Jesus Camp
 
Has anyone seen this? I've been watching videos of it on YouTube and it's... well, horrifying. I want to see the whole movie but I doubt my local video store would carry it, if it's even out on DVD yet.

Here's a clip:

I escaped after the third week and walked back to california.

I saw the whole thing on Google Video (it's been removed now but you can get a torrent here). It was really sad to see some pretty smart, articulate sounding children being completely brainwashed.
Even sadder is how the majority of people over there in the States seem to want to encourage these camps and similar activities.

You are misinformed.

liquidstatik Feb 26th, 2007 06:38 PM

a very very small percentage of people, including christians, in the US endorse what they do. ;o

MetalMilitia Feb 26th, 2007 06:45 PM

Bollocks, you guys love this shit.

liquidstatik Feb 26th, 2007 06:59 PM

the movie is 99% downloaded. :o

it seems horribly upsetting, though

I saw a little thing about it a few months ago and I just know i couldn't watch it. Luckily it pissed off so many people that the place closed, but there are always more.

darkvare Feb 27th, 2007 11:12 AM

you know i clicked this by error maybe jesus wanted me to see it :lol

Esuohlim Feb 27th, 2007 01:21 PM

Metalmilitia do you know anything about the U.S. at all

Emu Feb 27th, 2007 01:38 PM

In his defense it is a small minority but they are very loud. It's no wonder it looks that way from the UK. ;o

Grislygus Feb 27th, 2007 02:23 PM

Which is why he knows more about what Americans like than the people who actually live in the country. Just like I know what all the limies like, 'cause I watched Formula 51 a bunch of times.

MetalMilitia Feb 27th, 2007 02:41 PM

I never claimed to know more about the US than people who live there. It's just that from my perspective all I ever hear about is how much you guys love JC. Especially in light of the recent athiest movement (or rather the church's reaction to it) and the ever bluring lines between church and state.

It's a huge, sweeping generalisation, I know.

Grislygus Feb 27th, 2007 03:43 PM

Hell, not enough people love Jebus! Don'tcha know thar's a war on Christmas?

GADZOOKS Feb 28th, 2007 05:21 AM

Metal Militia, did you know that all Americans crave Hamburgers and drive on the wrong side of the road? They are fucking daff I tell you.

MetalMilitia Feb 28th, 2007 07:21 AM

Yeah, GADZOOKS.

cestkathryn Feb 28th, 2007 03:21 PM

I really liked this movie. Yes, the people portrayed are just a small percentage of evangelicals, but it is so scary to see the children in the church camp. I felt really uncomfortable watching them crying and holding their hands up to God. These kids are at a time in their life when they are trying to learn about being accepted, and their parents are just teaching them intolerence of those who do not believe in God, or who aren't of their faith. The camp is closed temporarily, because of the negativity, but the woman who runs it says it will be open in the future.

Seven Force Feb 28th, 2007 03:44 PM

It's a sweeping generalization, yes, but he is pretty much right on the fact that a lot of people over here DO love or otherwise believe in the JC. Some really love him.

And they vote. :(

It definitely seems to me that church and state aren't as separate as they should be, and often times it shows.

Esuohlim Feb 28th, 2007 03:58 PM

That's because you live in Florida :rolleyes

Emu Feb 28th, 2007 08:02 PM

I'm watching it and it's making me physically ill. I feel threatened. :(

cestkathryn Feb 28th, 2007 08:10 PM

i want to rip that kid's rattail off of his head.
