    I kind of feel sorry for that lad. He needs to see a psychologist.

    Worth watching, I laughed many times.
    Here's some choice quotes from it I can remember offhand
    Yes Luv, I did see mother mary
    =Joe at the scene talking to a reporter with apparently very poor eyesight
    The RCC is not a superstitious organisation
    = A Skeptical Priest
    That €40 fee was for a psychic reading, not for you to see the apparition
    = Joe
    I'm a light worker
    =Joe

    BTW JC = Joe Coleman .... how cool is that!

    My fav' quote happened in the first few minutes where he stated that he has a photo in which Jesus is clearly visable amongst the clouds. He then says that a lot of people cannot see it and that you need to turn the photo on its side and squint a bit.
    Not exactly a text book definition of 'clearly visable'.

    Favourite line - 'Have you died and gone to Heaven, cos you're looking at a man who has' while he was arguing with the other Christians in Knock. No point contradicting humble Joe on anything he says, he's got his knowledge straight from the horses mouth!

    Who were those weird handmaidens in the full on white outfits & gloves? Were they nuns or just Knock lay workers?

    Dunno, do you mean the two hotty twins who were interviewed, they had been going to Joe's house for a "course" in angels or something, and he even gave them a certificate at the end.

    I think they're just lady caretakers of the Shrine

    It would, however, be a textbook definition of pareidolia

    Mary: Joe you have to go to Knock!
    Joe: That's very awkward for me. I don't fly so I'll have to get a train.

    I wonder did he not trust 'our Lady' to keep him safe on a plane.

    Thing is, this man is clearly not well and it is an absolute disgrace that we allow the media gain from this. Im sorry but its just wrong. Whatever about the sanity of people who believe in god, but JC is clearly mentally inbalanced and i certainly dont find that entertaining. Theres no place for this sort of programme on television. I know a guy who sees leprechauns, would we allow RTE to film him?

    That's the thing, when a guy sees Leprechauns he is (rightly) ignored and dismissed as a nutter. Replace Leprechauns with angels, virgin Mary etc. and suddenly the guy has a small army of deluded followers and starts raking in the cash.

    Leprechauns are extinct though, anyone who says they're seeing them is just fcuked in the head. goblins on the other hand, they exist, they steal your socks, but only ever the left one, whats with that?
