Eugene Sampson Pitt (November 6, 1937 – June 29, 2018) was a musician and the founding member of The Jive Five. He formed a group with some school friends in 1954 called the Genies, in which he was the lead singer. There were no recordings from this group.
In 1959 he, together with Jerome Hanna, Richard Harris, Norman Johnson, and Billy Prophet formed The Jive Five. Among their classic doo-wop recordings, released on Beltone Records, were “My True Story”, “Never, Never”, and “What Time Is It?”. In 1985, they sang doo-wop on the children’s cable television network Nickelodeon. He and The Jive Five were introduced to New York-based MTV Networks branding consultants Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman by his latest producer, Ambient Sound’s Marty Pekar. Together, they embarked on an almost 10-year relationship, creating and singing a cappella signature sound of the children’s television network Nickelodeon. Terry Stewart, President & CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, called Pitt “the most underrated soul singer in America”. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Although Skillet is one of the best-known Christian rock bands ever, I only became aware of them when John Cooper, the band's longtime frontman, wrote a strong response to former Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson. Since then, John and I have become close friends, often...

RIVERVIEW SCHOOL’S 25th ANNUAL VILLAGE OF DREAMS GALA RAISES A RECORD BREAKING $1MILLION IN SUPPORT OF THE ARTS!
Nearly 400 people attended Riverview’s 25th Annual Village of Dreams Gala on Friday, June 16th, 2023, in support of expanding the school’s Arts programming. At Riverview, we believe in exceptional programming for our exceptional students. The Arts provide critical pathways for transformational expression and give numerous opportunities for authentic self-discovery, leading to multitudes of positive outcomes for our students.
The Gala and auction took place on the brand-new MC Greene Field under an open-air tent on a beautiful night on Riverview’s East Sandwich campus. The event set a fundraising record for the school netting over $1,000,000 through ticket sales, sponsorships, a robust silent and LIVE auction, and an inspiring Fund a Dream paddle raise.
Much of the décor and all the entertainment was provided by Riverview’s creative and talented students. Riverview Visual Arts teacher, Cathy Sampson, taught a Gala-centric art class leading up to the event which produced a stunning gallery of student art as the centerpiece for the stage. Visual & Performing Arts Coordinator Greg Simpson worked with student DJs The Boom Squad who provided music during cocktail hour and student band S.T.L (Sky’s the Limit) opened the night with a high energy show-stopping performance.
The event kicked off with a lively cocktail hour. An animated wine toss entertained the crowd, memories were captured at the photo booth, and supporters flocked to the raffle table for a chance to win gorgeous diamond hoop earrings. Existing relationships were strengthened, and new friendships were formed.
The live and silent auctions incorporated items from categories including sports tickets, beautiful high-end jewelry, fine art, exciting dining opportunities, one-of-a-kind Riverview-specific items, and luxury trips to destinations from Tuscany to Anguilla.
The Gala was hosted for the second year in a row by Riverview parent, advocate, and actor Amy Brenneman. Honored that evening were long-time supporters of the school and, art enthusiasts Rebecca and Marty Eisenberg with The Dream Maker Award, presented to those who have had a transformational impact on the Riverview School community.
Head of School, Stewart Miller, and Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator, Greg Simpson spoke about the positive benefits of the arts on Riverview students and the community, which was then exemplified in a video of Riverview students, staff, and parents speaking about their unique experiences and successes. Based on the strength of some amazing lead gifts to kick off the Fund-A-Dream paddle raise, an inspired Riverview community responded by raising over $500,000 in support of the Arts at Riverview School.
It truly takes a village, and The Gala could not have been made possible without the dedication of the 40+ person Gala committee led by Gala Chair; Linda Ledoux and Gala Co-Chair; Barb Noble, the hard-working volunteers (many of whom are Riverview staff), talented vendors and partners, and the immense generosity of Riverview School’s devoted sponsors and donors.

