Ah yes, our good old Puritan roots.
OMG, sex for anything but procreation is evil!!!
Mentioning "sex" to these dimwits is about like jumping into a pit of chimps and lighting a fart - they'll all start screaming and jumping around like it's the most terrifying thing in existence.
Ok, so maybe that's not the most perfect metaphor, but it's an amusing image, and it makes about as much sense as these backward morons with their ancient dogma.
Wikipedia attributes this to him:Actually Brother Jed didn't have any hangups about sex within the confines of heterosexual marriage. He didn't care if people did it swinging from the chandeliers as long as they were man and wife.
Wikipedia attributes this to him:
"A masturbator today is a homosexual tomorrow."
I guess there's gotta be a lllllllllllLLLllllllooot of manly lovin' 'round these forums.
And it also says, "His assistants carry signs declaring that feminists, liberals and those who listen to rock and roll are destined for Hell, along with homosexuals, fornicators and masturbators. "
Rock and roll sends you to Hell. I think the 50's forgot this guy.
He too falls into the fart-ignition-chimp-pen sector.
And I certainly hope he's only had sex five times, and no more.Well yeah. His hang up is with any sex outside of heterosexual marriage. I didn't say he wasn't a nutjob, just that he wasn't particularly anti-sex. Which is good considering the number of children he's fathered.
It's ok, Jesus forgives you.<dons flame suit>
Brother Jed is the purest Christian I have ever met, the closest modern equivalent of the early Christians. If you reflect on the Acts of the Apostles and the various Letters you'll realize that the earliest followers of Christ were every bit as fucking annoying as Brother Jed, Sister Cindy, Sister Pat, and the rest of the gang.

I think there's one of those douchbags who was deliberately instigating students. After someone would strike out & hit him or throw something at him, he sued the colleges & ended up settling out of court over and over and over. IIRC he always had his daughter with him.
At least once a semester this guy named Brother Micah comes to my campus and "preaches" to everyone. Theres always a crowd, not necessarily because we care about what he is talking about but we need something to pass the time between classes. I think he goes around to other campuses around Florida and does the same shit.
