CONAN O'BRIEN DERIDES JESUS

TELEVISION - NBC | 8-29-92 | Hamilton2

[Hamilton2]

I was just surfing the television when my eye caught someone holding a statue of Jesus with children. I thought this might be interesting so I continued watching and then realized this was Conan O'Briens show on NBC (a station I try NEVER TO watch)

[Hamilton2]

As Conan O'Brien brought out another statue of Jesus on skis with children, he made some a negative comment about why wouldn't Jesus have more modern skis to wear. Thinking this was the stupidest bit I had witnessed on television in a LOOOOOOONG time I was getting ready to change the channel but realized O'Brien wasn't done.

He then paraded some "statues" he had made. The first one was of Jesus at a BLACKJACK TABLE. All I could think about was the laughing of the guards in the face of the Jesus before he was crucified. Is there no other material out there for these "comics" that they have to go after Our Lord Jesus? I am OUTRAGED and APPALLED. I am so disgusted I want to throw up.

I don't normally watch this show but I am still going to write to NBC to indicate my displeasure.

Who was saying what? All I could think about was the laughing of the guards in the face of the Jesus before he was crucified

please you are not to clear here, clam down and tell us again!

I didn't see the program, but O'Brien was doing a parody of these So-Called Inspirational Statues of Jesus playing basketball (hogging the ball), football (getting tackled!), hockey (fighting for the puck), practicing ballet, tae-kwan-do, etc. He'd shown photos of the statues from a catalog some weeks ago, and said he was going to order "Tae Kwan Do Jesus" to show on the air.

Frankly, I think these things are awful, and deserve any ridicule aimed at them. That must be what happened today.

[restornu]

I agree with you they are making money and demeaning the Lord at the same time.

It is sad but so many today have not a clue.

I POST THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO TO THE POINT!

15 Therefore I command you to repent—repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore—how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.

16 For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;

17 But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;

18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink—

19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.

20 Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit.

21 And I command you that you preach naught but repentance, and show not these things unto the world until it is wisdom in me.

22 For they cannot bear meat now, but milk they must receive; wherefore, they must not know these things, lest they perish.

23 Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.

24 I am Jesus Christ; I came by the will of the Father, and I do his will.

Relax. It all started here:

Jesus likes sports! (As seen on Conan O'Brian)

[Wrigley]

What book is that from rest?

[restornu]

What book is that from rest?

Why do you want to know?

[restornu]

Relax. It all started here:

It might have all started there what about this statement Cagey?

All I could think about was the laughing of the guards in the face of the Jesus before he was crucified.

[sinkspur]

Those are simply the funniest damn things I've ever seen!

They INVITE parody, much like the statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague, another very strange depiction of the Baby Jesus.

[sinkspur]

All I could think about was the laughing of the guards in the face of the Jesus before he was crucified.

The people who make those goofy statues are, in their own way, mocking Jesus with the price tag of $19.95.

[Cagey]

All I could think about was the laughing of the guards in the face of the Jesus before he was crucified.

What about this statement? I know there were guards present at the crucifixion of Jesus who gambled and laughed and gave Him sour wine to drink. But, this TV show would hardly remind me of the real Jesus.

O'Brien is laughing at the people who sell these silly articles and sadly, at the people who buy them.

Sources are important rest.

[CubicleGuy]

Sources are important rest.

Then I suppose I can count on you to get CCWoody to tell us where he gets the 28,000+ manuscript number.

[Wrigley]

rest posted those verses. From where those verses come from is important.

CC posted the source where he got the 28000+ manuscripts from.

I guess restornu and yourself are embarassed identify what you post as scripture. Embarrased by the D&C?

[nate4one]

How were those statues demeaning?
Would our Lord play a sport with a kid if He was here in the physical today?
Or is that below Him?
What type of pompus image do YOU have of Christ?

Because in my opinion, He came to give freedom and He loved children. And I bet He would play a round of catch with anyone who asked.
Also, I believe these are more for depicting Him as being a lover and protector of kids. And that we are to be like children.

I would love to play a game of ball with Jesus.

Would you rather sit around in your 3 piece and sing "How Great Thou Art" if you were with Him?

BTW - I do find O'Brien's jokes stupid and demeaning but not the legite statues on the link.

[CubicleGuy]

You guess wrong.

Again.

[Wrigley]

Again?

When was the first time?

[restornu]

ARE YOU STALKING ME WRIGLEY?

CAN'T I EXPRESS MY FEELING WITHOUT AN OK FROM YOU WRIGLEY?

Did I promote anything?

I just posted Words that expressed my feelings!

[CCWoody]

CC posted the source where he got the 28000+ manuscripts from.


Well, to be perfectly accurate, the source I quoted and my source at home and all other references I checked have the number at 24,000+. I suppose that some of these Mormons might feel that they have scored some victory in that, but really, with the 24,000+ MSS they have no leg to stand on except that false gospel by that anti-christ.
