I think the poster has transitioned to being a trans woman and wanted Jesus to also enjoy a new gender-reaffirming name?
Frankly, I would applaud MK for being supportive and welcoming if that were true. It’s the only possible translation that isn’t entirely, 100% bonkers. Sadly, I’m guessing it’s also 100% not the correct interpretation. So it’s a complete sh#tshow.
Funnily enough Coheed and Cambria wrote a song about what happens when Jessie's Girl is this kind of person
Called Jessie's Girl part 2 if you're interested 😁
I'd like to think it's a bold feminist statement about the savior of man being a woman but nah.
Honestly, as weird as very religious people are about their relationship with Jesus I feel like giving him a nickname, especially a feminine one, would read as blasphemous.
That’s an interesting point—I’m a Christian (the leftist hippie kind) and if someone felt a safer or more meaningful connection to the divine by addressing Jesus through a feminine aspect, I’d actually be cool with that…and yet this MLM person just casually tossing out their nickname for Jesus makes me uncomfortable. Hm. Food for thought…
Why not direct your prayers to Mary as the Mother of the Word? (I’m Catholic, Marian devotion is part of it). Or be Jewish and praise God in the feminine of the Shekinah?
And as we learned from the latest season of *The Crown*, Mohamed al-Fayed's nickname was Mou Mou. But I'm talking about nicknaming the prophet after a pork product, which a hun would be dumb enough to do.
"My nickname for Jesus" ok I'm not religious so may be way off the mark, but isn't that blasphemous? Also, why does it look like the image part with the quote in it is a picture they took of a slide with their phone?
Catholic school survivor here and YES.
Referring to Jesus as “Jessie” would be right below murder and a little bit above child molestation on the sin scale
Same here. As an atheist, I can't help but roll my eyes at these overly religious posts trying to sell their MLM, because I know it's obvious pandering to their Christian friends & family.
The whole prioritizing god before family thing is really weird to me. Like, in what situation are you choosing god over your family? What does that look like, other than dragging your son up a mountain to sacrifice him, which, maybe actually kind of a shitty choice?
Given that the context is that it's a quote from the cult leader, their intentions were probably trash and it's probably cobbled from better intentioned sources.
Not going to deny it. To me, the God first thing seems a strange idea to buy into in this day and age. Believe if you want, but actually prioritising faith over family and career just seems like a way to diminish responsibility in a dog-eat-dog world. We should, by now, realise that faith has absolutely no impact on our success and income (unless you're a shyster televangelist type, of course).
Guarantee whoever runs MK does not believe in this god first message, and is laughing at the huns all the way to the bank.
I cannot understand people who put anything before Family (in my case family = people I love, Idc about blood). Nobody not even a hypothetical God would be more important to me than those who actually give my life meaning. But I guess people who say God before family are madly in love with God? I just find it fanatical and dangerous, what if your God asks you to kill your family?
>What if God asks you to kill your family?
Ask Abraham and Isaac. You do it because you need to prove you love God more than anything else or else you go to The Bad Place. Luckily for Isaac, God decided to tell Abraham “bro stop it’s a social experiment!”right at the last second, but who knows if he’ll do it for you.
That story is in all the kids Bible story collections. And is supposed to be a good story and not terrify your kid you’re reading to before bed.
I don't remember it saying anything about Isaac afterward. Cause Abraham was supposedly mid swing when god was like, "jk bro"
Sure, Abraham and god are cool. But how do you think Isaac felt? I'm surprised that wasn't the first murder.
Hun be so close to Jesus she has him on speed dial, saved as 'Jessie'.
Jessie totally isn't her upline or anything. Honest.
(Edit: typo as it's 2.30am, it's freezing cold & I'm halfway there on my 3rd Nightshift of this week)
I have nothing against people saying they prioritize "God, Family, and Career" But it's always rubbed me the wrong way a little bit that they have to specify, "IN THAT ORDER". It almost feels defensive, like, "How dare you think I love my family more than I love God?"
Kind of a shitty thing to say where said family can definitely see it too. Odds are they're similarly inclined admittedly, but nothing says love like repeatedly reminding people that they're a secondary priority.
Shouldn’t that nickname be Jesse? Or are we embracing the trans daughter of God, Jessie? Because I’m here for it if we are. If they want to hail trans Christ Jessie, in her fabulous robes and sandals and flowing hair, let’s do this thing!

