[Nemesis]

Oh no, this thread isnt going to be good...

[AtifSajid]

[Halfwit]

hes living for jesus.

[Nemesis]

where the damn pics?


Probably on his camera :doh:

[Slowboy]

pics up

im at work i had a customer,

[Halfwit]

is he gonna stay like htat all day?

[Nemesis]

Well before everyone starts joking and throwing their opinions around.


At least he is doing it quietly and not using a megaphone to spout of endless ranting waving a bible around. If he isnt disturbing anyone, just showing a display like that, I think it should be respected.

nothing wrong with it, unitl he startss stopping ppl on the sidewalk and forcing his pamphlets to them lol...

but it seems very subtle.

[Allshow97]

It's one of the great things about this country is our right to free speech. George is right, atleast he is NOT! yelling or using a megaphone to opress his beliefs on other people.

haha u messed up hahahah u lose...hahah kill urself

[AtifSajid]

why is he all red? because of the blood that Jesus spilled?

[Sammich]

Oh no, this thread isnt going to be good...

why cuz theres kids missing

[Leisa]

I also think it should be respected :)

[Slowboy]

Well he has no bible with him no pamlets or megaphone. just himself and his cross. And i talked to him for about 10 minutes, hes a pretty cool guy. within that ten minutes, the only people that stopped out of the couple hundred cars passing by, was me and another guy with a eg hatch. kinda funny. but anyway he travels from city to city doin this. cause he says if you go to the streets you can make a bigger impact then in the church. People come to him, he does not go yelling at them saying you need jesus or your goin to hell kinda thing. Which we have an old lady that comes to the broadway were all the clubs are with her bible and yelling at us saying the devil got us and what not lol.

does he mo ve or is he in that position all thetime?

[babygurl]

Nice, that is actually kinda touching!!!

Yeah I agree he is doing a very good job on this!

Which City was this in?

[Bajjani]

in response to the red
i'd agree that its the blood judging from how the paint is on the cross it looks like they tried a drip effect
and i respect this man greatly..i dont respect people who try to get you to switch to their religion by preaching to you why theirs is better..but it sounds to me like hes just showing is faith in christ
i wouldn't doubt he has some demons he is having trouble coming to terms with either

[Slowboy]

No when i went up and talk to him he was looking up at me and what not, and in a differ position, and mean hes not being a mime. like i said he seemed like a really cool guy. normal not crazy

[Jaimecbr900]

You have to respect someone that does something in that manner.

I too agree that a megaphone and pamphlets are not the way to go.

Props to this guy for making a statement the right way. :goodjob:

[AtifSajid]

yeah im not down for the megaphone guys. Half the time its so loud that you cant even hear what they are saying.

[4dmin]

bahhhhhhh sorry its funny... seriously good he isn't outside an abortion clinic haggeling customers... but still if he wants it to be about Jesus why doesn't he just nail himself to the cross to show the pain instead of paint... just a suggestion.

[kelly marie]

can you attach the pics? i can't see them at work :(

[Bajjani]

umm
suicide sends you to hell
that could be a reason why

[Slowboy]

haha^^^^ but to the guy the said something bout the red dripping paint, yea it was very gorry paint.

[4dmin]

umm
suicide sends you to hell
that could be a reason why

you wouldn't be killing yourself by just driving nails through your hands feet :goodjob: ... just a little pain + blood

[Bajjani]

explain to me how you can nail both of your hands to a cross
and then if you nail both of your hands and your feet to a cross
this red liquid drips out of your body
and
slowly
you die
painfully

[Slowboy]

You got the point, im with you plus this is 2006, who wants to nail them selves to a cross, I think he has enough with what he is already doin. in my opinion, not your everyday person would go outside all day to carry this cross al over a city,. I wouldnt,

[4dmin]

well of course eventually you will die, but so would not eating for 2 weeks... but you could nail your self to the cross to feel the pain of jesus then seek medical atten afterward. i'm not physician but i don't think your just going to bleed to death by the wounds instantly so it far from suicide.... your view of it basically is like saying if you smoke your commiting suicide and its a sin. :goodjob:

[Bajjani]

no
im saying
you can't physically nail yourself to a cross
its impossible
then i'm saying
if you manage to nail YOURSELF to a cross
good luck getting down
so your more than likely going to die

[babygurl]

Paul are you IA's Mel Gibson?

[Slowboy]

Yeah again good point, you can only nail your legs and one arm, but i doubt after you nail your first limb, you will attempt another, cause the pain is goin to be to the extreme.

[dartingd]

i like that...nice...being a christian, i hate to see other christians try to go about witnessing in the wrong manner...+1 for posting this!

[Slowboy]

I just thought it would be something to think about, I did the walk with god for a year and half, but now i dont go to church or anything cause the drama and what not, witnessing is not easy.

[4dmin]

no

you can nail yourself the the cross you just may need some help w/ the last nail ;)

in the mean time you can feel what jesus did... and if your going to nail yourself to the cross i highly doubt you would be alone... honestly who do you plan on getting a darwin award if no one sees it :goodjob:

not being a dick but don't be such a pussy... how come muslims will die for their faith and christians tuck tail and run? don't fucking paint me a picture show me the real thing. you want to display the pain of jesus show us the pain... then i will say,"FUCK that sucks".

[Bajjani]

i dislike church
its boring and i can read the bible myself as i already have

[babygurl]

i like that...nice...being a christian, i hate to see other christians try to go about witnessing in the wrong manner...+1 for posting this!


