And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to
mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: And behold joy
and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and
drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. And it
was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord God of hosts. Isaiah 22:12-14
“There is need for every soul to study the Pattern, Christ Jesus.
Those
who follow his methods of labor will have freedom in utterance and
earnestness in manner.
They will be inspired by the sacred themes of
truth.
Christ understood the needs of all classes, and was successful in
preaching the gospel to the poor. He understood all their temptations.
We need to study methods whereby we may preach the gospel to the poor
and downtrodden and degraded of humanity. But
let no one think that God will approve of a method which will require a
man to act the part of a clown, or like a man who has lost his senses.
Such methods as these are wholly unnecessary and inappropriate” (Signs of the Times, March 19, 1894/E.G.W.).
But it now seems that Bozo the Clown has been given the task
of carrying out the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.
Today, we now
have ADRA and Hope Channel clowns whose job is to act like fools,
literally.
These comedians are constantly making jokes and acting like
buffoons wherever they go. They are called “Doctors of Hope,” but
they
have no medical training. They have actually taken special training on
how to act like clowns. The costumes and distinct clown makeup come
complete with an ADRA patch on one arm and a Hope Channel patch on the
other.

They act and speak as though they have mental disabilities while making
jokes about women’s intimate apparel. Additionally, you’ll witness the
music and dancing they perform in the hospitals. Nothing spiritual or
sacred is happening here; all that is going on is the same godless
entertainment found in our world’s party scenes."
