Lonelygirl15

I'm not liking the lack of subtlety and wit in the majority of the latest videos. However, I LOVED the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern video. I wish we could see more of that.

I mean, I love horror/suspense, moreso than the average person, but I was initially attracted to the LG15 videos because of the small clues (I started watching when people first spotted the Crowley video; it's the reason I started watching, actually) and the really likeable, smart girl. I loved the "Proving Science Wrong" videos, especially.

I hope they don't turn this into a "so-and-so religion is BAAAD" type of saga. If they have to do that, at least make it a fake religion. There's no need to step on others' religious beliefs to further one's own career, plus, I would cease to watch if that happened.

EDIT: I meant Crowley photo, not video.

I agree, there has been way too much religion pre-occupation. I am praying (haha) that after 10-12-06 we can get back to normal, eh guys? Please, please.

The series sure had a point early on, and that was to be entertaining. It garnered lots of fans without a necessary gimick like "what's her religion?!" Things like Proving Science Wrong were enjoyed by thousands for mere entertainment factor alone, nothing else. If they can go back to something like this post 10/12 then there certainly is a reason for it to exist. A linear plot is not necessary for LG to be great.

ive read this thread so many times

and i wonder if the creators take in what is being discussed.

when they began this ordeal im sure they didnt know what to expect, and after a certain twist was added a very vocal group was brought on board.

in the passing weeks since that certain twist you can definatly see lines being drawn, the few versus the many. and if you follow both lines you can see one side utterly hating the other side.

actually the line has been drawn by one side.

i know the creators enjoy the participation, from those who enjoy a darker side to those who enjoy a more intellectual debate side.

but when it comes down to it, i am seeing two groups distinctly forming

people who want to be immersed in all aspects of storytelling that has been spawned from this, and the controversy it includes,

and the people who are now aggravated that since it has been outed in media channels, with no mystery of the meta left.

creators all i can say is one group is with ya, following all sorts of stuff that in essence you created with your grand experiment, and another group is trying to find out who is running NoHoGirls.

I think that once more (as in additional) fan-spinoff projects like HSAOnline and SACRED are developed and get more involving, the old dinosaurs like me who love lonelygirl15 but loathe cassieiswatching may -- how shall I put this -- chill out a little.

As a thelemite, I wish to thank all of you. I didn't realize this post was here, but it's nice to see people standing up and defending a religion that isn't theirs.

I must say, it's the possibility that this will turn out to be a bash of Thelema that brought me here. Lonelygirl has a huge fan base...and a lot of them are young. I would hate to see some teen reading Crowley has been attacked because their peers saw lonelygirl, recognized Crowley, and thought it was satanic.

I myself have seen the consequences of our religion being identified as satanic up close and personal. We were raided by the police one night after a Gnostic Mass because the neighbors heard someone speaking loudly in what sounded like a foreign language to them. So, the police come in and see a bunch of guys sitting around in robes, end up smashing my friend's face against the door, and it was only when we called our lawyers that they desisted.

I've also seen cases where our members have been pulled over and had ritual knives and swords "confiscated". So, I'm worried of what could happen in similar cases by those that just don't know any better.

But, it's extremely gratifying to see people saying that they will stop watching if it begins bashing a real religion. For that, I thank all of you even though I know it has nothing to do with me as a person....it has to do with the fact you're good people.

i liked LG at first becase her vlogs were so entertaining.

all the religous stuff is cool, but i wish some of her new vids were like her old ones
