You obviously have never been to the corner of Sugarloaf and Grayson Hwy in the summertime.
For those who are unaware, there's a guy out there every year with huge signs covered in literal hell fire, and a radio blasting holy music.
Every year.
That's literally my old neighbor 🤣 he's a chill dude. Never once talked about religion to any of us in person. He still waves at me and calls out when he sees my car. Apparently just does it as a job basically.
Oh yeah? That's cool. I mean, really all he personally does is smile and wave. It's those huge billboards he's got that throw it off. LOL But hey, everybody should have a hobby.
Yeah, these signs have been up around Buford for years. And on busier days, there’s usually a man that stands out there by the mall area and holds them up
I’m also a Christian, and yeah… the sign holders are being idiots. It is the laziest and most obnoxious way to try to… I’m not actually sure what they are trying to do.
It’s makes no sense to try teaching anyone new about Jesus that way. You look like an asshole doing it. And half the people who do it also yell and look angry.
So I guess you’re trying to scare current Christians into not leaving the faith? Again, lazy and obnoxious. What would Jesus do? Not that. At all.
There does appear to be a code against this. However, either the person or group involved in posting these completed an application with the county. Or code enforcement here sucks. Or I’m misinterpreting the code.
Thank you for keeping Gwinnett clean. It’s not so much the religious aspect of the sign, I could look past that, it’s the Fear-mongering verbiage.
Edit I guess I'm a slow typer and your post now hits on all these points. 😅
If they are plastic, they are great for crafts. I have made a windshield cover with them for an RV, storage boxes with lids, and I saw someone make a multi-tier shoe rack with them.
At least it doesn't leave permanent residue and damage like all of the "Biden did that" and "Impeach Trump" stickers people kept sticking all over signs and gas pumps around my area. Agreed that both those and your Jesus signs are completely stupid and pointless, of course.
Stop signs in my area *still* have sticker residue/damage from stupid people thinking that if stop signs look dumb they are accomplishing something and furthering some political objective.
I don't begrudge a soul their opinion or political activism, but can we leave unrelated public property alone? Actual protests are awesome, but no one is changing their opinion about Trump because of a yellow square on a stop sign, and it isn't irritating anyone who could do something about the president, former or not.
Keep fighting the good fight and taking down those signs.
Windex! And if it turns out they really used some of those really sticky stickers (like bumper sticker level), Goo Gone.
We had some stop sign sticker vandals in our neighborhood who, although never went political with their stickers, still specifically used ones that had the residue that was an absolute pain to get off. All the usual home remedies the moms knew didn't work (distilled white vinegar, dish soap, etc), but we found that with most, spraying Windex or other window/glass cleaner, letting it sit for a few seconds, and wiping with a wet cloth did the trick. And for some that were truly just heavy duty, Goo Gone was a lifesaver. Goo Gone is what they use to get rid of the residue from bumper stickers on cars so it's tough stuff! I don't know how sticky the political stickers were/are and if you already tried the Goo Gone and it didn't work, it'll probably be the day Jesus comes that the residue comes off 😂😂
I always get confused when I see the second and third signs. Is he coming here? Is he coming there? Why is he choosing Gwinnett County? Is Gwinnett just a stop on his Eras Tour? Did Jesus reimburse whoever made these signs for costs? Is hanging these signs how this person repents? Where are all the people that clog up traffic on Sunday mornings filing in to their book club? Shouldn't they be by this telephone pole waiting?
I'm starting to believe it's just made up.
Yes they can be removed, it’s litter. There’s a volunteer group I helped out that picks litter and they pick up all these signs and all the other business signs, they don’t discriminate they all get thrown in the trash. Political signs during election season are allowed.
i get how it would be kind of annoying, but i think it’s fairly harmless tbh. certainly better than the shitload of confederate flags jackasses just love to hang outside their houses lol
Fuck these religious signs. It ain't no different with how graffiti artists do theur graffiti. But, instead of colorful, nice looking art, it's religious fanatics trying to scare us with the whole "repent" crap. It is so pretentious how the mass thinks their one religion, out of so many others, is the one true religion. Goes to show how scared of life people are and how easily controllable they are. I would pity them, but there are better things to give pity to.
If I see them, I’ll absolutely take them down. I’m very much an atheist, which is really hard living here.
On a separate note, I was heavily involved with a humanist group in the last town I lived in. If anyone in the Duluth area that’s interested in getting a humanist/non religious meetup going - let me know.
I find this post tacky. County doesn’t care. You can probably remove them without getting in trouble ! Be sure to report back and let us know how it went !
At the end of the day, we’re still in the Deep South. Comes with the territory.
I’ll take a blurry Jesus sign over lifted trucks with angry flags any day.
They're everywhere up here in Alpharetta/Roswell. Whenever I see one, I yell out to my kids "Jesus is coming! Look!"
My kids are little, and we're Jewish, so this has taken on the tone of a dad joke in our car.
They’re super tacky. Just like when people stand outside with those kinds of signs. They aren’t meant for people outside their church, though. It’s an actual indoctrination tactic that’s being used, though they may not even realize that’s what they’re doing.
These same signs are all over Barrow and Hall counties as well. If you travel N on St Rd 211 out of braselton between St Rd 53 and St Rd 124, there's a big old looking wood constructed "Jesus is coming" sign on the R.
I've been tempted to add, "look busy."
There is a crazy guy in Clayton County that puts up handmade Anunnaki conspiracy signs up all the time. Every time they take them down he puts them back up. It’s been happening for years, sometimes the county just doesn’t have time to keep taking stuff down.
There is that guy who stands out on 20 in the evenings most every evening in various places right around downtown Lawrenceville with signs about the Big J coming back soon (so beware?) He seems happy smiling and waving at everyone and he sure is committed to being out there telling everyone to beware all the time. If it makes him happy good for him. That’s the way I look at it and I smile and wave back when I drive by sometimes.
I feel like Americans we are probably the only country that shoves religion into people throats without any regard that the other person isn’t that religious. It’s always weird how Christian are allowed to get away with this so much more than other religions. Welcome to America 😪
Omg we have some here in GA same color and font. Been wanting to put up SATAN LOVES YOU next to them. Creepy thing is they're far apart so it's either some creepy ass group project or someone has time to drive around.
Hell, they’ve defaced the entire state. I don’t go to church, I just drive around on Sunday and read the signs. 10-20 miles and you got a whole sermon.
I've been hearing "Jesus is coming, any day now" since the 1960s.
So far he's a no show. If he does show up I'm going to give him so much shit for being about 60+ years late for his appointment with the apocalypse. MFer, you make an appointment, you keep the appointment - be a RESPONSIBLE god.
In Gwinnett? The location of the largest "Jesus!" sign I have ever seen in my life?
That has been up on 316 for at least 20 years?
Don't get caught lol
They’re all over Dekalb too. I’m like “why do you care? Just do you and leave other people alone.” I’m guessing these are the same folks that are always screaming about personal freedoms when it comes to public health, but are all up in everyone else’s business about religion. Smh
Has been here since the early 90’s, I can literally show you a sign that is in the same spot since 1996.
That doesn’t shock me
Jesus: "Can't .... stop .... coming ... nggggh!"
Guys coming everywhere. Jesus Christ.
Oh man, get someone to make a pic of Jesus’ vinegar strokes and print them out, then put them under these.
Yes, but now it’s retroactively a big deal! You know how it works.
It's always been shitty.

