They’ve always had a section in my variously more academic reports, but gather a larger notice in my nightly narrative. Especially now that I discovered the group who showed up to protest them.<BR/><BR/>It’s interesting to see so many perspectives, and I’m really amazed at how attractive the Internet is.<BR/><BR/>I hope thy stay is entertaining at least.Kyt Dotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984694424275454635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17596579.post-28646718887824833542008-09-17T11:52:00.000-07:002008-09-17T11:52:00.000-07:00I am an envangelical Christian who believes in wha...I am an envangelical Christian who believes in what is known as "street witnessing" ...<BR/><BR/>however, I do think the methods often used by many of them are counter productive and violate the normal rules of Christian etiquetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17596579.post-24083860737063933562008-08-12T16:03:00.000-07:002008-08-12T16:03:00.000-07:00Hi Kyt,I don't find anything to be inflammatory in...Hi Kyt,<BR/><BR/>I don't find anything to be inflammatory in what the street preachers say. But then again, I'm a great proponent of the truth. On the other hand, our atheistic counterparts spew quite a few remarks that many would perceive to be incendiary as well as condescending. Most are respectful though.<BR/>I'm not telling who I am! !

The paragraph thou’ve zeroed in on is in reference to the speeches delivered over the loudspeakers contrasted with individual affect. The speakers may be sincere but often the speeches are not. My interest in Mill Ave is the people—after all an anthropological or even personal study doesn’t go very far without people—and flawed memes repeated every few visits, some of which are deliberately inflammatory, aren’t very respectful of the audience.<BR/><BR/>There is a definite dichotomy between the speech giving/presentation phase and the group-with-group phase of the night.<BR/><BR/>Which street preacher wouldst thou be?Kyt Dotsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984694424275454635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17596579.post-91248723834601159632008-08-08T11:02:00.000-07:002008-08-08T11:02:00.000-07:00Kyt!!!!I am one of the street preachers.

The thing that bugged me in this particular blog is that you say we're sanctimonious. I can only speak for myself and some of my friends on Mill, but we try to live up to the words we speak. Words are worthless without actions to back them up. I have a sincere love and concern for the people I talk to on Mill..my only agenda is introduce them to the freedom and love provided by Jesus Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17596579.post-38182938561673635042008-07-07T20:00:00.001-07:002008-07-07T20:00:00.001-07:00i responded to your comments on my blog over at ba...i responded to your comments on my blog over at backpacktruth.com!M!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17091731667326622965noreply@blogger.com
