A friend of mine at work has got me listening to Coast to Coast AM on my way back from work...

I think it's good for a chuckle sometimes.  But anyways I was thinking what everyone thought about this Prophet Yahweh, Does he have a skill, or is it a stunt ?

I think it's a stunt personally.

Well, what's the latest on this guy? (Fill us in on the details).
It all seems so well orchestrated.

First, a local Las Vegas news clip starts making its way on the internet. It shows this "Yahweh" guy out at a park with the reporter and he summons a light in the sky. Even I'll admit it's fascinating, since the reporter was NOT expecting it to happen, and he had chosen the time and location. So how did this Yahweh guy make a light appear? (I'm a major skeptic, but I can't explain how he could have faked this unless it was collaborated on with the reporter).

Then next thing he issues a press release, and his website CHARGES for access to videos. Hmmm... issue press release to get public attention, then make money charging access to people brought in by the publicity. Sounds like a typical BUSINESS strategy.

Now, just as the date arrived that he's supposed to be summoning these lights every day, coincidentally his website is supposedly "hacked". Hmmm. Took money from people, and now by coincidence you can't access the videos. Scam?

Ahh I see he has made a Yahoo group to post the vids and pics.. Will check it out.

Looks like a Chappelle Show bit

Here are his free videos:

I've only watched 2 of them so far and they aren't very convincing. #2 looks like one of those metallic helium balloons.

(Also note there's advertising on the video pages)

What part of this seems in any way realistic to you guys?

Only the original evening news clip. How do you make a light appear in the sky when you don't have control over where and when you have to make it happen? If the news team is "in" on the scam, why? Why would a news team want to report false news? I could see Fox doing it, nationwide, but 1 little crappy local tv station??

heh. I said im skeptical, but the above doesn't make sense...

Reading this guy's messages on his yahoo group, he's an obvious kook. He's changing the rules he originally defined. An obvious sham, but I wonder what he's really building up to...

Whatever you do.... Do not.....

Do not....

Do not drink his kool-aid.

I wonder how high the balloon is and I wonder how much the "convincing" witnesses got paid??

[Gootfu]

lol @ koolaid!!  I was thinking the same thing.

Anyways, this guy was on coast to coast am last night, and the host was asking him to do his 'summons'.  Well Yahweh was just full of excuses why he couldn't.  I think it's hillarious!

How do you make a light appear in the sky when you don't have control over where and when you have to make it happen?

An accomplice with a pair of binoculars and a remote controlled helicopter. I expect that there are any number of way it could be faked. Now why he would do it, I have no idea about that.

I have yet to meet someone who "wants me to check this show out" that DOESN'T strike me as more than a touch off in the head.  I've had numerous people tell me "I don't believe a lot of the stuff they have on there, I just never really change the channel on the radio.....but you should hear some of the stuff they have....it makes you wonder"

NONE of the crap I've ever listened to for the few minutes I have it on before I realize what it is and change it has made me wonder....except about the people reporting this crap.

My wife HAD to hear why I thought this show was so friggen odd, so we listened to a story.  I SWEAR to you, this was the first and only story, since I couldn't stand it and had to turn it off before my head exploded - there are a group of people (I won't lump them in with scientists, since these guys are NUTS!) who believe there is an "island" of sorts floating out somewhere in the ocean made up entirely of the used condoms that make it out of "the system".  Something about convergence of some sort.  They believe it to be so thick that when you came upon it in your boat, you could walk on it, like some prophylactic oasis in the ocean.....Hawaii, without all the tourist hassles

If I've offended someone here because they listen to this show and find it to be more "truthful" than anything else out there, please accept my apologies and a one way ticket to the Trojan Islands
