Quit Worshipping the Almighty Dollar and Have More Fun Inside Walmart Than You've Ever Had

Do you like opera? No? Well, you'll like Cell Phone Opera. Get about 25 buddies and enter into the store. Each one of you has been sent to this store to buy a gift, but when you get in there you start arguing with the
 person on the other phone about the gift. Pretty soon there are 25 people spread throughout the store arguing very loudly over their cell phones, annoying customers and disrupting business.

At Rev. Billy's web site you will find more information on these and other perfectly legal tactics designed to drive multi-billion dollar conglomerates making hundreds of millions in profits while employing sweatshop workers absolutely insane. Because you aren't breaking any law, there's nothing they can do! Rev. Billy's personal appearances at events like these have even led to a book titled "What Should I Do if Reverend Billy is in My Store?" The book actually outlines in excruciating detail how store managers and employees should react to one of Billy's media events.

ITake the opprotunity to invite Rev. Billy to explain why companies like Walmart are destroying America and why people don't need to buy something just because it was advertised on television or because their friends own it. If his schedule allows, you can actually have Rev. Billy speak at your school or function.

No article can do justice to Rev. Billy's own web site. If you find yourself feeling buyer's remorse more often and are beginning to wonder if maybe, just maybe, there might be more to life than consumerism, then I wholeheartedly suggest you at least check out Rev. Billy's web site. Once there, you just might make the decision to join the congregation.

But isn't an empty vase more beautiful than a vase filled with stinkweeds?
Shelly, you are missing the point. Senseless consumerism and making a living are two completely different things. Please try again.
If Rev Billy is so very concerned about the evils of consumerism... why doesnt he give his books away? or his air time, travel time. How could he possibly know the merit in what I buy.... fine if his joy is based on possessing very little... possessing much is also a means of sharing. A big bouquet, a gathering of many flowers is lovely.. more lovely than an empty vase. Loveliness is not evil. I did notice by the way that he has dark roots... he cares about lovliness at some level.
Actually it makes complete sense... He basically says that rampant consumerism is what is destroying America... and well ... it is. How many more pink lawn flamingos or POS crud do you need from Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer made in China do you need for your home? I don't "need" any of it... what I want is the day I am free from being a slave to banks, credit card companies and anyone else that holds me back.
Rev Billy is looking for "Attention" only !! It is ALL self serving, nothing he say's makes any sence whatsoever either spiritually or otherwise.
