On Louis Theroux now. Follow up to previous documentary about them. Vile hatefilled bastards.

It's uncomfortable to watch.

hardhatdonned · 03/04/2011 21:29

I feel nothing but pity for them. They claim to follow God who, if you believe in that kind of thing, preaches nothing but love and forgiveness yet all they do is preach hate and judgement.

They are not God fearing people.

They are gulliable, easily led, unintelligable fools who are to be derided and pitied.

kazzamacd · 03/04/2011 21:29

Thats why Im on here. These poor kids!! Cant bear to watch it.

southeastastra · 03/04/2011 21:30

i turned it off, not worthy of airtime

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:30

It makes me unfeasibly angry. I am not religious in the slightest but respect others faith. Awful awful people.

turn it off then if its making you unfeasibly angry

TeamLemon · 03/04/2011 21:32

They seem to completely ignore the entire message of the New Testement.

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:32

NO, because I want to feel angry about it. It makes me sick.

I love how, when challenged, they can't give a justification or anything other than a snide smile or a stupid song.

They are so filled with contradictions it's not even funny.

I do wonder though why they have indoctrinated their followers with such a hatred of homosexuality, makes me wonder if the leader guy is actually in denial and is actually gay.

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:33

I don't know the new testament louloudia but I do know that many people I know with a faith find them deeply offensive in their interpretation of the bible.

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:33

hardhat have just said that! All in denial.

Also this new stuff about taking on Lady GaGa songs. Erm if you're THAT against how modern women live then why even give her music air time (irrespective of whether you change the lyrics or not) if fornication is so evil why do they all have kids? Why do the girls wear vest tops? Why not dress in clothing akin to the islamic faith?

RitaMorgan · 03/04/2011 21:33

It's child abuse. It's a cult.

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:34

Without a doubt a cult.

I agree with HHD; it is riddled with contradictions.

I saw the previous one, where someone threw a water bottle at one of their children, who was holding an offensive sign. One of the parents turned around and asked why someone would do that to a kid. Yet they are arguing that bad things happen to people like being shot because it is a punishment from God, so that would apply to their children also.

It is very odd.

hairfullofsnakes · 03/04/2011 21:35

I was just about to start a thread on this! Totally horrific and sick. I am so offended by everything they believe and feel incredibly sorry for the children being taught that hate.

It is almost laughable that they use God to spout their shit. Well, the God I believe in is love not a hateful, judgemental and nasty figure they portray.

When one of those idiots spoke of the recent tsunami as 'awesome' I almost puked. Sick fuckers all of them. I feel sick watching this. So sick.

hardhatdonned · 03/04/2011 21:35

They're scared of Louis' intellect. The fact that he can trip them up shows how they are the 'type' to be sucked in by a cult. Low intellegence levels and desire to 'belong' and be 'accepted' no matter who that is by.

Also that blatantly obviously gay guy (Jack??) wtf is he doing joining up? Denial??

millie30 · 03/04/2011 21:36

These people thrive on publicity, they have even agreed to call off demos in the past in return for interviews. Making programmes about them, filming them, arranging counter demonstrations etc is exactly what they want. They are a tiny group of deranged bigots and if they had been ignored they would have gone away by now.

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:38

hardhat again just said same about Jack - obviously gay!

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:39

And jews killed jesus??? Fairly sure bible states it was the Romans!???

hardhatdonned · 03/04/2011 21:39

:o

AIBU to really really want Louis Theroux's job?

hardhatdonned · 03/04/2011 21:39

At the behest of the Jews was it not? Thought thats why Roman Catholics weren't too keen on Judaism and why Hitler loathed the Jews?

Could be wrong.

FudgeGirl · 03/04/2011 21:40

I just wonder, how are social services or the US equivalent not involved? When these kids are being indoctrinated?

NorthernGobshite · 03/04/2011 21:41

I know very little about the bible tbh. Heathen through and through!!

OP posts:
hardhatdonned · 03/04/2011 21:41

Why have they not been imprisoned for hate crimes? Or is that the amendment about free speech that protects them?
