What Did Jesus Look Like?

[naomi24]

I’ve just received a 2013 Memorial Invitation from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I will have to decline their invitation, but have a look at it here – third item top line – and do check out the reverse side of the leaflet.

Jesus, despite having been born in the Middle East of Jewish parents, appears to have been a very handsome white man - and no stranger to a designer hairstylist - or the gym. What a hunk! How on earth can anyone take this gumpf seriously?

I got the same leaflet naomi and thought he looked very ' North European' as well. Definitely a bit of artistic licence.

It must have been quite a shock for Joseph when Mary presented him with a blue eyed, blonde child.

Many years ago I dreamt Jesus. I forgot what he looked like but I remember he told me to read particular psalms from the holy Bible.

[EDDIE51]

As Jesus was 'The Son of God' does this mean God is an Englishman ?

He's even hunkier here naomi!

Jesus looked like Robert Powell.

On my toast this morning his face looked a bit like George Clooney with long hair

[ummmm]

My nephews grandmother is Maltese and he looks more Middle Eastern than Jesus.

[naomi24]

Okay, B00. You got me. Where do I sign? Err .... although .... Mrs O's George Clooney .... mmmm .... yes, I think he has the edge, ;o)

[beso]

There is zero contemporary evidence that Jesus was anything more than a fictional character in a ridiculous made up story. Consequently He can look like anything you care to decide.

Sorry Naomi - I ate the toast

He looked like Mr Bean.

Oh no!! It was last night, wasn't it. Sugar. I was supposed to be there! :-/

I had a couple of JW's turn up a week or so ago. I wasn't very well and asked them to come back, so they left me with some leaflets and a copy of the watchtower and said they'd come back another time.
Anyway, they came back on Friday. Stupidly, I answered the door and (again) engaged in conversation with them. They were two lovely little old ladies and I just didn't have the heart to tell them I wasn't interested... again.
So, she said "you are coming on Tuesday aren't you *name*"? Me: "Er... yes, I think so. Er... maybe. It should be fine".
Little old lady: "oh that's wonderful. Well as you know, I'm Judy and this is Angela, and we will keep a look out for you. It starts at 7, but please do try and get there as early as you can and we can introduce you".
Not sure what I was thinking at this point but I smiled and replied "ok. Lovely. See you then"...?!?!?!

Oh god. What have I done. They'll be back today, for sure.

Madmen ring Pickfords ...now !!

The Watch Tower mag always reminds me of pubs! Im sure that's not the image they want to convey either.

When I was little, my mum, if she went on a night out, used to bring me back home, some plastic cocktail swords (!!) and a copy of the WT.

[mrs_overall]

Boo - snap (almost).
I used to get the plastic swords and a copy of the Citadel (sally army mag)

[MadMen]

Lol Flump :)) I'm just going to have to ignore the door for the next few days, and tell the kids to hide!

[naomi24]

B00, it wasn't the War Cry was it? The Salvation Army publication? They used to sell them in pubs. Don't know if they still do.

[mrs_overall]

Citadel = rofl

I meant the War Cry. Thanks Naomi

But God would ensure his son was a real hunk wouldn't he ?
