From MovingOn Admin Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 05:49 (Agree/Disagree?) James/Jotham, This Website was setup for those who were born and raised in The Family--whether in or out--not those who chose to join it. So 1) You are not welcome here 2) Please respect that and 3) If you must spam a Website with entire passages of Bible scripture that is readily available on hundreds of other sites around the Internet, please do so to your own Website. I've taken the liberty of reducing your comment to an appropriate reference (complete with a link) to save on bandwith. Now kindly mosey along. Thank you. (reply to this comment)

From Snufkin Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 03:13 (Agree/Disagree?) OMG... its not like we can't pick up a bible if we hadn't had enough of this shite as kids. I would imagine most ppl would have one at home... stop spamming this site already!(reply to this comment)

from neez Monday, January 29, 2007 - 04:56 (Agree/Disagree?) Pasted from http://www.kt70.com/~jamesjpn/index.shtml "Dec. 26, 2006: I was slightly injured in an accident while riding a bicycle. A van pulled from a driveway onto the sidewalk about to enter the street. I didn't see him because I was holding an umbrella directly in front of me to protect myself from the wind and rain. I smashed into the side of the van!" The guy's a fucken idiot. Let's hope he takes up motorcycling. On a more disturbing note. Apparently Ricky and Angela Smith will still be working together during the endtime. Oh and Valium, Ritalin, and Prozac "cause violent rages". http://www.deeptruths.com/letters/magic_green_shirt.html (reply to this comment)

from Christy Sunday, January 28, 2007 - 16:15 (Agree/Disagree?) I lived with Jotham for a while. He is a real oddball with poor social skills, but he wasn't necessarily a bad person. Once after he'd made some offensive comments, I asked my fellow teamworkers if the only reason we kept him was because he had good home support. Tolerance has not always been my strong point. Now that I've worked with several autism students, I think he showed symptoms of either high functioning autism or asperger's sydrome. The EE nationals did consider him a little creepy. I remember that as soon as East European nationals would turn 21, he'd approach them for a date. Most felt free to say "no". (reply to this comment)

From Fancy That! Sunday, January 28, 2007, 17:19 (Agree/Disagree?) Why the f*** couldn't the cult where I was raised make it so 12-year olds felt free to say "no"? Where the weirdos in the home who got good cash from the "home support" country disn't have to be appeased with child flesh?(reply to this comment)

From O M G Monday, January 29, 2007, 02:45 (Agree/Disagree?) Hahahaha I remember Jotham... he used to pass through our home. He showed me an ad he had written for that family "classifieds" thingy... lovelines was it? A very detailed description of his perfect girl... one of the things was that she should be as young as was legal... he was basically looking for a 21 yr old and seemed puzzled he couldnt get it. My brothers still laugh about how creepy he was, we would be watching a film and he would burst into tounges and start praying for the ppl in the film to be safe and not to do the "wrong" thing... the guy was bonkers.(reply to this comment)

From Samuel Monday, January 29, 2007, 04:49 (Agree/Disagree?) At least he didn't give away key parts of movies he had already seen when we were watching them for the first time. One "brother" that stayed with us for a few days completely ruined "The Patriot" for us. It would otherwise have been a really great movie.(reply to this comment)

From steam Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 05:16 (Agree/Disagree?) Yeah preying lechoruosly on young woman, not nearly as bad as giving away some movie part. By the way in Sixth Sense "I see dead people" the psychiatrist is already dead.(reply to this comment)

From Eric Cartman Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 15:16 (Agree/Disagree?) Darth Vadar is Luke Skywalker's father.(reply to this comment)

From Haunted Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 19:37 (Agree/Disagree?) Leonardo De-Crappio is NOT the King of the World. Rather, he is the poor fucker who gets offed for Cinematic tear-jerking....oh, and the old lady has the stone the whole time.(reply to this comment)

From an apostate Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 08:00 (Agree/Disagree?) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!(reply to this comment)

From placebo Monday, January 29, 2007, 04:57 (Agree/Disagree?) gee, did he tell you there was gonna be a war? That's gotta suck. When I saw that I was sure the colonists and the brits were gonna be able to work their differences out.What a twist when they ended up fighting each other....Mel Gibson is the man!(reply to this comment)

From Samuel Monday, January 29, 2007, 05:15 (Agree/Disagree?) Sometime I'll tell you what he gave away in the chatroom. There are people on this site that might want to see the movie- and I wouldn't want to spoil it for them.(reply to this comment)

From rainy Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 02:59 (Agree/Disagree?) hahahaha Oh Samuel stop it(reply to this comment)

From Snufkin Tuesday, February 06, 2007, 03:11 (Agree/Disagree?) I should have thought that anyone who really wanted to see this god-awful piece of nationalistic propaganda would have seen it years ago when it came out.(reply to this comment)