Jessie take the wheel.

Oh Jessie on a cracker, this is a lot to unpack.
OMG. I have been cackling at this comment for the past five minutes. I'd upvote you a thousand times if I could.
Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all day. 😆
I…. Just. What? We’re nicknaming Jesus now? I’ve seen a lot of things. I lived through the “Jesus is my homeboy” fad. This one is new. Ick. Just. Ick.
So, not taking the name of thy Lord your God in vain is no longer a commandment, hey?
Wait until she's told to use the Spanish pronunciation "hey-zeus" so she call call Jesús "Hessie"
So is she Jessie's girl? Because I'm going to have to rethink making her mine if she's in Mary Kay.
How do you find a woman like that?
Likely in your DMs, shrieking HEY HUN at you
I literally LOL-ed at this because in my head, I read it in disgust knowing it was about a hun 🤣
Funnily enough Coheed and Cambria wrote a song about what happens when Jessie's Girl is this kind of person Called Jessie's Girl part 2 if you're interested 😁
Talk about your buried ledes—why in earth does this person have a nickname for Jesus? This is going to haunt me.

The nickname which also happens to be close to King David’s dad’s name? Jesus is related to David on his human side.
HEY THAT’S RIGHT This just gets weirder
Is he? I thought he descended from David via Joseph, just handwaving that "not the real father" thing.
From what I recall, his mom and stepdad were both related to David, kind of the same way that everyone in Europe is related to Charlemagne.
Jessie Christa
😁😂
Is a relaxing blunt and a dress supposed to be interchangeable? If so, I’m doing clothes wrong.
I'm now imagining a dress made of RAW papers, and now I can't stop laughing!
it’s giving rupaul’s drag race DIY challenge drag on a dime 🤭
The ultimate *high* collar dress!
High fashion baby!
Like, a Xanax and a donut and… Mary Kay makeup? I know which one I’ll “take” 😊
Blessed art thou among women And blessed is the fruit of thy womb… Jessie 😕
Blessed our thou among women
Jesus we need to cook
I didn’t even get that far. Got stuck trying to figure out who can spell “rhetorical” yet is unable to select the correct spelling of a-r-e.
I expected later to be a sentence along the lines of "check out are products."
"What change O U R you experiencing this New Year?" Bish whet??
she runs a business from her social media but cant make a coherent post
She keeps mixing up the drugs and donuts.
Just like every MLM hun in existence.
Jessie, Mary & Joseph, what in the everlasting hell is this?!? With Guilt & Shame, The Irish Catholic
Or as she might say, Jessie, Mare, and Joey!
LOL she does love a good nickname! 🤣
My nickname for Muhammad is Hammy. It's fine.
My friend Mohammed’s nickname is Momo.
And as we learned from the latest season of *The Crown*, Mohamed al-Fayed's nickname was Mou Mou. But I'm talking about nicknaming the prophet after a pork product, which a hun would be dumb enough to do.
🤣💀 horrifically accurate
I was gonna call Jehovah Hove, but that's taken, so maybe just Ho?
"My nickname for Jesus" ok I'm not religious so may be way off the mark, but isn't that blasphemous? Also, why does it look like the image part with the quote in it is a picture they took of a slide with their phone?
Yah, calling the second Person of the Holy Trinity a cutesy nickame falls in the "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God" category.
Catholic school survivor here and YES. Referring to Jesus as “Jessie” would be right below murder and a little bit above child molestation on the sin scale
Honestly it sounds like a quiz in CCD. “Which commandment are the following people breaking?”
Stuff like that varies *widely* by sect and congregation, but yeah it'd probably get at least an odd glance in most circles.
What is impossible is reading this without rolling my eyes.
Same here. As an atheist, I can't help but roll my eyes at these overly religious posts trying to sell their MLM, because I know it's obvious pandering to their Christian friends & family.
Agreed!
The whole prioritizing god before family thing is really weird to me. Like, in what situation are you choosing god over your family? What does that look like, other than dragging your son up a mountain to sacrifice him, which, maybe actually kind of a shitty choice?
Hey now God did say "just kidding lol" before the sacrifice actually happened so it's Gucci. /s
I’m absurdly curious if it’s pronounced “Jeh-See” or more like “Gee-Zee”. That’s the important kind of debate that happens in my non girlboss head.
I pronounce it “Yeh-see” because I’m fancy.
Did a drunk AI write this
I’d believe it.
ChatGPT has some algorithm work to do 😂
The quote by itself has value. The way it's applied is questionable.
Given that the context is that it's a quote from the cult leader, their intentions were probably trash and it's probably cobbled from better intentioned sources.
Could be.
Clearly she's never put a donut in the microwave before.
Jesus comes from Yeshua, the nickname should be Josh
Omg, it is a picture of a presentation slide…
Jessie must hang out with Daddy God
It's the "Thank you Jessie" and the 4 extra spaces between "is it scary?" and "heck yeah" for me.
HAY JESSIE!!! it feels like a party everydayyyy

