such as peace, health, or strength—that come directly from God's generous nature.

Q to AI - what does divine favor mean

Ans - Divine favor means a special. unearned blessing. approval, or kind treatment given to a person by God.

So she wasn't 'sent' by God to be at BWFC, in her mind and words God bestowed it on her.

I don't know if you believe in a God but I don't, there is no such thing and religion simply came about by explaining what was then unexplainable - why has the Sun died, it must be angry with us - no it was an eclipse, sort of thing and now is a means of control, look at how women are treated in the more radical Islamic countries for instance.

Sharon is free to believe whatever she wants and act in a way so that her God is pleased with her, which no doubt she does.

That isn't normal behaviour to me.

Man invent God, not the other way around

I once had a neighbour who is Jewish and is ultra orthodox and would do absolutely nothing on the Sabbath - that's not normal.

I also knew a bloke who is a Muslim who refused to touch a woman (even shake hands with some woman being introduced to him), because his extreme brand of Islam says that women once they reach the age of puberty are 'unclean' - that's not normal either

Jehovah's witnesses use to famously refused blood transfusions, even when it could save their life - I don't know if that is still the case - my point being what people believe their God has told them to do and how to live their life, no longer makes any sense these days assuming it made any sense at sometime in the long forgotten past.

If you or anyone else on here believes God bestowed the club unto Sharon, then that's up to you.

I'm having none of it.

And yes there is a vibe of a cult in respect of Sharon, perhaps if you are already in it is to late to see it...

You've spent pages telling us that Sharon claimed she was sent here by God through a message in her head to work a miracle do good things for people's lives.

All she actually did was express feeling "blessed by God to have this opportunity"

You fabricated a bizarre religious narrative, built an entire argument around it, and when proven wrong, moved into a lecture about Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Sabbath, eclipses, and radical Islam.

As for what is "normal" - millions of people of faith use expressions like "feeling blessed" when good things happen in their lives or careers.

It is standard, everyday language.

Even non religious people, like me, will use the phrase feeling blessed with something.

You don't have to be religious to understand basic human figures of speech without going all literal and using AI to analyse her words so you can convince yourself she thinks she was bestowed this job onto her by a supreme being.

And throwing around the word "cult" just because people respect the job the board has done is twatty.

We can see the club has gone from financial ruin in League Two to a stable, well-run Championship side.

It's not cultish - it's called looking at basic facts and enjoying the football.

To be fair though, it's probably unfair to be critical of you because all you've done once again is shown you don't get it, which is all you said in the first place.

I stand by all what I've said.

Just because religion is tolerated doesn't mean it isn't insane, look at all those ISIS suicide bombers blowing themselves up because they believed they were going to heaven and there would be twenty virgins waiting for them.

And it is one thing using expressions of faith like in your example but it is totally different kettle of fish when the person using the expressions like Sharon, believes implicitly in them - she really believes that God has blessed her, they aren't empty words to her, she means them, doesn't she?

That is as crackers to me as someone blowing themselves up and expecting to wake up in heaven with twenty virgins by their side.

And of course it is a cult when you get people like Desperado rushing in to defend Sharon's honour against me and Krimzon believing the club under Sharon is more important than defeating cancer - what else would you call it?

The club hasn't evolved from not having a pot to piss in to becoming a Championship side because of Sharon's goody, goody ethos, it is because Luckock's brother and his work colleagues are minted and stuck into the clubs coffers what is spare cash to them, instead of buying a new boat or whatever hobby or interest the super rich splash their cash on.

Just to remind you that up to that point we were dependant on a government Covid handout and Eddie Davies Trust writing off a few millions in order to survive.

We've now got an American billionaire sitting on our board who 'get's it' apparently, although I rather think he's more got his eyes on making money at the club somehow.

It is good of you to give me an out by saying it is unfair to be critical of me because I did start of by saying 'I don't get it' (and I still don't) but I'm a big boy and if people want to vent their anger at me because I've impugned their heroine Shaz then I'll take it on the chin and give them some back because she clear believes God is part of her life and that he bestowed the club unto her.

Also fwiw her plan was to make the club to become self-sufficient, now she's looking for investors to share the financial burden,.

God didn't bother to bestow that on her then did he...

So our owner says she feels blessed and you're comparing her to ISIS suicide bombers?

You're becoming more unhinged by the post on some bizarre mission to besmirch the good work she's done.

