Seen this one before?

I haven't, but it's just been brought to my attention.

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. That way, you'll be a mile away and you'll have his shoes.

Apparently he has come back only to trade in high-quality photographic paper and incense. THAT should please the capitalists among us...

Jesus is back and he's an internet scam merchant! I just knew it.

I don't know...

I don't know, but Jesus is just a little creepy looking if you ask me.

MY "love offering" has nothing to do with money...and that's more than you need to know!

Just for you edification and to prevent the gullible from sending love offerings (I chuckle every time I hear that), I would like to present pictures of the actual Jesus. First, we see him hanging out in the clouds as this is his new home. It seems that a head is optional when you are in heaven.

And finally, we see how he looks when he is visiting with special nuns and believers.

Now, ain't he a handsome devil?

I'm not being stupid, am I - all of those first lot are the same picture, aren't they? And isn't it strange how non-semitic Jesus and Mary look?

Oh no! They can't POSSIBLY be all the same picture! Jesus DOES spend all his time appearing to people in EXACTLY the same pose, OR A MIRROR IMAGE OF IT!, all the time. Including hiding his head in a CLOUD! Although sometimes he only poses in black-and-white...

AND !!! He also transmutates PRECISELY THE SAME portrait into people's cameras ALL THE TIME! WOW! That's even BETTER than Uri Geller can do!

(BTW, I'm using CAPITOL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION MARKS because they are IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!).

Did you look at the guestbook ?

It's um, interesting.

Beautiful site. It seems as though there are some non-believers out there. Just because the pictures look alike doesn't mean that one of them isn't real.
wow... I sure hope that's humor.

Apparently, the Virgin Mary brings the same tree all around the world, just to appear around it. I wonder if she brought it to that hospital window she appeared in this year in Brockton, MA. Perhaps that is where they got the wood to board it up.

When I first looked at the "jesus" photos they looked like mushroom clouds!

Interesting... in the discussion towards the bottom there's a link to a website which denounces the images as fake

this one: Valley Skeptic

I wonder why that was included?

That's not Jesus, that's a young James Earl Jones with a jerry-curl mullet.

The significance of Jesus and Mary permitting their images to be captured on photographs is not known. My interpretation/description written above is my own, and yours may be different.
I think you have pretty much nailed this one down to my satisfaction.