From AnnaH Monday, January 29, 2007, 11:17 (Agree/Disagree?) At least two of Mel Gibson's sons die. The teenage one gets shot. Heath Ledger gets either stabbed or shot, can't remember, by Cornwallis who is super sexy with his hair down. Heath's fiancee is also burned alive in a church along with the rest of the congregation. Mel Gibson kills Cornwallis, I think with an american flag. Americans win. The end. (reply to this comment)

From Shaka Monday, January 29, 2007, 13:31 (Agree/Disagree?) No, Cornwallis was the General who surrendered at the end. I forget the kickass ruthless dude's name who stabbed pretty boy in the stomach (best part of the movie, gut wounds are a bitch). There was too much cheesy, too little gore, and no boobie. Not one of my favs. (reply to this comment)

From neez Thursday, February 01, 2007, 06:14 (Agree/Disagree?) The best thing about that movie was the irony of casting two aussies as the heroes.(reply to this comment)

From live_fast-die_young Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 06:05 (Agree/Disagree?) Jason Isaacs is lurking behind shrubbery, shaving I believe, pretty boy surprises him. He should know not to interrupt a man's toilette rituals. Or am I mixing it up with another film? Entirely unimpressive, besides Jason Isaacs performance, of course. (reply to this comment)

From ErikMagnusLehnsher Tuesday, January 30, 2007, 17:53 (Agree/Disagree?) IIRC, it was immediately after Jason Isaac's character (leader of the Green Dragoons) had torched that church with all the members of the town that had been supplying the militia still inside...including young Gabriel Martin (AKA "pretty boy")'s fiance. The pastor of the church turned militia man, Gabriel and a couple of other guys try to catch up with the British by a river they're camped out at. They manage to surprise them and Isaacs is shot but he's merely grazed in the shoulder. Gabriel drops his gun and grabs his knife to carve up Isaacs when Isaacs surprises him and stabs him. This sets up the climactic scene at the end of the movie where Benjamin Martin and the leader of the Green Dragoons face off on the battlefield. ...and yes, I do remember way too many details about movies and yes, I am pathetic.(reply to this comment)

From live_fast-die_young Thursday, February 01, 2007, 08:50 (Agree/Disagree?) Oh dear, I must have mixed up death of one pretty boy with death of another pretty boy. I'm so sure I can remember a scene with Jason Isaacs surprized while shaving near shrubbery! (reply to this comment)

From Blondie Thursday, February 01, 2007, 09:39 (Agree/Disagree?) Go to http://www.jason-isaacs.co.uk/reviews/patriot-medusa.htm and search "shave". I thought you were right about the shaving scene in this one as well. And then doesn't Mel take revenge on him for killing his son? Then again, I could be wrong as well. (reply to this comment)

From apostate Thursday, February 01, 2007, 13:18 (Agree/Disagree?) Mel just takes revenge for everything, for America, for his kids, for his sister-in-law soon to be wife...etc. He picks up a boyoet after having his ass handed to him by Jason Isaacs and rams the bayonet through his throat and stands there watching the blood ooze from his throat and mouth while making some remark or other about how "I told you I'd kill you". Hooray!(reply to this comment)

From AnnaH Monday, January 29, 2007, 15:25 (Agree/Disagree?) Hmm....that might be why I didn't get an A on my American History exam. Note to self: Don't cite Mel Gibson movies in history classes. (reply to this comment)

from Nick Friday, January 26, 2007 - 06:30 (Agree/Disagree?) Prophet Bus members are Satanists!!!! That is if you believe the weird ratings of this guy. In his article posted at http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/signs_of_satan.htm He lists loads of people that are making the "Satan" sign and claims that they are all Satanists. Well why don't you go and look at the pic's of the prophet bus at http://www.prophetbus.com/ go to the pic that is titled "One of our teams with Pollyanna, a young lady who was very receptive and may work with us in the future." You can clearly see the " Satanist" family member making his evil "Satanist" sign with his hand!!! OMG, we grew up in a Satanist cult! Were you all aware of this??? (reply to this comment)

