The Rebelution is shutting down.
We’ve made some great memories together, but even thousands of teenagers on a blog can’t compete against a behemoth corporate empire like Reese’s Puffs and their parent-company General Mills.
Now that they’ve started challenging teens to do hard things like “meet someone with your own name” and “pull off the perfect practical joke,” there isn’t much reason for The Rebelution to continue.
Reese’s Puffs has the resources and the marketing team to call this generation to a better future — we don’t.
So, while The Rebelution is over, The Reese-olution has just begun. Reese’s Puffs has provided tools Alex and I never could have — like the handy checklist below.
We believe that it is a complete road-map to God-glorifying teen years and a bright future. We’d encourage you to study it and allow it to reese-olutionize your life.
This list might sound intimidating, but just remember that you have eighteen years to complete it!
Even if you don’t start until you’re thirteen, you’re only talking about three things each year.
That leaves you plenty of time to eat lots of Reese’s Puffs — the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter flavor.

Would this be an April Fools? I actually believed it for a minute or so. HAHAHA
What? Am I missing something?
Well, then, it looks like I’ve already done my hard things then. I’ve met another Taylor, I have won an award… I think I’ll just sit back and watch TV now.
Omigosh thought this was for reals!
I HAD A HEART ATTACK READING THIS. And then I remembered, oh wait. Right. April Fools Haha. NOT FUNNY BRETT.
I had the same reaction!! And I completely forgot about April Fools…
Beautiful April Fools today
OH MY GOODNESS that was terrifying. My heart is still pounding!!! Nice one, Brett.
Why would you do this, Brett?! Well, I guess you’ve achieved your purpose. Haha! #AprilFools 😂
Oh my word, this scared me half to death! Then I remembered it was April fools day. Haha! 😛
I was like, I JUST JOINED!!!! NOOOOOOOOO! Good one. 😀
I was going to firmly try and talk you out of it. 😀I have a 15 year old I just introduced to your book, and I see in her an understanding of life and what’s important that is years beyond her peers. I think maybe a hard thing to do will be to get other teenagers ready and willing to do hard things!
Ahh I was all prepared today to not believe anything that I heard. I failed.
This wasn’t funny Brett! I was ready to convince you not to.
BRETT HARRIS YOU GAVE ME SUCH A HEART ATTACK!!!!! Shame on you. XD XD XD
The malt o meals version is actually better by far.
I first I was like, “NO!” then I was like, “OH.” Haha very funny! 🙂
Happy April Fool’s Day to you too! 😉
Good memory!
Oh my gosh, I almost busted out crying!! Like NO, the Reb can’t be over!! My heart almost sank!! I’m glad that was a joke!! 🙂
I’m laughing my head off right now! Funny joke and even funnier that you guys bought it!
Yea, he got me!!!
Holy cow dude! Don’t do that! That was terrifying.
And by the way, Reese’s has nothing on the Rebelution!
Seriously, that was terrifying.
LOL happy April Fool’s day to y’all too.
Lol 🙂 so you just found it while exploring old articles? I didn’t hear about the Reb until 2010, so I would have missed it too.
And you saved me from a heart attack, btw. 😉 I saw your comment before I saw the title of the article. So it was like, “What is he talking about?” *looks at the name of the article* *has half a panic attack until my brain puts it together* 😉
O My goodness gracious!!! That is just not a nice April fools day trick 😀 You got me, Brett Harris!
Oh, you got me good, guys. Completely forgot!
Okay, it’s a good thing all of you guys commented on here about it being April Fool’s Day…otherwise I wouldn’t have put two and two together 😛 XD.
My brain: “WHAT?! Reese’s?!! What’s going on?!! Oh wait, @trent_blake:disqus said it’s April Fool’s Day…Ha, it IS April Fool’s Day!! OH!!!”
Oh my goodness, I totally fell for it! You had me so worried! But still you had a good idea as to how to fool everyone.
Haha, yes, i’m quite gullible 😛
Oh, that could have been a disaster for me!!! XD
Haha, epic for you…. You could tell me “gullible” was written on the ceiling and I would look up =).
Haha, I guess so! Although apparently I’m not as old as everyone seems to think. 😉
No, no, it’s fine! I just have a habit of checking for new articles on the Reb by looking at my Latest Comments feed on Disqus. So I kind of spoiled it for myself, it’s not your fault. 🙂
Yep, same 🙂
THIS. 😀 My GOODNESS! This scared me SO much! I was like…I have barely been on!! But this was great — I had totally forgotten it was April 1st. 😉
LOL!! I saw the title and I got really scared, so I was bracing myself and coming up with awesome reasons for you not to…Happy April Fool’s 🙂
OHMYGOSH I HATE YOU!!!!!! Lol jk but I was so scared and shocked for a second there OHMYGOSH
Hey, you guys know if you say gullible really slow it sounds like green beans, right?
Yeah… In real years I’m probably (?) your age, but in Reb years I guess I’m pretty ancient. 🙂
Yeah, I know right?! I attempted to learn guitar, then decided air guitar was the way to go for me! 😉
Seriously?!?! Haha JK 🙂
*tries it anyway*
Really?? “Gul….li…..ble……….”
You know…whenever someone says something like that, and I KNOW what they’re trying to do…I still fall for it. Every time. It’s baaad. ;p
Yeah, I’m really vulnerable. I thought you were shutting down The Rebelution.
*sigh* Okay, Heart Attack, you can stop now. It was a false alarm.
Laughing out loud here!!!
Wow!! 😀 that’s super cool. 😉 My sister has a guitar, but it’s hard to find time to practice it since I take violin, piano, and voice, too. But seriously, people with guitars are SO COOL. 😀
Me too!
Oh, and your profile pic is boss. Just sayin.
A joke? What? I wouldn’t try to trick y’all. Especially on April Fools Day. =p What I really love doing is going up to someone who is barefoot or wearing flip-flops and telling them that their shoes are untied.
For real!!!
How convenient.
Bahaha, I MUST try this 🙂
I’m thinking I need to become a heart surgeon or sell pacemakers or something. I could make a killing off of this article alone!
Lol…I’m sure it wouldn’t sound that bad. 😉 I sing allll the time and sometimes it even annoys ME if I’m studying or something. 😉
Ouch. That hurts. =p
Lol :’D!!! Oh man.
Really though, I live on a bus for crying out loud. I have to do something to amuse myself! 😉
Wait what?
*finally gets it*
OH MY GOSH @Abbyallen1:disqus BEST UNINTENTIONAL PUN EVER.
I saw this an I literally started crying!!!
So glad it’s April fools day! 🙂
Hmm…poor choice of words…
Yes I did! I made my first account a long time ago or I thought I had apparently it didn’t work the first time. So yes I’m here you will be seeing a lot more of me in the future.
I jumpes when I saw the title of the artical. “What!” I thought. I’m glad it was just a joke. You guys have really helped me and led me in my walk with God. Thanks for that. And PLEASE don’t actually shut down anytime soon.
Yeah, thanks. I try. =)
You sure die a lot….
I had actually been waiting all day for someone to do an April Fools joke (my professor’s joke didn’t count), but even so I was slightly caught off guard until I read the end of the “Things to do before your 18”. But what was most disturbing to me was the fact that I failed to accomplish several of those things that I was apparently suppose to do before my 18th, which is a few years passed by now. 😉
That’s like, the second time you have died in the last half hour, Sam… 🙂
Singing should not make you die…I think you need some help here. 😉
Okay that was random! Lol
Well that was easy. Haha.
