Red Dwarf ...

Hey Dudes and Dudesses ,

Classic British Sci- Fi comedy -

Which I was banned from watching when I was part of that wacky cult- because it was 'against Jesus' - which almost destroyed my life. 

-So now I'm free from all that crap & I'm now moved from my bro's house to my sister's pad , who's gone out for a smooch with her girlfriend, I'll watch it some more now!

Its cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone, more or less.
Let me fly, far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie, shipwrecked and comotoase,
Drinking fresh, mango juice,
Goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.

I'll pack my bags and head into hyperspace
Where I'll succeed at time-warp speed
Spend my days in ultraviolet rays
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.

We'll lock on course straight through the universe
You and me and the galaxy
Reach the stage where hyper-drive's engaged
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.

'This Jew died for you' - a Jews for Jesus - crap video

Hey all,

A Christian I know enthusiastically sent me a note about this one called 'This Jew died for you', as done by the Jews for Jesus organisation, saying it really explained Jesus as a Jew and why we needed to believe in him. I'm not going to put this video up, as I have no desire to give a free add to a group I have no time for. This video has been doing to rounds since Passover  when it was released on you tube, link here. So far it  has got thousands of comments and a million hits.

With all due respect to our Christian and non Jewish readers, I have to say what the fuck do these people think they are playing at? This has to be the shittiest and most crassest video our friends Jews for Jesus have yet come up with, surely? It isn't just that the acting is appalling, but  the fact you have Jesus carrying a cross into a concentration camp actually highlights the fact that to Christians he is not 'Just another Jew'  or else historically,  Christians wouldn't have gone around accusing Jews of killing him, thinking up blood libels and arranging expulsions of Jewish communities, whenever there was something up & a Jewish scapegoat needed to be found.

I disagree with the message anyways, but it is like, do they really think they'll convert anyone with vids like this? A dude is tempted to say 'as you were', because vids like this will stop them in their tracks as it such a crappy, shitty, vid, which might make them feel better, but will have no success in converting anyone. 

Children of Israel are NEVER alone!

Sam the dude, here (AGAIN!) , 

I wanted to put this vid up as it chimes with my own thoughts after my experiences with atheism, liberalism and wacko fundie 'Xian cults and my own returning to the Jewish fold. Thanks be to God, who worked through my dear and lovely brothers and sisters. Even when I'd lost them, they didn't loose me. Neither did God.The big irony is that, to summarize how I feel, I've got a song sung by a Mormon (non of the usual jokes about how I look like Donny Osmond please!) and written by an atheist. Still it is relevant to my own personal journey: 

And then the encouragement from my family, which is how in my own weird way, is who I can explain  this  stuff :

Rabbi Singer vs Jews for Jesus

Hello all,

Samuel here!

Whilst my bro is on his romantic 3 days away, I'm trying to keep up the blogging front (and look after my bros kids, all 16, less 1). Speaking of that 'less one' this is a post for my fab niece, Natasha, who is at university and has been approached targeted by groups who say they are Jewish , are   a particular wacko Proddy  version of Christianity  sect of Christianity. So this post is for you, in which Rabbi Tovia Singer debates and explains why Jews might have a problem with devout Christians a funny mishmash of Judaism and Christianity, justifying manipulating  Judaism  to convert Jews by any possible means :
