Wimbledon station commuters flee train in 'Bible' panic
BBC News ^ | 10/2/17 | BBC

Posted on 10/02/2017 1:43:12 PM PDT by sparklite2

Passengers forced open the doors on a busy rush-hour train and climbed on to tracks after becoming "panicked" in the carriage.

It happened outside Wimbledon station in south-west London at 08:30 BST as a man apparently began reading lines aloud from the Bible.

Commuters became scared when the man also began saying "death is not the end", a passenger said.

Rail power lines were cut as passengers "self-evacuated"

Wouldn’t it be ironic if many of those who fled were Muslim?

Probably afraid they would self-immolate if they heard the word of God.

Guess they were “triggered” and they needed to find a safe space. Poor snowflakes.

This reminds me of a story—years ago I was in a carpool van with a driver who started talking about how he wanted to kill himself.

I said “you will wait until we are out of the vehicle, right?”.

There was a movie about this. It was called “The Exorcist.”

Probably ordinary Brits.
There is a truly amazing hatred of Christianity among Brits. Christianity is dying out there.

I want to die like my grandfather died, in his sleep.
Not like his screaming passengers.

Idiot brits - they brought in millions of savage beards who actually want to kill them, and they pee their pants at some wacko Christian reading from the Bible.

Sign of the ongoing elimination of Christianity from britain?

In that neighborhood, probably ordinary Brits of the Upper Class English Twit of the Year variety.

In fairness this is near, but on a different line, to the bomb was recently planted on an underground train.

That movie was scary as hell. It and “Night of the Living Dead” are the scariest I have seen.

What made the Exorcist so scary was the use of subliminals.

http://mentalfloss.com/article/87245/terrifying-subliminal-image-hidden-exorcist

When director William Friedkin’s The Exorcist opened in 1973, it quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful horror films of all time. Unlike the slasher movie antagonists of the 1980s, Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel was uninterested in winking at the audience. He was interested only in terrifying them, which he did to unprecedented effect.

Local newscasts reported viewers fainting, vomiting, and fleeing the theater, shaken by the film’s explicit depiction of a young girl named Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) possessed by demons and exhibiting blasphemous behavior. But it’s possible they may have been just as unsettled by what Friedkin decided to insert into the film surreptitiously—a frightening, subliminal image that was funneled straight into the audience’s subconscious.
