TLC creating reality show based on obese couple
 
(Not sure if this has been posted, but...)

Someone just forwarded this link: http://www.knoxville.com/news/2010/n...le-morristown/

I have a sneaking suspicion that this couple is UPC based solely on appearance. Either way, I suppose it's an interesting premise for a reality show.

Could be! They do rather "look" like they could. But at the same time there are so many other religious groups that have dress standards, but it will in interesting to see if they are.
They are from Tennessee....

Why are so many UPC churches called New Life?

Because it is easy. If a church has the word "Community" in the name and doesn't do anything in the community then they are wasting the word and the space. Just a thought.

Because so many folks are so sick of their "old life". "new life" does have market appeal.

despite the cynicism, many of the members of "new life" churches have found exactly that.

Ya think? :)

Seriously though, if they are some sort of "Holiness" it does not mean they claim to have their entire lives in order... Some people's faults are more obvious but in the end it means nothing does it? His heart might be in better relationship to God than mine.

BTW... from this clip - I think this couple is fun to be around...

Epictetus might say "the world is ending"
Shakespeare might say "endeth, it did"

the bard might rescribbled the line "what a piece of work is a man" into "that man is a piece of work"

Check out Ton of love on facebook... also he has acts 2:38 on his myspace page.

Here is what is on facebook

TON OF LOVE follows three couples whose love and relationships are tested by their struggles with extreme obesity. Freddie and Kay have been ostracized by their church, seen as gluttons by their former friends—will they find a new religious community to call home? Susan and Randy have been struggling to get pregnant for years, but could their obesity be the cause of their infertility? LaTricia and Aurelio are pregnant with their second child, but LaTricia’s obesity puts her baby in danger; will their baby survive such a high-risk pregnancy? In this 1-hour special, viewers will receive a rare glimpse at the hardships that extreme obesity creates for these couples, as well as the ways in which love endures.

I am married to a Russian lady, I ever treat her like that and she might up and stick a knife into something vital. The dude has nerve considering his incapacitation.

I feel sorry for her - - she apparently was raised to be submissive to her man. There's a line to being submissive and being taken advantage of!

Ya know, I know how babies are made. But I do NOT know how they are made with couples like this, logistics wise. On one hand I am genuinely curious and on the other I do not want these particular images in my head.