Do you two know each other?
😀
Yeah, am i missing something?
I am so confused right now…like whaaaat even?!
Oookaaay. I don’t need to ask more questions :).
No *happy dance* Was totally fine just random! But then again what would the world be like without randomness?
Haha!! Or maybe I take after you….
Are you saying I’m abnormal? Lol
normal is kind of boring, though, don’t you think?!
Boring
Agreed!
THANK YOU!
So you’re saying that YOU are normal? Yeow, I feel bad for you.
Stay away… I don’t wanna catch your “normal”! 😀
Amen!
This scared me half to death!
You evil geneius!
Like seriously, if people call me “weird” or “random”, that’s like the best compliment ever to me. 😉
I hate April 1.
So an abnormal is pointing out another abnormal? Mind = blown.
If you’re gonna point at abnormals, you’re pointing at this whole blog. 😀
I misspelled genius, and you didn’t catch it!!!!
Mwhahahahaha!!
Me too, sister.
It scared me 3/4 to death.
$$$$$$
IKR?
oooookaaaay?? I would still rather be weird…(but usually not in a creepy way weird…unless I’m people-watching at Walmart, mwahahaha)
I would look at you like “huh?” and then look up at the ceiling!
Oh boy, so my family isn’t the only one that jokes about people-watching at Walmart…
Well you know the definition of Sam in the Icelandic dictionary is random, right?
We watched someone stalk our neighbor at Walmart! It was scary.
Okay, if my mom is taking forever checking out, what ELSE am I supposed to do?! lol 😉
For real.
BAHAHA!!
Noooo mine does that too! Especially in my town… we’ve got some strange Walmartians.
You took the easy way out of that! But I’m kindhearted so I’ll let you pass.
“Walmartians”… love it!
Lol yes. Don’t we all?
Perfectly executed reaction!
Welllllll….now I can call you weird, I guess. 🙂 hehehehe
*tries to think of something clever to say but can’t think of anything….*
Okaaaaay…. creepy! My mom and brother witnessed a lady ripping her clothes off in a rage and throwing them at this guy.
WHAAAAT oh my gosh @programguy:disqus you’re literally random.
We live in a crazy world.
You’re weird. ;P
Speaking of crazy, why is everyone on the Reb at the same time?!?
*Gasp* Never saw that one coming!
Preach it girl! 😝
I think we broke a record….75 comments in 10 minutes!
You’re welcome. 😉
Now you see the light Sam! Jk
I cant follow this…
Ditto
Ahhhh guh-ross!
One time I saw…. never mind, I don’t wanna relive the moment. 0_0
When people are suddenly filled with passionate surges of fear and hate, they react quickly.
Okay. now you’re REALLY being weird. can I back out now?
Is this awkward for you yet??
🙂
@programguy:disqus, this isn’t even my conversation, and you’re border-lining weird…
Wow. Y’all also realize I was just kidding right? I don’t even think there is such thing as an Icelandic dictionary…
Me?
Wow that was scary but hilarious:D
“I like you” “You’re pretty”
*shifts uncomfortably in seat*
Haha.
Man! You people really are gullible! =)
Hahahaha. It’s totally fine. ;p it happens. 🙂 and it was kinda funny anyway. ;p
My first thought was, how can we save it?
IT’S TOO HARD TO KEEP UP!!!!!!!!
YES!
*Upvote* *Upvote*
It turned into a mad house! I guess @BrettHarris:disqus got what he asked for!
🙂
NO! You did not. 😀 Like at all. Don’t worry, I take sarcasm very well…:D I speak it fluently. 😉
Ikr, I keep frantically scrolling up and down my screen trying to keep up with it all…
Aww look guys! He’s got The Rebelutionary mindset! 🙂
Two new comments above, one new comment below, show new reply… when I close my eyes, I can almost see “Show new reply”
Aww I know!
I’m laughing out loud!
Wow. I actually believed you at first.
I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW GULLIBLE I AM I’M JUST DONE WITH THIS APRIL FOOLS MADNESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You two love to torture me!
sorry… lots of feelings…
Yes! me to!
*holds head and runs away screaming maniacally*
Weeeeeeeeeell I mean it was a sincere compliment at first… 🙂
Okay, so I laughed out loud when I read that one. 🙂
Torture is their love language.
Well, I was only partly kidding…
Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. Lol 😉 Well you’re lucky then…this could’ve been the perfect excuse I’ve been waiting for to punch someone…except I don’t think that would really work…;)
Sam emailed me and said, “Did you see that Brett is closing down TheRebelution.com?”
So evil.
More like *48 new comments above* *52 new comments below*
And yours!!!
Do a virtual punch!
*Nother gasp* *Innocent face* Me?
Oh Sam that’s just wrong.
Haha. I emailed back “WHAT?”
AMEN!
No, you’re mother’s darling little angel. You would NEVER do anything like that!
I actually don’t think I would ever actually punch someone, because I would go in a corner and cry for being so mean afterwards…because I really am not that mean despite appearances…lol…
Haha I’m not the only vulnerable one! *Napoleon Dynamite voice* yessssssss.
@mimeforjesus:disqus is missing from this conversation…
Haha…
Humph. I’m disappointed in y’all’s lack of faith in me.
I know!! @mimeforjesus:disqus we miss you right now… 🙁
Napoleon Dynamite!!! “Tina, you fat lard. Eat the FOOD!!”
Y’all stop it right now, don’t unleash the Napoleon Dynamite fanatics too…
Yes!!!!!!
“Vote for Pedro.”
She would punch the glasses; she would never touch you!!!!
No, they shall be unleashed. Ha. ha. hahahahahahahahaha!
“I think I’ll build her a cake.”
*Cries out in despair* *Minimizes screen*
My phone is buzzing every second…I have notifications setup for new comments on this…
Oh… yeah, I’ve got nothin’.
Ha, i know better!
“What are you going to do today, Napoleon?”
“Whatever I feel like I wanna do, gosh!”
???
What do you mean?
OH! In that case then, nevermind…because I wear glasses sometimes, too. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!
Taylor, you stay out of this! You know me too well, you might let something spill…
I had no encouragement, no support, no witty reply, nothing.
haha.
I believe in you.
Mum’s the word, I promise! I won’t tell them about the time you…
APRIL FOOLS!!!
Oh my! I totally freaked out! Then i realised…ahh this is april fools! 🙁 I was seriously freaking out…. ahhhh
What! What! Finish the sentence!
Uh-oh, it’s not the time when I…
:’D
“Do chickens have large talons?”
“What?”
“LARGE TALONS?”
“I don’t understand a word you just said.”
Okay, I’ll stop now XD.
Brooklyn Mikinzie!! Stay out of this!
STAAAHHHPPP
Yep, it’s the time you…
Aw, thank you. You don’t even know who I am, and you believe in me! Aww, a total stranger believes in me!
Hahaha. You deserve it!
I know right!!!
No, I’m like Finnick. I collect secrets. (and stories.)
This is gonna be awkward if you don’t watch the Hunger Games.
Oh dear…
Yeah. That was uber-awkward.
