So this guy shows up on campus today to warn of the dangers of beer, bestiality in fraternities, and premarital hand holding:

His wife had one of those delightful sandwich boards listing all the groups going to hell, and I found "beer lovers" made the list. Upon informing them that I'm a homebrewer, I was told that a special place in hell awaits me, and that I should be stoned. I presume they meant the kind of stoning that involves rocks.

I need spiritual advice. Why does god hate barley? And why are grapes alright?
 
I thought you said "a special recipe awaits you in hell" I was halfway packed.:(

What's this moron's name? We need a JED Hell's FURY Ale recipe......STAT!!!!
 
I've got a funny picture of his wife waving a condom around while wearing her sandwich board.

He goes by "Brother Jed" and he takes his Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God routine all over the place. He hits up my school at maybe once a year. Hmm... some good ideas are coming to mind:

ABOMINATOR
5 lb Munich
5 lb Vienna
1 lb Rye, infected with ergot
0.25 lb Unmalted barley, roasted over a lake of molten brimstone
1 oz (Holy) Warrior, 60 min

Single infusion mash at 153F. Pitch some WLP666 and don't bother with temperature controls, because there ain't gonna be any where you're headed after you drink this.
 
Man, I didn't realize brother Jed was still around. I used to see him 15 years ago. He'd stop by the campus every year to preach his unique message. I never was quite sure how to take Brother Jed. It often seemed he was purposefully presenting an extreme message so that people would react against him. It was always interesting to see Christians in the crowd speaking out against what he was pushing. It seemed to please him to no end to see the crowd siding with that other individual and, in the end, meeting him halfway. He had a very odd approach!

Oh my god he's still around???? He came to my college in Detroit 27 years ago. I ended up in a round about way, becoming student senate president because I stood up to him.

Jesus, he doesn't look a day older than when he came to our school. And is probably wearing the same vest.

I bet he sold his soul to the devil to not age or something.
 
Did he also make a big deal out of the fact the "The doobie brothers weren't really brothers and 'doobie' is slang for marjuana?" That is the one statement of his that has stuck with me for over a quarter of a century.

And people say that education is behind in America.
 
When are the religious people going to stop persecuting everyone not like them?

That is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I remember from him. I thought his presentation was hillarious. He'd make a statement like, "When I was in college I was in this fraternity and in that fraternity there was FORNICATION," and he'd have this smile on his face, almost like he was going to start laughing, like he knew that he was laying it on pretty thick. Look at this, here I am starting to get a little nostalgic for ol' Brother Jed! :D

He was more concerned about the rampant fornication that apparently motivates people to go to college these days. Pure and chaste Brother Jed, OTOH, didn't so much as kiss his wife before they got married.

Oh yeah....FORNICATION is big booming voice over and over.

And I remember he spoke for like 6 hours straight. I went inside for a 3 hour film class and when I came back out he was still going at it.

I remember him saying something mean about a girl I knew in the crowd, calling he a whore or something because of some silly thing she was wearing, and that's when I lost it and started challenging him.

That's how I ended up getting invited to a vacant seat on student senate and then a 6 months late getting elected president. Turns out I was standing next to a student rep who like what I had to say and recruited me.
 
From his website it looks like I should be seeing him around the end of November or the Beginning of December. I wonder how the usual crazy evangelist is going to react. Maybe they will take separate sides of the plaza.

And now he is full of regret and jealousy and doesn't want anyone else to have what he was too goofy to not go and get for himself.

That's my interpretation, anyway....

Yeah, cries of "whore," "whoremonger," "fornicator" and "kinky sex" draw quite a crowd.

Yeah, the man has some incredible staying power for one who does not believe in masturbation.

Get a can of air and squirt it at your "R" key. ;)

He's got a website now???? I'm surprised since the web is full of pedaphiles and porn....(and doobie brother's music) ;)

Maybe they will duel over turf. Sporks at 10 paces.

Oh yeah, porn was another sore subject with him. He asked me if I looked at porn today. I said, "I didn't look at any, but I made some".
 
Am I the only one that gets offended by people like him. Freedom of speech is one thing but to condemn people to Hell is an extreme.

Time and time throughout history people such as him have committed atrocities that are worthy of a seat in hell.

I could go on and on, but I'd prefer not to offend anyone on here.
 
This is a great essay on him, and the manipulation he plays on the audience.

I didn;t know this,
He has become an American legend. A worldwide computer network monitors his progress. He has spawned a flock of fans who, in comparison to the fanatical followers of the Grateful Dead, call themselves “Jed-Heads.”

Good one!! Did he hear it? I would have loved to see his reaction.

It's really not worth the effort to get worked up by him and his ilk. Scorn and derision and, like many of us our doing now, finding the humor in the absurdity that heis, is much better for the blood pressure.

Besides that kind of stuff belongs in the debate forum, not here where we are trying to keep it light.

There was a soldier passing by in uniform and Jed's wife said something to the effect of, "I hope you get good with the lord before you go off to die". He just laughed at her and moved on. In the end, that's all you can do with these sorts of lunatics. Point, laugh, and carry on.
