The Beatles Bible - Topic: Jesus, Reagan and John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/jesus-reagan-and-john-lennon/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 StarWisher on Jesus, Reagan and John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/jesus-reagan-and-john-lennon/#p42235 John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/jesus-reagan-and-john-lennon/#p42235 I don't mind this story so much as I've always perceived John to be a guy interested in a little of everything, possibly a fad-ist, but more likely someone who just wanted to try various ideas out and see how they worked for him.

 

So he might have become interested in Jesus about...10 years after writing God and Imagine? I'm sure I will have different views on things like religion in 10 years time, and I'm sure I did 10 years ago.

Over the years there have been hundreds and hundreds of accusation And it is fox who arent renown for their accurate reporting.

 However here are 2 demos of John singing You Saved My Soul around 1979 about tv preachers and being saved from them.

He went from one answer to the other.

I don't think you can take too seriously what he thought at any particular time.

(as for his supporting Reagan, which is totally speculative, I would guess that the odds of that hover around 0%. Reagan was to the right of Nixon, his arch-enemy. )

Just to be fair, here's an interview with the man who wrote the article in question. Maybe it answers your skepticism.

Thanks. All that interview did, however, is make that guy seem even less reputable. Still bullshit.

Serious study of the final year or so of John's life finds him on a definite spiritual seeking journey. And there are pictures of him with a cross around his neck.And I believe there is an interview of him saying he loved to watch the religious broadcasters and find some of the quite good. I know I read him asying that years ago.

I am not saying he became a Christian but it is quite likely he began to seriously investigate Christianity as well as ...]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:32:40 +0100 The Walrus on Jesus, Reagan and John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/jesus-reagan-and-john-lennon/#p41027 John Lennon http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/jesus-reagan-and-john-lennon/#p41027 "John became antagonistic toward her, blaming her for practicing the dark arts and telling her that she couldn't see the truth because her eyes had been blinded by Satan. 

Those close to the couple sensed that the real reason she was concerned was that it threatened her control over John's life. If he became a follower of Jesus he would no longer depend on her and the occultists. During long, passionate arguments she attacked the key points of his fledgling faith."

This is definitely from a serious news outlet, right? Fox haven't started stealing stories from The Onion?

A) It's Fox News. Remember the source of what you read.
B) Where on earth is this guy getting sources? Oh wait; his mind. That first part is bullshit.
C) I don't doubt he'd have voted Reagan. Carter fucked up on Iran badly. So that's not surprising.
This is typical of Fox - take a story, spin it to show how everyone is a Teabagger at heart, and ignore facts. It's bullshit, ignore it. It means nothing.