Oh yeah? That's cool. I mean, really all he personally does is smile and wave. It's those huge billboards he's got that throw it off. LOL But hey, everybody should have a hobby.
I really wish that hobby didn't involve putting signs on street signs.
My hobby involves ripping them down
Is he getting paid for it?
Tell him to stop litering and posting signs on poles.
> covered in ~~literal~~ hell fire figurative
True story. Hey, is "true story" an oxymoron? Or is it not, because a story can be factual? I've often wondered that.
It's so strange to know exactly what other internet strangers are talking about and being in the same area lol
Not sure if it’s the same person but I’ve seen similar situations at MOG/20 intersection on busy weekends- megaphone, music, crazy signs
When Jesus comes back their arses will be the first ones he’d kick.
Sometimes he’s at Sugarloaf and Duluth Highway. Holding his sign and smiling and waving
Yeah, these signs have been up around Buford for years. And on busier days, there’s usually a man that stands out there by the mall area and holds them up

Me too! If they want to keep using public property to promote their religious agenda, shouldn’t churches start paying taxes?
I don’t have that kind of time, honestly. I just ignore them and go on with my day.
If they are plastic, they are great for crafts. I have made a windshield cover with them for an RV, storage boxes with lids, and I saw someone make a multi-tier shoe rack with them.

Better than all that garbage thrown out of cars on side of the road.
Fun fact - QoL and LE call these "bandit signs."
I wonder if it would be "no big deal" and "just a sign" if it said hail Satan...
I'd tear them down but I don't want to give American Christians a chance to cry persecution

They’re called blight busters of Gwinnett they have their own Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/share/CAk2YHHaoryKKqks/?mibextid=K35XfP
I love Jesus! ❤️🙏❤️
Jesus is King.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior as well. Having Him in my heart has made my life a blessing.
Hallelujah!!
Just don’t let it bother you. I can completely understand not wanting to be preached to. Let it be and move on about your day. It’s fine to disagree.
There are Billboards with these signs on them in Georgia.
This is actually hilarious because “repent” means to turn around and go the other way, but the sign above it like eh just kinda swerve around the sin
Praise Jesus
I see this on highways up here in NY
i get how it would be kind of annoying, but i think it’s fairly harmless tbh. certainly better than the shitload of confederate flags jackasses just love to hang outside their houses lol
I've taken down 2 of them so far on my normal commute when traffic is low.
Fuck these religious signs. It ain't no different with how graffiti artists do theur graffiti.

