They're back! (CTF return to wage war on Canberra)

The event is still on
At the bottom is this:
For those who are unable to join us on Mt. Ainslie in Canberra this Saturday 14th August, there will be a special prayer meeting for the federal election at the CTFM base in Melbourne (Hallam)
Jason Golden

I love this stuff, Ive been waiting, hoping that Danny boy would
return, oh the fun!

Seriously though, has anyone been able to check and verify that the CTFM are actualy
coming, perhaps the reason that the post was removed from their website is that they
dont want to go there girlfriend!

Are they coming or are they not, that is the question?

I find it amazing that someone who with as verifiably shonky qualifications as Danny keeps singing about the form letter from the Australia Day Council in the year they allowed Australian of the Year nominations to be sourced online.

If you want your own form letter so you can be just as authentic as Danny (and drop “Australian of the Year nominee” in your resume every time you feel like it) here is the 2010 form.

If you want to be a Pastor like Danny, bear in mind that he used to hold a certificate of ministry with the Assembly of God, but they disowned and discertified him. He then went and set up his own church.

If you want to be a Minister in Danny’s church, it only costs $100 per year.

If you want your own shonky Doctorate just like Dr Danny’s, bear in mind:.
His was an honorary doctorate, bestowed by Bishop Zemekio Jackson, who is President of Saint Thomas Christian College, and who prettymuch travels the country giving away freebie doctorates.

Saint Thomas Christian College (Jacksonville, Florida) is the bogus knockoff of Saint Thomas Catholic University, (Miami, Florida) .
If you want to verify Saint Thomas Christian College’s claim that they’re actually accredited, good luck.
Their accrediting body (Southeastern Association of Christian Schools and Colleges) is a bogus verison of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and so no longer publishes their physical address, only operating a toll-free phone number which could be anywhere in the 50 states.

Although they claim Saint Thomas Christian College has authorization to grant degrees by the Florida State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities under section 246.083 (1), Florida Statutes. …

1) The Florida State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities does not exist anymore, it became the Commission for Independent Education (CIE).
CIE list their accredited educational facilities in Jacksonville are listed here, (pick Duval County)

2) Their accreditation fell under Florida Statute 246.083.
Florida Statute 246.083 was repealed more than a decade ago.

Institutions operating pursuant to the provisions of s. 246.083, Florida
Statutes, may continue to offer programs and award degrees, in
accordance with the provisions of s. 246.083, Florida Statutes, to students
enrolled in such programs on or before June 30, 1997. However, no new
student may be enrolled pursuant to the provisions of s. 246.083, Florida
Statutes, after June 30, 1997.
…
[The above] Became a law without the Governor’s approval May 30, 1997.

If you want to own your own degree mill (“Extension Campus” in Christian College speak…) in your backyard, start talking to these people.

(Should any of you question Danny as to why he keeps making claims about his prestige, please get it on video…)

I got halfway through the article “Soccer is a leading cause of homosexuality” and couldn’t believe it was serious.

of course it is satirical. everyone knows that homosexuality is a leading cause of soccer. sheesh…

must admit, i wondered for a split second too, but the article on the poor woman cooking body parts was just (only just, mind) too far fetched…

Far fetched? Anecdotally it happens all the time here. Ask any full on christian and they will tell you that it happened to a friend of a friend. And since I am without sin, I will be handing out stones to cast at unbelievers on the day, if you want I will get you stoned.

As for soccer causing gay tendencies, thats true (ball handling skills and all that). Thank God and Jesus that we now have this site!

Now when I saw Avatar, I can honestly say that Satan was not in my pants that night.

I used to visit the Landover Baptist site all the time. Thanks for the reminder!

Is this site satirical or is it fair dinkum? I got halfway through the article “Soccer is a leading cause of homosexuality” and couldn’t believe it was serious. Ordinarily you would dismiss this sort of thing as satire, but knowing the activities of wacko religious outfits like Pastor Danny’s you can never be too sure.

God must love stupid people, she made so many of them. Yes Pastor Danny, I’m talking about you.

The counter-protest is just offering some biblical reinforcement – “judge not, lest ye be judged”.

A rat ride is on!

Religious interference or reverence in Government is all pleasant and proper when its your own religion, but deeply offensive when its not.
So in the spirit of treating everyone with equality and the same dignity, we can either commit Government resources to observance of -every- religion (and try to deal with it when they contradict, offending somebody), or leave religion at the door and get on with the business of governing.

So Danny wants to overrule Section 115 of the Australian Constitution?
On top of that, grant primacy for Christianity beyond the fairly unique acceptance that most of Western culture already gives it?

2nd time in a row I’m out of town, Goddamn it.

