100 thoughts on “WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY? — Full Movie”
Xmas and Halloween which both involve giving have roots in American slavery. The slave owners would allow time off and give slaves stuff. The slaves had off as long as the Yule log burned.
Veblen, over a century ago, came up with the concept of conspicous waste the gaining of status through waste. The President flies around in a 747 to meetings which produce nothing and the head of the Russian church wears a watch which costs as much as a house when his cell phone functions as a clock. There is a woman who owns several expensive homes but lives in a hospital for $400k a year. Good news! The Pope has moved out into a cheaper place.
at around 3 minutes,— so it's okay when a lady says she loves her ring more than her husband, but when a man says he loves his truck or classic car more than he loves his wife, it's a big no-no! it's trouble waiting to happen. Why do women get away with this?
"Don't touch me elmo" I thought religion was fucked up, till I heard MM is the antichrist What I want is pet dragon, someone to love, to be loved, something that no amount of money could ever buy, and that's what christmas is all about
Thank you! You are not alone. Many people feel as you do. You DO make an impact. Thank you for doing all you do to help people to wake up. Don't be discouraged! We support you!!!!
I love this film! You and your crew are such an inspiration! I watched this again last night and have decided that it will be a Christmas tradition to watch it every year, just like The Grinch!
OK, just wanted to let you know that I finished the English captions and the Bulgarian translation of the movie. I really hope you do make a difference Reverend 🙂
don't ever give up, and come to the UK before we get in the same state as the US. Those poor people who thought they were showing love by consuming. How sad:(
This is gross… The people screaming as they run into the stores… It makes me think of screeching animals… Apes or something… But that freaky blonde preacher? Really not helping the cause… He sounds crazed.
Great initiative, but there is nothing wrong with shopping if you buy the right thing, like trees from Better Globe. These trees are planted in East-Africa's drylands to maximize the environmental and social impact. Not only do they help poor communities and the environment, they even give a profit to those who buy, or receive them as a gift. Keep shopping, but shop sustainable!

