I'm not gonna start a theological argument but I've felt that there are some people who sometimes use god and church as a crutch. In that way they do not have to take responsibility for anything. I am not saying that Jameka is doing that, but those who are highly religious sometimes can seem as if they are sometimes using it as a crutch. Sometimes.

Was I vague enough? I don't mean to generalize either. I'm just saying that in my experience, this is sometimes what I've seen.

Isn't Jameka aware that this is a game and she is trying to win material things??? Why would her way of wanting money be displeasing to God? And why bring God in this anyway, she's not trying to save a human life and so invoke God's help to save a human life, it's a freaking game and she's after half million bucks, leave God alone, she should know that God is for higher values than a materialistic money game.
I can't believe wanting God to help her win material things, God is there to enhance her spiritual life not for her vain materialistic purposes.
This is bordering on ridiculous.. and it would surely bug a lot of true Christians...

If God is this involved with BB, that explains why the rest of the world is the way it is.

Though, I think that God is busy enough and He has delegated this to some angel that is out of favor with Him :-)

Many of the HG over the years, including this year, have talked of it not just being the money, though for some it is.. Dustin claims that the $5,000 he got will make a big dent in his school debts.

But anyway Jameka and others have spoken of getting exposure on TV for further "opportunities" and Jameka is presenting herself how she wants to be presented and that's cool.

The game related statements do make me shake my head.

I don't doubt that Jameka is sincere. Amber.. not so much..

Banner for Jameka
Jameka, I'm 2 busy. Not predecided. God.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say,
"Taste God."

She needs help. It's like a cult brainwashing the
way she carries on. I mean, my family, especially
my grandparents, are religious...and Jameka scares
me with the way it consumes her. And that's
saying a lot coming from me with what I've seen
and heard from my family over the years.

I do love the church music though.

<93> If praying gives Jameka some peace and comfort in that house, more power to her.

She was saying something about forgive those who seek revenge(?) on me? I'm not sure exactly but I was wondering what or who she was talking about.

Darclyte, i dont see how you view jameka's behavior as "cultish" when she does not force or recruit others to adopt her beliefs and ways of thinking.

She is very outwardly religious, but im betting if you asked any houseguest if she was attempting to convert or impose god on them, they would say no.

So if shes not a danger or threat to anyone, why does it matter how involved she is with christianity?

I have not seen her to be hypocritical in her faith, but she is kind of like those who read horoscopes and see how they apply to her life.

But, when you read them they can apply to anyone's life.

Topshotta I really don't want to get into a big discussion of religion with you or anyone else. I'm not saying she's cultish in trying to convert others, but in what she was saying and how she was saying it. Her prayer "mantra" was very cultish in that it was like she had been taught certain things to say and was repeating them. Nothing she said was "biblical," it was all sayings that someone came up with an taught her.
Also, religion is a major part of many people's lives but she believes that (a) God has already predetermined everything and (b) she is just an instrument of his to carry that out. That is pretty much the same beliefs of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and many cult leaders.
Almost all religious scholars say that God has given people free will, that is why people have to "choose" to believe. Someone posted that there is a scripture where God says (paraphrasing) even in the womb I knew you and had plans for you. That doesn't mean things are predetermined, that means that God has ideas for someone, but it's up to you to accept them and follow them to make them happen. They aren't going to happen on their own.
However, her religion seems to dominate her personality and seriously affects the decisions that she makes in a way that seems almost debilitating. If her religion were Islam, people would be all worked up over the things she says, but religious extremism is the same no matter which religion it is applied to, and she shows signs of religious extremism. And that is some cause for concern for her and her future.

Someone needs to let Jameka know that God is too busy to worry about Big Brother now because her pal Amber has started a _____ storm.

This situation will get very interesting now.

99% chance that Jameka and Amber will be nominated. I wonder how they will interpret how they should campaign to stay in the house?

We MAY actually see something from them? Will they walk the walk?

I think it's okay to ask God whatever your want to. His answer might be "No" though.

I think that God is Big Brother, so he might have a sense of humor and actually watch the game for entertainment purposes only.

If nothing else, God has to have a sense of humor. Heck, look a camels, monkeys, hippos, or anteaters. Their either fun to look at or funny.

Tobor asked,

"We MAY actually see something from them? Will they walk the walk?"

I think it all depends on how much the rest of the house treats them.

I'm guessing Jam will do her best to isolate from most of the group. I suspect she will be angry, especially with Eric, and will steer clear of him and Dick. I think she could blow up if provoked in the slightest way.

I seriously doubt Jam will campaign as much as Amber. Amber will be Amber and thro Jam under the bus in a heart beat, while I think Jameka will be slow to verbally attack Amber.

Jam will try to walk the walk, but I fear her anger will make it hard for her. Eventually she will fall.

Amber will immediately trip while walking.

Couldn't agree more Costa. I have been a Christian for years and i wish someone would have told me all I have to say is..."I am a Christian"...and that means you automatically have to believe me. Can someone please tell me who I talk to about that cuz my life could have been so so so different.

It doesn't matter to me who is a Christian and who isn't a Christian. The fact that they are a Christian or say they are a Christian doesn't affect my relationship with them or my feelings about them. My main interest is how they treat people, how they act and what they do in their day to day life.

Also, I don't have any expectations of someone when they say they are a Christian because so many totally different types of people make that claim.

Well, according to Jameka, the whole thing has already been micromanaged, designed, written and delivered. All she has to do is just show up every day to see how things turn out.

When you think about it... it must really take the pressure off of life when you have that belief system.
