@noursette29 IIRC, Shawn's father is in the textile business (?). Don't recall where I heard that. I could be wrong, but he is wealthy. Info about Shawn's life is all over the place, which he largely brought upon himself with his antics and his stupidity. Encyclopedia Dramatica had a long entry on him. Try searching "VenomFangX" at RationalWiki . org. Be prepared for a long read.
@noursette29 I won't drop the docs, but his name had been around for a long time, soebody recognised the university campus where he did his evangelising and he showed off the view from his room and his yard with his new camera, There weren't many with that name even in the province so people used the on-line phone directory
and matched what they found with with google Earth. .
Later I found an exchange where he told The Amazing Atheist he was ashamed of his father for making that product
What a presumptuous tool. He's going to check out a potential ministry opening which requires interviews & "council" approval, yet is already telling everyone everything it could possibly lead to.
And twice he mentions how big and scary an adventure it will be to travel on a plane all by himself. Amazing immaturity.
And then of course he begs for money again and frames it as an "opportuniyy" to assist his "evangelistic effort".
If VFX doesn't want people to contact where he's applying to so they aren't bombarded with e-mails about his skeleton closet, it would have been smarter to just make a video saying "I'm going on a trip for a while" and not say what for. Saying "I'm trying to get a job someplace, but it's a secret" will only give his detractors an initiative to find out where it is.
@GuineaPigDan Agreed. I hope someone figures out where he's headed (specifically, what ministry/job opportunity he is going to). It would be nice to bombard them, like you mentioned. But yeah, it's not like he had to go out of his way to make such a big deal about going out of town, (i don't recall a video like this before he went to Florida) unless of course this is another way to get attention and/or a boost in donations.
@starspawn77 He's also done a poor job at concealing his personal information in the past, having his real name appear on videos he DMCA'd and accidentally letting out what university he's at. He really should not tempt fate in case he slips up again.
@starspawn77 Yes, I've seen his dA page before. I thought at first it was someone impersonating him, but the submissions in the gallery don't look like You Tube screencaps of the artwork he's shared. So it might really be him.
lol'd when he said he's never been on a plane alone before. mama's boy.

It's disturbing that there are so many people who are desperate to affirm their beliefs that they will give money to an obvious sociopath, VFX.

I bet he is headed to L.A. to join the "Way of the Master" ministry.
More e-begging in order to pay for someone to take care of his cat. How pathetic.
jebus6kryst 2 months ago
what is striking is how for a man who is in his mid-twenties how much he acts and behaves like a teen.
It is my understandng that he has been cut off fiscally from his parents becuase of his religious persuits and drama hence the e-begging.

Most people go home to their family for christmas.
His father's an international businessman whose products are sold in major stores on both sides of the Atlantic.
And he needs to beg for money from his subscribers again.

As always, it's all about HIM.
Perhaps he's going to Chicago? Or, is his background merely a clever ruse to put us off the scent?
And, with VFX, there's always something smelly going on.
And, who cares that, at the age of almost 30, he's never been on a plane alone before? Only his shrink (ex-gay therapy) knows for sure.

Katmandu! Maybe he can die of malaria in a 3rd world country. That would be fitting. They can try to pray the disease away.
