How hard is it to mind your own business?
Unfortunately verbal assault is not a crime, but I am a big fat loudmouth and would just have to shout down this asshole by reading from the book of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or some American Atheist beliefs.
If that failed, I would start to goad this asshole on until I thought that guitar was being used in a threatening fashion, now you’ve got a lawsuit on your hand for both the airline and this idiot.
/loudly inserts earplugs that I always carry.
Once, on a 19-hour flight from Chicago to Johannesburg, a woman with a small child sat down in the seat next to me, but across the aisle to the right. Her baby began shrieking from the moment she sat down. I felt horrible for her, knowing how stressful that can be. And even though I was empathetic, the shrieking was ear-piercingly horrible. I turned to the young 20-something couple on my left, in my row, and gave a sort of “how ya doing?” greeting. The guy responded by saying “we’re on a missionary trip to South Africa! Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?” And then tried to begin to proselytize.
I’d take shrieking baby, any day, every day. At least the child is innocent.
It all worked out. After the baby shrieked for a while, and with mom in tears and on the verge of losing her mind, I offered to hold the baby to give mom a break. Baby girl quieted almost immediately, which also made me feel horrible, for different reasons. Mom was going to visit her husband, and we got along great. It gave me a great excuse to ignore the Jesus-folk in a non-rude way.
I’m assuming that’s the case with both the videos (but especially the guy with the guitar). Which is worse because then a whole group of people decided to selfishly pull everyone else into their shit (but it makes the proselytizing extra ridiculous - “preaching to the choir” indeed).
I mean, I don’t care if you’re talking about Jesus or Amway or the new Marvel movie - don’t be bugging a captive audience with your bullshit.
Why the hell do blood drinking, zombie worshiping, organized pedophilia cults get to sing songs loudly on an airplane? Go fuck yourself.
And a Muslim shows up in some sort of traditional garb on a plane, maybe reciting a prayer for themselves prior to take off, and white people have a fucking meltdown.
Sometimes I hate this stupid country.
Nope, it’s just some asshole who thinks his rights are more important than the rest of us.
Pretty hard for people who believe they are in an existential struggle for the world.
Also:
You know that shit was on Southwest.
Why do you say that? Southwest was a half way decent airline when I flew it.
Whatever happened to the division between Church and Flight?
It probably wasn’t Southwest. If it was Southwest it would have been the cabin crew. 
But seriously, folks. Southwest has always seemed a bit like the Chick-fil-A of airlines to me. Not obviously conservative, but there’s some weird subtext. It’s probably just that they’re from the Bible Belt and I associate them with home, but I always feel like I can’t get a decent beer on Southwest. Pretty sure that correlates with conservatism. And just like Yeugling, I’m still going to throw money at them every chance I get.
Thank you. As an on-again, off-again practicing Catholic, this. I am not all bothered by folks like the JW’s who show up at my house – I figure they’re doing me what they think is a favor – I’m firm, polite, and they move along. But this? It’s performative and not at all effective.
The guy who did this claims…
“On this flight, we had our team, and our team, we went up to the airhost and shared with them what we’ve been doing in Ukraine,” said Jensz, “and we asked them if it’s ok if we could sing a song on the plane. The airhost asked the pilot, they both agreed, and the airhost then got on the intercom and said to the passengers that we have some people that would like to sing a song. Everyone clapped.”
The original with Linda Blair and the spoof.
Unfortunately I suspect the only people who would get in trouble would be folks like myself shouting Hail Satan or trying to protest their annoying ass behavior in any other way =(
Or just sitting there doing maths
Oh no. I arrived too late and I have tô wait 10 hours tô delete It.
Well, we all know that maths are bigoted against white Christians…they do use ARABIC NUMERALS!!!
I’ve had JW’s hand write me letters and mail them to me all very personal like but they use a PO box to hide their home address.
Lastly somehow they go my phone number and decided to call me. I don’t answer the phone unless I’m expect calls so I got a voice mail that literally just “Hi my name is XXX my number is ####” and nothing else what sort of socio path behaves that way?
Don’t forget about the ritualized cannibalism.
I don’t understand why they tend to get upset when that part is mentioned.
