| Recently, I've been looking over my old Baptism files. All was normal except for the god parents' page. On this page or pages, there is a list of over 30 names who are my god parents?!?! I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, I'm sure this isn't very normal as well. My background is Chinese/Pinoy. Both sides of my family are Christian and Catholic. The Baptism took place in the US awhile back. Someone explain to me how this happened? I'm so curious |

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs. http://imgur.com/qgjKHGn |

I'm so curious This is a tradition thing(probably comes from getting money). You have typical 30 but not real 30. There is the main godfather and then the people that wright there names there and give small amounts of money. Nothing big really and they aren't actually your godfathers. It's like you have stockholders, the main stockholder and the small ones only that the smalls ones don't get involved in the company other than the small sum they initially gave. Something like that. |

| Could be a traditional thing. Godparents were originally just people who sponsored the Baptism. |

| Your parents are in the mob or spies. Likely when they are killed your god parents will be hunted down at random by the "Orginization" Untill the least likely one is the one that gets you. Enjoy your life. |
| Just like Monad said, it's a tradition, used to be pretty common too. The parents asked their acquaintances or certain influential people, even the king, to be the godparents, because it's good to have relatives like that, even if they don't actually do anything, and the more you have the better. But isn't this something you could ask from your parents instead? |
