    Been to the cinema lately?

    Just got this in my inbox from the good people at Alpha...

    As you may know, Alpha UK has just launched a cinema advertising campaign as part of the annual invitation to attend an Alpha course. The advertisement will be seen by an estimated 2.4 million people over the coming fortnight. We thought you might be interested to read some of the wonderful press coverage:

        I keep seeing this Alpha Course advertised on every church I pass now. Methodist, vanilla CofE etc. I thought initialy it was just something put out by the church of raving cranks and loonies.

        If our average Mrs Daft old churchgoer is interested there must be more to it than I thought. How much does it cost CL? (surely it shold be free?) I could do with a laugh and I don't have anything better to do in the week.

            At my local chav mall on Saturday there was something called 'Rock On', which seemed to be about jumping for Jesus.
            Loud, energetic music and lots of little kiddies on a stage jumping for Jesus. I have to admit, the spectators appeared to be really in to it.

              Thanks for the warning. This will certainly increase the revenues of blockbuster and DVD rental shops.
              I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                Gullible, weak minded individuals who need something to latch onto to make them feel as if they "belong" and that their tedious little life has some meaning.

                Just like Chico really.

                  Steady on, JC. Is that any way to speak about your followers?

                  The most embarrassing part was the 'adult motivators'. 30 something year olds leaping about like children's TV presenters on speed. Although one woman did have quite a reasonable arse