Interesting request & responses. Last time, weren’t the Christians being sort of aggravating about some “goat’s blood” on a concrete block? That probably warranted some kind of action in response. They are, however, perfectly free to pray on Mt Ainslie if that’s their mojo, and it’s totally reactionary of people to attempt to prevent them. Sorry, but they are also free to voice an opinion about gay rights. As an atheist, obviousy I’m not going to bother to counter their efforts to use God to unseat Gillard: going and confronting these people – not objectively nutters, even though I’d like to label them such – is obviously pointless. Folks – these are powerless people! Ignore them! If you want to counter nitwits, go buttonhole some politicians. Not to mention: noise and disturbance on Mt Ainslie is something the wildlife can do without.

Blessed are the Cheesemakers..

I could arrange for my band “Hell Mary” to play an acoustic mountain top set? 😀

Can I suggest a heavy mental version of ‘Witchcraft’ by Coleman-Leigh.

Bring a generator so you can use amps. Pass around a hat to collect enough cash to cover your costs.

Surely someone here has a generator? Lets make a day out of it.

I’ll bring the underpants!

That’s a very pagan thing to do…

Quite a few of things they do are dangerously close to witchcraft.

Annual Canberra Hospital Psychiatric Ward field trip? 🙂

This is more true than you know. When you meet and talk to CTF members, it’s quite clear many of them are suffering from a mental illness (no doubt undiagnosed).

Listening to their stories about satantic rituals they have witnessed, or the visions god has given them you can’t help comparing it to the delusions of someone suffering schizophrenia.

I remember this one CTF guy, his eyes had this scary helter-skelter quality that no healty human should have.

Catch The Fire Ministries is calling upon every Christian across Australia and the Nations to please pray urgently for our Federal Election to be held on 21st August 2010.

They prayed for it, and LO! the election was held on 21 st August just as they asked!!!!

Take that heathens!!!

God these people are a silly bunch ,how dare they do this on my birthday.
Surely they should be busy buying me presents!

[i]”Please join together with us and the [b]wider Body of Christ on a spiritual warfare assignment of 3 days of fasting & prayer[/b] from Thursday 19th to Saturday 21st August.”[/i]

I’ll be there on day 3 with a dozen pizza’s trying to make my body as wide as possible. And maybe some KFC in case they are looking to sacrifice something \m/

I wonder if the Scientologists will be making any celebrity appearances?

I’m just not sure why, given that ‘destiny’ is a predetermined course of events, one would have to pray for it when its just going to happen anyway.

I do not ask because I want to know myself, I ask so that others may ask themselves.

Hopefully they can make this an annual event!

These people are freaky. They ran around salting the earth to protect it or something last time. They were casting spells and crap.

Come out and enjoy the show, before Pastor Danny goes all Jonestown on us.

Bring a vuvuzela.

How is underpants man going to cope in the middle of Winter?

Not funny.

This is just an excuse for the cynical, atheist belief-bereft of the nation’s capital to pour scorn and derision on some devout, well meaning but perhaps a little misguided individuals…

Of course I’l be there!!

Annual Canberra Hospital Psychiatric Ward field trip? 🙂

HAIL SATAN!!!

I’ll go if there’s foam!

Hmm, scheduled the same day as marriage equality marches happening across the country. Coincidence? I suspect not.

I’m gonna rock out with my flock out! My mates and I had a ball last time and we are so there this time. Might even wear my priest costume. I love get togethers like this.

Hmmm, might have to sound out the other NERF warriors, see if they are up for some foam basedpeacekeeping.

Maybe they’re hoping to find some tablets or perhaps they expect a biblical flood to wash the infidels away. Or just maybe they just had so much fun last time they want to do it again…

The christian lobby must be mortified by the prospect of an agnostic female PM especially after all the trouble they went to in hosting 2 hours of web tv with Abbott and Rudd a short time ago. Surely God should have warned them or perhaps God was feeling that the arrogant self importance demonstrated by the organisers deserved suitable retribution.

It’s bound to be a fun afternoon, should be the highlight of weekend! Bring a virgin or two and let’s celebrate in style 😉

“prophetic destiny”? What prophesy? By which prophet?

1) I pray for politicians such as Julia Gillard to continue honouring God by not claiming to serve God, and for politicians bearing false witness to repent their sins
2) I pray that the Christians and Muslims and people of other faiths will serve the common wealth and common good of the country, not their own religion’s special needs
3) I pray for politicians bearing false witness to any faith to be removed from Government
4) I pray for deception to be exposed, and for deceivers to be punished
5) I pray for extremist religious groups to report the truth
6) I pray for all Australians to vote for the politicians that will promote the policies that the voters support
7) I pray for the protection of Australia’s multicultural heritage, with tolerance for all beliefs and lifestyles, with no religious group seeking to impose their religion as a form of Government
8 ) I pray that there will be no vote fraud. I seek to keep religious extremists and Liberal Party goons away from the ballot boxes.
9) I pray that those who feel they are the unbiased light of righteousness to admit their delusion and seek professional psychiatric help
10) I pray for all voters to be lead by conscience, reason and their deity of choice, not by the false witness of extremist religious groups