Just to bring up this, maybe the people you view as doing witnessing in the wrong way , see it as the right....??? just a thought :)

[Slowboy]

I would have to say its the hardest lifestyle to live up to. And to actually be faithful and not a fake.

OK again going with the Christain religion, Jesus died on the cross so we dont have to go through what he did...

[babygurl]

that is true, but in alot of groups there will always be fake people!

[Bajjani]

Okay
Now if you are referring to Muslims dying for their faith and using something as..say...9/11 as an example, you are using brainwashed people who twist words..

thats like when people say since the bible says an eye for an eye thats what should be done, even though it says jesus wasn't for that as he stood up in front of MM and blocked her from being stoned and set let ye w/o sin cast the first stone...

and jesus sacrificed himself for our sins remember, he didn't do it so we could later repeat it, he did it and asked us to be faithful to god and men and not to lie/cheat/murder/steal so on so forth..

so i'm sorry that by doing that in my life i'm a pussy tucking tail and running while terrorist murder people when their holy book preaches peace..thats a terrible defense for your argument...study their faith ;-)

[{X}Echo419]

why is he all red? because of the blood that Jesus spilled?

I think Jesus was a Bulldogs fan :2cents:

that was "Old Testament". Jesus= New Testament.

[Bajjani]

yes, i have a copy of the bible that contains both :)

ive read it all the way thru

i was just using it as an example people try to claim that jesus preached that

[The Golden Child]

cool ..

[Ran]

I think Jesus was a Bulldogs fan :2cents: :lmfao:

Seriously tho, props to that guy for a subtle yet direct message. :goodjob:

[Jaimecbr900]

People need to realize that everyone expresses themselves differently. Why does there have to blood and guts gore to prove a point? Can the MESSAGE not be told without it? The guy has way more guts than most of us already IMO. How many of you would do what he is doing?

Give the guy a break.

If he was out there being arrogant and forceful it would be one thing, but him simply making a statement on a street corner and not bothering anyone is completely different. It's almost like a live painting. YOU make whatever out of a painting hanging on the wall, right? How is he standing on a street corner quietly any different? KKK members are allowed to march down the street SCREAMING about their one-sided view, why can't he do something QUIETLY? We put up with obsene profanity out of car windows, but we can't let this guy do something that makes people think in a positive way????

Come on folks, give this guy a break.

AMEN!!!

Hit the nail right on the head :)

[Bajjani]

what a time to use that metaphor..

[Jaimecbr900]

:thinking:

[Bajjani]

but you could nail your self to the cross

Hit the nail right on the head :)
that

[Dragonfly5338]

Nobody beats the crazy guy that stands on the corner of Barrett Parkway with a shirt that has "GO TO CHURCH FILTHY CHRISTIAN WHORES" written with sharpie and holds up signs that say "AM I GOING TO MARRY YOU? NO? THEN GET YOUR BREASTS AND ASS OUT OF MY FACE" and "GIRLS DRESS LIKE WHORES AT CHURCH BECAUSE THEIR MOTHERS ARE WHORES" hahahaa. He has someone arguing with him every time he's out there.

[Jaimecbr900]

that

:lmfao:

[Big Baller]

I think Jesus was a Bulldogs fan :2cents:

First I think what the guy is doing is cool.

Second Jesus is not a Bulldogs fan you can tell by the way the Tennesse game went.

Matt (who is a bulldogs fan)

[Bajjani]

i just thought it was kinda a funny time to use that one

[Vteckidd]

im not religous AT ALL, but i respect what he is doing. like someone else said , this is what makes America so great.

[{X}Echo419]

that was a lesson in humility or maybe God & Satan are pulling a Job(the guy. not as in work) on the dogs. :thinking:

I completely agree:yes:

[con]

look, it's a reformed gangsta..... tha red Dickie Suit :LIRL:

[Slowboy]

haha^^^^ thats funny. But for real I thought it was awsome what he was doin.

[4dmin]

no the point being... muslims will die for their faith i would go to say 90% of christians wouldn't. now the pussy part is we live in a SHOCK and AW society... if you want to make a profound impact nail yourself to the cross and scream out in horror WHAT WOULD JESUS DO... maybe you to can asend into the heavens to later be resurrected ;)

[RandomGuy]

lol jesus with the red dickies

[Ails85]

Tons of respect to that guy, as a Christian its hard to witness without pushing. This is a great way

[bdydrpdmazda]

the blood on that cross is very detailed, its a good thing hes doing IMO though, more people should be proud of their beliefs but not to the point to where you are constantly turning them away from your door or taking alternate routes to work, this guy is just on the corner minding his own buisness though, I would probably approach him and talk to him.

[Doppelgänger]

I'm not a very religous person, but +1 for respect of goign about it in a quiet, peaceful way to get the message across.

Wish more 'into my religion' people were like this!!

[ISAtlanta300]

you can nail yourself the the cross you just may need some help w/ the last nail ;)

People actually DO nail themselves to the cross or whip themselves with iron spikes or what have you around Good Friday. I believe it is in the phillipines and some latin american countries. Havent head you say "FUCK that sucks"then, and I doubt you would say "Fuck that sucks" if he did it now.

Besides, what good would it be for him to "show you the pain"? Jesus showed you the pain countless of time. Maybe YOU should feel HIS pain to put things into perspective.. :P"
