Bbholden | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:23 am     I am so upset today. I should never have read the boards today. I had my hero, Jason, and now I realize how I have been duped. He's no hero. He's no better than the rest. I don't understand him. He laughs at how the others verbally abuse people. He even participates in an understated way. Now I realize he probably would be joining in if not for the thought that he might lose the money. He's been a puppet this entire time. First Dani's and now Roddy's. He tossed away the money, friendship and even his Christian beliefs these last couple of weeks. He is no longer a hero, but a scared little man hiding behind whomever's skirts he can find. He can't stand up for himself, and he doesn't have the bullocks to stand up for truth and fairness. Someone send me a rope, I feel like I have to hang myself....sob sob sob Damn I love this show!! |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:26 am     I highly doubt he has thrown away his Christian beliefs. Everyone makes mistakes, and Jason is no different. By the way, he never was a hero, so he can't 'no longer' be a hero. |

Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:28 am     I dont think this really has to do with religion. Jay doesnt go around throwing his religion in everyones face. I'm very disappointed in his actions via roddy but it has nothing to do with his beliefs. Just a lack of backbone |
Bbrules4ever | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:30 am     i like jason but i certainly dont put him on a pedastal......his christianity has not been a factor in the game; except serving as an effective screen for his sexual repression/asexuality. if he was a true christian you would think he would be more "on fire" for god ...more upset at the pervasive amorality, marcellus' homosexuality, Roddys Atheism, ....things that should concern him as a *moral* person......in the game....etc. His silence *is* tacit approval. |
Marysafan | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:32 am     I had to laugh last night, when I saw how Jason won the power of veto. He said, If he could hold a public office he would want to be President of the United States. No one picked THAT answer! I thought to myself...Jason...you can't be President of the Untited States...you have no backbone! |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:34 am     Mary he would run from the first debate. He is scared to death of confrontation. That might be from growing up as a kid that stutters so I dont blame him. |
Bbholden | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:36 am     Theo, I may have overstated my thoughts regarding the losing his religion... however, a real Christian would not sit by and listen to someone being bashed, nor participate. Jason has done both and continues to do so. He had some not so Christian actions last night, sitting in the HT and listening to lies about Amy. I am not saying he is not a Christian, nor that he is not allowed to make mistakes... but I am saying that if you put yourself up as a Christian, you need to realize that you will be called on it when you do not act in a Christian manner. My post was tongue in cheek for the most part, but the sentiments are real. I have lose all respect for him because he is not a man. At 25, Christian or not, a man thinks for himself. Jason has yet to think for himself. Dani and Roddy do his thinking. |
Csnog | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:37 am     Jason has just set himself up with both strong leaders this week. He thinks that he will be brought to the final 2 by either Dannie and or Roddy. He is wrong. They will both dump him in the number 3 spot because neither will take the chance of the evicted HG's voting for him. He has not lost his religion but has had to compromise his values and he knew that going into the game. |
Bbholden | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:38 am     BBrules, you are stating my thoughts much more clearly than I did... thanks. I was being dramatic. |
Battlestar | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:52 am     bbrules---if Jason had done all the things you think he should do (because he is a Christian) He would have been gone at Week One and he knows that. |
Romans8_1 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:55 am     So, Jason gets bashed if he acts like a Christian, and he gets bashed if he does not act like a Christian. Hmmm, maybe he's just getting bashed because he is a Christain. |