I just watched "What Would Jesus Buy?" and I feel very moved by it. I just started my MBA in Sustainable Systems, and there was specifically a part in the bonus features called "The 10 Commandments Are Made In China" and it absolutely blew me away and changed my life. Can you please make it available on youtube so that I can share it with others?
Thank you for all you do to help us Americans live within our means!
This Billy guy is probably banned from more places than I am, I wish he would stop consuming so much of that hairspray, it's destroying the ozone layer. As good as his hair looks and it does look good, it's not worth the price of earth's protective shield.
@Billy Talen If you had Jesus invited over to your place to spend #christmas with you & your #family & #friends it could get awkward after all it is his birthday too & what do you get someone you know definitely has everything? #jokeoftheday
THat preacher guy appears as just an entertainer.. practicing his performance and getting "performance advice" from his "agent" ? Of course I agree with the overall sentiment, , and sure, I don't doubt his sincerity, but how can I take this guy seriously with his just "selling" prepackaged morality with all the "fire and brimstone" trappings for Christmas, instead of Macy's goods. So… what would Jesus think ? Perhaps it's not entirely unexpected in America, and Rev Billy is of course a product of his environment, but far too many folks go on Sundays to be "entertained" for a couple of hours .. the only difference seems to be instead of magic tricks it's "God".. Perhaps a leftover from the old Barnum and Bailey "religious circus" tent revivals format . And if they can slip a little "Goddin' ", and maybe a few "Lawd Jesus Ah-mighty" hollers, so much the better…
So I don't mean to appear unduly critical, after all it's a good film, and point is well made. Perhaps I just see things differently .. I just kleep thinking that the Angels usually said the "Peace of the Lord be with you".. not the "hoopin and hollering of the Lawd be with you" 🙂
THANK YOU, BILLY AND THE COIR OF THE CHURCH OF STOP SHOPPING!!! You are herions and heros, luminaries and (r)evolutionaries!!! All of us who dream of a brighter future for the earth and for humanity to continue being able to inhabit it, are with you~
500% ?! If only! Fast food CEO are hauling in 110,000% above average fast worker pay.
500% would actually be closer to what most people think is fair. In America the actual number over all is around 30,000% above average worker pay, in the 70's the number was closer to 2,900%.
Better be careful with that statement Billy Talen. Don't want to speak on behalf of our Heavenly Messenger without asking his blessing. I would say Jesus would go with me to eat krispy kreme doughnuts on opening day of the restaurant and then ask me what I wish to be declared clean in society that is not currently declared clean at the moment and then tell me a cleaner way of balancing out the chemical embalances in society without creating a problem with worldly authorities.
I try to post this every year before Christmas. The people in my family still don't get why I don't buy cards for the birthdays. Why I don't want to buy ANOTHER toy for nephew and niece. Why I don't ask for much for myself. Hopefully one day they will actually sit down and watch this too. Thanks for what you do Rev Billy!
The simple message of Stop Shopping comes as a serious threat to the system. It also exposes the non-virtuous inhumanity of unbridled capitalism at the individual level. It confronts the naked consumerism that has hijacked religious concepts of love and sharing. The real question is would Jesus support the capitalist system that distorts Gods word to line the pockets of the few, while enslaving the masses with debt. Dealing with the "money changers" (capitalists of the time) was the only time Jesus physically lashing out against the system of men. In all reality, capitalism is not the problem, it is the unconscious shopper who is blinded by desire, and avoids taking responsibility for what and how they consume. These sheeple are baptized in the religion of Madison Ave. and the belief that happiness, confidence, and personal virtue resides in products. This is not consistent with humanity, or Jesus's teachings of love and contribution to others.
it's is a good message, especially for this generation. Jesus said money was the root of evil. It's to bad the leader of that church acts like a sleazy televangelist when he's on stage. It detracts from the importance of the message itself.
Love this, but they are a little hard on specific businesses. I mean, the problem of unethical outsourcing is pervasive. Just switching off Walmart, Disney, and Starbucks won't address the problem. But I love the "where is it made, where is it sold" criteria. That is a great start. And good lord, we don't need all this junk, amen!
I have watched this every Christmas since it came out. I still tell people about it every Christmas. I still love this message. Thanks, to all the people who made this movie because… it needed to be made. I love ya'all. God Bless you.
This is my Christmas tradition every year I watch this to remind myself to give simple gifts instead of overspending on things to which at the end most people don't want it at all. Just buy food… there is no thinking with that. Everyone eats fruits and vegetables, as well as use toilet paper. . ^_^ Save tons because of it.
The part of the couple with the tiny dog though… WHHHHAAAT!?! O_O I love my dog, but he is a furry brother who enjoys food over material shit. >_<~ This must be a white people thing, because I never seen blacks or Hispanics do this at all.
…Then there is me who buys a few gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and winter holidays in October, just to avoid the crowd. I barely leave the house when there is too many people, sooo antisocial. XD (Thank you Kimberly Clark for sending me here!)
Xmas and Halloween which both involve giving have roots in American slavery. The slave owners would allow time off and give slaves stuff. The slaves had off as long as the Yule log burned.
Sharing the hell out of this.
Any way to get rid of that damned Macy's ad that plays before the movie?
Veblen, over a century ago, came up with the concept of conspicous waste the gaining of status through waste. The President flies around in a 747 to meetings which produce nothing and the head of the Russian church wears a watch which costs as much as a house when his cell phone functions as a clock.

Funny that there is a Black Friday add before this.
Jesus wouldn't have to buy anything, kings would walk everywhere to give him things.
Make sure you click on any ads (But don't shop!) so Rev. Billy can get some money.
WWJB? Wood probably, seeing as he was a carpenter..
What would jesus buy? Probably he would buy hookers and blow. I know I would.
Yae!
they should make W.W.J.B. bracelets.
at around 3 minutes,—
so it's okay when a lady says she loves her ring more than her husband, but when a man says he loves his truck or classic car more than he loves his wife, it's a big no-no! it's trouble waiting to happen. Why do women get away with this?
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary.
"Don't touch me elmo"
I thought religion was fucked up, till I heard MM is the antichrist
What I want is pet dragon, someone to love, to be loved, something that no amount of money could ever buy, and that's what christmas is all about

I'm changing religions! Changeallujah!
This is fantastic!
What would the Magi think?
righteous
good one
"Roxanne Elizabeth… Roxanne Elizabeth…"
Sublime.
He's right, people should let those greedy fuckers' products rot in those shops.
OK, just wanted to let you know that I finished the English captions and the Bulgarian translation of the movie. I really hope you do make a difference Reverend 🙂

A lexus SUV and gold chains?
@Richard Raspberry @stateofdaniel @AWResistance @TheAntManChannel @Jackie Price @Philosophical Vlogs @TheCaptainSlappy @MisterThomasPAINE2 @BeranM @Rocking MrE @EkonRekon @donze52 Thought you guys would enjoy:)@psychodrilla @PsycheTruth
Jesus would buy a Xbox 360 and play Call of Duty 2: Black Ops…right? Or is he a Zelda fan?

LOVE the color of the robes they wore going into Starbucks. Keep up your good work!

