My own objection to the Jews for Jesus arises not from an<BR/>anxiety over pollution and corruption of a conservative tradition but<BR/>rather a discomfort with/objection to the array of forces underlying<BR/>and underwriting the mission, as well as the Jeebus-freaks' own<BR/>orthodoxies. It isn't as if, after all, the Jews for Jesus are any<BR/>better on queer politics than the Satmar Hasidim. And from what have<BR/>seen of the Jews for Jesus's evangelical campaigns both in New York<BR/>and New Haven, though this may be more of a comment upon the<BR/>neighborhoods I frequent than the offensive as such, they seem to be<BR/>directing their energies as much toward secular jews as toward<BR/>orthodox religious communities. I suspect the way they got my name<BR/>was by poring over a voter registration list and identifying the<BR/>phonetically semitic as meriting attention.<BR/><BR/>I also really like the idea of a Jew for Jesus '04-'06. That's some<BR/>crazy imagery.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-JEW FOR GSOCZachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651503777456345570noreply@blogger.com
