Cathloic/religous brides... What do I do with statue?

Hello there!

I am Catholic, but not very religious. My FH is Jewish. My new house has a statue of some saint in my garden that is falling apart. My FH and I want to get rid of it, but I feel guilty in throwing it in the garbage. How do I dispose of this? I feel that bad luck will come to us if I just toss it out. Don't laugh, but I've concidered either burying it in our backyard or leaving it infront of a church at night.... of course I;m not too serious of abandioning it at a church.

What can I do with it?????

this is funny!

I totally understand your dilemma though. My parents have this statue of St. Joseph in the backyard, and the head fell off like 5 years ago, and nobody wants to throw it away because they are afraid God will be mad! So it's this decapitated scary statue that my sister's kids are TERRIFIED of!

I say - we (as Catholics) are not supposed to 'worship any idols' - just trash the dang thing. There are no 'curses' in the Catholic OR Jewish faith.

Good luck!

Jenny, I couldn't stop laughing when I read your post! hahahaha!!

LOL!!!! that is just too funny Jenny!

I'm glad someone can relate! I guess I will end up just tossing it out, but I'm soooo afraid that anything that will ever happen in our house (as minor as it may be) will be a result of the curse tossing this statue has caused us.

I'm glad ours is not decapitated! It is in one piece (although decrepid) and the 'shell' backing is half off. I am also afraid of my neighbors seeing my FH and I hauling it away will be horrified since they all have statues themselves!

Thanks for making me laugh!

Oh my, I haven't laughed like that while sitting in front of a computer in a long time!!!!

I would advise donating it to the church. If they want to trash it, let it be on their heads.

A decapitated saint. I can't stop laughing.

i am another one here hysterical and even called FH to the pc to see the post and he was even laughing LOL!!!!!!!!
If it were me, I'd bring it and leave it at the church! I believe in stuff like that, I couldn't throw it out, I'd be scared!