February 25, 2023 The Creative Multiverse presents: Celebrate Black History month. Day 25 Henry Thomas Sampson Jr Henry Thomas Sampson Jr. (April 22, 1934 – June 4, 2015) was an American engineer, inventor and film historian who created the gamma-electric cell in 1972 — a device with the main goal of generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor. On July 6, 1963, he was awarded a patent, with George H. Miley, for a variation of the gamma-electrical cell, a device that produces a high voltage from radiation sources, primarily gamma radiation, with proposed goals of generating auxiliary power from the shielding of a nuclear reactor. Additionally, the patent cites the cell's function as a detector with self-power and construction cost advantages over previous detectors. "On April 3, 1973, using the patented technology they created, Motorola engineer Marty Cooper placed the first public call from a cell phone, a real handheld portable cell phone. #blackhistorymonth #CreativeMultiverse #art #artwork #artistofinstagram #artist #artistforhire #Custom #create #drawing #drawingaday #draweveryday #illustration #pencil #sketch #ink #colordrawing #Sketchcard #fabercastell #copic #twitchstreamer #blickartmaterials https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOcwXNsl43/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When Christian leaders comment on the apostasy of Marty Sampson and Joshua Harris, they always discuss eternal predestination
“If these leaders fell, does that mean that I could fall too? Would that mean that I was never among the elect? Does Jesus lose his sheep?”
“No, no, no,” they said, “don’t worry, Jesus doesn’t lose his sheep. If those men fell, it was because they were never truly Christian in the first place.”
I get that predestination and the security of salvation are important. The flock will die from anxiety if it’s not sure it’s going to heaven... because otherwise they think they’ll go to hell. I mean, half of the flock is already uncertain but tries to act certain, because otherwise it would have to repent all over, publicly, which is humiliating.
But what should have been addressed is WHY people are leaving.
People are leaving because it was the religion of their parents, not theirs.
People are leaving because they made friends outside the Christian bubble and realised that LGBTQ people and mentally ill people are not demon-possessed.
People are leaving because they don’t want to stay in unhealthy marriages.
People are leaving because they have decided to stop destroying their ‘sinful’ identities.
People are leaving because there is no proof of God and they have never felt, heard or seen God.
People are leaving because the God of the Bible is a psychopath.

