Brad Pitt gets a Gospel Tract

[ballerina]

Oh yes, but it is alright for Hollyweird to pump all the garbage out that they do into our heads, the violence in movies that Brangelina feed into, the satanic images, the sexualization of women, the crap that you can't get away from whether if you choose to not pay to see these propaganda piles of what is often brainwashing horse manure or not because it is everywhere being pumped out to the mass public. You can hardly get away from it unless you live out in the woods.

Poor ol Brad couldn't handle some non-threatening guy who innaprropriately gave him a little gospel tract when he was done working on the set. He couldn't have had someone privately give him a quiet word not to do it again, or God forbid, thrown it out.

Yes that would be a huge offence in Hollyweird, enough to get you blacklisted for all time.
And I'm not even a churchgoer, and I don't ever try to convert people into anything, not like the corrupt movie industry and the CFR new age new world order pawns like Brangelina who are forever preaching to the public about what they think is wrong with the way people are living and how they ought to change.

Poor lil Brad couldn't man up and take this huge innapropriate offence with a grain of salt and gone on with his day.

It's irrelevant that it was a religious tract. It could have been anything, including a weapon. The issue is that he approached Pitt, period. It is a security issue when a lead actor (a target for crazies) is approached by someone who has not been vetted by his employer for this purpose and authorized to do so. Anyone who flouts the terms of his employment is not likely to respect others' personal boundaries, either.

[ballerina]

gimme a break, I know these 'stars' are treated like 'Gods' compared to the 'nobodies' the 'commoners' but the guy was not a flippin threat. Brad's probably more of a threat to people than that guy is, talk about blowin things out of proportaion. God forbid if you should upset a 'star', one of the 'idols' of today's masses, they'll have your head.

[JuJuBee]

It's not star vs. nobody. It's an employee violating the terms of his employment. Did he get prior permission from his supervisor to approach another employee in the workplace for the purpose of converting him? No, of course not. They did the right thing to fire him. Apparently it was not the first time he had done this, that's probably why he got blacklisted-- repeat offenses, was previously warned, ignored it.

[ballerina]

You're assuming alot of things there, you think they really would have given a flyin fig if it was another extra or low level actor this happened with, no, it was because it was Brad Pitt, the star, if you think otherwise, that it's not star versus nobody then your'e naive or being purposefully ignorant.

How do you know what the terms were or if he had to ask permission to approach the God or I mean Brad after filming on the set. Yes you are miss or mister by the book, whatever the book says I will do, the bosses, the authorities are always in the right if they are following the rule of the law, the rules of the terms, no room for a slip-up for the nobodies, no room for humanity, on room for a warning, after all he is a nobody isn't he, people like him are disposable and inconsequential, just assume he had warnngs even though he said nothing was said to him, he must by a lier. This mentality will do well in the NWO.

Listen you little nutter - I am NOT a movie star but I don't like it when strangers approach me or knock on my door giving me their religious pamphlets. Maybe you like it but many don't. I don't like the fact that these people think it is OK to invade my space and try to convert me. Religion should be a personal issue - why the constant need to convert others to think like them?? It is rude and obnoxious and I am glad his ass got fired - I would have reported him too - very wrong to be doing this in the workplace and that is what a movie set is - a workplace!! You religious nuts think it is OK to harrass others yet are constantly railing about having your Christian values under attack - you are the ones attacking everyone else's religious freedom. I could care less what faith anyone else practices - it's not my business - a saying Christians today don't seem to understand - It's not your business and that man had no business giving Brad that gospel tract!!

[ballerina]

I don't even go to a flippin church you little nutter, did you not read that, just because I don't think he should have been blacklisted from the industry you think I am out to convert people and that I'm a religious fanatic, that is you projecting. If someone gives me a religious tract I say thank you, dispose of it and go on with my day, no big deal.

Brad loved being given a million dollar bill with his face on it, he just didn't like what was on the other side of it. If anyone deserves to be given a million dollar bill with their faces on it and a gospel message on the otherside it's Brangelina, and I don't even preach the gospel. It's actually kind of funny for people who actually are capable of having a sense of humour about such things and don't take things soooo seriously. And as far as being out to convert people on a film set take a look at the case of Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise cannot take a joke
Director Haggis met the world's most famous Scientologist on just a few occasions, reports Wright. One encounter took place on the set of Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, where Cruise had set up a tent to distribute Scientology materials. Haggis and Spielberg spoke briefly, and the latter reportedly said that the Scientologists seemed very nice. "Yeah," replied Haggis, jovially. "We keep all the evil ones in a closet." The director's offhand remark saw him summoned to the church's "Celebrity Centre," where he was cautioned by officials for upsetting the movie star. "Did Spielberg rat the guy out?"

