Anna Rexia Costume- Really?

I saw this horrible thing again. At this time of year, Halloween costumes are in the air. And I thought the last few years when this costume trended on internet sites, there was enough of a protest to stop it. I'm not going to post the picture of the costume. It is that horrible. Anna Rexia, the costume, is not a cute, clever, sexy or healthy thing to put out there. But painful, disparaging and triggering? Ohhhhhhh yes!!! Scripture, again, warns us about being sensitive and not purposely creating triggering situations for those who are struggling… “But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak.” 1 Corinthians 8:9 “Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.” Romans 14:13 I guess we still need more reminding. We aren’t getting it yet. Sad. Disturbing. Horrifying. Disappointing. Infuriating. And probably, unfortunately, triggering to someone out there. Copyright © 2013 by Sheryle Cruse
