I agree... quite a mess it is!

Aw, what a cutie, I want to hug him, no cry!!!

WOW! Thanks for the hug... I feel better already!

LOL.. your photobucket must be filled to overflowing Annie! You have a pic for everything! Love em!

See what I mean?

You're welcome!!! You'll have to deal with my emoticons for now!

OKAY!

Dear Charles Atlas,

I've had your course...please send muscles....

Tiny Tim Esq...

"REALLY--- I EAT LIKE A BIRD... A PTERODACTYL!"

Label the pic: "the official exploited poster child for Michael Moore's career."

Maz, Seven, and Eli... awesome.. that last kid scares me, the one with the fork.

And I always used to say I ate like a bird (cause I'm underweight), but they say birds eat a lot.. well, not as much as a Pterodactyl.

Good ones, guys!

i cant feed this kind of people because they eat everyday $1000 and my orphanage children must fast upto one month.
this is very funny pictures.thank you for all photos.

with greetings
bro.chinnam naidu

Chinnam, so sorry, this really is not very thoughtful of your orphanage and what they go through... we in America are really messed up... believe me, I'm ashamed and not liking the way things have turned out. You are a wise and lovely person.

Love, Rose

Imaginative and hilarious responses, everyone!

Maz... amazing. Those guys could be brothers. And Eli... even Michael Moore resembles them.

-7... Now that's what I call one big bird... good title!

Chinnam...I hear you. You would have to control his portions, though, if you happened to have one like him.

Rose...that kid does seem to love food way too much! (...you are a sweetie)

Aw, thanks Annie! Another cutie baby. Now don't feed him CARBS!

No way... he's on a Mediterranean diet.

Oooh la la... a skinny kid growing up! Now, what's the chance of that in America??

"Slim"...

Ooops... slim! Yes... skinny is hard to come by unless you're 15 and are trying to meet all the guys you can by looking like a skeleton! No fries on their lists... well, I guess their could be but not for long. (gross)

a person who is a slave to sin who is a slave to people who are slaves to sin.

...time to pack my own lunch like I did when I was a kid!!!!

My youngest daughter, Tirzah Love.

She's a cutie patutie, Eli !

God Bless!

I just feel very sad about the obese child that was shown.

But I feel even more sad about some of the comments that were directed toward that child.

If a blind man was walking down the street....would you try to trip him and then laugh about it?

I think its pretty darn sick to find humor over the predicament of a child or anyone else who is in this condition.

Certainly not Christian.

And for the record....many Americans also excercise. Many of us are health conscious.

The money we spend on health clubs and excersize machines in mind boggling.

Excellent, Godsword!!

This would have to be the WINNER....

"WELCOME TO THE FDA-HEADQUARTERS CAFETERIA. HOW MAY WE MISLEAD YOU?"

Everyone,
Please consider how your comments might come across to somebody experiencing the hardships of being overweight. There are a lot of hurting people who may come to this forum and see this thinking that the love of God is not here. Is this conducive to christianity? In sincere honesty? I'm not going to hide myself about this issue...I am overweight and find this type of talk amongst christians to be distasteful, judgmental and downright mean...including hurtful. Not everyone who is overweight overeats to the max...some people have hormonal problems or thyroid problems or other issues which makes it harder for them to lose the weight. There are some people who are blessed and able to eat whatever they want to eat, yet don't gain weight. How can christians sit as judge and mock people who have physical limitations????

Isn't the worldly society at large already doing enough damage...by making the harsh, critical distinctions about those who are overweight compared to those with perfect bodies? How many people suffer because they believe they are not worthy enough due to their body size? One of the most distasteful television shows is called "the Biggest Loser". I don't care how much they try to gussy up that show, it is a direct attack against those who suffer being overweight, and mocks them.
As christians, shouldn't our focus be upon spiritual matters, rather than outward appearance? Some of the most tender hearted people I've known, are the most kind and loving because of the hardships they have endured.

Sincerely,
Kim

Kim....

I could not agree with you more. My youngest is on the heavy side and I didn't appreciate some of the juvenile comments coming from supposedly adults?

Don't worry....when they find humor in picking on others....one day they will be old, wrinkled, and get the same back to them.

Sorry, didn't mean it the way it sounded... sorry if I offended you.

I will not lighten up about this...shame on you for these outlandishly rude comments Rose...."disgustingly selfish, grossly obese, complacent, and greedy"...that is the mindset of those in the world and the whole point why this was brought to light referring to this thread. *Christians* having *fun* should never be at the expense of another person's physical handicaps.
And to allude that every overweight person is overweight due to disgusting, selfish, complacent greed is exceptionally offensive, to say the least!!!!
That is precisely the attitude I'm referring to....it has no place within a christian's walk.