Doesn’t that make you feel SO special? 😉
Oh so I get the honor? Thanks. Umm, I guess you could say partly because of Brett and the Rebelution and we’re classmates in a way. If you think about it its not super easy to explain! Oh and not to forget you take part in this as well Sam.
*looks at a wig* “That one looks like a medieval warrior.”
I can keep going. 😀
I know, right? For all I know, this creepy internet stalker could believe in me… oh, this made my day!
I believe in you! I believe you would hurt me!
Okay, that proves it. You know me way too well.
I’m not a creepy stalker, I promise!!! @hannahbergmann:disqus I believe in you too.
That would be Sam and Me.
DHTU?
Haha, yes!! I knew the Reb was a defiled site, filled with evil-doers and internet-stalkers!
This is making me just so emotional right now. *sniff, sniff*
Just our style.
Stop it, I’m going to cry…
I got it. 😉
Wahahahahah…..
Ah, and here comes Christy with her say… 😉
I thought you were doing some weird donkey-laugh for a second there…
Ya I freaked out too. I was already thinking up a counter argument as I read. Haha good one.
I told her!
Don’t make fun of me, you’ll ruin my self-esteem…
I do indeed. No, I can’t tell embarrassing stories of you! You know too many of mine!
You have no idea how hard I tried to think of something funny to say.
Wait what?
Hmmm.. I dont know how to type crying!
Oooooh that’s a great idea. Watch out, I coming…with my glasses. You should be scared now.
Sigh.
WAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Nevermind. I said that the reb was shutting down.
Totally… haha
OMG @BrettHarris:disqus not cool not cool!!! you totally freaked me out!! i’m like really they would shut down DHT because of that!!! it didn’t make sense then i saw @disqus_k0BsmOKhxl:disqus
comment and it made sense!! Brett don’t ever do that again!!! you totally freaked me out!!
God Bless
~Madeleine
*Sam screaming and running away*
Oh, that was a pathetic lady-scream…

Cry cry cry.
Happy April fools everyone!!!!! 😀
Join all of the commenters on here.
You can just do a crying face. :'( Very pathetic looking isn’t he?
Hmmmm…
boooowhowhowhowho!
Nope, that doesnt work wither.
*Sigh*.
Not happy. >:(
I seriously have been on the computer too much…
Yes!
WOW WOW!! you to know each other? outside of the rebelution?
Yeah
Thar ya go. Mission accomplished. wait…what?! ;p
oh come on Ruthie!! 😀
don’t worry be happy!! 😀
Yeah. I met her at the police station. We were both being fingerprinted at the same time…
They met each other in the county detention center.
Okay, I laughed hard that time.
We both said the same thing!!!
why did ya’ll get arrested together or something?
haha
do you know them to Ethan?
Oh that comment is just so magical.
Now you can cry all you want!!
HAHAHA!
No!
Yeah, I shot someone and he was dealing drugs.
hahaha nice way to say it Brooklyn and cool name to!!
i was kidding! I’ve never been arested. Now defyingdepravity on the other hand…
Crack
You thought I was ** ?? I’m curious now.
Nah, I’m a senior. I’m also ahead, so I’m a good bit younger than most seniors, sooo…basically I’m learning that no one reads profiles. 😉
oh ok!
Thanks! It was a gift to me on my birthday.
He says with relief.
Are you messing with me??
so you guys actually don’t know eachother?
Great, now my rep on the Reb will be as that “crazy drug-dealer that knows defyingdepravity”. Thanks a lot!
You came acrost the line from CO to MO and they promptly busted you!
Hmmm…now I need to think of a worthy punishment for you for tricking me…..
April Fool’s Day!
Haha! Yeah, I left for like one minute, and when I came back there were 28 new comments!! My poor brain. (and poor Brett…)
Hahaha. 😀
Christy! Thank you!
Ok, this is the honest truth. I really do know defying depravity in person, but we didn’t not meet that way!
Yeah, he got what he asked for!!!
Totally. I was just kidding. We do know each other, though.
You’re welcome *eats a sugar cube*
Did I get that reference right??
You both got arrested for going on disneychannel.com without asking your parents first.
hmm…
xP
Anything I can do for you, just let me know, I’m happy to help.
Didn’t quite happen that way. Can’t think of anything I want to see on there.
YESSSS!!!!!! 😀
Yes… My eyes started to glaze over right around the time Sam’s glasses were being grabbed off his face and used to punch him. You guys don’t stay on topic very well. 😉
Alright, getting off the computer now. 🙁
Hahahaha. We don’t!
Hoorah! Yeah, earlier I couldn’t think of anything about him except that he only wore a net…which would have been an awkward thing to reference!
Same here, guess it’s time to go back to school! Been fun!
A letter to the editor:
Dear @BrettHarris:disqus,
When I first saw today’s post on the Rebelution, I was shocked and sobered. My first thought was that with your wife being sick and your life becoming more and more busy, you were being forced to cut back. I was sad for you and your brother, because I know that the Rebelution is the product of years of hard, hard labor and frustration. I was sad for you and your wife, because I’m sure the day-to-day struggle of a long illness is draining. I was sad for all the young people who would miss out on the Rebelution in the future. But then I got to the comment section and realized… You had jumped on the bandwagon of pranking on April 1, “April Fool’s Day”. Millions of people, I would imagine, play cruel jokes on their friends and loved ones on this day, simply for the sake of being mean.
I would expect this sort of behavior from many people. My 8-year-old brother, for example. But to be honest, I was shocked and extremely disappointed that you, a self-proclaimed man of faith would participate in this. You went along with the crowd; did what everybody else was doing. You participated in foolish, childish behavior not fitting of a truly mature Christian. Aren’t you the one who has written entire books about not doing what other people are doing just because it seems “cool” or “fun”? People do April Fool’s jokes because they “get a good laugh” or make popular posts on Facebook. But have you ever considered the feelings of their victims?
April Fool’s jokes are evil. They are foolish and cause an unnecessary feeling of uneasiness and mistrust in their victims. Friendships have been destroyed through April Fool’s jokes. People have been seriously injured and even killed from April Fool’s jokes gone terribly awry. All of this could have been prevented by simply using common sense and not following the crowd. Do you really want to be the part of a movement that bashes sense, trust and even basic health and safety?
I would encourage you to seriously consider repenting to GOD of this nonsense and joining the campaign #StopAprilFoolsNow. Proverbs 12:8 says, “A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is despised.” Don’t be twisted and be despised by all the good people who have trusted in you for so many years! Please join the #StopAprilFools campaign NOW by calling 888-NO-PRANKS or visiting our webpage at StopAprilFoolsNOW.org.
Sincerely,
Ruthie C
Haha, yeah I know right!!!! 😀
Wow… can’t believe I just spent 20 minutes writing this… It just kept getting more and more elaborate….
I did check to make sure stopaprilfoolsnow.org wasn’t an actual domain… 😛
My dad has a unique name; he says that frequently. 😀 *high five* !
DO IT DO IT DO IT
Yeah totally you shod do it!!
And depressing… 🙁 haha, Nicely done. XD
YES! Ya’ll should totally do that!
Yeah! My computer almost crashed! Seriously.
Wow wow wow. I am dying over here. ^_^
I thought you were serious at first…fell for that one too
Why thank you!