The irony of you seemingly trying to ridicule her motives, while acting as a persistent apologist for KA - a man who nearly drove this club into extinction - is off the scale.

it's plain fucking weird and I would hazard a guess that, for whatever reason, you are the only Bolton fan who thinks this.

it's certainly not "normal", that's for sure

by all means stand by it and justify it however you want

just don't expect to be taken seriously

I don't know if you believe in a God but I don't, there is no such thing (opinion stated as fact) {religion} simply came about by explaining what was then unexplainable (opinion stated as fact)- why has the Sun died, it must be angry with us - no it was an eclipse, sort of thing and now is a means of control, look at how women are treated in the more radical Islamic countries for instance. (Irrelevant , people treat people bad ergo no God, flawed logic)

Sharon is free to believe whatever she wants and act in a way so that her God is pleased with her, which no doubt she does. (Really ? thanks for that Captain Obvious)

That isn't normal behaviour to me. (And ? the way moths act isnt normal to me . Both mean nothing)

Man invent God, not the other way around (opinion stated as fact , prove it)

I once had a neighbour who is Jewish and is ultra orthodox and would do absolutely nothing on the Sabbath - that's not normal. (opinion stated as fact , MILLIONS would disagree)

I also knew a bloke who is a Muslim who refused to touch a woman (even shake hands with some woman being introduced to him), because his extreme brand of Islam says that women once they reach the age of puberty are 'unclean' - that's not normal either (opinion stated as fact BILLIONS disagree)

(opinion stated as fact)

If you or anyone else on here believes God bestowed the club unto Sharon, then that's up to you. ( never was said or printed anywhere . your AI quotes that "1+2+3 = 6 " is flawed / akin to saying Pi + apple + penguin = Post Box )

I'm having none of it. (If Only )

And yes there is a vibe of a cult in respect of Sharon, perhaps if you are already in it is to late to see it... (condescending & patronising "Im right and you are all wrong "

Im sure you will appreciate that Ive corrected your ridiculous post above .
I said I wasnt going to respond to you again but I felt the urge one last time .
Your disdain for religion is clear despite the fact that you are in the minority in the country let alone , the continent or worldwide , btw 95% of the population of the planet believe in a diety .

I always wonder why atheists feel the need to try to convince everybody else that there is no God , what does it matter ? does it impact you personally ? no need to respoond the answer is clear . People are always afraid of what they cant understand , which is why you dont get it .

AS for you personally Lets see if any of these fit :

Grandiose View: Has an inflated, arrogant sense of self-worth.

No Remorse: Feels zero guilt after attempting to belittle others.

Fake Charm: Often acts superior and or smart, in an attempt to trick/coerce/ingratiate others.

No Empathy: Cannot understand or share the feelings of others. (tho this can be emulated with practice)

Impulsive acts: Acts without thinking, and seeks quick thrills in confrontation and the attention that brings .

Guess what personality disorder that is ?

Oh and lastly BWFC the board , the fans and the town are all part of a cult .

You wont want anything to do with any of that then , unless it somehow resonates with you ? eh clint .

To be fair we have a fair few players with names from the bible..

Matthew Taylor, Remi Matthews, Gilks, Alexander,

Mark - Winstanley, Seagraves, Fish, Davies

Luke Southwood, Hutchinson, Murphy, MBete

John, McGinley, McAtee, Declan John, John O'Kane, Johnny Kenny, John Thomas (*counts as Thomas too)

Simon - Charlton, Xvier Simons, Farnworth, Coleman

James Trafford, Henry

Andrew -Kith Andrews, Andrew Taylor, Tutte, Lonergan, Walker

Philip - Neal, Jimmy, Parkinson and Brown (manager special here)

We've never had a Bart to my knowledge though..

Judas isn't a popular name tbh) although Coyle was called that by Burnley a few times...

Jude - Have we had a Jude?? Judith the tea lady?

So maybe Tough sheet is the Church ...

Sluffy and Sharon are onto something here.

It’s been hiding all this while. We have a BWFC cult, which Sharon knew she could manipulate to her own ends.

Arise

Saint Michael

Nick from Nazareth

All led by Sister Sharon.

I already have my role as as Lancelot riding into battle to defend the honour of Sister Sharon.

Ken Anderson was a cult.

Something like that anyway.

Right the 72 Virgin myth.. not 20 (shows how little you understand tbh), its not mentioned in the Qu'ran, but in religious book in the style of.. It's a story mentioned about one person due to their actions..

If someone believes their faith has led them down a path, what right do you have to refer to it as insane? I believe God's led me down my path in life, I've lived my life with as much kindness and love for others as I can, it's rare I'll say anything nasty towards anyone, that's what my faith tells me to do.. I'd walked away from teaching, the agency I was working for asked me to go and speak to a school about just helping out for a few days. My "chat" was in a Chapel I stayed there for 3 years then moved on to another school.. If that's not God calling me I don't know what is.

We're all on borrowed time, life's a blessing so we might as well enjoy it whilst we can. If we can bring joy and happiness to others then we should. Calling people / our Chairperson insane for having faith just isn't right.

Our predicament back in 2019, foodbanks etc, is even mentioned in the bible:

Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter...

And it must mean us not Wolverhampton, as it gives some advice on how to avoid a kicking at Molyneux:

Acts 20:29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
