can someone please stop these fanatics?

The JFJ have gone and done it again (or at least one of my correspondents forwarded another article).

I escaped their cult after years of being a missionary with them - with my faith shaken - but still intact.

For those of us who seek to share with our Jewish brothers and sisters about our Messiah, the actions of the JFJ cult, pandering to the whims of the Christian church is sickening. They embarrass us but think they have the hegemony and right to do so - as they are "out there" preaching the word.

It really is a sleight on us, the JFJ - or at least David Brickner are deceived.

He should desist in calling himself a Jew forthwith and desist in purporting to speak for those of us who indeed are halachically Jewish and believe in the hope of Israel - Yeshua the Messiah.

He can keep his church mangled Christ should he so wish.

Sickening.

David Brickner is an antisemite?

The half Jewish (via his father) leader of the Jews for Jesus recently spoke in the church of Sarah Palin in Alaska.

She's been accused of some rather racist remarks, but you'd think that the leader of the Jews for Jesus might be a llittle more sensitive, what with purporting to be Jewish and all:

I'm so shocked - you can read them for yourself here:

Evangelism is not of God

Maybe that title caught your eye...
the same old, same old methods of the JFJ - wherever you are, craft fairs, street markets, street corners, university campuses,
all vying for attention with those ads for learning English, cutprice suits, laundromats etc.
The Lord of All Creation being peddled by kids who should no better but sadly their elders haven't taught them, being reduced to a commodity to be pushed on the streets. Maybe you just wanna get home from the metro stop but you can't avoid them and their "witty comebacks" -

be sure to be asked
1. who do you think jesus is
2. have you ever considered he is the messiah
3. you know you could invite him into your life here and now
4. would you like to


all of these things are great, but motivation of the kids asking might be to attain kudos and another statistic, not the kingdom of heaven

forgive my rant - it's the middle of the night!

I had a dream and Moishe Rosen was singing the old song "the ballad of 47th street"

come back people,
write more postcards,
come back people
do more sorties
moishe has come
he's heard your cry
open up your wallets
redemption is nigh

the streets were crawling

all over the world with human beings doubling for paper distribution machines

BYG - Bring your (own) God

the embarrassing Jews for Jesus

Can't someone explain to them that their methodolgoy [sic] is more bothersome than helpful?

In an amongst all those who peddle their wares on the street are annoying people who push their religion on you, I used to badger people too.

It sure does seem black and white to some when eternal destiny is concerned.

Advertising the Gospel

"I even had a sign all made, says Moskowitz and Daughter,
But now you've picked a different trade; you don't wanna preach the Gospel?"

Tradition!

Seems that many of the offspring of the Jews for Jesus are going their own way, some arrested for more than personal supply of drugs, others working in dubious positions at well-known companies and yet others doing things that would have got their parents thrown out of the JFJ cult for "moral turpitude" (as their workers' agreement/covenant states).

Is nothing sacred any more!
