Religious stalking
December 23, 2007 - 10:59am — Joespoon04
Why is it that even here, far from the hyper-religiosity of the Fundamentalist state I grew up in, people still tell me, out of the blue, that Jesus loves me? Why is it that these people try to force "love" on me when I don't want it? Why do I "freeze" while those solicitors molest my spirituality and earn their way into heaven? What's with that here in the Falls? |

"A + Cheese = a really cool F-16"
That's basically how I interpret everything you people say about Jesus. It's disjointed and doesn't make sense.
My dear friend Joespoon04, I...
Back to page topMy dear friend Joespoon04,
I have read some of your blog. I was saddened by what you have written. I see that you haven’t experienced God’s love yet. I pray that you will.
What you need to look at, is the world around you. How did the trees come about? How did the water or land (etc.) come about? . . . I feel the wind but I can’t see it but I know it is there. Do you ever cherish the wind blowing on you? It feels good, doesn’t it?
Christianity is about having a relationship with Jesus. It is a spiritual thing. We develop relationships with one another and that’s a physical thing. Do you have a wife? Or kids? Are your parents still on earth? If so, then you have a relationship with them. It is the same manner with Jesus. I know Jesus is real. At Christian reunions, we share what God has done for us. We experience miracles and it is real. We feel God’s love for us. We know God’s love for us. We read the Bible to help us understand God’s likes and dislikes. One thing I do understand: “Sin” really hurts us by a longshot. It causes diseases, chaos and disasters. That is why God hates “sin.” It isn’t because He doesn’t want you to have fun. Sins really do “hurt” us. And because He loves us, it hurts Him. I have seen and experienced it.
Joe, are you at peace with yourself? Are you happy? That’s a question you need to ask. Only you know the answer.
I sign myself as GrizzlyJan as I have seen and experienced much. I am at peace with myself and very happy, even though I have lost three homes over the course of my life. One through the fire, another through five years of vandalism and the last home was lost through being chased out from chaos. I am not bitter about it. I have learned much. Most importantly, I still love God. I know in the end that I will get everything back. (The Bible tells us so.) Get to know God. Believe it or not, eventually, you’ll find yourself among us. We don’t hate people. We have pity on those who hate us. For, they know not what they’re saying. Jesus died on the cross for us and loves US so much. It is true. Many of us have experienced his “LOVE.” Like the wind, it’s felt rather than seen.
GrizzlyJan, I'm done with...
Back to page topGrizzlyJan,
I'm done with the Jesus topic because it always ends the same way. Regardless, Jesus never existed, it's never my fear of going to hell that tells me the Jesus story is an astro-theological literary hybrid, and I have seen more "love" entertained by Christians holding guns, dead-fetus posters and outdated 2,000 year-old books than any sane person should have to bear. I'm done. Done, get it? The self-importance of you people is killing me.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF!!! CLOSE THIS BLOG!!!
Hooray for Grizzlyjan! Jan,...
Back to page topHooray for Grizzlyjan! Jan, did you notice that Joe started this blog as a question? Guess he doesn't like the answers. My pappt taught me to never ask a question if you can't bear the answer. Now he wants the newspaper staff to close off this blog. That being the case, how strange it is that he keeps going back to it.
Mongo, I'm better than you....

Back to page topOh, Mongo, and when I start being told by the religious stalkers on this blog that they've got my personal info and that I'd better watch myself, that's when I call for the end to a topic, just as roj and kay have. See, the reaction just illustrates my point, mongoloid. Christians get crazy when they're told that Jesus isn't speaking through their words at me. So I just give up.
End of topic.
Oh, and hey Mongo . . . hey buddy . . . yeah you . . . hey guy . . . cutie pie . . . want some catnip? . . . guess what . . .?
I'm better than you. Always have been, always will be. noob.

