Gross Jesus Story Picture.jpg
THIS IS AFTER HE CONVERTED TO JEEZUS CHRAST. HE
LOOKED MUCH BETTER BEFORE.
Laura Nethery, proselytizing shithead.
This is the most heart touching story that I have
read in a long time.
Jim preaches at a church in the
slums of New York. He tells the following
story:
It was Easter Sunday, and I was so
tired at the end of the day that I just went to
the edge of the platform, pulled down my tie and
sat down and draped my feet over the edge. It was
a wonderful service with many people coming
forward. The counselors were talking with these
people.
As I was sitting there, I looked up
the middle aisle, and there in about the third row
was a man who looked about fifty, disheveled,
filthy. He looked up at me rather sheepishly, as
if saying, “Could I talk to you?” We have homeless
people coming in all the time, asking for money or
whatever. So, as I sat there, I said to myself,
though I am ashamed of it, “What a way to end a
Sunday. I’ve had such a good time, preaching and
ministering, and here’s a fellow probably wanting
some money for more wine.”
He walked up. When he got within
about five feet of me, I smelled a horrible smell
like I’d never smelled in my life. It was so awful
that when he got close, I would inhale by looking
away, and then I’d talk to him, and then look away
to inhale, because I couldn’t inhale facing him.
I asked him, “What’s your name?”
“David.” “How long have you been on the street?”
“Six years.” “How old are you?” “Thirty-two.” He
looked fifty—hair matted, front teeth missing,
wino, eyes slightly glazed. “Where did you sleep
last night, David?” “Abandoned truck.”
I keep in my back pocket a money
clip that also holds some credit cards. I fumbled
to pick one out thinking, I’ll give him some
money.
I won’t even get a volunteer. They
are all busy talking with others. Usually we don’t
give money to people; we take them to get
something to eat. I took the money out. David
pushed his finger in front of me. He said, “I
don’t want your money. I want this Jesus, the One
you were talking about, because I’m not going to
make it.
I’m going to die on the street.”
I completely forgot about David, and
I started to weep for myself. I was going to give
a couple of dollars to someone God had sent to me.
See how easy it is? I could make the excuse I was
tired. There is no excuse. I was not seeing him
the way God sees him. I was not feeling what God
feels.
But oh, did that change! David just
stood there. He didn’t know what was happening. I
pleaded with God, “God, forgive me! Forgive me!
Please forgive me. I am so sorry to represent You
this way. I’m so sorry. Here I am with my message
and my points, and You send somebody and I am not
ready for it. Oh, God!”
Something came over me. Suddenly I
started to weep deeper, and David began to weep.
He fell against my chest as I was sitting there.
He fell against my white shirt and tie, and I put
my arms around him, and there we wept on each
other. The smell of His person became a beautiful
aroma. Here is what I thought the Lord made real
to me: If you don’t love this smell, I can’t use
you, because this is why I called you where you
are. This is what you are about. You are about
this smell.
Christ changed David’s life. He
started memorizing portions of Scripture that were
incredible. We got him a place to live. We hired
him in the church to do maintenance, and we got
his teeth fixed.
He was a handsome man when he came
out of the hospital. They detoxed him in 6 days.
He spent that Thanksgiving at my
house. He also spent Christmas at my house. When
we were exchanging presents, he pulled out a
little thing, and he said, “This is for you.” It
was a little white hanky. It was the only thing he
could afford.
A year later, David got up and
talked about his conversion to Christ. The minute
he took the mic and began to speak, I said, “The
man is a preacher.” This past Easter, we ordained
David. He is an associate minister of a church
over in New Jersey.
And I was so close to saying, “Here,
take this; I’m a busy preacher.” We can get so
full of ourselves.
Lord, thank you for sending others
our way. May we never stop seeing them as
Your precious children no matter how busy or tired
we become. Amen
I LIKED HIM
BETTER AS THE BUM.

I REPLY:
The administrators here and in my other group are
very good and have helped me before. The
administration doesn't allow Jesus posts in this
group, so I'm surprised this hasn't been deleted
already. I've found in many stroke groups
evangelizing Christian posts are a serious and
ubiquitous problem.
People are supposed to be respectful and overly
religious Christian sermons like this are an insult
to every Jewish stroke victim in the group along
with every other non-Christian stroke victim.
This post isn't here to help anyone with a stroke.
It's here to evangelize. It has nothing to do with
the group.
I joined my stroke groups because I had a stroke and
had some questions; not to be preached to by
religious fanatics.
In my opinion, off topic posts that seek to take
advantage of the misfortunes of others in order to
proselytize are as unethical as they can possibly
get and my other stroke group doesn't allow this
selfishness and complete lack of respect and empathy
for others EITHER. It deletes this kind of thing as
well.
As I said, I don't think one can get more
unethical than this.
Common courtesy demands that Jewish stroke victims
and others never EVER be called upon to convert to
Christianity as a solution to their problems as
detailed in this creepy, vapid, and surely made-up
come-to-Jesus story. And what a gross picture!

JESUS FREAKS EVANGELIZE TO JEWISH
STROKE VICTIMS

JACKASS!

I joined the group
because I had a STROKE—not to be preached to by
religious fanatics. This kind of off-topic
evangelizing is beyond out of place here. Using
the misfortune of others to PROSELYTIZE is
revolting. One cannot GET more unethical than
this, and I've quit other stroke support groups
because the admins didn't take care of this kind
of disgusting thing. This is an insult to any
Jewish person or person of any other religious
perspective. The poster would likely have a fit if
I posted memes of Mohammad, etc. But as long as
some people can do unto others what they'd die not
to have done unto them, it's just fine and dandy.
HORRIBLE ethics. No ethics at all. SHOULD HAVE
BEEN DELETED BEFORE IT WAS POSTED.

Mark Schofield You make a good point. And the post
has NOTHING to do with the subject of the group.
It's just evangelizing. Allahu akbar!

Tom Cole:
GROUP RULE 1. This is a global group which means
members come from different time zones and a wide
and varied belief system. Please be respectful of
that.
GROUP RULE 3. We are not a religious group. Our
members have a wide and varied belief system, some
follow a specific religion, some don't. It's a
choice. Due to that fact religious posts will be
removed.
