Jews for Jesus: Stop Riding the Fence!

The fake “Messianic” group, Jews for Jesus, is a complete disgrace to those who are truly seeking the Jewish/Hebraic roots of Christianity. In their latest little newsletter, they think it’s cute to merge Hanukkah and Christmas together. See for yourself:

—-> This year Hanukkah begins on December 21, with Christmas falling pretty much in the middle of the holiday! Find out more about Hanukkah as well as why some Jewish people feel that December presents a dilemma; download Christmas poems from a Messianic Jewish perspective and enjoy some downloadable seasonal artwork in PDF format that combine Christmas and Hanukkah—you might even use them to create your own holiday cards for Jewish/Gentile couples! <—–

I have nothing wrong with people wanting to celebrate Christmas or any other pagan holiday. Just don’t say it’s Biblical or associate it with the Messiah.

And, it’s a separate – somewhat – subject, but that 8-days-of-oil thing is a complete rabbinical fabrication. It was made up. In other words, it’s not true.

Jews for Jesus is nothing more than Zola Levitt “Ministries” personified. On the surface they look like a Messianic group, but subversively, they are tricking people into thinking that it’s okay to eat pork (Zola’s people said it was okay; they even served unclean stuff at their events; Baruch HaShem in Dallas doesn’t “take issue” with Gentiles eating pork), that it’s okay to worship on Sunday (after the Jews are tricked into believing the Gentile Jesus, they start saying “converting” them into the Catholic-Lite way…)

It’s all misleading, and at first when hearing about Jews for Jesus, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now with their little newsletter, my concerns have been eased, because I now have the proof.

Slow Roosevelt Getting Back Together

Pete Thomas from Slow Roosevelt posted a bulletin on MySpace (from the Slow Roosevelt profile) under the title “It’s coming…”

Slow Roosevelt is getting back together for at least one 2009 show, and I hope it’s before I move off to New Hampshire. Pete inspired me to pick up a bullhorn to try to start my own band. Another Pete from Chicago inspired me to want to learn how to sing with that bullhorn.

For those who don’t know Slow Roosevelt’s claim to fame, watch the video:

If anyone has any information on show dates and locations, let me know.

Messianic Revolutionary?

Some have asked what I’m talking about when I say I’m a “Messianic Revolutionary.”

I’ll explain that and more on Friday night for a special RadioMessiah.com show.

I’ll be keeping my writing skills up to date with a little gig over at GraniteGrok.com, a political blog.

Re: House in New Hampshire – Done!

Signed an agreement yesterday with my new roommates in Plymouth, so now I’ve gotta place to stay. This will be fun.

Interdisciplinary Studies?

I keep thumbing through my Plymouth State course catalog and I believe the interdisciplinary studies major is something I should pursue. If the school’s advisers approve, this IS degree would allow for some major flexibility. I can do criminal justice, throw in some business courses, add some communications/speech options…I can thoroughly enjoy this if I can get the school to let me do it.

It won’t pigeon-hole me into one field of study that I may or may not use (honestly, I just threw out criminal justice because it sounded like that’d be a good preparation for law school.)

JewHampshire.com

I bought JewHampshire.com specifically for the purpose of creating a hub for Messianic believers and/or Sabbath-keepers and/or Hebraic Roots Christians to gather information, share information, network, etc.

Obviously, the URL is being forwarded to my blog, but I’m open to ideas of how we can make a sizable effort to develop this site. Contact me if you’re interested: joey@jewhampshire.com.

Column: ECP Dec. 4, 2008

Here is the column I have submitted for publication in the Dec. 4, 2008 issue:

New Hampshire

I’m getting serious about school this time, and a future goal that I believe is more realistic than dabbling** in electoral politics: becoming a lawyer.

And to do that, I’m going to have to separate myself from the distractions and disruptions that are prevalent in Ellis County and the Dallas area. I’m heading to New Hampshire to focus on my education, but I don’t intend to live there forever. I want to come back eventually, but after 27 years in the Lone Star State, it’s time to gain some cultural experiences in the Free State.

I’m still looking for an apartment or house or a room to rent, but I’m confident this will not be a problem.

The drive up there I’m really looking forward to. I drove to Washington, D.C. in 2003, so I know at least half the trip.

**I’m not done with this either, but with a legal background and education, I believe I can offer 200 times more than what I’ve done as a journalist/blogger
