Holy cr@p. Just finished the first one. Watching stuff like that makes me sick, sick, sick. And what a fine quote from Luke regarding Jerusalem and the "prophets" they obviously consider themselves to be, 2000 years later. Sick. Depicting themselves as the persecuted ones while only doing "good" and "telling the truth to people". Twisted jerks. :curse

Ah, even in the biggest pile of excrement there is still a spark of inspiration to be found:
"I was honored today with having a few stones, dirt, rotten eggs and pieces of dead cats thrown at me."
Why didn't I think of dead cats?

I do not believe the verb "to go" is applicable to Evangelism, actually.

Being in a masochistic mood, I just watched the second video.
If Adolf and Goebbels were alive today, I bet they would love to learn from these two jerks how to wrap their twisted propaganda in a "modern" video age style.
And no, I'm not doing the Godwin's law thing here. I'm certainly not saying these idiots are Nazis. But their methods of propaganda, perverting the facts and selective omission (a.k.a. editing) reminded me of the way the propaganda 70 years ago worked. Including the fervency with which the sick message is delivered.

JESUS CHRIST! I actually watched all three of these videos! Doesn't that count as some sort of penance?
What did I learn?
"Sharing the faith" = annoying the f**k out of people.

"Ray being chased by an angry woman..."
What the hell? There's no chasing there.

Jeez! You are a survivor, a really tough guy. Respect!
I'll have the third video tomorrow, and then I'll know what you went through.

You might wait until tomorrow - there could be some sort of "videodrome" subliminal message in the three videos that could convert me to a blathering X-tian.
If I return here tomorrow saying, "I've seen the light," or "God has spoken to me," or "I've accepted Jesus as my savior," you might NOT want to watch that last video. ;)

I think it's much scarier when evangelism goes right.

Thanks for the warning. I'll wait a couple of hours tomorrow, and if you seem okay, then I'll do it and watch the third video. Should you really utter any of the above phrases, I'll call 911 to put you in a straight jacket.