This is a scary look into how my brain actually works…
And you gotta do it before he sees us plotting on here 🙂
Woah. Amazing idea. I can’t handle it. DO IT FOR REAL!
Hahahaha! Uhmmm yes… definitely! 😀
That’s awesome!!!! 😀
Hurry! Do what you need to do!
Oh my goodness Ruthie! I totally fell for it! xD #StopAprilFoolsNow, everyone. 😛 nice comment lol.
When I first saw this I think my heart stopped beating for a second! I did not know what to think but thought something horrible must have happened, then as I was reading I was SO confused… until I finished reading the Reeses list – you got me Brett and now I can’t stop laughing and smiling. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face after my near heart attack, and have a great April fools day. 🙂
How did you handle that so nicely?? lol xP
Oh…..my…..gosh…….. I need to get off of this page. It is making me feel ridiculous; falling for everything like this. (facepalm) XD
This is brilliantly beautiful. I applaud you, madam.
She’s 16. I know what you’re thinking!
Why thank you, madam. Twenty minutes well wasted, I think.
Haha, thank you for responding! I was starting to feel really awkward about talking about something that if I had talked about it would have been awkward but I talked about it anyway (and it was awkward).
Wait, what? XD
Don’t worry. You’re definitely not alone!!!
DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
😛 We can all be gullible together!
AMEN AMEN AMEN!
YES!!!! LET US FEEL STUPID ALL TOGETHER!!!!
Maybe you should have waited until you nearly had it ready before posting that comment. You’ve got a lot of impatient (and possibly crazy) people waiting here. XD
*is dying with laughter*
Oh my gosh Brett!!!!!!!! Sam sent me an email saying the Rebelution was shutting down. The post hadn’t reached my inbox yet. I almost started crying and followed the link he sent me, and started reading it…then I kinda skipped over the Reese’s list…I actually had to look at the comments section to figure it out. 😛 I cannot believe I fell for it!!!!! Now I went back and read the list and I’m like OH OK I GET IT….lol 🙂
Anyway thanks fore the heart attack and the laughs. We love you, Brett.
Wasted? I think not! Miss, those were twenty minutes well spent.
Join the stupidity club…
That’s a good name for it!
Too true, too true.
WOOHOO!
You got another what?
Did Sam send you one too?!?!
Wow, Sam, I never knew you were so evil…
You both did at the same time I think 😛
I actually understood that!!! 😀 I hate/love awkwardness. I hate when it happens to me but love enforcing it upon someone else. 🙂
Oh I get it, you got him too. 😛
Sam! You’re ruthless!
Haha. We must think alike!
😉
The stupidity club?! I is in!
Thank you, thank you very much.
You can never tell how evil a person truly is until April 1st. 😉
Impatient?! What?! I’m not impatient!!!
*eye starts to twitch* HURRY UP SAM
You did?? Yay! But no, lol, I’m 16!
You know, I get this a lot in real life, but online? It’s ten times as funny. XD
Sam the poacher.
That has a nice ring to it.
I feel so gullible right now lol. :’D First I fell for Brett’s april fools, then this one. Holy cow!
Lol, you must be very talented. 😉 *gasp* How evil of you! XD
Amen, sister!
HA! I could SEE that! (And it was creepy).
Seriously though, give us a few more minutes and we may start throwing Internet rocks!
Alright, Hannah’s leaving the stupidity club to go practice voice with her sisters. 😉 IT WAS FUN TALKING TO YA’LL TODAY! 😀
Is that the holy cow in Egypt?
😉
Actually, Sam is only partly to blame. He was only following the leadership of Brett, who led him astray with all this wickedness…
I need to stop now.
You could learn a few things from me…
Lesson number 1: How to make someone feel awkward at an amusement park.
When you’re waiting in line for a roller coaster, and someone has their hand resting on the guard rail, rest your hand on top of theirs and look away. You can practically feel the awkward.
Are you actually making another site? 😛
Ah, I see. Soon it will spread to us all!!!! *horrified scream*
You’re a bad example, Ruthie. XD
Who started April Fools anyway? It’s really ridiculous!! Should Christian really be involved!!
I’m laughing unconsolably, and I have a cold so it sounds really creepy. :-/
Haha, we probably should have asked that sooner.
Internet rocks!!! *slaps knee and laughes* Good one!!!
AMEN SISTAH
888-NO-PRANKS…
Okay. Let’s get something straight. When I saw this, I immediately freaked out. My friend Jackson calmly just said, “Well, they can’t do this forever.” I was rationalizing while reading this (I can see order in confusion) and as I was reading, I thought, “This can’t be happening. He’s joking. I’m going to send him a stern email after I’m done.” Then I saw it was a joke and remembered that today is April Fools Day. I was relieved but upset about it. I don’t like pranks being pulled on me, but I can forgive and forget. Besides, Reese’s may have the money and one heck of a marketing team, but the Rebelution has originality and a holy ambition to change the world. I believe that.
Thanks!! I’ll visit the website.
Should I feel bad for not being a bit sorry at that inevitable fact?
B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T
India…
Lol, NOPE.
Yeah…
Actually its in a museum in Chicago…
hahahaha!!!
I just laughed my head off. It’s all your fault.
Ah!!! That was so funny!
I just realized that the “Get away with the perfect practical joke” was checked off. That should have been a clue!
It’s even funnier when you do it. 😀 #summerbucketlist
lol Join the club of us gullible ones!
Have you seriously done that??!
Wait a second…
OH MY GOSH
No, actually it’s on tour being lent out to museums around the world this summer. It has stops in Chicago, Egypt, and India though. In fact, I read in the news that the Queen of England officially cut the ribbon for the grand opening of its exhibit in London yesterday, and it was preceded with an official parade led by the King of Siberia and Elsa, queen of Arendelle!
#nailedit
We aim to please!
Last time I went to an amusement park, I didn’t have the guts. I watched my youth pastor do it though 😀
This year when I go to Cedar Point, multiple people will be my victims. >:)
I challenge @BrettHarris:disqus to come up with a witty comeback to this one.
I believed that. I need to get off of here.
Yeah! I may have expected this from my youth pastor, but from you?! Shame on you, Brett. *gives the evil eye but can’t because I’m staring at a tablet and I’m smiling now*
Ah…I was thinking about the golden calf the Israelites worshiped…
Aww man you just ruined my whole joke 🙁
lol
Actually, scientists have recently proven that you in fact CAN measure the evil running through someones blood by looking at their pedigree.
I just skimmed through it!
Wait, isn’t that common knowledge?
Yep!
The tendency to murder. We all have a choice.
TO BAD!
😀
I thought so!
I know my little bro calls me weird all the time so I just say “And proud of it!”
Are you in DHTU?
I know… My mom might not be extremely thrilled when I tell her that while I *didn’t* finish my math lesson, I *did* come up with a brilliant April Fools comeback a few paragraphs long!
Incorrect. Common knowledge would be looking at your parents and measuring their evil based on actions their performed in their childhood.
Scientific knowledge would be looking at your relatives from a hundred years ago and determining the likelihood of their actions being influential.
I second that challenge.
GET OFF HERE AND DO IT!
🙂
Wow… I think you just blew my brain…
Ditto!