From Nick Monday, January 29, 2007, 10:04 (Agree/Disagree?) So I am bored at work on Friday with nothing to do so I decide to play around with this idiot and send him an email asking if he was aware that the prophet bus team are Satanists. Here is the email that I sent him along with the two that he replied back to me. Funny how he gives this guy the benefit of the doubt and says how it was only accident or that the sign was not really Satanist symbol. Yet with all the other people on his blog they are downright evil Satanists. What an idiot! James, Are you aware that members of the Family’s “Prophet Bus” team in the US are Satanists??? Why don't you go and look at the pic's of the prophet bus at http://www.prophetbus.com/ go to the pic that is titled "One of our teams with Pollyanna, a young lady who was very receptive and may work with us in the future." You can clearly see the "Satanist" family member making his evil "Satanist" sign with his hand!!! Were you aware that they were Satanists? I think you better notify the leadership fast, before they spread their evil doctrines any further. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Nick, Thank you for your email and sharing what you found on the web page. I saw the young man with the hand sign and compared it to photos on a page I'm familiar with: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/signs_of_satan.htm Though it does appear somewhat to be a Satanist hand sign, I don't think the brother did that intentionally. But if he did and he is indeed a Satanist, he's the only one there (I hope!). The Family teaches that Satan is an evil fallen angel formerly named Lucifer who fights Jesus Christ and God's children and His creation. We love Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came in the flesh and died in the flesh for our sins on the cross! We preach the Message of the Cross of Christ, not Satanism, not Luciferianism. We consider them the Enemy! Tell you what, I'll try to contact the web master of that web site and point out the photo to them and try to find out more about the person in question. If he was raised in the Family, he can't be a satanist. And I'll check out what the site is saying. I've glanced at it before but have not gone over it throughly. Thank you for your concern! Your brother in Christ, James ----------------------------------------------------------- Hello Nick, I think you'll be glad to know that the offensive photo on http://www.prophetbus.com/ has been cropped so that the satanist guy with the hand signal is out if it! I wrote the prophet bus team and gave them your comments. Their reply was: "We certainly appreciate your comments about the guy with that hand signal. We actually don't know who that guy was, as he jumped into the picture just before we clicked. We have just cropped the picture and got rid of that guy's hand signal." So please don't think they are all Satanists! Maybe that one guy was - a stranger. I know one of the members personally. We are Christians who love and follow Jesus Christ, the Lord of all creation! James ---------------------------------------------------------- Well there you have it! We now know that the prophet bus team are not Satanists. Phew! What a relief! (reply to this comment)

From hahahahah Monday, January 29, 2007, 16:11 (Agree/Disagree?) "If he was raised in the Family, he can't be a satanist." hahahahahahhahahahaaaaa(reply to this comment)

From cheeks Monday, January 29, 2007, 10:47 (Agree/Disagree?) OMG. LOL.That is the funniest damn thing I have read all week.(reply to this comment)

from Oddman Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 21:44 (Agree/Disagree?) Homocultus Transientus!! How many times does this cult transient have to get featured on MovingOn? At least three times so far that I can remember. James Arendt, A.K.A. Jotham, is just a travelling vagrant pinch vote member for charter requirement purposes. As wacky as culties come, the transient bachelor types (see also U.Chip, see also U.Christmas) are their own special breed of wacko. I'd say it's a bloody good thing they aren't that welcome in any home, as I note deviant tendencies in all of them. These are the ones who couldn't get over the TF overhaul and PER, then couldn't get over the Charter so resorted to home hopping and "road trips" instead. Many of these creatures still hold Berg's original letters in highest esteem, and are absolute dahling suckers for conspiracy theories. Somebody put glue in their sandclock, and they got left behind somewhere in time. And frankly, I'm not interested in bringing them out here. Can't we just let them rot, wallowing in paranoia wherever they may be? (reply to this comment)

from Fish Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 15:21 (Agree/Disagree?) Its nice that you avidly follow some random geriatrics' blog. To each his own. However, don't you think posting articles about it is a bit much? If you're such a fan, just start sending him your tithe. "Are you robbing GOD?" Amen? (reply to this comment)

From Nick Wednesday, January 24, 2007, 06:51 (Agree/Disagree?) Whatever Fishy... She obviously is not "following" his blog! Blondie, just like myself, found it amusing to read over his insane ratings. Just like one would have a morbid interest to watch a car crash. One a side note. It's interesting to see how people like him are more comfortable in Japan where as a westerner their insanity is not as clear to the locals. If he was to live in the US or the UK he would probably be ridiculed at every turn. (reply to this comment)

From Blondie Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 16:27 (Agree/Disagree?) It's not like I'm on the lookout for anything he posts. It's actually the first time I look at his site & I got a kick out of it & thought someone else might as well. Sorry. You're right though...he may have the time to waste writing that shit, but I don't have to waste my time reading it. As for tithing!?!?!...I'm "helping the needy" by saving money for my children's College education. I figure that's more beneficial than giving money to something I no longer believe in. Peace!(reply to this comment)

from Nick Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - 14:21 (Agree/Disagree?) He is off his rocker! Did you see the one where he says that Bird Flue is just a hoax to control the masses? I wonder if this guy is actually respected by his fellow cult members.... (reply to this comment)
