Trying to one up NOM it seems.

1. Interesting.

First off, I use the term jamming, I had not heard it defined as they said it. For me it means spiritual silencing of forces of anger or hate trying to come through a person. But it can be darkside if used to jam just to silence thought, since when bad thought is exposed it can lead to people seeing the wrong of it. And it is also a free will issue. So I believe jamming should only be used against anger, hate, and the other darkside voices.

As far as the rest of the film, tollarance and love, even loving your enemy, I think is the best approach. They do comment on trying to help the person not give into sin. I would say just show all the love you can while trying to avoid judgement, and that will achieve the good ends.

Although I know lots of people believe lots of different things, I agree people should not be silent, when they speak of kindness and love.

My questions would be, is teaching people not to bully or be mean to gays, the same as advocating it? And can someone show love to gays without judgement, even if it is a sin to them to be gay?

2. The problem is, they aren't about trying to help the person not commit sin...

And what this group espouses isn't any kind of love. By the way, regardless of the calm tones of the narrator, isn't it telling that they're hopeful that their followers will assist in helping others "not commit sin"? In this case, that "sin" just happens to be the predisposed trait of the group they hope to help.

I view this is a propaganda piece, and not very well done at that. This film is almost cartoonish. I almost thought it was a parody until I went to their You Tube channel and verified it to be them.

NOM's commercial was laughable, but put head to head, this one wins hands down.
