Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: happybhoy on April 05, 2007, 09:28:08 AM Tragic for the children in the family, you'd think there must be a point at which the authorities must be able to step in and point out that they are clearly causing long term physiological damage to their own kids and put a stop to it. On the plus side I'd imagine the whole thing will collapse when Gramps kicks the bucket.
Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: mex on April 05, 2007, 10:22:07 AM If you cause psycological damage in the name of religion, then you get away with it.
What i don't get is the message from religion is usually celebrate life, why can the people who are soooooooooo into it never actual get this simple message?

Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: mex on April 05, 2007, 10:28:29 AM She was so tempted, but ithink she blew it when she laughed at him because he was going to hell.
Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: Woodsey on April 05, 2007, 10:28:55 AM I was thinking that. A slightly better looking bloke who had his charm would have been in there I reckon!
Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: happybhoy on April 05, 2007, 10:31:17 AM That's bampot christians for you - selectively using the bible to prop up their own bigotry and intolerance since 1AD.
I thought he was getting well in there with one of the daughters at one point. Sadly it was not to be. Yeah thought that myself, when he was talking to at the end in the car you definately got the impression that once you got beneath all the kneejerk responses that I imagine has been kicked into these kids there was a human being who wasn't happy. I'd like to think that in years to come she sees the light and gets the hell out of there. Would have liked to see Louis catch up with some of the family members that had got away.Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: thetank on April 05, 2007, 10:33:08 AM He probably did, but they didn't want to be filmed.
Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: mex on April 05, 2007, 10:33:45 AM He will when he goes to hell.
Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: thetank on April 05, 2007, 10:42:46 AM I thought it was uplifting that they had not been subject to serious retribution other than the odd bit of fast food getting chucked at them.
In a predominantly Christian nation, a group that blashphemises and misuses the name of Jesus and God in the this hateful manner must burn a lot of folk to their core. That they have just let them be, and not burned down their house/church or anything serious like that struck me as being nothing short of remarkable. Dreadful that the kids are indoctrinated in this manner, but encouraging that the American society in general pretty much honors it's laws and allows this kind of free speech to occur. Turning the other cheek as it were. Title: Re: Louis Theroux BBC2 now Post by: happybhoy on April 05, 2007, 10:52:13 AM Yeah in a country where any bampot can have a gun, it takes some balls to do what they are doing at military funerals although I can't help but feel they are trying to provoke a violent response as it would justify their 'us and them' outlook. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all that jazz
