They've been there every game behind the north zone and/or at the northeast or northwest corners. Definitely not accomplishing what they think they are.

Just curious what they are saying? Did you or anyone try to engage with them them?

Thanks for the info….I'll check them out.

Last year they were yelling that going to a football game was a sin and we were all going to hell.

Have not heard them this season.

Edited to add that I wanted to ask them what their view was on the Fellowship of Christian athletes. Or all the pastors, deacons, and Christians they were condemning to hell for attending a fb game.

Speaking about Aggie fans:

They're trying to save you from Aggie football, noble cause really.

Nice. Beat me to it

Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us..."
I laid aside Aggie Football years ago...spiritual life is all the better for it.

They are I believe from Wells Texas and a cult. If you Google church of Wells Texas it will tell you about them.

Yikes. Always Baylor, man.

The group is led by Sean Morris, Jacob Gardner, and Ryan Ringnald, former street preachers who are all in their early thirties. It has approximately ninety members,[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Wells#cite_note-2][2][/url] many being young adults and children.
In 2004, Morris and Ringnald met as roommates at Baylor University. Both students met and made friends with Gardner as regulars of Antioch Community Church in Waco, Texas.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Wells#cite_note-3][3][/url] After attending Antioch Waco for several years, they left and founded the Church of Wells in 2011.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Wells#cite_note-4][4]

The church and its members have been involved in several controversies such as the delayed reporting of a three-day-old infant's death. Many church members have engaged in disorderly and disruptive behavior such as disrupting a Lakewood Church service, which has led to some criminal charges and convictions. They believe this is consistent with biblical persecution. Accounts of individuals abandoning their families and former way of life, such as Catherine Grove, have led to the idea that the church could be an emerging cult.

They did heckle Joel Osteen, one good point amidst all the child abuse and kidnapping.

Saw some street preachers shouting at people in Gainesville last time the Ags played there. I'm curious about seeing them again; in my old age, I'm much more willing to confront people than I used to be.

I just don't understand how they think they're doing anything beneficial for the Kingdom or for themselves. I don't get it.

And this does remind me of the State Street Preacher. He would set up shop on the corner of State and Washington in Chicago and has preached to the passing throngs 6 days a week without ever missing a day since 1969.

His message was:

Chambers has been a controversial figure during his preaching career. Chambers is strongly opposed to homosexuality, premarital sex, smoking and crossdressing and frequently tells people he suspects of engaging in these activities that they are going to Hell.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Street_Preacher#cite_note-racked-3][3][/url]

Chambers also preaches that women's primary purpose is to have children and obey men. Chambers' preaching is unpopular with many, and he has been subject to violence on multiple occasions, claiming that people have spit on him, maced him, and threatened him with violence. He reported that in one incident someone attempted to burn his clothes while he was wearing them.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Street_Preacher#cite_note-The_Street_Preacher-2][2][/url] Chambers was assaulted by two men on May 21, 2014, but declined medical treatment and returned to preach the following day, telling reporters he was ready to forgive the attackers.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Street_Preacher#cite_note-attacked-1][1][/url]

Same reason JW's and Mormons go knocking on doors and annoying people: the rejection is part of the point. You go and share what you KNOW to be true only to be repeatedly rejected. Taking that experience back to the group and being comforted that you are right and they are the unwashed masses helps solidify an "us vs them" mentality which is useful for keeping people in the movement.

[Comment removed, was making a joke but realized it wouldn't be seen that way]

Bullhorns do not work if someone grabs that center knob that vibrates to amplify sound.
I know this because I once (back when I was young and feisty) walked into a small crowd
of protestors and did exactly that to the leader while telling him not to yell in my face.
I then told them to get back on their bus as their side, The Taliban, had already lost
and were fleeing. Note I did not push pull or in any way hurt anyone.
But they did check the news and promptly left.
Too bad the U.S, stayed in Afghanistan, that was a waste.
The proper strategy was to leave and if the Taliban came back then kick them out again.
Do this as many times as it takes for them to realize we cannot be beaten in war,
and that there are many Afghanis willing ti fight the Taliban.
If they get elected, then okay they get office. But they better behave.
