I wonder what he doesn't for money?
Interesting....
Back in the spring of 81 (I think it was), there was a young lady who basically came to campus and did the same thing. While not screaming, she spoke in a very loud voice and could be heard all around the fountain. She was there a couple of days. Most just stood there and thought it amusing. While I admired her gumption and dedication, I could not quite agree with her method of delivery. Last I saw of her, one of the guys from the BSU was trying to convince her to get her message across in a somewhat less confrontational way.
I like where he says frats are full of "drunken masturbators."
Kinda hard to argue with that.
God saved me. So I put the air guitar down and headed to the bleachers.
Great stuff.
Basic rule of life-The stupid will always be with us and there will always be people who do not realize who the stupid are. I have never seen this guy,but he sure appears to cover all of his bases.
That was third time in less than a week the guy showed up. They finally left after someone threw ice at them, which is unfortunate because rumors have it that the guy goes around college campuses and riles people up until they take a swing at him. Then he sues the school.
I think he is an important part of the collegiate experience at Louisiana Tech. In my 4 years at Tech and my 5+ years at LSU, it's been rare to see someone exercising their free speech and really being offensive. There was some sort of black power rally at LSU one day and that was the only event that wasn't in the "crazy preacher" category.
The best reaction I've ever seen was a geology professor in a rascal doing donuts around the preacher. He had a sign that read, "He Lives" above a picture of Hank Williams. The basket of his rascal had a stereo playing old-school Hank while he drove. I'm a Bible-believing, devout Christian, but I have to admit that was FANTASTIC. Even the preacher smiled when he saw it.
I will give him an A for brutal honesty, which I always see as a good trait. That is about where it ends. I was in a discipleship group with a recovering alcoholic, and he was very open about his experiences and the things he did. I could really appreciate his honesty, especially considering it helped loosen up the group to their own depravity. Preacher Jim's tactics seem like a ploy for something else, though.