Back to page topTO HAVE SOMEONE'S NUMBER - "To understand them closely; to have an insight into their thoughts, actions, and character." From "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" revised by Adrian Room (HarperCollinsPublishers, New York, 1999, Sixteenth Edition).
Nobody has your personal info. Nobody is stalking you. Nobody cares. Well except Jesus. ;-)
BTW Concernedperson, you can go back and edit your own posts.
What do you think Blackbay,...
Back to page topWhat do you think Blackbay, left wing-right wing, demo- GOP, strong-weak, smart-stupid, sane-insane, religious- athiest. It is nice being middle of the road ,don't you think. It would be nice if some of this insanity stopped. Krazys on both sides ranting and taking up space. By the way, send your dues. Talk to you later, nice to read opinions from a commen sense right winger like you, even roj, sometimes.Some good things from the left too, like F18 and a few others. But it all solidifies my Trumanism. Sorry about any spelling errors. Oh, did I tell you to pay your dues, hey hey!
Blackbay, You break your...
Back to page topBlackbay,
You break your promises. Therefore, I'm better than you, too.
(Isn't there a poetry and a beauty in reducing to a phrase the sentiment that perpetuates these blogs? I've essentially made a verbal caricature of reality that people have begun to treat as real. I hope everyone starts using it, because it does just the same as bullet-points in a real argument. Get used to saying it: "I'm better than you.")
It was a resolution not a...
Back to page topIt was a resolution not a promise. A non binding one at that. People make resolutions to lose weight, stop smoking etc and they break them all the time. We are flawed creatures, but God loves us anyway, including you. I've seen the light Joe and I have put things in the past. I hope you can also. Peace be with you.
Blackbay, I find that I can...
Back to page topBlackbay, I find that I can only edit a few of my posts can you shed some light on how to edit all of my posts? I would indeed like to withdraw the wikipedia paste and just put the link there even if no one would bother to read the truth, and believe what joespoon tells them.
Joe, remember the movie...
Back to page topJoe, remember the movie DELIVERANCE, where your cross-eyed brother played "Dueling Bangos" in Dog Patch while uncle Ernie was down by the river saying "Squeal like a pig, come on now, squeal like a pig" . . . Go back to the hollow Joe where you'll be considered a genius. In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is considered the king.
Mongo, You mangled that...
Back to page topMongo,
You mangled that quote. It should have been, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
I wouldn't have mangled that quote. You know why?
I'm better than you.

Back to page topJoespoon04,
Remember, wear a respirator when mixing the chemicals for your "recreational drugs"!
You like talking about drugs...
Back to page topYou like talking about drugs a lot. First, it was in reference to a "coke spoon" (I had to look that one up), and now it's an allusion to cooking meth. You sure make the illicit drug rounds, don't you?
CokeSpoon, How did you know...
Back to page topCokeSpoon,
How did you know I was aluding to Meth?? Come on Kooch Sherrif's Office, you have a new meth lab, just two miles out of town and can't smell the fumes, over the fresh doughnuts??

Back to page topYour wife can tell them where I live.
Spoon, Which wife? I'm...

Which wife? I'm Mormon, and I'm running for President!

If I wanted to spell moron,...
Back to page topIf I wanted to spell moron, it would be "nobody special"!! LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!!! The next President of the U.S. will be a Mormon, and you will still be a "Moron". Does Servo =Joe(cokespoon) = nobody special ????

Back to page topI AM ROJ2000!! Yes, we're all different characters in my multiple personality disorder. I need to make up my detractors so I can pretend to have ANY attention paid to me because I am too forgettable otherwise.

Back to page topIf indeed you are all of these characters, you might find it beneficial to leave the computer and go outside. Maybe even talk, face to face, to a real person. Better yet, listen and focus on what they are trying to say. Feel the snow fall on your face.
You sound lonely. The Christmas dinner at the Roadhouse is coming up. Lots of nice doin's around town.

Back to page topYou Guys need to find something else to do? I logged into this site 6 months ago and again today and the same lonely guys (?)ranting and raving about "issues". Have you ever thought about maybe doing something "active" about the issues instead of just talking about them? I would love to log onto one of these blogs and see that you actually accomplished something instead of blah blah blah... See you in six months.
Frankly, I'd love to travel...
Back to page topFrankly, I'd love to travel the country asking people why World Trade Center building #7 fell down, but I don't exactly want to be thrown in Guantanamo Bay as an "enemy combatant" and never have a trial because Habeas Corpus was suspended by this ass-hat in the oval office.
And I just signed up on ifallsdailyjournal, little girl.
