[Ghostinthehouse]

First it was Alex with his prayer with Stephen. Then Jonas says he wants to 'take a step' towards God through the Bible when he gets out of the CBB house. And today Stephanie cries at the thought of not having the Bible and says she felt God through her.

It has to be said that the HMs who are having those thoughts are the happiest HMs. In fact this year's CBB is the most funny and happy ever with far less trouble and bad feeling in it. Stephen's faith has been a good influence on the CBB house and the HMs.

No one can disagree with that!

I think everyone was happy once Sov left the house!

I don't believe for one minute that people like Jonas and Steph will pursue religion after they leave the house. Once they are back in the real world it will all be forgotten.

Alex? Well maybe... he seemed more receptive to Stephen's clumsy brainwashing!

I don't think it was so much about Religion for Steph I think she just liked to read it to break up the time and had become reliant on it.

Good point. lol.

I think they will. Jonas needs direction in his life and Step needs to get away from her busy lifestyle and to help her daughter with her addiction. Maybe Step's new faith will help her daughter?

Stephen wasn't brainwashing. That is a strong accusation. Brainwashing is entirely different to what Stephen was doing. He was just setting a good example and letting others follow his lead if they wanted to. If he was brainwashing people they would all have said things, and don't forget, Alex, Jonas and Step have all stated different reasons for their new faith - that is NOT like any form of brainwashing.

No. Remember how she has said the spirit of God went through her, that isn't just reading a book etc.

You and Gavin should get together OP - or is this a hint we've been wound up again PRESIDENT?

And so the whole point behind the catastrophe that is Ghostinthehouse suddenly becomes clear ...

Stephanie is 62. I doubt she's suddenly found God on CBB!

And I suggest the harmony in the house had more to do with the fact that the pecking order was instantly established. Vinnies the Daddy, no arguement. Saved a lot of power struggles and jockeying for position.

LOL.

People of 62 can still think!

What has her age got to do with it? That doesn't make any sense what you're saying.

Except Dane is playing the 'everyman' - submissive to Vinnie but gradually building on the others. He's watched BB before and knows this game.

Nope, anyone can disagree with anything that is said on this forum because a lot of posters on here talk b*ll*cks.
I'm pleased for them if Alex, Stephanie and Jonas have "found God", but in equal measure Stephen has probably turned thousands away because of his incessant bible bashing. If God is up there watching Stephen, it's probably with head in hands and sighing deeply.
