Yes, but your goldfish are the dry, crunchy type, not the cold, wet, chewy kind........

"Fear Factor ministry?" That's a t.v show, not something to base a ministry on.
To: Inge_CAV
Swallowing live goldfish was the rage in the 70's amongst college students who were too selfconscoius to streak.
That is a college prank dating back a long time ago. In MASH Colonel Potter talks about swallowing gold fish in college.

Can we simplify all of this and just ban PETA??
To: Inge_CAV
What, did PETA run out of things to do or something?! They never cease to amaze me.

The last age of the church is the wordly church. How will we identify this worldly church? Maybe, when they start using the worldly to attract the worldly such as a Fear Factor Ministry. I agree with PETA, not on animal cruelty charges but human stupidity and spiritual ignorance. No man cometh to the Father unless the Spirit draweth him.

These people are verrrrry bored. Reminds me of a Psych 101 class at my high school in which the teacher had the kids eating crickets, worms, ants etc.
