There are three dudes down on the street corner preaching...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

At first I thought they were black muslims, but then today they have stars of David on their heads. They are holding up signs with New Testament verses on them...and everyone once and a while you catch something racially motivated against white people. I know you can't see it very well, but here's a pic.

They are very loud and we are on the 11th floor.

1. Messianic Jews ?

Do they have a bullhorn?

All the *really dedicated* street corner preachers have bullhorns.

[Droopy]

3. And those signs that they wear.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. Nope...

They are just yelling...
Actually, I don't think it's racially motivated now...I think they're just saying that Jesus WASN'T white. They're right...And they are being super nice to everyone who walks by.

2. Tell Them You Are Satan Born Again!

Then, thank them for doing your work.:evilgrin:

5. the op could do that or he/she could

fill some water balloons and cool them off on this hot summer day. I'll bet they'd appreciate that.

7. Water is the Symbol of Life (nt)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

9. People got evicted from this apartment for throwing ice...

I can't imagine what would happen if I threw water balloons.

6. sounds like rastafarians religion wise

but do they have locks?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. Yes, but covered by scarves.

[Zuni]

10. they could be rastafarians or perhaps Copts

Coptic Christians

I would say rasta--locks, Star of David, reading new testamanet prophecies

Did they mention Haile Selassie I, or the Lion of Judah? That is the dead giveaway. Haile Selassie, the former emperor of Ethiopia was considered to be the messiah by Rastafarians (the name Rastafarian comes from Selassie's bith name, Ras Tafari) He was rumored to be a direct descendant of Kings Solomon and David and took the title "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah"

11. They had a picture of some dude that makes me think you're right..

I don't know who he was, but he looks how you described. Neat. I was tempted to go down and meet them, but they were gone by the time I got my bra on. lol

12. Next time they show up

ask them for some of the sacred herb.

That way you'll know for sure.

[Zuni]

18. was this him?

there are other pics they carry of him as a younger man too

[YellowRubberDuckie]

20. Uh, no...

It looked like an old African Priest or something.
:shrug:

21. there are pictures of Selassie wearing robes

and looking much younger

[Ariana Celeste]

13. I'd go down and talk to them

not to debate or allow an attempted conversion, but just to learn a little. :)

[Renew Deal]

16. I've talked

and debated. They will blow your mind. You will be a racist sinner that has subjugated them. America will be destroyed by God. They are quick with the verses, but slow with substance.

[Ariana Celeste]

17. Ahso.

Well I dunno if I'd like that much, but I still find new types of people interesting. I like to see how people think, and chew on it for awhile.

[Renew Deal]

19. And you should.

Talk to them. It's more than interesting.

14. I've seen these guys in Atlanta

They claim that the descendants of slaves are the true people of Israel. They were chased out of Israel and ended up on the West coast of Africa. They believe that a spaceship will be coming to return them to power and make us(white people?) slaves. That is just a little of what I remember them saying. They looked like space pirates. That is the only way I could describe them.

Edit:

If they were being nice it was not the same group. The guys we ran into were very angry and loud. They were not very nice at all. They called me a white devil :evilfrown:

[Renew Deal]

15. How did those guys get to Oklahoma?

They are the nuts that stand around NYC telling everyone that they are sinners and are going to hell. I think they claim that they are Isrealites. They tend to be racist, but attack their own with ease.

I have seen the guy on the right and on the left in NYC
