>Lem Billings
>Known for his close and long-time friendship with John F. Kennedy and the Kennedy family.
>Billings, a 16-year-old third-year student, and John F. Kennedy, a 15-year-old second-year student, met at Choate, an elite preparatory school in Wallingford, Connecticut. The Depression had hurt the Billings family financially, and Lem Billings was at Choate on scholarship. Billings repeated his senior year so that he and Kennedy could graduate from Choate together in 1935.
>Billings visited the White House on most weekends during the Kennedy Administration. When a butler commented on the fact that Billings was leaving his belongings in one of the third-floor guest rooms, the First Lady replied: "He's been my house guest since I was married."
>Friends from the 1970s confirmed that Billings was gay, but not open to discussing it. One historian wrote that after the 1963 assassination Billings was "probably the saddest of the Kennedy 'widows'."
>Some historians believe that Billings expressed his sexual interest in Kennedy in writing in 1934 and that Kennedy rebuffed his advances. Kennedy knew that gay behavior on the part of Billings had been revealed by a fellow Choate student during their years there.
>He maintained close ties to the Kennedys and their children for the rest of his life, frequently socializing with Bobby Kennedy Jr., to whom he became almost a surrogate father.
>Billings died in his sleep following a heart attack in his Manhattan apartment. His dying wish was for the young Kennedy men to carry his casket to its final resting place. When they arrived at the cemetery, it was already in place to be lowered. The young Kennedys took the casket and carried it around the gravesite before returning it to the burial plot.

Today I learned Mary was TWELVE when she gave birth to Jesus…
No. 2494585
>>2494242I remember being a kid and reading that she was 13 in some trash newspaper, I was so shocked, I could not sleep. But as even ai says in your screenshot, there are hardly any ages in the bible, I don't even think she was ever described as young. Most christians believe she was something like 16 because her being not married yet at a much older age was sadly uncommon back than.
But if moids insist on her having been only 12/13 it's creepy and just reminds me of the insanely low ages in the quran.

>>2499490A lot of people seem to think he just slipped right out of her
No. 2499632
>>2494242Okay but all this story needs clarifying. Bible is a bit obscure and fragmented but according to "lives of saints" descriptions it is most likely that she birthed at 14-15, not 12. Mary has already given celibacy oath and until 12th years of age she was getting educated at the temple in the ways of god. 12,5 years is when women become "marriable" in jewish tradition so she could no longer be a pupil at a temple. But since she had given the oath, her parents decided that she will be marrying some old dude who they could entrust to keep her virginity intact and just act as her presentative in the society of adult. Basically her marriage was supposed to function like adoption, it was just a way for her to get human rights in patriarchal society. Joseph himself was chosen by some ritual and did not want to engage since he was afraid of his children's scorn and social mockery due to huge age gap. This stands to point out that, regardless of whenever this story is true, society that compiled it did not actually indulge think that pedophillia is ok, young were supposed to marry others equally young. Anyways, according to jewish tradition there is a one year gap between engagement and actual marriage. So then the story goes that after marriage Joseph left for half a year to work on construction, and this is when Mary got pregnant. It is also likely that conception happened closer to the end of those 6 months because between josephs return and the birth itself, lots of shit happened and information used to move much slower back then. So she was 13,5+ years at the very least when she got pregnant, realistically probably closer to 14.