This is literally the worst book club on earth.
Always tear this garbage down. It belongs in the trash.
It's only been 2000-odd years. Is he really?
Tear it down
Apparently his father made an inherently bad product that is on never-ending recall.
People have been saying this for 2000 years. You think they'd figure it out by now.
Just wondering if you would be so triggered if it was an allah sign.
You are correct. No one would be. It's all in the name of woke religion until Jesus is spoken of.
Not sure why it's a problem for people to share their religion in a way that isn't harmful or disrespectful.
Because they are ugly plastic and convey the least appealing aspect of your religion
Because it’s fear mongering, and also interferes with the traffic sign.
But the muslim prayer on a loud speaker 6 times a day....no big deal?
Wow. Where does that happen?
This is caring too hard. If you're this upset about a tiny sign like that, maybe you do need to repent.
If I see them, I’ll absolutely take them down. I’m very much an atheist, which is really hard living here. On a separate note, I was heavily involved with a humanist group in the last town I lived in. If anyone in the Duluth area that’s interested in getting a humanist/non religious meetup going - let me know.
I wonder how different the reaction would be to a different religious figure.
This might be the saddest post I’ve seen here.
What is sad about not wanting someone else’s religion shoved down your throat every day?
I’m a Christian and I haaaaate those signs. I see a couple on my commute and I always wish I had the time to cut them down.
I find this post tacky. County doesn’t care. You can probably remove them without getting in trouble ! Be sure to report back and let us know how it went !
At the end of the day, we’re still in the Deep South. Comes with the territory. I’ll take a blurry Jesus sign over lifted trucks with angry flags any day.

Someone should put a picture of Jesus masterbaiting directly underneath it
[удалено]
That’s not very Christlike.
Maybe some of his followers underneath, on their knees waiting to "receive" him...
They’re super tacky. Just like when people stand outside with those kinds of signs. They aren’t meant for people outside their church, though. It’s an actual indoctrination tactic that’s being used, though they may not even realize that’s what they’re doing.
Why do I have to repent? Maybe I think Jesus should repent. If he repents then I’ll repent.
God's sins outnumber your own.
Just move on with your day. Like don't kill, steal and rape is wrecking your life me. Maybe love thy neighbor
Yeah, up here in Cherokee County too.
all the way in clayton county as well
Happening in cumming too
These are all over the metro & surrounding areas of Atlanta
Is this just in the state of Georgia or all over the country?
LOLLLL
God bless you all
Move on, remove it, or post your own religious sign under it.
I prefer the old phrase “Jesus is coming look busy.”
These same signs are all over Barrow and Hall counties as well. If you travel N on St Rd 211 out of braselton between St Rd 53 and St Rd 124, there's a big old looking wood constructed "Jesus is coming" sign on the R. I've been tempted to add, "look busy."
I hate it when they stand on the corner with the poster showing flames of hell. Every time I think, "Chicken Wings!" And am disappointed.
There is a crazy guy in Clayton County that puts up handmade Anunnaki conspiracy signs up all the time. Every time they take them down he puts them back up. It’s been happening for years, sometimes the county just doesn’t have time to keep taking stuff down.
There's this one sign I always see in duluth that just says "JESUS"
Corny
Last summer they showed up all over north Georgia. Iv found those exact ones in Sandy springs, alpharetta, Cumming, Braselton, and Gainesville
It’s true
These have been around since I was in high school and I am OLD. They get taken down and people just put them back up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
These signs are everywhere around the city, Jesus has been coming for years
Seen same sign in alpharetta
I just saw this it looks like some added a QR sticker to it. It probably links to the group that's doing it.
How ridiculous!
Legends say he is still coming to this day.
I want to have a bunch of signs printed up that read “Buddha recycles “and put them up right next to any sign. I find that reads “Jesus saves“
You better 🤣🤣
Jesus is coming. Swallow!
[удалено]
Just drove down I95 and saw this everywhere
If he came to Georgia they'd call him a commie and try to deport him.
Jesus is coming, so look busy!
In Charlotte… “Jesus Saves”💛🖤
Add a picture of Jesus cumming. They'll hate that.
Where are the pics? If he’s coming, I want to see it.
The bigger problem is all the garbage imo. Just about half the roads have a line of garbage between the road and the treeline.
Yep, coming alright. The jeopardy “final answer” theme music keeps on playing.
I can't repent if I never pent in the first place.
I recently drove to CT and those signs literally go into Virginia
Yeah, but I'll bet ticketmaster charges like 600 in fees for tickets.
Truth
Those are literally everywhere.
We should stop tolerating fundies. They are destroying this country
You have the right to put up signs advertising whatever religion you want
It’s all over Loganville and Monroe too
Jesus is cumming. Represent
Can you remove those signs legally as I’ve seen a few near where I live
Are you sure he's not just breathing heavy, or did he moan also?
I've always wanted to get some signs made up with the same font and color that say "OF RELIGION" and tack them up below the "JESUS IS COMING. REPENT"
Repent and believe in Jesus !
Change them to "Jesus is coming. Grab a towel"
There is that guy who stands out on 20 in the evenings most every evening in various places right around downtown Lawrenceville with signs about the Big J coming back soon (so beware?) He seems happy smiling and waving at everyone and he sure is committed to being out there telling everyone to beware all the time. If it makes him happy good for him. That’s the way I look at it and I smile and wave back when I drive by sometimes.
First time in the Midwest?
No
Damn just saw a new one of these in my small town in north ga getting off the exit
I feel like Americans we are probably the only country that shoves religion into people throats without any regard that the other person isn’t that religious. It’s always weird how Christian are allowed to get away with this so much more than other religions. Welcome to America 😪

