2. Well I'll be damned...

Really. Damned.

At least that's what Christians tell me.

'A portion of the proceeds from your purchase is donated to supporting Christian ministries.'

What portion, hmm? .01%?

6. Hmmm. . . ..

Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 06:12 PM by okasha

Supposedly this comes from Psalm 45:8: "All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. . .."

But then comes 45-9--"Kings' daughters were among thy honorable women; upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir."

So not only is Jesus married, he has a harem?

Seriously, this poem has nothing to do with Jesus; it's a royal wedding song of the kingdom of Judah. Don't these people read the Bible? ;)

8. There was a local news story on this last week

I almost posted about it then but I was so disgusted that I just hit delete instead...

10. Huh? WTF?

"The money that comes in from the candles goes into buying more candles. So I'm working all the time, 12 hours a day sometimes, without any salary. We haven't taken a cent out of the business."

And he's an economic professor?

11. The news piece was pretty strange

They talked about how people think they are crass. Imagine that! They are only doing this because they love Jesus. That's their story, anyway.

I wonder what the occasion is to actually light the Jesus candle. Is this like a bath aromatherapy candle? Do you light it with dinner? Or only while you pray? When you have guests over and they ask what that unusual smell is in the air, do you just say, "Oh that's Jesus?"

The whole thing it just creepy.
