Went to www. adventconspiracy.org to see what the promoters have to say. I was a little surprised by what I saw on the first page of a website by an organization that has bylines like "spend less" and "give more". What I saw was an advertisement, under the "News" banner no less, to "Get 50% off the Advent Conspiracy Book and DVD". The very next item under the "News" heading was another advertisment to sell something, again promoting "The Advent Conspiracy". This seems a little self-serving and hypocritical to me. The advertisements could have at least been put on a link to another page on the website. I guess it's OK to "spend more" while "spending less", as long as it is a "just" cause.

12:55 PMIt is ironic huh?

1:00 PMBut do you really think a group of people who desire that the true purpose of Christmas would be amplified through all the noise of our societies consumeristic traditions just want to make a quick buck?

1:05 PMThe true purpose aside, it leaves the impression of "do what I say, not what I do".

3:55 PMThe logic doesn't follow though. Advent Conspiracy exists as a organization behind the movement to provide support to "fan the flame". This would include the distribution of educational resources.
The individuals who were a part of the organization would be communicating "do what I say, not what I do" if they embraced consumerism and societies "traditions" surrounding Christmas instead of centering their hearts and lives around worshipful exaltation of the incarnation of Jesus, our Savior and King.
