Are you a 'Daddy's Girl'? I'm used to bizarre religious expression (hey, I'm originally from Missouri), but I saw an advertisement for these freaks in a local paper today and frankly, it makes me itchy. My wife and daughter were horrified by it for five minutes (before they began to tease me mercilessly, of course).

Does anyone consider the concepts expressed by the Kingdom Covenant Centre to be at all sensible? I realize that some people believe in the 'Our father, who art in Heaven' stuff, but isn't this far too literal and weird? Are these people caught in some fifties time warp when 'Daddy's Girl' had more innocent connotations? All the phrase conjures up in my mind is fetish pornography featuring (perhaps) women of legal age dolled up to look like kids.

  • Women are constantly giving and nurturing: as daughters, sisters, nieces, aunts, wives, or mothers. Not constantly in my experience - I have met some hateful and damaging women though they are fewer than the local bastards - but this is often true. A woman's role is still hard to define, even today. The circles of sexism are mind-boggling.
  • Hold me. he loves it when you call him big papa...
  • hateful and damaging women Yeah, Ann Coulter is a women. NEVAR FORGET!!¡!
  • Ah. There goes my brain again.
  • It's as creepy as Denise Richards singing "You're Just Too Good to be True" to a stuffed Jesus. Man, what a freaky scene. I was going to link to the IMDb page for Drop Dead Gorgeous but the site is down, or stupidly slow.
  • Pat has a place on her website where you can leave a prayer request. I left mine, maybe you want leave your very own special prayer request. It really helped me make my day special.
  • First thing I see in that link is a wide-open-mouthed woman with a huge mike reaching to her mouth from her crotch. Then, the Daddy's Girl shit. Then photos of black women in apparent solidarity/bliss. Then, I sorta threw up.
  • Completely agree with Jerry's post on "nuturing women" I went to the site and I can't get past, "... for women to rest and receive unfailing love from their heavenly Daddy. God is not only our father; He is our loving and considerate Daddy." I can't stop laughing
  • God
  • Who's your heavenly Daddy?
  • Listen here, people, I saw the clouds moving. Enough said.
  • Once I saw a cloud that looked like an elephant. Does that mean I'm Hindu?
  • Very possibly, shinything. Now if you dream about an elephant it's definite. "Strangely enough, a dream where the dreamer sees that he is eating rice pudding is a good dream. As is the case with dreams of drinking wine or blood. Or even of eating wet meat. A clear sky in a dream is good. Dreaming of milking a cow or a buffalo with one
  • Overlooking the horrible English, isn't the Bible full of stories where God ordered whole tribes to be put to death or for the men to be put to death and the women enslaved? Yeah, it always befuddles me when people pull out the "God wants you to be rich and prosperous" argument. Throughout the New Testament the writers make it abundantly clear that if you truly follow Christ you will be poor, hated, persecuted, and quite probably killed. Nowhere does it say you'll be fat and happy. Remember that stuff about the eye of the needle? Sell your belongings and follow me? Also, the underbelly of that argument is the implicit moral judgement of the poor: i.e., if you're a good person and a good Christian, God will bless you with money and security. Ergo, if you have neither money nor security, then obviously you're not a good person. Ergo, the poor deserve to be poor for being so morally reprehensible, and conversely, if you're rich, it means you must be better than everybody with a smaller bank account, not just socially but morally. It boils me blood, arrrgh.
  • "Show us on the doll where Daddy-God put his unfailing love"
  • "Show us on the doll where Daddy-God put his unfailing love" X'D thanx for making my day film.
  • i personally just get pissed when i see some freak like this with "Dr." in front of the name. i'm not trying to knock divinity degrees or anything, but seriously, how much work do you do for that compared to a Ph.D in hard science? heck, let's be fair - even the folks over in the english dept. would agree that the work involved is not even close. plus quite often i find that people like to claim "Dr" when it's an honorary or non-accredited degree. pfft. maybe i'm just being pissy today, but i've had it about up to the eyeballs with religion. it's all a scam... you don't need any organized human heirarchy or a specific (mistranslated) book to know how to be a good person. organized religion gets people killed.
  • Yeah, Ann Coulter is a women. NEVAR FORGET!!¡! posted by fuyugare Not anymore. Coulter had Womanhood status revoked by the High Council back in 1997. The right-wing has used a lot of juice to keep this from the press.

  • Oh, juan, it's good to see you here, especially since I just died laughing.
  • our relationship with “Daddy-God.” ...I never got past that. You monkeys are so funny.
  • Once I saw a cloud that looked like an elephant. Does that mean I'm Hindu? Very possibly, shinything. Now if you dream about an elephant it's definite. What if I dreamed of Cthulhu? :E
  • Zemat, then you're a politician, not Hindu, and that is bad karma indeed. Best to dream of rice pudding.
  • You're all going to hell.
  • Forget the hand-basket, just get into the purse.
  • GramMa, is there rice pudding in hell?
  • Ooh, shinything, that recipe looks yum!
  • caution - Do Doctors of Divinity have to write theses? Theses in any field are equally difficult - sciences often face longer days, but more support from their advisors and peers, and shorter over all degrees. Humanists work shorter daily hours, but live off less money and work for more years and write much more (400-600 pages are getting common) - and I think social scientists fall somewhere in the middle.
  • I lubs rice puddin'! If there's not rice puddin' in hell, there should be! I have the family recipe for ice cubes, if anyone wants it.