This is so wonderful and in parts it made me cry…hilariously on point~!
Watched this movie a time or two before, it seems appropriate time to watch it again, I would highly recommend this movie to so many people!
Dear Reverend Billy,
I just watched "What Would Jesus Buy?" and I feel very moved by it. I just started my MBA in Sustainable Systems, and there was specifically a part in the bonus features called "The 10 Commandments Are Made In China" and it absolutely blew me away and changed my life. Can you please make it available on youtube so that I can share it with others?
Thank you for all you do to help us Americans live within our means!

The idea is good. Too bad the spokesman looks like such a con man — dyed hair, fake clerical get-up, commercial choir
@Billy Talen If you had Jesus invited over to your place to spend #christmas with you & your #family & #friends it could get awkward after all it is his birthday too & what do you get someone you know definitely has everything? #jokeoftheday
inspiring. don't give up.
Just amazing! So important !
That…hair..mesmerizing!
these people are so awesome. These are what real, genuine people look like folks.
This was VERY profound.

A-fucking-men, Revrend Billy.
Amen to that.

Fabulous.
Great Movie!
I love how the first lie many parents tell their children is the lie about Christmas…
is it responsible to advertise to children?

"We just baptized a child, did you see that?"
"What a nice man."
"You can take me to jail now."
love this movie
STOP SHOPPING!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the captions! There are so many good movies the hearing impaired can not enjoy. May you be blessed
Amen. Thank you.
I have just one word to sum up this behavior: REEDONKULOUS!
jesus is a silly bitch
use to be you had to be rich to have a credit card…..
21:08 "I'm a pretty smart girl" yeah alright kiddo
This video has so much impact, I watch it every Christmas with my daughter.
Thank you SO much Rev.Billy. You are truly a blessing.
This guy may not be a real preacher but he is a American savior. How lost we are in our lust for stuff. It has brought our society down.
I think the guy in the description means Apocalyptic Problems. Great Movie though.
Nazi Flag /// Santa Claus Claw$ /// White / Red / Black /// Revelation 7;11 /// DOA Xhri$tma$

ABout the only thing i'm watching for the ha!lidays. May God Bless the Reverend Billy and his Choir. And i do mean that as a question.
7: 15: somewhere between JIMMY SWAGGART and Father GUIDO SARDUCCI.
Brilliantly done Reverend Billy. What a great crusade you're on, I love it 🙂

Absolutely brilliant, funny and engaging throughout

The price Jesus paid was His life, His blood to bring us to Him.
There's an ad before this, wtf…
The first song is awesome.
Thanks Kimberly Clark for directing me here.
Who else is here from Kim's channel?
what you get gifts at christmas, wow my parents never let our family in on this secret lol
Love this, but they are a little hard on specific businesses. I mean, the problem of unethical outsourcing is pervasive. Just switching off Walmart, Disney, and Starbucks won't address the problem. But I love the "where is it made, where is it sold" criteria. That is a great start. And good lord, we don't need all this junk, amen!
If Jesus was a carpenter he could just make all his own gifts instead of buying them. Or if he was a fisherman he could go fishing for everybody.
Thank you for your film. I am giving the link to it to my children for Christmas, along with a jar of home-made jam.
I came from Kimberly Clark's channel as well. It really does put things in perspective.
I agree with everything here, except the derision of Disneyland. Evangelical Christians should warm up to Disneyland. Walt was a good man.
I have watched this every Christmas since it came out. I still tell people about it every Christmas. I still love this message. Thanks, to all the people who made this movie because… it needed to be made. I love ya'all. God Bless you.
My favorite holiday movie. "You don't have to buy a gift to give a gift."
Here from Kimberly Clark. WOW! and AMEN Reverend.
Thank you Kimberly Clark!! I see quite a few people here, myself included from your suggestion. You are doing good work!!!
Came from Kimberly clarks channel!!! How does this not have more views
Good morning from Singapore! I wish you'd have a great evening =)
For a bunch of Christians, you sure are making a lot of sense.
This film is a Godsend.
This is my Christmas tradition every year I watch this to remind myself to give simple gifts instead of overspending on things to which at the end most people don't want it at all. Just buy food… there is no thinking with that. Everyone eats fruits and vegetables, as well as use toilet paper. . ^_^ Save tons because of it.

ENV100 where u at
Love how Disneyland tried to arrest him for free speech.
Ah yes fighting terrorism!
1:12:00 can someone please give context?
Go Now, and Sin No More….
Roxanne elizabeth, Roxanne Elizabeth… Bless the Child!…
what a nice man! Love the parking lot baptism.
Idiots…
…Then there is me who buys a few gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and winter holidays in October, just to avoid the crowd. I barely leave the house when there is too many people, sooo antisocial. XD (Thank you Kimberly Clark for sending me here!)