=)
You sound like you’re serious
No…I thought about it, but I wasn’t prepared financially. And I didn’t want to do it for free. That’s just not right. 🙂
*ahem* uhhh pardon me but *two
😀
But math isn’t as *fun* as coming up with (hopefully) clever comebacks in April Fools discussions…
*pouty face*
YES!!! Lol…Grammar for the win! 😀
Few things are 🙂
You just replied to yourself!
I hate math! That’s why I did my lesson before he posted this…
I know. I interrupt myself too.
😛
Two is the number 2. There are two of you on here.
🙂
Could you please lend me some of this brilliant foresight you seem to possess? How did you know???
hehe xP
*sigh* I’m so so gullible! Completely forgot it was April Fool’s and I literally started crying when I saw the email.. What is wrong with me LOL
Same here 😛
Oooh, I didn’t catch that… discredit my former comment. *ahem* I believe the proper form is “too” 😀
What’s wrong with you is apparently afflicting all of us. I think we have enough gullibility-prone people to start a support group by now, right?
Yes… I know… that was the point oh forget it
I know!!! He gave a lot of people heart attacks.
Awesome. 😀 I’ve read some funny random things to do to people, but I’d never actually be able to do it.
I did it this morning before Sam broke the bad news!
You would think he would at least have the decency to offer to pay the hospital bills or something, right?
Hi, my name is Christy and I’m a gullible person…
Haha…
🙂
😛 haha
Hahahaha. Got me!
Hi, my name is Ruthie and I’m a gullible person. It has been approximately 5 minutes since I fell for something.
That would be in the millions. I’m in the ER now!
I have now learned that people cannot pick up sarcasm through the internet. 😀
“Hi, Ruthie.” *sniff*
*tries to hold in laugh* Ruthie, your shoes are untied.
DID I GETCHA?! 😀
Sorry.
Why is your computer doing that?
Haha 😛
You got me… I think… unless my computer really is doing something…
Umm… that’s a joke right?
Wow, maybe I do need a support group!
(KIDDING please don’t take that seriously)
Thanks=) cap is the best.
“Scientists have proven”, “Studies have shown”, etc., are phrases that have been scientifically proven to make everyone believe what you say next…
It certainly is! Look at the back of the screen.
That was so brilliantly factual-sounding until the very end… 😀
Hahaha. Good one!
Now that’s actually true, unfortunately.
Yeah, I should have said something more believable like “Dr. Pooh Bear has scientifically proven…”. That would have been SO much better.
PS I do get it though xP
YES!
Are you trying to tell me you did not hear my very sarcastic tone of voice??
What is the world coming two?
(And y’all know I did that on purpose…right?)
The hilarious thing is @ruthie_c:disqus @Ethan__H:disqus @Kittenese:disqus is that I have actually done a lot of those things on the list, well not a lot 7/18
*flips laptop all over the place trying to figure out what you mean*
Yes! Or Horton. An elephant never lies. XD
LOL
Congrats! Too bad one of the listed items wasn’t “fall miserably for an April Fool’s joke”…
Well, I’m gullible enough that I have to do that every once in a while so I don’t confuse myself on accident :P.
Wait, are you questioning the power of Elsa??? 5 year old girls everywhere are deeply disappointed in you!
Hahahahaha…
rite….
What I mean is this: I got you, and bad!!!
Lol!
Well, they’ll just have to LET IT GO.
That was so bad… XD
I would have gotten that crossed off a long time ago!
Ahhhhh snaaaap!!!
Oh that was terrible.
I was until I clicked on the link. Yea not! 🙂 I still don’t like April Fools and doing pranks. It’s not ok! That’s just me.
BUT IT WAS SO GOOD because it’s Frozen…
Oh. But it’s so fun!
Terrible-ly good, right? RIGHT??
Nah!! I’d personally rather not!!
yet so vital…
Of course. 🙂
To each her own…..
yeah, in all seriousness I don’t really like them. Like at all. They always seem to backfire 🙁
But while we’re at it, I may as well try to come up with good comebacks… 😛
*somber nod* It had to be done.
*lowers casket into the ground*
Gah!! Where is this coming from?? XD
Well, i don’t know if Frozen can save a bad joke. 😉
I just have more important things to do with my time. No hard feelings. It’s not like I don’t have fun. I wanna do some research and read about the history of April Fools.
My goodness you are on a roll today!! Did you have mountain dew or something?
People do it all the time though!!
Good. *puts away Internet rocks*
Attention, everyone. We have now seen the gruesome side of Christy.
*I* had two cups of coffee. Obviously that was a mistake.
I hate Frozen >:)
Not to say that you can’t make jokes or anything, but I guess I just wanna know where it came from, and what the original intent was.
Yeah… So I made a bad joke AND it was unoriginal! Noooooooooo……
Lol XD I love this conversation!
CAN YA TELL??? 😛
*I* didn’t have anything. I’m always hyped up.
Me too! Wayy better than math!
funny!!
*cackles*
Ok everyone, can we just stop everything and bask in this perfect moment??
Ooh, don’t remind me!
Yea, I got that too. Was I the only one? 🙂
*dies for the 80th time in the last hour*
Wait… you’ve only died 80 times?
Well, I’ve already been basking, so… *looks around awkwardly*
Lol
Such power!!
“I am burdened with glorious purpose…”
#81
Ha!
I’ve actually never had a Mountain Dew in my life…
DID YOU JUST QUOTE LOKI YOU ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW.
Yesssssss!!!
Me neither!!!
It doesn’t even taste that good, imo…
Can I laugh at all you in the stupidity club?
Aww, but won’t you be so lonely?
I’m laughing even harder now!!!
Well yes but it would be much more fun if you just joined us. 🙂
Am I the only smart person on here? If not I won’t be alone 🙂
Haha maybe not 🙂
For sure!
well now i know I have to read everything
😛
Yeah have fun with that
Yes! You have to! I *insist*!
Be prepared to laugh… to the point of tears!!!
JK haha 😛
Haha nope! I didn’t fall for it 😛
YESSSSSS!!! Want to start the smart club?
What should we call it??
Hey. Not nice.
Hmmm…idk, any ideas?
Laugh away… i can’t believe so many of us fell for it, me included 🙂
You can join if you didn’t fall for it. You didn’t, right?
Me either!
I got it! 🙂 *high five*
I most definitely fell for it. Didn’t you see my comment? It’s around here somewhere.
I knew he had to be joking, but I had totally forgotten about April Fool’s Day. Does that count? 😛
Oh, I got it….Smartclub!! Pretty great, right?
I had just had my brain fried in geometry class, so that’s my excuse 😛
Kinda…
OK, you get an excuse 😀
Bravo, such creativity. XD
Smartclub it is!!!
Hey.
ikr?
Do you have one?
Beautiful. Have fun being intelligent.
Thanks 😛
HAHA!!! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to use that quote!! He’s amazing. XD
*internet hug*
We will!
I’m turning off my Disqus email notifications for the day…
Uh, yeah 🙂
We’ll just blow up your disqus inbox!!!
I’ll blow up yours, too!
Yeah! Anybody else want to join??
NOOO D: THE SMART PEPOLES ARE TAKING OVERRRR
If you see a mushroom cloud over the midwest, it’s my computer 😛
I had mouth surgery on Friday and got put under and my brain hasn’t returned yet….and its late in the day…and I’ve been around ppl a lot today which is tiring. But I’d rather stay in the stupidity club. More fun. 🙂
Maybe @programguy:disqus ? I gotta go (I bet @disqus_LzTgmwudVU:disqus and @ruthie_c:disqus are happy) so keep recruting!
