Jewish Video is now up. Lets mock this too.

Post by _why me »

Since some here are into mocking the Mormon temple ceremony because of Noah's video, I thought that you may enjoy mocking these ceremonies too.

As we can see how people worship is sacred and it can seem strange for an outsider.

Come on now guys, lets have some mocking....come on...don't be shy..

The difference between the video of Mormon temple activities and videos of Jewish prayer is that the first shows something that takes place in secrecy, and the second shows something that anyone, Jewish or not, can go and look at whenever they please.

And sometimes Gentiles, unfamiliar with the format of Jewish prayer, have said that they found it strange. In this case someone finds themselves in a synagogue at the festival of Simchat Torah ("Rejoicing in the Torah") during which having fun is to some extent a religious obligation, and it is clearly that feature of the service that worries the gentile observer who is more used to regimentation and solemnity during worship:

Diary of Samuel Pepys Wednesday 14 October 1663

Up and to my office, where all the morning, and part of it Sir J. Minnes spent, as he do every thing else, like a fool, reading the Anatomy of the body to me, but so sillily as to the making of me understand any thing that I was weary of him, and so I toward the ‘Change and met with Mr. Grant, and he and I to the Coffee-house, where I understand by him that Sir W. Petty and his vessel are coming, and the King intends to go to Portsmouth to meet it. Thence home and after dinner my wife and I, by Mr. Rawlinson’s conduct, to the Jewish Synagogue: where the men and boys in their vayles, and the women behind a lattice out of sight; and some things stand up, which I believe is their Law, in a press to which all coming in do bow; and at the putting on their vayles do say something, to which others that hear him do cry Amen, and the party do kiss his vayle. Their service all in a singing way, and in Hebrew. And anon their Laws that they take out of the press are carried by several men, four or five several burthens in all, and they do relieve one another; and whether it is that every one desires to have the carrying of it, I cannot tell, thus they carried it round about the room while such a service is singing. And in the end they had a prayer for the King, which they pronounced his name in Portugall; but the prayer, like the rest, in Hebrew. But, Lord! to see the disorder, laughing, sporting, and no attention, but confusion in all their service, more like brutes than people knowing the true God, would make a man forswear ever seeing them more and indeed I never did see so much, or could have imagined there had been any religion in the whole world so absurdly performed as this. Away thence with my mind strongly disturbed with them ...


But you know what? Despite centuries of persecution and repeated attempts to exterminate them as a people, Jews still have no problem in letting others see what they do, even if sometimes there will be misunderstanding and even mockery.

Why not Mormons?

Now PP this was only a light hearted attempt. We need more than a Henny Youngman one liner:

You need to do better than a one liner. By the way you can show the videos to your children like you did for the Mormon temple video to show them how weird those jews are. Maybe they can rock back and forth in their chairs and when asked by a teacher what they are doing they can say: I'm a jew, hahaha

What do you think...? Sounds good. Or are only Mormons to be mocked for their beliefs and customs?

Back in my day, henny youngman was comedy. I loved henny youngman. No mocking, no bad taste etc. Wow have things changed.

If something is secret it does not mean that it needs to be mocked. If Mormons want this to be sacred and secret, then let them. Why mock them? Why harm them? All faiths are touches of strangeness to them. All faiths. But so far, no one is mocking the jews in the video for rocking back and forth or for wearing what they are wearing? Why?

But only for Mormons can they be mocked for their 'magic underwear'.

They did cut out of the temple ceremony, the bit about the vicar, so they are changing their ways
& now they are even funding Mock Mormon projects with advertising for the real thing!

So Judge not people.

Um, ok, it's strange that they're rocking back and forth and wearing what they are wearing. Also, the Mormon temple ceremonies are strange. Is everything ok now?