I stepped forward in honesty because I felt it would be a good witness to others who may also be struggling with weight issues. Too many people who are overweight feel ashamed of their condition and that should never be an issue within christianity!

But you just watch Chloe', your son will gain huge benefits of compassion towards others, empathy and kindness...for when you have physical problems and the society at large rejects you because of those physical problems it causes a person to remain humble and gives them a compassionate understanding for others who are struggling.

I pray your son receives health to his body, in Jesus name...and thanks for sharing!

Annie's addition below is so true... this is why my kid has migraines and asthma... and other health issues... due to the poison in the food, the overused fats and the chemical additives that make people overweight. I had one slant on it, Annie the other. Nobody is making fun of people and their weight condition. But what America wants, America gets... and if nobody does anything about it, then it will stay that way. That's what I meant about complacent. Sorry if any of this hurt your feelings.

Hi Kim,

The jist of the picture, was not just the idea of the person being overweight, but his diet containing poisons such as fluoride, MSG, Aspartame... AKA junk food full of chemical additives; not to mention the Prozac. The pic is a satire: " trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly."

People are unaware of the poisons they ingest on a daily basis. Also, this pic demonstrates how the the government is in control of what we eat, what we drink, the poisons we breathe (notice the chemtrails in the sky), and how we are being watched (see the cameras everywhere).

As Christians, we are entrusted with the care of our body, which is the temple of the Holy Ghost (1Cor. 6:19), and must strive to do our very best in living in natural health, avoiding chemical additives that are known to be detrimental to human health. We must educate outselves as to the harm we do to our bodies by eating fast food, drinking fluroridated water, taking pharmaceuticals, etc.

The latest medical findings suggest that one can be overweight, yet still healthy, if they exercise regularly and eat wholesome foods.

Hey Kim....

Well this is my youngest daughter who has a little problem with it. My oldest daughter has a different metabolism. That kid burns off everything.

I saw that something was wrong when they were just toddlers. I coudn't figure it out. My girls are only eleven months apart and they ate exactly the same things (which was NOT junk food).

I was almost in tears when I talked to the Pediatrician about it...and he said that they have the same issue with one of their kids.

All of the others are thin....but this one tends to gain weight easier. The main thing he said is to keep healthy choices around and that they are not made to feel ashamed of it. He told me not to make a too big of a deal about it.

And when I read a couple of the posts in this thread.....I can see that a particular person enjoys making jabs at others in this condition.

Eventually....they will get theirs!

I'm not going to go on a merry-go-round of arguing over this topic. I believe that the underlying implications are obvious to anyone who looks at the pictures PLUS the comments being made...it is placing overweight people under derision and shame...and it simply should not be so, especially amongst christians. This is really all I have to say about it. Please, by all means everyone...have fun.

God bless you all,
Kim

Well, I can honestly relate to your dd, Chloe'. I cannot remember any time in my entire life without struggling with weight issues. Yet I could watch kids my age eat whatever they wanted to eat, yet not gain the weight. I was not an inactive kid either...loved to get out and play baseball...jump in creeks swimming, lol...and ride my bike to kingdom come. I will admit I've grown less active later in life and have attempted to remedy that by tred-mill...but I find that the focus being primarily upon the *outside* of a person's body to be missing the larger picture(especially christians). God looks upon a person's heart....and so should we.

God bless you,
Kim





Here am I,
What I eat does not interfere with my Holy Temple. What I eat is eliminated...and bears no direct spiritual consequence...unless it was strangled meat or meat containing blood. However, what proceeds out of my mouth, that's the issue...and it is related to my (spiritual) heart.

I don't say it's wrong to want to live healthily...but when we tie that into our spiritual lives, I feel that's a step in the wrong direction...unless it's related to idol worship etc.

I will add this final thought about your picture....I see the primary object is the overweight man, surrounded by fattening foods. This in and of itself is a derision to the man sitting in front of the food.

I've said what I felt needed to be said...and won't bother this thread anymore.

God bless you,
Kim

Amen Kim!

One thing is that God sees all the hurt that people go through. And He cares about all those little things.

He also sees those who puff themselves up and bragg. And that truely angers Him. Those people will not see as much mercy as those who are humbled.

Sending a big hug to you Sweety.

Cindy

Thanks Chloe'! ((((hugs)))) to you too!

