Anyone who has searched YouTube for freeze content has certainly, on multiple occasions, found video of some Spanish-speaking Christian youth group staging some sort of morality play involving a mannequin. It seems to be a popular theme. I've never made it all the way through one of these, but I guess the story is that a passive individual can get all manner of cheap, gaudy, and sinful things lain upon them, but that the word of Christ will give them life and be active and make good decisions, or something like that. I'm really not sure.

Anyone with a better grasp on the culture who might explain why this is such a recurring motif, and why it only seems to be staged in Latino churches?

The exact reason why is a popular subject is not clear, but my strongest guess is because someone thought of it and the rest of cults thought it was cool and decided to imitate the "trend", pretty much the same happened when V&R in Japan decided to do a first "TimeStop" video and everybody else decided to go through that route lol.

The mannequin apparently represents the fact that a person without an imaginary friend (ooops sorry, a god I meant) is like an empty shell, devoid of "true" life, in other words if you do anything different than worship their deity you're a sinner and you'll go to hell. The fact that a lot of us are using these videos as inspirational material for private adult self gratification is quite ironic

Oh, I think the reason is much simpler.

Some church youth group directors have a freeze fetish, and they have found a way to get the girl of their choice to mannequin pose, rehearsal after rehearsal, and on video as well.

Oh, wait, church leaders never have sexual thoughts. Nor would any youth group directors have hidden motives for volunteering for the job.
My mistake!
