I read about that... wow. Though, when did they start making Takling Jesus Dolls again? I know they did several decades ago, but quit when the dolls wouldn't sell. Hmm.
Also, I can't decide whether that picture is terrifying or awexome.

Everything is making a come back from days of old.
There is an article about a kid in Iraq or Afghanistan getting one of these toys. Will have to dig it up.

CNN is now reporting that the Toys For Tots is now saying yes to Jesus. www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/17/jesus.doll.ap/index.html
Another doll I recently saw advertised is "Clergy Girl" at

This is just sad, but true that folks like to deny the Word of God
FWIW

I can picture 6-year-old boys the world over, playing with Jesus and having Jesus kicking G.I. Joe's butt. Or, maybe a lightsaber fight with Darth Vader! Maybe Jesus would like to go shopping with some of the Bratz girls? Or, maybe some 6-year-old girl can let Jesus go out on a date with Barbie in the Barbie Land Rover! He can come back to the Barbie Dream Home afterward and having some tea with Barbie, Skipper, and Ken... How absolutely delightful!
Can you change Jesus's clothes, too? Maybe we could get him in some Nikes and a FUBU shirt! Jesus doesn't need a message -- he just too busy lookin' gooooooood.
Will Jesus be on store shelves in time for Christmas? I really hope so -- I GOTTA have a Jesus, and have it NOW!
Jeez. A toy Jesus. People will do anything these days to cheapen faith.

That toy just "disturbs" me to look at it. I would not want my children to have a toy like that. I think, like the previous poster above said, it cheapens the faith.
I read somewhere else something that really made a lot of sense. We need to think about who might receive these toys. If they are only for American children, then fine, but if they are for children possibly in the Middle East, then it is good that they don't want to collect these toys. If a child received one of these in the Middle East, and it was found out by others, the family's lives could very well be in jeopardy, just from the child possessing this toy.

I understand what you are saying and collected toys are distributed only to famillies in the US and Puerto Rico. The key issue in the article was that since the dolls are programmed with various Scripture verses, someone thought that the Word of God would give offense to Jewish and Muslim recipeitns. Ironically doesn't Christ say in Jeremiah 6 and Galations 5 that the Word of God gives offense?

Hey -- if you want to quote the Bible to non-Christians, be my guest. But don't send Buzz Lightyear dressed up as my Messiah to do it.
Just my two cents.