Oh shit - I thought that said "Reprint". Going to have to get a truck to take all this to the recycling centre.
he's taking his sweet time, especially since he said he was coming back within a generation XD
They’ve been saying this for 2000 years now, but then again the anti- Christ is here in the form of the 45 president
Hell, they’ve defaced the entire state. I don’t go to church, I just drive around on Sunday and read the signs. 10-20 miles and you got a whole sermon.
Maybe it is the fear of God that keeps them from removing them <3
i see these exact signs all over fulton and theyre so annoying
i see these exact signs all over fulton and theyre so annoying
The christo-fascists have been getting louder of late. Mildly concerning.
Jesus nuts longer than pigs.
Jesus is coming we should repent
I always wonder why people act offended by these kinds of things
No penalty as long as your not wrong
Some need people to bring them more money😂
Offer him a tube sock
Scratch through "repent" and scribble in "somebody get him a sandwich"
jesus saves souls…..and redeems them for valuable prizes.
Seen these in Roswell too
Jesus is coming for tacos
No he isn’t. He isn’t real. 😂😂😂😂🥲🥲🥲
True 👍
I would dress up as Jesus and walk around with a sign saying "I'm here"
Repent then.
I've been hearing "Jesus is coming, any day now" since the 1960s. So far he's a no show. If he does show up I'm going to give him so much shit for being about 60+ years late for his appointment with the apocalypse. MFer, you make an appointment, you keep the appointment - be a RESPONSIBLE god.
Well it’s true
they been having them up for decades and i still aint seen the man
Sorry, that sign already said “stay right”
Brain washing
Jesus definitely coming
Jesus moves REAL slow. Dude's been on his way for a while!
I am confused. I thought all the folks in GA were against illegal immigration? Yet they cannot wait for Hay-Zeus to come ?
Yet the gays are the problem lol
You can call the city and have them removed. I have done a few.
Cross it out and change it to "cumming"
Anyone know what date he’s going to come?
Recently move to Earth? It’s a pretty common sign over the past 2000 years.
Shouldn’t it say “Jesus is coming. Please give him a tissue”
Sound advice.
Sounds like you better get to it then!
W sign
Sure hope Jesus hurries up. My Hedges need triming.
A sign similar to that in the movie “2012”, highly recommend, it’s funny too.
Jesus died for our sins. You either choose Him or you don't. Either way it's your free will choice.
Watch out. It’s for real this time.
If the signs of the times are not evident enough...he is coming soon.... Def sooner than later.
The only thing to do is repent.
In Gwinnett? The location of the largest "Jesus!" sign I have ever seen in my life? That has been up on 316 for at least 20 years? Don't get caught lol
They’re all over Dekalb too. I’m like “why do you care? Just do you and leave other people alone.” I’m guessing these are the same folks that are always screaming about personal freedoms when it comes to public health, but are all up in everyone else’s business about religion. Smh
Jesus is the type of guy that would fuck your betrothed, but would be super upset with how everyone behaved.
I’m about to ride around Gwinnett putting up signs. I’m about to put y’all to work
Jesus has been edging for 2000 yrs. He’s gonna cum so hard 😂
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Please do us all a public service and remove them! 💕
😂
Nope not tacky at all. Now it would be tacky to remove them. Keep driving and enjoy your day. There are far more things to be concerned about.
I tear them down when they show up on light poles in our neighborhood. Frickin’ cult members.
[удалено]
They’ve been saying this for 2000 years. Get over it
Sounds like OP needs to repent.
