Some news that may shock you all, but probably not.

Swishy III · 02-24-2004, 09:10 AM

Well, as of Sunday, I'm going to be off for 21 days. I'm going on a 21 days media fast with the rest of our Tops team (Time of Praise at School), and so basically we're allowed no TV, movie, newspaper, internet (other than email), magazine, video game, radio... no media.

You probably all think I'm insane and just a fundamentalist Christian (yes, this IS mainly to get more committed to God...) but I don't really care and am going to do it anyway. So if anyone for some strange stupid reason wants to contact me, you can email me at swishy37@hotmail.com or post a ton of stuff here for me to be surprised with when I get back

Kayl · 02-24-2004, 09:29 AM

Hope it goes (went if you're reading this 3 weeks from now) well.

What? I can understand abstaining from TV and the rest, but...

Are you trying to insinuate that Tetris is a tool of the devil?

Man, I swear I would die of boredom without media. You can still read books though, right? Just read loads of novels based on good films or something

* sends telepathic message to read BATTLE ROYALE! *

Guessing from the other stuff he's restraining from, i'm gonna guess that books will be a no-no

...

Apart from THAT book obviously.

Ape Variety · 02-24-2004, 02:50 PM

you fucking idiot swishy.

committed to god...?

Dave Miles · 02-24-2004, 03:01 PM

.....that's gay.

Kunio · 02-24-2004, 03:12 PM

Is there going to be like Spencer's Mountain? With tiny girls scoping for any "devil activity" you make?
And you have to say that anything you do is related to God? And if you kiss a girl there or read something and talk about pregnancy, you'll get tiny girls stoning you?

Andres · 02-24-2004, 03:22 PM

that's not bound to happen:

Good luck. We'll just not bother following you and go to hell. OK?

Video games are warping our kids minds, my son's dog bugo got hit by a truck, and said, "Daddy Daddy where's the reset button."

Scatterbrain · 02-24-2004, 07:34 PM

I too would probably laugh like Clown (probably quote his laughter) BUT I remember I was literally commanded to provide Lead-Guitar for some thing at school for a whole week...these pricks from some small village (somewhere near Conventry I think...) came into our school for a week and chatted about how amazing God is...

Trying to make it look good by putting on some crummy show really didn't help...the best bit had to be when I was on the balcony at the back of the hall at the soundboard and somebody pretending to be Jesus on the cross who had a light behind her throwing her shadow onto a huge curtain hiding her, snapped the Crucifix, came tumbling down and brought the whole lot crashing to the floor...

But anyway....the worst bit was playing these crappy Religious songs and being forced to play some cheesy guitar solos....I'd never been so ashamed...but there was one bit...taking the piss in front of the whole school by putting in some really 80's style solo! but still....religious groups, trips, activities...all SUCK.

MP3's for mockery, jest and piss-take can be made available for those who request them...

Digital Taco · 02-24-2004, 07:39 PM

LETS TALK ABOUT HIM BEHIND HIS BACK!

Demented Ferret · 02-24-2004, 07:46 PM

Swishy, If I were God, I would not GIVE A FUCK about a group of kids who decide to stop playing games and watch TV, if you believe in a Heaven, DOING THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET YOU THERE.

Kayl · 02-24-2004, 07:48 PM

Why does the amount of arseholes in the world continue to amaze me?

Demented Ferret · 02-24-2004, 08:14 PM

Well...I'm right, aren't I? There's no logic in it at all.

Gorosaurus · 02-24-2004, 08:44 PM

Uh... Ferret, you're not God.

And it's about SACRIFICE, you dorktards. Sacrficing things you love to take for granted. Since we don't have a bunch of rams and cattle in our back yards anymore, these means prove much better.

Hope you see the movie before ya go though, Swishmeister

EDIT: Ha ha... taking cattle for granted..

ok dude seriously...if I was part of a religion I could make some sacrifices. Church every sunday...done. Pray daily...yeah no big deal. Protest the funerals of gay people...ok sure.

But give up TV? FUCK NO. Who in their right fucking mind would give up TV for 3 weeks? Plus the internet too? WHAT THE FUCK. Seriously...get the fuck outta that church right now.

Fucking dolt. What're they gonna make you do next?

"Hey. Hey guys. OK...for the next two weeks you CAN'T USE YOUR HANDS. No hands allowed. Gotta turn on light switches with your feet. That's how Jesus did it. With his FEET. Oh, and when we finish this, we're gonna go 9 days without looking at any objects that are RED. Stop signs, stoplights, Indians...can't look at any of them. Just wait guys. You'll be so in touch with Jesus after this, you'll be able to feel him in your back pocket."

The 3FA (3dmm farmers association) demands you to remove that insulting statement

Gorosaurus · 02-24-2004, 09:01 PM

BUT YOU TEH QUOTED IT!! THAR IS NO HDING IT NOW

Demented Ferret · 02-24-2004, 09:09 PM

I'm just saying that there is no logic in thinking that a God will approve of you suffering.

Alan Lasher · 02-24-2004, 09:30 PM