Haha and more fun for us to laugh at you!
YESSSSSSSS
Yes! I just I cant even hes just wonderful. <3
Lol
I see it!
Internet hugs! This makes me happy!
Lol
It had to be done.
*BOOM*
Yep.
umm I’m getting a little lonely…. :'(
On second thought…
Yeah, come on @programguy:disqus? You didn’t fall for it, right? I’ll keep trying!
we’re doomed.
I’m still with the gullible people
*tries frantically to come up with a valid excuse but is too stupid to think of anything*
Hey, me too! *high fives back*
Hee hee!
Yes yes yes! I’m trying to think of a happy quote from him but I cant… Oh well =D *skips off into a meadow*
Umm… at first I accidentally downvoted your comment so if that shows up in your Disqus inbox you know why… 😛 oops
Now I know why I want to study psychology.
I’m laughing so hard right now…. But seriously, is anyone here actually planning on getting things done today, or just sitting at the computer commenting on comments for the next few hours? XD
“Professing to be wise, they became April fools.” -1st April 1:1
I am one of those skim readers, so they got me too. I didn’t cry… almost, but I didn’t.
We’re smart people!! 🙂 HIGH FIVE!!
#Not totally gullible #SMART PEOPLE 🙂 High five!!
Lol, I actually do that a ton (on a touch screen my fingers are bigger than the space between the up and down buttons). It doesn’t let the person know if you down vote them. Just hit it again to undo it. 😉
I’m glad I’m not the only one, though!
Hahahahahaha…
….hahahaha!
Still laughing, XD
WELL, not totally gullible because we saw it. The title just threw us off!! 🙂
I’m thinking…I’ll finish my home-made zero gravity suit…between comments and bites of popcorn.
this is beautiful:) I always forget that it’s April Fools until the day after! I’m also terribly uncreative with pranks so I won’t be pulling anything today (I did consider texting my best friend to tell her that we’re moving, but I’m to nice, I would feel so mean!)
That’s great XD
You just made every other possible response meaningless. :/ Congratulations!
Nope, I didn’t fall for it either!
Oh good 😛
I was literally getting scared when I saw this!!!! Everything went slow-motion .Including my “NOOOOOO”…
I didn’t fall for it; I didn’t fall for it (in a sing-song voice)! I’m part of the smart club; I’m part of the smart club!
Ummm…sorry?
Hahaha!
I actually fell for it. I completely skipped the Aprils Fools part because I was so astonished that it was actually going to happen. Ack, my heart literally stopped.(someone please say that I am not the only one..?)
yaaayyyy! 😛
You guys really freaked me out for a moment. Gosh. Then I remembered all the pranks I had been pulling all day. ;P Nice one.
Unfortunately, your not. 🙁
Yaayyy! Welcome to Smartclub Taylor! It’s great 🙂
Oh.My.Word. I fell for it, until I started reading the Reese thing. So glad you aren’t shutting down!!!!!!
Oh, I suppose it’s definitely better than the alternative! Do they serve punch in this club? Or those little sandwiches?
Can everyone, seriously, exclude the cuss words from their comments.
Thank you.
haha 😛
Yes, much better:P The other club doesn’t even have a name! I mean, come on 🙂
Umm….I’m getting on the punch and little sandwiches right now 😉
April Fools has been used as a mask for lies.
I’m sorry, but April Fools is not justification for lying.
Good! A club just doesn’t feel like a club unless I can much on a sandwich, take a drink of punch, and look down on all the little club-less people around me! 🙂
AGGGH!!! Blarg you totally got me for a minute there, Brett! I seriously just stared at the screen for a minute…then it hit me. XD
And 652 comments already? Boy these next few minutes should be fun… =P
Ikr? Now I really want some punch and little sandwiches 🙂
LOLOL I just ran around the house at tears then came back and read the rest of the email!
LOL GOOD ONE! sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy it was just a joke XD
I think I’m way too gullible! This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen something on the internet and fallen for it before realizing it’s April Fool’s!
Yeah, it’ll be pretty fun. We’ve all been working hard so that you’ll enjoy your comment tour!
Lol, it’s a good thing! I just meant that your response was awesome. 🙂 Sorry, I see now how that could be misinterpreted.
I saw the “Why I’m Shutting Down the Rebelution” in my inbox (that’s all it said) and my heart stopped for a second. Thankfully I remembered what day it was…otherwise I would’ve been a basket case!!!!! 😀 😀
3rd or 4th time today? 😮
And don’t worry, we all are. 😉
YES. I am proud of my work here today. Lol XD it was a lot of fun.
Btw, I totally lost your comment about music in the flood of comments from this post. Do you remember what article that was on so I can find it?
I know! Waaayyy too gullible!
lol….. You guys have me grinning all over the place here….
Woo-hoo!!!
@ruthie_c:disqus at first I wasn’t sure if you were joking or not…… 😛
Oh good!!! I couldn’t tell but the fact that you upvoted it made me feel safer than not. 🙂 It’s fine, I just couldn’t quite tell.
Congratulations @ruthie_c:disqus you made me laugh out loud on this one!!! 🙂
It’s gone forever. I too left a normal, sane, level-headed comment…somewhere.
So, basically, I literally lost my sanity. 😉
😛 xD
It’s hilarious to see people coming on one at a time, seeing Brett’s thing, seeing Ruthie’s thing, and reacting…lol
My comment wasn’t normal, sane, or level-headed–what are you talking about??
Ok 🙂 I’m glad it’s all good! I’ve just been posting comments on this article so quickly that I’m not stopping to do my usual check for accidentally implied sarcasm, among other things. 🙂
Wait, you read that fast? It would take me a few *hours* to read all those comments!
Oh wait, it did take me a few hours to read all those comments…
Yay! Join the club!
My bad. XD I should have known better!
Yeah, I read several pages of comments but I don’t have time to read all of them! This needs to be put in the “Rebelution’s many successful posts” section…. 😀
Ikr? I was laughing so hard 🙂
Music? Did I see the word music?!?!?!? (Sorry, I’m a magnet to anything musical)
Haha yes you should have!
Best April Fool’s Day ever!!!
so totally!!!! 🙂
I completely fell for that one. I was just about to cry when I remembered what day it was….. People tell me all the time I am too gullible! 😀
Keep reading. You won’t feel so bad…. ;D
Haha! I know how that feels. We were talking about piano pieces. And you do know that I’m theteentheme, right?
xP
Walmartians…bahahaha!!!! 😀
My pleasure! Better than the alternative!
I was thinking of changing my username for the day, would that of been better?
Haha yep 😀
Haha I could tell! 😀 Well, I’ve spent too much time on comments and popcorn that my suit isn’t getting done, well PEACE OUT CUB SCOUTS! Don’t ask.
YES!!! You are amazing!
Btw, apparently I accidentally clicked yellow instead of none of the above. I like yellow! (And I know that that knowledge was very important to you, lol).
Did you know that they are coming out with Frozen 2?!?!?!? >:D
I’m sick and have been up half the night coughing for several days, so that’s my excuse. But I’m gullible the rest of the time too, so it doesn’t count. :-/
Wow. This just made my April Fool’s Day…
My gosh. 😛 I almost died for a moment. And I didn’t have the it’s-April-Fools thing to help me either, because that was yesterday in Australia!
