Blaine: Aww, you guys are just being defensive. Maybe you should follow the advice af an old sage I once knew--he was LDS Pres David O McKay. He said, "Avoid even the appearance of evil." Maybe you guys need to try doing that on your next round of harrassing the honorable Mormon people. Then you won't have so much explaining to do.
Ruben: Hey Blaine, how about giving credit where it is due. How about the Apostle Paul who wrote "Abstain from all appearance of evil" (1Th.5:22)..would that be to much to ask for? If you think we come to your town just to harass mormons? You guys are not the only sinners around, we could go elsewhere..but then again God is trying to give you a message of not outgrowing the Bible. I exhort you to join me in April, I exhort you to come Saturday 8AM-5PM and Sunday 7:30AM-4PM both days ALL DAY. Come and hear for yourself what we do and why we do. You will meet mormons that meet us every convention to continue our conversation from the past years. Come hear how with ONE question, we can get 4 different answers. With each of them schooled on saying "we don't believe that" or "what makes you think we believe that?" See how we use something as foolish as waving your holy undergarments to make points and gather crowds, but watch you don't get physical because most Salt Lake police hang around where I stand. Watch how we work with the police, City attorney, church security, media, mormons, ex-mormons, angry mormons rather than hearing it third hand, come watch for yourself. Not part of a day, ALL DAY and not one day ALL WEEKEND. If we can do it..mere uneducated street preachers, surely you..who holds the truth, who has the right church, who knows God can do that?..of course if that is OK with your wife? I don't want to see her drive around the temple while you and I are male bonding, she might get upset and you might not call her out from the grave? And you know me.I personally try to avoid problems in marriage. You can stand by me and I will guarantee that you will look at us with a different 20/20 then you do now, you can say nothing but listen or be provoked and get involved. You have ample time to make it happen. Let me give you an example of what we see and what everyone else may witness as two assorted views, this is a portion of my report published to other street preachers. ...The half time event would give you a peek of the streets in Houston that whole weekend. The city had over 300,000 people on Main Street (the main event), concerts, NFL experience, Super Bowl. Out on the streets the crowds are getting more like Mardi Gras/Spring break/MTV with beer, beads and breasts. I was not surprised to hear what Janet did. She symbolized the masses outside the stadium very well. One of the men that joined me preaching last weekend was astonished, he thought the Super Bowl was only a Sunday thing. He was amazed to see the massive amount of people an event like this can bring during that weekend. I can remember preaching to men that idolized the game, but now over the past 10 years, I've witnessed the drinking and nudity to be part of the game. I have not watched a Super Bowl on television for...I can't remember the last one, but I've heard the commercials are even getting corrupted with bad humor? She portrayed inside the stadium what those outside were all about. Maybe her and Michael have more in common than looks? WILL THERE BE AN ENCORE?? Once AGAIN Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake will be together at the 46th annual Grammy Awards here in Los Angeles at the Staples Center this Sunday. As with the Academy/People choice/SAG/MTV/ESPN/Black entertainment/music awards we plan on being there preaching a message to all those BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS...WILL THERE BE AN ENCORE?? Or WHO will do what to WHOM? What will these people expose next, since they will have home field advantage of muSICK fans, instead of a football game? But not all these MTV types seem to be so freaky, two weekends ago in Beverly Hills. We were at the "people choice awards" and limo after limo passed by our signs and our preaching. Robin Williams/Tom Hanks/Billy Bob Thorton rolled down their window to yell something to us, but the one that gave us the biggest "Amen" was no other than Queen Latifah hip-hops-sista. Her limo passed by as she rolled down the window, stuck her head out and gave us a big "Praise the Lord."
