WWJD?


As Asuka posted just awhile ago, yesterday the five of us designed and decorated our Visible People t-shirts. We wanted to make a statement: the message you see on a t-shirt really isn't the whole picture.

The message on my t-shirt: WWJD. What would Joseph Kony do?
WWJD is a common saying with one original meaning: "What would Jesus do?"

Wikipedia describes WWJD as follows:

The phrase "What would Jesus do?" (often abbreviated to WWJD) became popular in the United States in the 1990s and as a personal motto for adherents of Evangelical Christianity who used the phrase as a reminder of their belief in a moral imperative to act in a manner that would demonstrate the love of Jesus through the actions of the adherents.

For variations on the definition, see Urban Dictionary.

...so we decided to ask, "What would Joseph Kony do?" The message ties together elements of Kony's prominence as the leader of the LRA, the religiosity linked to his leadership, and Invisible Children's singular focus on Joseph Kony as their target to end the conflict in eastern Africa.

Confronted by an Invisible Children t-shirt, movie, blogpost, or webpage, what might Joseph Kony do?
