natan4jesus... everyone needs to see this!

Hey everyone... our brother Neil (otherwise known as Natan4Jesus) has an alternative personality that only a few of us know about. He has not let this little secret out because he, in my opinion, is a very modest person.

However he shared these videos with me, and I begged him to let me post these... and he finally relented. I told him that you all would get a good laugh from these videos because I sure did.

This is Neil starring as "Florus Workman" on the short lived Jeff Foxworthy Show... and Neil steals every single scene! This stuff is FUNNY. (keep in mind this was a couple years before Neil got saved. Nothing dirty... don't worry)

Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you my brother-in-Christ... Neil aka Natan4Jesus aka Florus Workman!! Enjoy...

...the deer hunting scenes are the best part!!

Enid... the British have a sense of humor?? :-)

By the way, Foxworthy is just a small part of the acting career that Neil had back in the day. He was in numerous movies and also wrote and starred in one of Chicago theater's most popular plays of all time about former mayor Daily.

I think it's really cool that Neil has hung out here for years letting us get to know "Neil" to brother in Christ... before telling some of us about his alter-personality. He is anything but a celebrity. He's just Neil. The same guy I spent a lot of time arguing with on here... and learning to love like a brother.

Sorry Neil to let the cat out of the bag... but it's about time! :-)

Let's just say British humour is spelt differently and understood differently from American humor.

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say that the show really represents American humor as a whole, but yeah, it is different than a fair majority of British humor (which I love, by the way).

My kids loved the advice he gave Jeff concerning how NOT to kill the Turkey...

Neil is a hoot in these videos.

Krispy

As long as he doesn't show up with Florus hygeine!! lol

Krispy

Ginny... howdy to you too. Been a tough summer, but I survived.

Krispy

you got me!

btw, i, personally thought, that baring ownership of some blot cutters, shooting the lock off was the best option. did that episode, the hunting episode, all the interiors with a 103 fever, and i wasnt following Jesus yet, but i DO remember praying to God for help in getting thru that show, and He got me thru.

i shall now receed........

The original response I wrote here concerning dismissing sin kinda missed the point, so I will re-write it.

I posted this because I am proud of Neil. He walked away from a lot when God called him out. He is a talented actor and starred in a lot of movies, etc... and gave his life to the Lord.

This was not posted to "wink" at sin, or whatever it was that you accused me of. If you think that, then shame on you. Thats just an ignorant statement on your part. The fact is some of us are proud of Neil. We love him. He's our brother. And I thought it would be a nice gesture to let some people in on the fact that a lot of us have actually "known" Neil for a lot longer than just on SI... and did not realize it.

And furthermore... yes, those videos are funny.

Some people on here love to get all huffy "in the name of the Lord" and prove to everyone how righteous and holy they are. I know because I have been like that A LOT on here. It's nothing but self righteous pride (otherwise known as sin).

So I will give you the same advice others have given to me on this forum (and they were absolutely correct): Get over yourself.

Krispy

I am proud of Neil too. He is a dear brother in Christ and He loves the Lord with all of his heart and he is sincere and real and I count it a privelege to call him a brother and a friend..........brither Frank

Once I saw how dangerous Neil was with a gun in these videos... yikes! Glad we did make peace!! lol

Actually, years before I ever met Neil on here I saw these episodes of Foxworthy on TV and "Florus Workman" was my favorite character on the show. Mainly because I actually know some people like that (sad to say I'm related to some of them! It's a shallow gene pool in some places!).

So here I come upon SI 6 yrs ago and run smack into Neil. Our first argument was over Bible versions... and it went downhill from there. The only topic we ever agreed on was guns... we both are gun enthusiasts and hunters. And God used that as "common ground".

After awhile we both grew up a little bit and started to talk more and get to know each other... and things settled down between us. We still disagreed, even to this day on certain things. But a real friendship developed.

And then Neil revealed a little secret to me one day... I dont remember how it came about, but he told me about doing some acting on Foxworthy. I asked which character and he said "Florus Workman".

I was floored! At first I didnt believe him. And then he told me about some movies he was in... and I was like "Dude... I know who you are!"

Now granted, Neil did not reach Tom Cruise status in Hollywood, and it's a good thing he didnt because those people become so in love with themselves that they can not hear the voice of God. But for years Neil has been involved here without ever telling anyone who he was... and I think that says a lot about his character. Also, he didnt want everyone liking him because of his "celebrity" or his background.

Like I said, Neil is Neil. And as you can all see from the videos, he is immensly talented.

And as I said, I let the cat out of the bag (after making sure it was ok with Neil) to show a) Neil's talents (altho these barely scratch the surface! I would have loved to have seen the Chicago play he wrote, directed and acted in)... and b) show that God is an amazing God and He works in the lives of His people.

Oh... and c) I wanted to pay tribute to my brother like no other in Christ before I fall off the radar here at SI.

Steve,

This is another idle threat.

You know the moderators have not really appreciated your sense of humor.

You remember that April's fool post you made that almost got you banned.

You vowed that you would never post again - but you did.

Saying that you will fall off the radar is just your way of getting attention.

You could not stop posting even if you re-vowed again.

Blessings on you... "tuc"... whoever you are.

Krispy

I originally wrote a response about the accusations "tuc" leveled at me... but ya know what? Anyone here who knows me can see this for what it is.

And I did do an April Fools joke on here 5 years ago when "tuc" was apparently operating under a different name. I still think it was funny, but Greg did not and lovingly corrected me. I did not vow to leave because of that. Thats a lie.

But whatever... there are much more important things in life than to get upset over someone who is obviously hiding and has some sort of beef with me. Get over it... I love you! Jesus loves you. Dont be so bitter, life is too short... trust me! You dont want to learn that the hard way.