Muse | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:56 am     Why is Jason being attacked for not being a good Christian while Danielle is not? He's never tried to act like he's morally/spiritually superior to anyone, so it hardly seems fair. And also - since when did being a Christian mean that you can't do things that are wrong, or make mistakes? I like Jason because he's one of the few HGs who tries to avoid participate in bashing anyone. He's told people to stop on several occasions, and often just ignores the conversation on others. Sometimes he's participated (either by laughing, or by making some small comment), but it's rare. And last night he commented on how he feels bad about it, and how he tries to avoid it. Good enough for me. And people call Jason "weak" for not nominating Roddy. I disagree. And I don't think that decision had anything to do with his religion. I think Jason's a nice guy who doesn't want to hurt or betray his friends. And from his perspective, Roddy hasn't done anything all that wrong. I was disappointed that Jason didn't nominate him (since I think it's all part of the game, and that Roddy's a threat), but I don't think poorly of Jason because of it. He did what he thought was right, even though everyone else was pushing for Roddy and Gerry to be nominated. He knows that it might have lost him the game, so I think he'll be able to live with the consequences. |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:58 am     romans i dont think it has anything to do with his religion to most people. danni is a christian also. Posters just pick and choose what upsets them. I dont think jason being a christian should have nything to do with the game. I personally like jason but was extremely disappointed with him twice this week. |
Cajunrambler | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:01 am     Psalm 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." The third part of this verse nails Jason on the head. By sitting down and taking part or agreeing with the bashing going on, he makes himself one of them. If he, on the other hand, stands up and defends the person wronged, then I would have more respect for him. |
Romans8_1 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:01 am     Theo, my point is that several posters keep bringing his Christianity up as a point of arguement (even though Jason has never play the Christianity card). I was wondering why they keep holding him to a standard that he is not imposing on anyone else? |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:03 am     Being a christian has nothing to do with defending someone who is being bashed. In your opinion, that may have something to do with acting like a christian; but acting like a christian is subjective and easily judged by others, and unfairly so. My feeling is that Jason would say he was upholding his word by not nominating Roddy; he had given his word and he stuck to it. It's clear that giving that word was a poor choice; but Jason was/is willing to live with that mistake and that is admirable. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:10 am     Just out of curiousity, if Jason were to play the 'christian card', what would it look it? What action would constitute playing the card? |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:12 am     romans I agree with you. I think race, sexuality and religion should be off base. |
Whineandroses | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:12 am     Umm... isn't this a game? I thought the whole point was to make it to the end of the game. It makes me laugh when contestants (or fans for that matter) say they will make it through with integrity, honor and not compromise their values. Guess what? In a game where you have to make people like you to stay - you have to do many things you wouldn't in the real world. Do you really think that Jason is doing anything differently than any other contestant (BB3, Survivor, etc.) that has participated in the past? |
Battlestar | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:18 am     Theo---that would leave only rocks to be eligible to play the game |
Romans8_1 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:21 am     Crossfire - look at Roddy. Roddy plays what I would call a "Christian Card" without the Christianity. How many times has he told us how much of a good person he is. Is that implying that everyone else is bad. The HG should be offended everytime he says that. I am not saying Christians are good and everyone else is bad, just that we are forgiven and have a relationship with Christ. But some like to use it as a means of showing how good they are in order to gain an advantage in a situation. This is a weak answer, but best I could come up with at this time. |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:21 am     ocean why is it when he tells kiki and roddy something that it is him giving his word but when he tells danni something it is not giving his word. I like jason but I still think this week was all about a lack of backbone. Just like when he said he would have nominated roddy but he was afraid gerry would use the pov. When later that wasnt a fear. None of the hgs are perfect. None of us are perfect. We can disagree on what they do or say. |
Romans8_1 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:23 am     Theo, I don't know if you saw it, but didn't Gerry later admit that he would have used the Veto had he gotten it? So, Jason's fears where justified. Maybe there was a little devine intervention there. |
Theo17 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:26 am     no romans gerry meant he would use the veto and veto out amy. This was after nominations and after jason won the pov. jason was speaking about if he had nominated roddy to begin with. Totally different circumstance. Gerry is weird. even when pleading for his life with jason he speaks indefinitely. He uses terms like in all liklihood. He should have just told jason flat out I wont monitae you. But gerry is toast. i still want jason or danni but I'm disappointed in jason. |
