I was walking down Trinity St. here in Austin on my way to Royal-Memorial Stadium to watch my 'Horns destroy the Cowgirls of Oklahoma State, when I saw two guys walking up and down the street. They were both wearing shirts that said things like "Jesus Christ died for your sins", stuff along those lines. One guy was handing out pamplets, the other dragging a huge cross, I'm assuming to symbolize Jesus carrying the cross on the way to his crucifiction. Don't get me wrong, that's not funny. That's their right, good for them. The funny part, that I've been laughing about ever since, is the fact that the cross he was dragging was on a wheel! The guy wanted to symbolize Jesus dragging his own cross to his crucifiction, but he has to use a freakin' wheel!!! Good thing he wasn't our Messiah!!! (I'm not saying that Jesus was/is in fact the Messiah. He may or may not be, this is not a religion thread. ) ------------------ Cheerleaders are just dancers who've gone r****ded. visit www.swirve.com [This message has been edited by Rocketman95 (edited September 30, 2000).]

I believe you saw the new Cross-O-Matic 2000 with easy action wheel. "For when your burden is too much to bear."
This kinda reminds me back in the days of high school. We used to have this wing in the high school for the mentally handicapped. When we were freshman, we couldn't help but laugh at the 'r****ds'. I guess by the end of the year, we realized it wasn't so funny but sad. ------------------ ...out with the old, in with the new...

What a wuss. On Good Friday in the Philippines they put people on crosses and drive nails through their palms. And these people being crucified volunteer to do it! http://www.etravel.com.au/ephilippines/storyeaster.htm
What a wuss. I think they do that in Brazil too Outlaw. Even over there, they volunteer to be crucified! ------------------ Fun Police Says: 1. Stupid threads & Stupid BBS names are not FUN! 2.

Man. Looks like cross dragging is becoming the newest biggest trend. Let's all go get ourselves a cross (with a wheel? even better!) and go drag it around. OK, maybe not. I think the people of Brazil and the Philippines are doing admirable/courageous acts of faith, but I personally would rather be a wuss then have nails driven through my hands. I'm half Filipino by the way, and I'm glad my family members don't take part in it. ------------------

i'm with rock...i admire those people who volunteer, but i don't think i would be able to watch a nail be shoved through my palm...OUCH!!! by the way, any other Filipinos in here??? ------------------
When I was in high school we used to take weekend trips to Austin all the time and on one occasion on the way up, about 10 miles past Brenham, I saw this guy dragging a huge cross. i dont know if it is the same guy but i didnt see a wheel or anything. That was on a friday. Late sunday afternoon, I had to drive back home to Houston and the guy was still dragging the cross, and had advanced a good 30 or 40 miles or so. I didnt really care taht he was dragging a cross or anything, but i thought it was pretty impressive nonetheless. Must have been some other guy. ------------------ Remember.... You are not really drunk until you must hold on to the grass to keep from falling off the earth.
You should have walked up to him and told him to be a man and lose the wheel. ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.

A few years ago there was a guy who got some press because he was crossing the country dragging a cross. I'm not sure how far he got, but I know it was really far. He had a wheel on his too. He was the one to popularize dragging crosses (with wheels) in American Christian circles, I think. Anyway, I think you're making too big of a deal about the wheel. Those crosses are heavy and who wants to be dragging it around everywhere? He's just using it as an advertisement so people will take their brochures. Besides, I'm sure you can construct a good, theological argument for why the wheel is fitting: salvation through Jesus is supposed to lighten your burden. ------------------ Rockets Draft Obligations Summary http://www.gaffordstudios.cjb.net/