So hear you have Tom Cruise on the set of War of the Worlds preaching the Scientology Gospel to anyone who will listen and actually setting up a SCIENTOLOGY TENT on the film set, now was he immediately fired for breaking the terms of his employment, has he been blacklisted from the industry unable to work again as an actor???

Not only that, a fellow scientologist made an off-the-cuff joke with a negative connotation about scientology to Steven Spielberg, it's gets back to the Scientology Center what he said and Haggis is raked over the coals for upsetting Tom Cruise!!

In your guys view Tom Cruise should have been immediatly fired and blacklisted from the movie industry. That did not happen because he is Tom Cruise, one of the Gods of the movie industry. That is the double standard that is the result of the celebrity worship cult. If you don't agree that Tom should have been fired and blacklisted from the industry as well then for setting up a tent of scientology materials whereas the other guy merely handed out a lil tract then you are being hypocritical and indulging in celebrity worship.

Look at the difference in which these two were treated, one is a so-called nobody and the other one is a major movie star.

I loath Brad, BUT I think pushing your personal beliefs in a work environment is inappropriate. I am also a Christian. As for the firing, I would think a warning would have been more appropriate. However if this man has done this before and been warned, then that may have been the only option left. Blacklisting seems OTT on the face of it, but again I need to get the full story - has this guy gone around doing this on other film sets?

I need to know the full facts, and would be the same if this was any other religion. As for the Alanis Morisette story, that is beyond cold. I always liked her, so that story is disappointing on so many levels.

[ballerina]

Your's is a reasonable and level-headed response.

I've been a manager for over 20 years. I've dealt with employees like this extra who believe the rules don't apply to them. It's not an assumption on my part-- I can 100% guarantee you that the extra's job description did not include "convert colleagues". Rules exist because they serve the greater good of the business at hand, not the personal needs of one employee who decides arbitrarily he has the right to proselytize in the workplace.

Of course the extra will try to make it sound like he was wronged. That shows his inability to admit what he did was inappropriate. How do you know he wasn't given any warnings? He has a self-interest to try and get others to believe that. Just like everybody in prison is innocent, everybody who gets fired was axed by a cold-hearted boss for no good reason.

[ballerina]

and Tom Cruise proselytizing??? blacklisting applies to him as well, after all he didn't think the rules apply to him either.

How is Tom Cruise breaking any rules? Steven Spielberg, the director, clearly supported Tom's wish to set up the tent, otherwise it would not have happened. Do you think anyone on a Spielberg set, including a star actor, doesn't have to run it by him first? At the very least Spielberg decided to humor Cruise by agreeing to it. In other words, Tom Cruise had permission from the boss. This is totally different from the situation with the extra.

Most people say no to the tract or just accept it and throw it away later. Pitt made sure the guy was fired And blacklisted? So are all HW Satanists that sensitive?

You're missing the point. It's not so much about the tract, it's about this guy passing them out on set during a work environment. Also, as he's admitted in that interview he's been doing this for awhile. Work hours isn't the time or place to do this.

It took a week to can this guy, not a day. Think about that for a second. I've worked on sets where an extra just looks at an actor funny or stalks them and they are gone that instant.

Sounds like the guy might have been obnoxious with his evangelism like someone who can't take "no."

Tom Cruise is still a big star with privileges. An extra doesn't have nearly the leverage or power to skirt the written and unwritten rules in a work environment.

A very fair and balanced view. On the flip side, I'm an atheist and think blacklisting is an extreme and nearly unnecessary tool to punish anybody. Even convicted criminals who have served their time are allowed to work - and they should at the very least to add to the tax revenues and be less of any welfare burden on the government.

Who knows with the guy? Maybe he's exaggerating about blacklisting when in fact, he gives off a bad vibe on auditions. Obnoxious people are never aware at how they rub people the wrong way - or else he wouldn't be pushing his personal agenda at a work place.

As for Alanis, her actions scream self-absorbed narcissist to complain over one person asking for her autograph. Yes hotel employees are not to bother any of the guests. But to actually complain over one incident? Please...she'll be pining for those autograph-seekers when she's another of the many musician has-beens that pile high in the music industry. And what has her sales been since her one huge album (which I've never understood its appeal except its bitter, shrill ranting).
