Interesting. I just watched The Greatest Showman, and I liked it for the most part (there was some obvious LGBTQRSTUV stuff in it but the pro-marriage content trumped all that).

The account first appears in

This here is what a feller calls a no-brainer. There is no question as to why Spurgeon would decline an invitation to preach at the circus---even for such a generous honorarium.

I saw that too with the kids. A friend had posted on facebook how family-friendly it was, no cuss words. I didn't catch any LGBTQ, etc. stuff in there. We got the last tickets on the front row, so I might have missed something on the other side of the screen. I didn't take a woman having a genetic condition that made her grow a beard to be LGBT, though I could see how LGBT people would relate to that considering the narrative they spin about LGBT. I did see some themes and content that were either not family friendly that I don't care for:- Main character's getting married without the bride's fathers' approval. Dad was the bad guy.- Scantily clad legs all over the place.- The kids said they heard 'the D word' in one of the songs. I didn't pick up on it. - They had the Jenny Lind character kiss P.T. Barnam on stage in front of everyone. He was married. There was a real woman with that name, and from what I read there was no evidence of a scandal like this. She apparently married a fellow musician and stayed married until one of them died. They drug a dead woman's name through the mud for the sake of their movie plot.I wonder how Hollywood gets away with dragging dead people's names through the mud. Someone ought to take that to court, pick someone who just died, and choose a case where the movie says a woman wasn't a virgin before marriage, which has low standards of proof under common law. Then other cases can extend it back to people's ancestors. Are the dead exempt when it comes to bearing false witness. If actors hadn't presented Socrates in a bad light, he might still be alive today. Okay, maybe not, but that makes a good quote

You know they usually make this stuff up, right? It's a guess, but I'd be surprised if the slapping scene wasn't totally made up. Wikipedia says he was the son of an inn-keeper, tailor, and store-keeper. What was he in the move, a chimney sweep? In the Old Testament, the father had veto power. The New Testament mentions fathers giving their daughters in marriage. Even the Canaanites knew they needed to get the father's permission. I'm trying to engrain the full veto concept into my kids now. Indonesians tend to think that way. It's technically legal to get married, but government officials might not sign if parents don't consent.