I don't think I was making fun of overweight people. I thought I was trying to make fun of poor diets (which can result in being overweight), and especially I was trying to deal with all the "false" additives and manufactured drugs allowed by the FDA. My mother, my two brothers (one older, one younger), and my father are all overweight (some more than others). (I could probably stand to lose 5-10 pounds, but a nurse who weighed me recently thought I was around 30 pounds lighter than I am [meaning, more of my weight is muscle than fat].) I don't generally make fun of overweight people, though I suppose sometimes I can fall victim to doing so when it is in an anonymous, impersonal setting (just like I suppose I might make fun of other things which in person I would not). But I don't think I did in this case.

Godsword, you are fine, this topic was in the JUST FOR FUN section and there is no reason why we can't have fun. Those that want to not have fun don't have to post! I loved your captions and understood you completely and what you meant!

Love, Rose

GW....

YOU were not posting anything that was ment to insult. But another person did and this one is enjoying all her little jabs.

Lay it down, Chloe... I corrected my post or did you see that? You like to get your words in too, don't you? You can't resist.. I can see the anger. But I am done with anger... I am at PEACE. Which is what you should pray for. PEACE. No jabs, paranoia is not a good thing. I was thanking Godsword... you had to get YOUR jabs in. Have a nice day! And stop following me! Oy, now who's the stalker?? And stop screaming in all caps in your posts, it's REALLY annoying. Peace, sister. Peace!

Be at peace?

You don't even care about the anguish you caused the other day. You don't care about the hurt and rage you caused.

You had no business posting that.

One more thing you have shown me is that you are TOTALLY untrustworthy. I shared information that I trusted you with. And you not only betrayed me....but two other people. Not to mention sharing info about the subject for the soul purpose of trying to cause injury to that person.

I never wanted to hurt him. But you used the information I gave you to try to do that to him. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THAT! And I won't forgive myself for betraying him and also for trusting YOU!

The Holy Spirit has shown me a couple other things about you that I will not mention.

You really need to just back away. Every time you open your mouth or post something....you just reinforce that you are not repentant for the problems you caused.

In fact...you are mocking. That is one of the characteristics of Satan. And you are enjoying it very much.

Lay it down, girl. Anger will kill ya. I am not enjoying this, just responding to your anger that obviously is so out of control. I am at peace, I wish you could be. The Lord loves you very much but you continue to follow my posts to see if I am going to say anything bad, which I am not, but you are needling me with your screaming at me with your large words. You need to calm down. Really. So you are a prophet now and the Holy Spirit is telling you things? Are you sure it's not from the other side? You really need to calm down and let GOD take over. So don't trust me, just stop following me. I am not mocking. You are imagining this so you can continue to post after I do. Please just be at peace, and no more yelling.

Forgiveness, repentance... this is what God would like. I forgive, I am repentant, but the Lord has forgiven me and I have asked forgiveness already from the people that I exposed and they have forgiven me. No anger, no sugarcoating, no attacking. Your imagination is working overtime. And the Holy Spirit hasn't showed you anything that the Lord hasn't already covered with the blood and forgiven me for. I feel peace and love and this is the Lord's presence that surrounds me. You should try just resting from here and things will be fine. What happened the other day is PAST. Today is NEW day and the Lord tells us to look forward, not back. I am looking forward. No more attacks, just trying to keep the peace. But you won't stop posting after me. So I just have to let it go. You will believe what you want to, and contention is not enjoyed by those that are constantly targeted. But I am over it!

Back away to where, Chloe? I am allowed to be here and have an opinion. Maybe you need to just ignore me. There is an ignore button and then you wouldn't feel so angry with me. Just ignore. I'm just another person on the internet. You can ignore and block if you want. It's okay. It doesn't offend me. I am not backing anywhere. I am here to stay.

Oh, and remember, we're in the forum called JUST FOR FUN. So let's get back to topic!


So please just be at peace, Sister. God does love you so much! And I know you will respond, but this is my last post here regarding discussions with you, but just watch, you can't resist. Really... just let it go and let GOD.

Rose...

You do not understand what you did to me the other day.

You used that information against him. THAT was not why I told you any of it. I wanted you to pray for him. I wanted you to understand because you were asking me about some things.

And so I get some half-hearted apology....but yet I see you still attacking....albeit...covered with more glucose. But you know what your doing.

And I'm not Prophetic. But I do have the Holy Spirit living inside of me and I sensed something about you quite awhile back...but I ignored it. I will keep it to myself....but your behavior just reinforced it.

Forgivness is something separate. I do forgive you. But you will never be trusted again.

"Welcome to the FDA-Headquarters cafeteria. How may we mislead you?"

This is still the best title... the FDA has no idea what damage it has done to our mess of a USA.