About Losing Faith
Recently there have been at least two Christian leaders, Joshua Harris and Marty Sampson who have expressed either doubt in or a departure from their faith. It reminded me of a note I wrote on facebook about this time in 2013. I had read a post that the band Emery had made about ex-Christians that had struck me and brought up thoughts and memories similar to things brought to mind by these recent stories.
One of the biggest things that come to mind is the mention of Mr. Harris and Mr. Sampson having peace in either walking away from faith or the path away from it. This struck me because one of the most painful times in my life was a period where I nearly walked away from my faith. I remember it so vividly because all the light and peace vanished from my life. It was like something cracked and let out all the air.
I was a worship leader for the youth group while I was going through this and I remember leading worship and looking at everyone, with all the fears and doubts I was feeling and thinking: “I will never tell them. I will just leave quietly. I can’t do this to any of them.” I was simultaneously crying out to God for proof and planning a way to walk away from my church without leaving any doubt with them. I wanted them left in the peace of their faith.
I remember back when I first became a Christian, I was on a message board and someone told me about how they used to believe and then they realized how foolish it was and that they were happier now.
I honestly don’t understand. How does the fracturing of a way of life bring peace?
When I wrote my note six years ago, I came to the conclusion that they must have never truly encountered God because in my experience, I could not go back. I cannot. All my doubts and fear come against the first time I felt God. I knew in that moment that I would never go back to not believing in Him, and I never have. I have metaphorically strained against that moment and that memory, but I haven’t got past it. Maybe I am more unique in this than I used to believe.
I was listening to the Matt Walsh podcast and he discussed these stories and one thing he said struck me. He mentioned how the response that believers have had to this is not constructive. Especially in the case of Sampson because he specifically said he was in the process of losing his faith, not that it was gone.
It reminds me of the days I used to spend hours on facebook talking to Oh, Sleeper fans and following everything the band said and did. There was a point where the guitarist was being criticized by the fans because of his expression that he did not believe in God. Their vocalist and main lyricist is a strong Christian and as a result, their fans include a lot of Christians. These Christians acted in a way toward him that, in all likelihood, closed the pathway to God in his face. To this day he doesn’t believe though he greatly respects Christians and has said he wishes he could believe. He discussed it in a recent interview and it has come up on the lyrics of their songs as well.
What if someone is hurting and searching and the body of Christ chastises them for their efforts? Does that not portray Christ as other than He is? Is showing anger and disappointment in people a way to demonstrate Christ? Do we think we can explain God?
That was what got me into trouble all those years ago, I was debating a group of atheists. I thought I could teach them that God was real. What happened instead (and I could see later how God was trying to warn me of what I was doing) was I began trying to build a neat box to put God in. If I could just get Him in this box, maybe I could give Him to people. But that isn’t how it works.
I met Christians when I was young. They didn’t convince me of God’s existence. I thought Christians were silly for believing in a sky man. Even as I began going to a youth group and meeting Christians who tried to teach God to me, I didn’t believe. I wanted to be around a guy I liked. That was all.
It wasn’t until I sat in the sanctuary and felt my Creator come beside me that I changed. Even that was a slow process. Once I came to the conclusion that there was a God that made me, I didn’t immediately want anything to do with Him. I had picked up all of these different notions about who He was. Many of them were good, but some of them didn’t sound great to me. I was a rather dark person and there were things that sprang to mind immediately as offensive to this God and I didn’t want to give them up.
I felt judged by Christians and so I felt that this God would surely put me through the ringer if He would tolerate me at all. I felt that I was in for an overhaul.
I was not entirely wrong on these fears, but I have learned over the years that the God I feared in that moment does not resemble the God I know now. I still fall into those fears sometimes. I begin to think I have become unworthy overtime. Surely now that I have professed to believe for so many years, my weaknesses warrant being cast out. It’s not. He never has rejected me despite my questions and fears and even the time I tried to make Him leave me.
I don’t know if people who walk away from the faith have encountered God. It is entirely possible they have. They are different people than I am. They have different experiences.
What I do know is that people who act as a representative of Christ have an impact on how others see God. Are we reflecting Him well?
One of the problems I think is that we are not very good mirrors. God is something outside of ourselves and our world and trying to explain Him with the tools we have here is not easy. Like John trying to convey his revelation. He didn’t have words for it, so he compared it to things he knew. It had to be largely figurative because it was something other than here. We do the best we can, but we are trying to convey something beyond ourselves.
The amazing thing about all of it is that God lets this work rest in our hands. Our imperfect hands.
I have come to accept over the years that I will never have all the answers. I don’t think I want them. The day I have all the answers would be the day I realize there isn’t really a God. God doesn’t fit in a box. He isn’t clean and neat. We should have grace with one another for our doubts. And maybe strive to make peace with the knowledge that some answers aren’t ours to have.
“All that I have are questions, so much is veiled in mystery. but You are Yourself the answer. The only answer that I need.” -Answered by Thrice

APOSTASY NOW: CHRISTIANITY'S MODERN IDENTITY CRISIS
APOSTASY NOW: CHRISTIANITY’S MODERN IDENTITY CRISIS
The Christian faith has had a paradigmatic shift forced upon it over the last 10-15 years. Mainline Christianity carries on unruffled by the winds of change; South African churches for example, were filled to capacity during this year’s Easter week (even, to the surprise of many priests, the denominational ones).
But behind the scenes, Christians who fall into the broad ‘Protestant/…

I've been reading articles written about the deconstruction of public figures like Rhett and Link, Joshua Harris, and Marty Sampson. While not all the articles are explicitly hateful, their language is venomous. They call into question their faith, like, "They weren't real Christians," and say things like, "The world got to them."
It's heartbreaking and I felt emotionally deflated. I've told a grand total of two people in my life about my deconstruction (aside from my online community) and that took a lot of courage. My fear of telling others is real and serious. Most of my friends are devout Christians. I can (probably accurately) predict their responses.
These articles are only confirmation that deconstruction is seen as a threat to the evangelical church.
If you're interested, here are the links for some of the articles I read:
