(not home yet but making good progress) One of the aspects of Florida I enjoyed the most when I lived there was the absolute tastelessness on exhibit almost everywhere. I happened to be in one dipstick Florida town one holiday season and got to see its annual Christmas parade, in which the various fundie church congregations ran floats depicting the crucifixion. Yes, they had live guys up there on the cross. Well, gag me with a spoon. Harry, I was raised Roman Catholic, have been to many religious festivals and parades, and have lived all over this country and several different parts of the world. I've never seen or heard of a live person displayed on a cross, except at Oberammergau, Germany. In the past couple weeks you've described two such incidents. Remarkable. -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - In San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico, the Good Friday religious parade includes a live person dragging a heavy cross through the street of town. To make the spectacle more realistic, they weave a crown of thorns for the person portraying Jesus and jam it down on his head until blood starts running down his face. No mention, however, of anybody willing to have nails driven through the wrists or have his shins broken to reenact an actual cruicifixion. Not to say that it couldn't be done somewhere; people beat themselves with whips and handle poison snakes in the name of religion, so how hard would it be to imagine that some zealot gets up on a cross and pretends to be crucified? http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/trave.../gasemana.html Most people probably don't know that the actual cause of death in crucifixion is usually a form of drowning. With the lower legs broken, the victim must rely upon arm strength to keep from literally "sagging" down the cross. When the body hangs down long enough with arms stretched overhead, the lungs begin to fill up with fluid. Only by pulling back to an full upright position can the lungs clear enough to breath properly. Eventually the arms lose the required strength, and the victim drowns in his own fluid. Not something most people would want to portray, I'd think. I'm surprised that the Christ on a Cross parades that Harry mentioned would have occured around Christmas. Don't the Catholics concentrate more on images of the infant Jesus during this portion of the year and the crucified Jesus during lent? Maybe he saw a Good Friday or Easter parade back in FL? There are a lot of Hispanics in Florida these days, which undoubtedly increases the percentage of practicing Catholics. He must have seen a "Stations of the Cross" parade around Good Friday. Catholics celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ, just as do all the other Christian sects. Note that the death and crucifixion of Christ are something to be made fun of by Harry. I find little redeeming quality in his comments or attitude. -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, you have to remember here, you are dealing with a fundie liberal, they are among the most intolerant segments of our society. Neither you nor Herring have a clue about this. I was raised Catholic and have been so all my life. I never heard of such a parade. Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ, not his death. http://1episcopalvoice.blogspot.com/...1_archive.html Page down to "bleedin jesus". We've already discounted this anomaly. It's not the 'parade' to which Harry refers. This was a one time shot. -- John H OK - let me get this straight: Someone claims to have seen something just once, and you don't believe it unless you have proof that it happened more than once? I don't believe Harry saw what he says he saw. That's easily understandable. The parade to which the URL refers doesn't meet the requirements of 'Harry's Parade'. -- John H John, you're still an idiot. Eat more fish. It's supposed to help your brains.

What a pair of plonkers the two of you are. Telephones, Harry. There's bound to be someone down there who remembers something like men being paraded through town tied to crosses in celebration of Christmas by a fundamental Baptist sect. I'd like to know which of the Baptist organizations was doing such a thing. They are not big on portrayals of Christ on the cross, although the Roman Catholic church is. Besides, you said the town 'doesn't' have a newspaper with photos. I assume you used the present tense because you checked. Well, that's what I want to do. I think you're making it all up. A, I don't believe you think. B, If by a stretch you do, I don't care what you think. I don't recall a real newspaper in the town. Fine, so what is the town? Do you need more information about me to provide it? Are personal attacks necessary? It's not my purpose in life to add to your knowledge base. If you are that interested, do some research and you'll find the answer. My guess is that more than one town in North Florida has these religious parades, though, so you may find a significant number of fundie churches with live Jesus on a cross floats. Let me know what you find out. I have some actor friends in NY who were put out of work temporarily by the Broadway strike. They might appreciate the gig if it pays scale, and several are Jewish, so that would lend authenticity to the parades. (Actually, I could find out the specifics easily, from someone I know who lives in the town...) Playing games again? This one isn't remotely interesting. You lie, you make up dramatic and specific details of your lie, and you refuse to back it up. How "lobsterboatish" of you, Krause. I guess this is also fueled by your narcissism. I'll also guess the players will get bored quicker this time. Time to check in with your fantasy actor friends to get a lesson on acting while they are out of work and pinching pennies. -dk |

Actually, only one name was called, and that was to a fictional character. No one called anyone a liar. Odd; I swear I saw at least a suggestion that that somebody was "making it up as you go along." But you may be technically correct and perhaps only the accusation of lying (rather than the official title "liar") appeared in this thread. Actually, there's been very little 'angst'. It's best to know what's under you when you jump in with both feet. I'm trying to keep my feet, ankles, knees, etc out of it, thanks anyway. Tall boots help. There are a lot of very unpleasant posts in this thread. And no need, as it turns out that Harry at the very least *could have* seen exactly what he claims he saw. No reason to believe otherwise. The disconnect must be that some folks were trying to think of a traditional religious practice that would involve a live actor posing on a cross, and outside of some Latin American cultures it's apparently very rare. However, that doesn't stop some individual zealot from doing just exactly that, and doing so down in some small town in Florida -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You read a statement of what I believe. The fact that I don't believe something doesn't mean it's a lie. I *could* be wrong. You're looking too hard. There are a lot of statements made here that have engendered disbelief. Does it mean the makers of the statement are liars? Hell no. It simply means someone didn't believe the statement. -- John H |

Fortunately the doc that did it had better aim. I hope all goes well with your tests. I was told at that time I should be listed for a liver transplant. Thank God there was a very smart surgeon on the evaluation team and he nixed the idea at that time. Ten years later still going strong with relatively small affects of the secondary sclerosing cholangitis diagnosis. Problem due to lousy arthroscopic gallbladder removal. Good luck to you. |

A**hole -- John H John, here's another eye witness to the same phenomenon; a Protestant pastor "writhing and dieing on a cross" in a Christmas parade in Central FL. Either Harry and this nice little old Episcopal lady are in a conspiracy- or he really saw what he claims to have seen. http://1episcopalvoice.blogspot.com/...ntroversy.html And the fact that there was a lot of negatives and controversy of this one case, tells me the JC on a Cross can not be a very common or even a rare event at a Christmas parade. Especially since was the wrong time of year for the crucifixion. |

Neither you nor Herring have a clue about this. Remember the newsgroup rule: "If I ain't seen it, it doesn't exist". It's related to another rule: "Without a web link, nothing exists".

Harry, I would doubt a small town would have any info on a small parade, and I am sure you are correct, but I am curious, what town is it? As soon as you publish your real, legal name or email it to me, and let us know right here what year, size, model and brand of boat you drive, I'll be glad to help you in your quest. If you email your name, I will not reveal it here or elsewhere. Harry, I told you I would provide you with a copy of my registration for my boat, you are the one who refuses to accept my offer. Just curious Reggie.......why are you and John puppy dogging all of Harry's posts once again today? Honest question. Today looks like it like you were tag teaming and trying to start fights worse than you 100+ posts on 11-24. Can you stop it? Can you? Ahem, let me try that again. Today looks like you were once again tag teaming with John to pick fights with him....almost worst than your 100+ post day on 11-24.

There's nothing in it for me. Yeah, why did you even offer up this story? |
