Okay, who on the west coast is watching Jesus Camp?

[SeattleGirl]

I'm 5 minutes in, and already I'm freaked out at what they're doing to these kids.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. I wish! I could watch that all over again!

What part are you at? :popcorn:

I'm watching "Paris, je t'aime"

[SeattleGirl]

4. It just started. The kiddies are praying in tongues.

:crazy:

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Oh, it gets better...

And by better I mean :crazy:

Enjoy sweetie!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Well, I just heard the "children's minister" say

that Bush was such a great man. :puke:

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. He is, if you like people who are enthusiastic about torture.

[SeattleGirl]

44. Well, according to these people, torture is apparently God's way.

:puke:

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. It's not on until 11 PM here

have DVR set to record in case I fall asleep while watching...

Caught the last 5-8 min. of first showing tonight....Crikey!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Freaky from beginning to end, huh?

This is very difficult for me to watch, because I got mixed up with the Pentecostals for awhile. EEEEEK!

[KitchenWitch]

3. For some strange reason, we will not be getting Jesus Camp until 11:00

[SeattleGirl]

6. Bummer! That's what Nelly said, too.

You gonna watch it?

[KitchenWitch]

7. I am setting the TiVo for it.

I am too sleepy tonight and the winds are coming tomorrow, so I will probably not sleep for days.

[SeattleGirl]

11. More winds? Ack!

Batten down the hatches, Martha. There's a big wind a commin'. :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

13. As much as there is evidence to the contrary - you cannot tell my psyche

that winds do not always bring fire.

x(

[SeattleGirl]

14. After what you just went through, I don't blame you at all.

:hug:

[Initech]

8. Saw it once... was completely freaked out by it.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

12. That's how I'm feeling already.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Initech]

15. Have they got to Ted Haggard's cameo in it yet?

[SeattleGirl]

16. Not yet.

[krispos42]

17. Get drunk

It takes the sting away.

[SeattleGirl]

18. I'm feeling like that might be a good idea,

except I have to work in the morning.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Being cable-deprived

I'm watching it on YouTube.

Just watched the first bit, with the Heebus Ninjaettes. Reminded me of the WWII propaganda films of Japanese kids training with spears to kill the White Devils.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Exactly.

And it gets "better" from there. :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Like with the 'minister' saying she wants kids to be ready

to die for the gospel because that's how Islamic kids are being trained?

[SeattleGirl]

25. Oh, good Dog, that was creepy, wasn't it?

:scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Eh, I figure they'll all be raptured soon

and we won't have to worry about 'em.



And we'll get their cars.



:D

[SeattleGirl]

32. IMHO, the sooner they are raptured, the better for the rest of us.

And we can give their cars and their money to those that need them. That'll really twist their knickers!

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. How 'bout the shoes?

Do they get sucked up so fast that the shoes stay, like in the cartoons? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Aw, they can take the shoes with 'em. I really don't want to wear

anyone's used shoes! :scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. That proves beyond a shadow of a doubt

that you aren't a Republic, because they have a parable that goes like this:



I was feeling sorry for myself because I had no shoes.

Then I met a man who had no feet.

And I said,

"Can I have your shoes?"

[SeattleGirl]

41. ROFL!

I can actually hear them say something like that!

[Suich]

20. There's no way in the world I can watch that!

I admire your courage, SeattleGirl!

Happy New Year!

[SeattleGirl]

22. It's difficult to watch, that's for sure.

Makes me want to cry, watching what they are doing to these kids.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

23. Hitler Youth

That what it looks like...

[SeattleGirl]

26. You got it!

Raising little zombie-ites.

[Suich]

31. It kinda makes the Hitler Youth Corps and

the Taliban look like pikers, doesn't it?

:-(

[SeattleGirl]

33. Damn near does.

[Le Taz Hot]

27. I'm sorry, every single

one of those parents that sent their children to this thing needs to have CLOSE parental supervision if not taken away and placed with a SANE family member.

Isn't religion supposed to be comforting? Uplifting? Look at these kids! They're crying! Being told that the devil is after you from the time you're born. OMG! These kids are all looking like they're terrified.

I can't even type. :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

30. I know. That almost made ME cry, watching those kids.

:scared:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Ted Haggard!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[murielm99]

35. When I rented that movie from Netflix,

I watched it by myself. :scared:

Then, I told my husband he HAD to watch it. I watched it again, with him. But I didn't warn him. He was so upset by that movie. I should have warned him.

[SeattleGirl]

37. Yeah, I watched it by myself too.

My brain feels dirty!

[Blue_In_AK]

40. My husband went storming out of the room...

"I can't watch this shit!" I sat through the whole thing -- those are some scary people. I feel so sorry for those kids.

[SeattleGirl]

42. I feel sorry for the kids too.

[TheMightyFavog]

39. Here is what needs to be done to these kids...

They need to be strapped into a rig like in A Clockwork Orange and forced to watch every Episode of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion and the movie End of Evangelion back to back to back. Then after a few hour's rest to let the complete and thorough mindfuck set in, we shal rebuild them by putting them back in the same rig and forcing them to watch every Episode of Carl Sagan's Cosmos back to back to back. Break the kids down and build them up again anew.

Yes, there is the risk of some of these fundie kids having their heads explode during the viewing of Evangelion, (Hell, there's shit in that series that can make even the most hardcore atheist's brain hurt.) and I'm sure that Carl Sagan would not have approved of using his television series in this manner, but dammit, this would be worth it! This should be done in the name of humanity's very survival!

Oh, and by the way, that one South African youth pastor. I wonder if he secretly longs for the days of apartheid. Many of those white South African fundies do.