Hmm…I like the idea…but I feel like it’s already been done. 😉
Seriously, where is @mimeforjesus:disqus? She’s missing out!
You officially get a free pass into the Smartclub! Have fun.
:'(
lol read the other comments….
I know!!
That was perfect! XD
Why thank you!
I’ve read some of them. LOL!
*dramatic music*
What you ask…is impossible…
*dramatic music dramatically pauses*
If only you were serious, because it is, sort of, true.
Congrats, you made it all the way down here!
Can I sign it again with a different name? 🙂
Please, oh please!
Why do I have a feeling that this discussion page will turn out just like that other “What Do You Love About These Discussions?” page, with around 2000 comments?
Mine too =)
Hey Josiah, I also think there is a lot of truth in Ruthie’s letter!
And I wish I had thought more carefully about how this joke might affect people. I think I just assumed that everyone would immediately realize it was an April Fools prank.
But reading that some people cried or nearly had a heart attack makes me wonder whether it was a good idea.
And I hadn’t really thought of it as lying, but that is worth thinking about too.
Amen!
Yeah!
Well we were joking about the heart attacks. 😛 And the fact that half of us cried is just a huge compliment to you. I don’t think it was a bad idea–we all died of laughter once we got it, and we had a total blast talking about it here afterwards. You should read our conversations–very entertaining. 🙂
Yes! Only ten times as crazy. I think it’s a bit more forgivable on this article, though. 😉
That’s very considerate of you actually. So umm thank you!
And I didn’t mind explaining I was just joking.
Couldn’t have said it better:)
When I first read this I thought to myself, “What?! No! They have to keep the site going! I read the blogs like every day!” and then I read the April Fools part.. So well done. You fooled me *slow clap* *slow clap*.
We were very, very sad for a few brief seconds, and very, very happy for several hours (and counting). I think it worked out well! 🙂
Seriously, I will always remember this as the best April Fool’s Day ever, so thank you for that, Brett!!
Well, I don’t see any cuss words, and I hope you realize that Brett was just playing a good natured joke on all of the peeps who constantly fill his inbox with their meaningless chatter – most of whom enjoyed the shock and the laugh :).
I nearly had a heart attack until I realized it was April Fools day. I was wondering “Why the heck would the Rebelution shut down due to peanut butter candy???”
That’s cruel Brett… Cruel…
Haha, welcome to the craziness! You’re not alone. 😉
That makes, what, the 28th heart attack that’s happened today?!
Lololol!!! Cruel!!!
lol!
My heart is still beating really hard… I’m not going to speak to Brett for two weeks now…
Aw 🙁 Read some of the comments below. They’ll cheer you up! 😀
I would like your comment, if you remove the cuss word.
Thanks.
I didn’t know that was a cuss word, but ok.
I’m guessing you don’t share Brooklyn’s opinion of Frozen. XD And yes, but did we ever think they wouldn’t do a sequel to what (scientists say) must be the most successful Disney movie in history?
I wouldn’t really consider that a cuss word… People have different standards of the language they use. Not trying to be rude, just a thought. 🙂
Did you really read all of them??
Hurray for random happy discussion!
Idk, can’t keep count… Brett, you’re gonna have to reimburse too many families for all the dead people……
Is that another joke? You keep talking about cuss words. I haven’t seen a single one.
Oh my lol
Ik, me either! I was seriously just gonna ask that…
Is that a joke too?
Another death… makes 2! Unless the person above recovered from their heart attack… or said person is a hypochondriac… 😛 😉
Haha, I sure hope he’s rich…;)
Ikr? I mean, how much does someone get paid for dealing with millions of teenagers across the globe? Gotta have some intrinsic value to that line of work, I would think…
Thanks!
Haha! Loki isn’t a very happy person… but he’s still amazing.
Ok….. Back to your lives citizens…. Oh? No!
Wait! Live like Jesus were right here! Oh! Wait… He is…. 😇😁😎
(pause for effect[Grue from Despicable Me])
Like, millions. Idk, maybe I should go into that line of business…
Yep yep yep. Sounds like the life! ;P
I like your style! AGGGH!!! Blarg… that sounds Irish? Is it? ;P
Guys! We should aim for a new record! 1,000 comments! Let’s see if we can get there! 😛 ;D
So a new survey’s hit media recently:
Due to a favored Christian teen blog, there is new scientific information that many Christian teens are incredibly gullible and that any shock will stop many hearts from beating… please refrain from taking any action or saying or writing and publishing anything that may shock such sensitive heart wearers…..
I told a few people I got engaged! The guy was French, btw, and a pilot! Lol 😀
(he also studied many different languages in college and was going to Uzbekistan to be a missionary)
I second the second action… or lack thereof…
Same!
I volunteer to be the non-gullible person who just attends the support group for entertainment! ;P
Dude! I didn’t even see that! I got to the part where he mentioned Reese’s and I was like, “Fools day…”
You win at life @BrettHarris:disqus ! *high five*
@programguy:disqus a.k.a. Sam the poacher, are you related to Juan the Butcher? ;P
Lol
ASAP
Steelers we’ll laugh together never realizing they’re all putting on an act…
That sounds painful…
Nope… ;P But I don’t get a vote yet, I haven’t been invited…
Me too?
Seriously, you never know what you’ve got until you think it won’t be there anymore! You’ll have a bigger, more devoted following now that so many people have thought it was gonna be gone forever… 😉 Lol
“Why the …”
“Oh my …”
“My …”
Am I the only one taught that these were cuss words?
I am serious.
Y’know. For someone who’s gullible, you have pretty creative prank comments, @ruthie_c:disqus
It’s so not fair! We need to have a huge rebelutionary get together just so we can pick up on everybody’s sarcasm! 😉 jk
(Which was very mean as I was one of the people who got pranked…. And believed it…)
Wow! 760 comments! That has to be a record for an article the first day on the website! It looks like Brett’s April Fool was a success.
No.
No, they’re not *actually* curse words, they’re instead a “cleaned up” version of what would actually have been said if curse words were used. Most would consider them a “cleaner” use of expression. But yeah, does replacing the offensive word with a cleaner version make it any better? Idk.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Many Deaths Caused by Heart Failure After Brett Harris Plays World’s Greatest April Fools Prank
Oh you didn’t tell me that last part!!!! 😀 😀 😀 I win at life!
Was the last part not obvious?? I totally believed you!!
It took me until the 2nd paragraph to realize that today is april first
yep sure does!
I know right!
April’s Fool! Great one 😀
not really, just avoid it in the first place!
Oh you poor creature, you! And to think I was as heartless as that…
yep, it probably will…
Yeah. I don’t want to make you feel bad or anything, just wanted to be honest. I guess, it sort of makes me think about what I say also. If we say something as a joke that is deceitful or misleading, even when we intend it to be innocent humor, may just be another form of lying.
As bold an example: What if I said that someone was ugly and then said just kidding, I think, that is still lying, even if it wasn’t intended to be.
I know that you were not intending it to be a negative thing.
Thanks for listening Brett.
-Sincerely, Josiah J.
nope! not even close!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
now they’re using Loki quotes alongside Elsa of Arandelle die now
Aha! I was just thinking he wasn’t a very happy person…
Good one!!! I saw this referenced over on Soldiers of God and I started to panic (kinda) until Trent said something about April Fools.