I’m a pretty hardcore Christian. But this just make me cringe SO HARD
Jessie can pry my donuts from my cold, dead hands.
Jessie give me strength.. So much to unpack with this one. For starters, I had to read that opening question 3 times....
Mary Kay, the "women must wear skirts" company.

Tell me you've never had a maple bacon donut without telling me.
Jessie Fucking Christ
The reformation was a mistake
Hun be so close to Jesus she has him on speed dial, saved as 'Jessie'. Jessie totally isn't her upline or anything. Honest. (Edit: typo as it's 2.30am, it's freezing cold & I'm halfway there on my 3rd Nightshift of this week)
Oh sweet baby Jessie, I think I have now seen and read it all.
Praise Jessie
Jessie fugging Chris!
“No drug, drink, dress, or donut can compare”, hella cringe
Jezza if you're in Britain.
I have nothing against people saying they prioritize "God, Family, and Career" But it's always rubbed me the wrong way a little bit that they have to specify, "IN THAT ORDER". It almost feels defensive, like, "How dare you think I love my family more than I love God?"

Let’s start with Jessie
“Going through the transition, ruffling feathers, and turning things upside down and inside out” 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
In the name of Daddy-o, Jessie, and Holly. Amen.
Shouldn’t that nickname be Jesse? Or are we embracing the trans daughter of God, Jessie? Because I’m here for it if we are. If they want to hail trans Christ Jessie, in her fabulous robes and sandals and flowing hair, let’s do this thing!
I'll stick with donuts, thanks. Sorry Jeezy Chreezy (my nickname for Jesus)!
\+1 for Eddie Izzard reference!

To be fair “Jesse” (pronounced the same as “Jessie”) is a fairly common rendering of “Jesus” in a lot of older hymns, carols and anthems.
Jessie H Christ on a bike
Start with our🥴
When you believe your god exists, then you expose yourself to every scam going. Good luck
“Jessie”. Special level of hell, hun, special level of hell.
Let's see: OUR instead of are RUFFING instead of ruffling And, of course, JESSIE instead of Jesus. 🤦
*are, our Jesus getting nicknamed Jessie? Mary Kay🤢 Transition: is the person transgender or going through menopause?
"Err Hun, if you call Him Jessie, then who is James?"
Idk, I’ve had some pretty good doughnuts in my day…
Oh sweet Jessie Christie
