Well, as a Catholic, on Good Friday, my church would bring out a big cross and we would be given  nails to go put in the cross. This was to remind us that our sin was in part, responsible for Jesus's death. Very family friendly.

 

And THIS, boys and girls ... is why I no longer practice Catholicism. There ya go.

Oh, God, me, too. In the FIRST grade our teacher told us we were going to watch a film about the crucifixion and it would REALLY SHOW US what Jesus endured to save us. The movie was, to a 6 year old, far, far too graphic and intense. Afterward the teacher told us she was disappointed in the film because it failed to show us enough of Jesus' suffering.

All these years later, when I think of that film and that teacher showing it to 6 year olds and THEN being upset because the film wasn't sufficiently violent and bloody to get its point across, I still wonder WTF???!

Also THIS, boys and girls ... is why I no longer practice Catholicism. There ya go.

I really think that if this was anything other than a white, Christian family, that all of these humpers would be screaming bloody murder and speed-dialing DCS to have the children removed from the ho

Better yet, let's go back to waiting for the kid to be born and taking a peek below the equator before putting the first diaper on.

Truth be told, I really don't see much difference between their 'ugly' clothes and their every day clothes.

A cross is just a cross.. A crucifix has a dead body on it. I still have nightmares of my childhood, of staring at dead Jesus, on a cross.

I apparently first saw a crucifix at a family friend's child's baptism. I was maybe 3, and saw the ENORMOUS Jesus on the Cross mounted on the ceiling, and (apparently) grabbed my dad's hand, pointed, and screamed at the top of my tiny lungs "DADDY LOOK THERE'S A MAN HANGING FROM THE CEILING!"

 

It's stories like that that make me glad I'm not a Duggar...I'd never be let off the blanket.

Somebody should tell this story to Bin. It might entirely overcome his objections to Catholicism.

Wtf brand of hot buttered bullshit is that second picture???

We've already seen Jessa in her Patty Hearst pose.

These sickening hillbillies.

I'm totally confused. Can anyone explain this picture? Was this from the SOS trip? Do you have to walk thru the wall of armed guards to get to the ocean?

I do think the dark haired guy next to Joy in the first picture could be Joshley incognito or did he have to surrender his passport when he entered the recovery place?

Catching up with the thread.  Holy Nike!  Board shorts and a gun.  There are no words, only strangled sounds and groans.

 

Thinking of a crucifix, I am currently writing erotica about a young man whose earliest sexual thoughts are about Jesus on the cross.  This was prompted from an acquaintance who told me about his experiences.  It seems this is fairly common.  Who knew?

 

Has anyone else seen the Louie episode in which they bring the "specialist" to his catholic elementary school to explain how Jesus died on the cross.  It's horrifying.  There are about 30 young kids listening to this man go on and on.  Sounds like a few of you have lived this. 

 

That's not a cross necklace.  Per Maeby on Arrested Development, it's one of those "lower case t" necklaces.  I'll leave you with that thought.

Come on!  That child is not MeeShell' jurisdiction!  Where it it's sister-mom?!

I thought the same thing - Baby (which Kiddo is it?) must have slipped away from the slaves. Is this a recent picture? Who is the girl in the picture? Is she a "good family friend?" (per MEchelle) which means she just met the Duggars.

If that's Joy, Joy has become a Contra. izrw45.jpg

The man is sun glasses, second from left, has just GOT to be JOSH DUGGAR. He's out of Jesus Jail, missioncationing on the beach, next to his sister, Jill, who was only 5 years old during Joshgate 1.

Not the picture with the militia! The other one of the gang on the beach, in board shorts!

There's pictures of the guy from the beach pic from other angles. It's not Josh. It's just the angle, and the fact that Josh looks middle aged.

Well who knew CA was cool with weapons on the beach.  If you go to Mexico with a gun, you are liable to end up in jail with El Chapo who may not like their preaching.  We have been careful to get weapons out of cars or motorhomes before entering Mexico, but once my husband got his motorhome searched by the Mexican police.  He wasn't worried because he knew there were no weapons, but they found some ammo.  That alone might have meant trouble but the cops were in a happy go lucky mood that day so the DH went on his way (minus the ammo).

I don't know. Aside from his being a doughy, kinda chubby blob of a whiter than white guy, I don't think he looks like Josh at all .....

 

Although I guess it's true that all guys like that kinda look alike.

All this talk re: crosses and crucifixes (I'm sure there's a Latin plural but can't recall high school Latin classes) brings Drop Dead Gorgeous to mind. I'm on my tablet and don't know how to link in a pic because I'm old, but Google Denise Richards cross. There's a GIF and clips from the film as she drags a life-sized cross including a Jesus mannequin across a stage as part of the talent competition in a beauty pageant. One of the funniest movies ever so check it out.

Why do the girls never have on a proper pair of shoes?

 

It's the Gothard way.

 

Always dress for an old fart's fetish.    While pretending that you're not. Especially if he's Chester the Molester.   ("Feet aren't sexual!  TM   Meeeeeeeeeeechelle "The Dumbass" Duggar)

It creeps me out. Like he has his curly haired, barefoot mom, suspended in dry ice, creepy.
