DAVEH:  My latest comments are in RED........ irebukeu wrote:  May I ask another few?  Assuming the answer is 'yes', how do you believe God called you to witness to the folks in SLC?   Well DAVEH I�ve been preaching in public for almost 25 years.Born a raised a Catholic and right out of high school became a Christian (sorry no drug, alcohol, jail testimony), started to read and study the Bible and had many questions.Talked with the priests in the Church I grew up in here in the Los Angeles area, but they did not answer my questions and based everything on tradition.I was disturbed and grieved when he told me not to read my Bible.So�.Well boys and girls, the next Sunday I stood on the steps of my home Church and preached to everyone going in.My friends, neighbors, kids I went to school with and even my mother was walking in, all heard my outside message of �Knowing the God of the Bible.�Did I understand public preaching in the Bible�No, did I understand laws on the sidewalk�No, I just did what I was inspired to do.The more I studied the more things were learned and conformed, and almost 25 years later.As they say in certain parts of Los Angeles��I still be here.�  I have been preaching at large events for most of those years with many millions preached to yearly with a tailored message to them.Preaching with large banners and mega phone (or as we call them, NO bull-horns)at the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, Super Bowl, Olympics, concerts, sodomite parades nationwide, hanging �John 3:16� signs in the end zones of football games, cults, gurus, palm readers, and this will be my 20th year in Mardi Gras, just to name a few events.I preach that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a holy life, preached repentance and was crucified and on the third day rose and neither is there salvation in any other.Debating Bible in the sidewalks from New York to Los Angeles and preaching on campuses from Harvard to Berkeley for almost two decades. I do not push a Church or doctrine, but simply the Bible. Been on local news nationwide more time than I can count, radio stations nationwide, BBC, even mentioned on Rush�s show, can be seen on COPS, PBS, MTV, History, Discovery and even the comedy channels, in fact HBO is doing a documentary on me at this present time on public preaching.Other that that DAVEH�nothing. DAVEH:  Thank you for responding to my questions, Ruben.  I appreciate you sharing the above with us. In regarding the Mormons, if you wish to give these people a message of out growing the Bible, where else to give this message but Salt Lake City during conference. DAVEH:  If you want to make a big impact, I suppose that is a good (from your perspective) place to do it.  However, it seems (to me, anyway) a two edged sword.  If you do a bad job of it (such as waving underwear), I have to think the image you create for yourselves (and Christians in general) may be counter productive.   Does that thought get discussed in your pre-protest planning?  (I've asked that before, but there have been so many posts lately I may have overlooked your reply.) And just for the record, I am not a one themed preacher, I do not preach just against the Mormons or J.W.ers, I do not just preach against homosexuals or abortion� I AM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY REBUKER.  DAVEH:  Ahhhhhh......it's nice to know you aren't picking on us alone!      :-) However, I am curious to know if you go to such extremes (the underwear business) with some of those others you mentioned as you do with us.......? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
