Weeping cardboard Christ draws Texas pilgrims
Associated Press

ROBSTOWN -- Religious pilgrims have come to this Coastal Bend town by the hundreds to glimpse an image of Jesus they say began weeping inside a wood-framed house following a grandmother's prayers for a baby in a Houston hospital .

The pilgrims were told that the tears were in response to prayers from a young grandmother for her critically disfigured grandson.

Fino, a Catholic, dabbed cotton balls against two streams of oily substance that trickled from the outside corners of the image's eyes. She gave them to visitors, one after another.

"I got to wipe the tears," Jamie Gonzalez, 30, said as she steadied herself on the porch with the walker she needed to enter the home. "It's just faith."

Christ has gotten CHEAP!

as has happened more than a few times.

,...would be my spiritual guess *smile*.

Outside, and sell pieces of the true cross to the pilgirms.

weeping "oily substance", I mean c'mon PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

Life IS stranger than fiction.

too.

and tell Bush's deciples he doesn't want them to kill, rape or humiliate his Iraqi children.

some people need to be slapped.

it was on a billboard in Atlanta a few years ago. It's been my favorite 'sighting' ever since I heard about it, cause if Jesus did show up, I'd want to see him in MY spaghetti.:bounce:

So he knows what's really going down.

...as long as I got my cardboard Jesus...

:eyes:

achoo-la, brother!

Cool. "Real Jesus Tears for Sale". Place your bids.

why on earth would He waste his time with something as stupid as this? This doesn't help anybody, it doesn't relieve any suffering. Some people are such fools.

Before I even had a chance to read this whole thing, chills starting going up and down my spine.

Maybe the second coming of Christ is right around the corner. The times we see now are calling for it!

Anybody got an extra.

Oh, btw, I'm from Texas.

does anyone remember the "picture of Jesus" that turned out to be a picture of Willie Nelson as the Red-headed Stranger under some wallpager? Pitiful people flocked to see that, too.

Pretty good shape indeed.

When they did the amazing money eating Madonna statue miracle.... just mad me think of that.

"I got to touch the face of the Virgin Mary," Jamie Dumbass, 30, said as she steadies herself on the porch with the wooden leg she needed to enter the home. "It's just so beautiful," she said as a dark brown residue smeared across her fingertips.

Religious nuts...aren't they grand?

See?! Can you see him? Can you?

before I read the whole thread.

until it finally got moldy. I guess the health department confiscated it after that.