How long have you had this planned???
Hey yay! I’m not crazy! I don’t like Mountain Dew either! 😀
lol 🙂
Welcome!:)
You’ve never spoken to Brett. You’ve only communicated! Unless you’ve met him…
And it’s got Jack Frost in it and him and Elsa get together!!!!!!! 😀
I have to agree with Nathanael B.
If you think about it, most of these refer to God, and using God’s name in vain is called “blasphemy.” Very serious.
“Word” for example. In the Bible it talks about God being the Word.
Like “Oh my word”? It seems to me like I’m saying “Oh GodsThespian’s word,” not “Oh God’s word.” I guess it’s all in how you hear it…
Ooooh, what sort of pranks?
But you can play pranks on folks without lying…
It literally stopped? Oh, no!
Whoa, Rachel Schaus! New profile pic!
lol 🙂
Hi there, Jadon! Glad to have you 🙂
My heart stopped and my mom can attest to the fact that I screamed when I read the title. Then I saw the second paragraph and said “I fell for another one!!!”. 😛 You have earned my respect once again.
Seriously? These are things we say to AVOID swearing! I’ve never met anybody named Gosh. Goodness and word and whatever else you’re thinking of are used in MANY other contexts besides the Bible’s references to Jesus.
Why the what?
Are you saying cruel is a cuss word too?
What exactly do you say when you’re surprised?
Yes evidently you are the only one…sorry…
Well, “gosh” is actually a euphemism… but like @Ethan__H:disqus and @ChristianTimelord:disqus have been talking about, “dude” is a fun word to use like that 🙂 But seriously, there are some words that are euphemisms, and some words that aren’t.
What’s a euphemism?
ikr?
A mild, indirect, or vague term for one that is considered harsh, blunt, or offensive:
A word you say instead of a curse word. “heck” instead of “h*ll”, or “shoot” instead of “s**t”.
God knows the heart. Obviously these jokes aren’t meant for evil but for fun. God created fun, and He’s ok with us having fun.
Oh yes, let’s laugh!
Sorry! I was with my mime team!
Sounds painful… I feel for you!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I’m here! I didn’t fall for it because I saw it referenced somewhere else, and Trent said something about April Fools… otherwise I probably would have fallen for it. But I’ll join you in the “smart club” 😀
But if you think about it, every word used in that context is a word you use instead of a curse word. Goodness, word, gosh, shoot, great, holy cow, holy smokes…they’re all replacements we use so we don’t swear.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well… there is.
I do realize that Brett was only trying to be funny, but I think, he went about it in the wrong way.
Yeah… A friend was actually saying that today! Like, “Good grief” is just a Christian cuss word… I don’t really say “oh my ____,” just because I didn’t gro up saying it..
I literally laughed out loud how do you actually pronounce that gotta use that sometime!
BOOOOOOOO who WHO WHO who
lol
Somebody call the wambulence!!
Ouch! Tat burns…
That’s a good one! I wouldn’t have the guts to do that…
Or at the water park yell “THERE’S A HOLE IN YOUR TUBE”!
I don’t know what to think. Brett, do you have any input on this? I see no problem with any of these words because they don’t actually misuse God’s Name. Is it still ok to use them on here even though apparently Josiah doesn’t like them? I don’t know why he waited till today to say something…
Good point. 🙂
I have no clue what you guys are saying somebody enlighten me please I’m dying!
Yes! Nailed it!
@Ethan__H:disqus wanna give your input here?
Ha, that good, huh?
Actually I totally fell for that one cause I am a name nerd so for fie, selfie…
What do you think Gosh stands for?
I don’t want to be too judgmental, though.
I guess, people are not trying to cuss, but I hold myself to a different standard in that area.
Maybe your wright, but what if “fun” is at someone else’s expense.
Why am I seeing the emoji on skype that has it’s ears plugged and is yelling Lol @gbingo:disqus
You hit a guy with glatheth, well played. ;P
yeah, I agree, If they are a substitute for ___, then just leave them out of the conversation.
Wait, you mean while we were starting SmartClub down a little lower, y’all were starting a stupidity club? Wow, that’s a coincidence…
what kind of pranks?
It was too funny a prank not to read all the comments and see people’s reactions. 🙂
What does GodsThespian mean?
Yes, I understand what you’re saying. I personally don’t like “Oh my gosh”. But I don’t see how “oh my word” is blasphemy, exactly. Something to think about though. It’s a touchy subject I know.
I’m not Ethan H. (obviously), but you mind if I put something in here real quick? I agree with you that none of these words are wrong, in fact, we use them to replace words that are! However, we should try to be conscious of our brothers (and sisters) consciences. If these words are a problem to Josiah J., let’s try not to use them! I’ll try not to myself.
idk 🙂
Basically, an actor/actress for God. =)
God’s actor/actress (old Greek word) It just sounds cooler, in my opinion. 😀
Thank you! 🙂
It’s “God’s actor/actress”.
No prob!
Those are my thoughts, exactly.
Gotcha, very creative! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Well, I believe a good guideline is: if it is an abrievation for God’s name or H**l, then don’t use it!
That doesn’t make “my word” “God’s Word”. There’s a big difference. The pronoun before “word” changes the attitude and meaning a lot!
How did you answer my reply before me?!?!?!?!?!
Yeah, I kinda had to go, now I’m back and have like ten minutes haha…don’t think I’m going to get through everything. XD
Yeah…
apparently very carefully 🙂
I only tagged Ethan H because he and a couple of us were talking about this the other day.
I think you’ve got this pegged pretty well 🙂
SOG True Modesty. =)
haha 🙂
IDK hahaha.
I don’t know, they’re quoting from the movie I assume, the only reason I know about it is my dad is a Napoleon Dynamite fan.
Well, thank you very much! Unfortunately, I can’t take full credit for the comment. I got most of it from a guy named Paul…
But what about abbreviations for sh*t and d**n and all those other words? The list goes on. Should we just not use any words in exclamation at all? Sorry, I don’t mean for this to be a debate, I’m just thinking out loud.
Sounds like a pretty cool guy… can I meet him? ;D
Oh my goodness do I get in for trying to read all these comments???? XD Why did y’all go so berserk the one day I was away hahaha…
Well, those are the ones that are used the most, but I’m pretty sure most people on this site know not to use those…
Yeah, I know. I meant like “shoot” and “darn it”.
oh…yeah…I knew that…
I think we may be overthinking this just a bit. The Bible doesn’t specifically name what words we can and can’t use. I think much of it is in the motivation of the heart. For example, when I say any of the things Josiah J. named above, I’m not thinking of what he interpreted them to mean. I don’t think that’s a sin.
Personal conscience and the Holy Spirit’s guidance in your own life, people!
Y’all went CRAZY today!!!! Oh my gosh I’m still scrolling through comments…how much farther do I have… XD
oh, my bad, I’m not sure about those, I’m sure that Josiah J. will have something about those…sorry
Your landlord says yo rent is late….he might have to litigate…haha
Very easily. Just step into a heavily traveled city street, get hit by a car, refuse medical treatment, die, knock on the pearly gate, and ask to see Paul. If you don’t want to do anything that drastic, I can always recommend a few of his books, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians and a few others being very good!
😀
thank you
