It has been my experience that those who supply, enable or partake of the oldest profession are eventually consumed by it and spat out like a heap of snow covered dung.

No matter how anyone spins it, it is exploitative, oppresive & demeaning. Without exception, the glamourization of sex is a slippery slope. And yes, even gossiping and pandering to bedroom fantasies and adventures is a sin in egual measures.
Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

I too have had stripper friends. A neighboring catholic friend, in particular, came to me one night wanting to go for a motorcycle ride. As it turned out, she had the “bright” idea to commit suicide by “falling” off the back of my bike in a burst of acceleration.

She didn’t want to blow her brains out with a gun or slit her wrists. She figured if she fell on her back, death would be painless and she would remain pretty for her funeral. Warped eh?

I talked some sense into her by pointing out that her solution would only cause more problems for those left behind. 1) Jesus loved her and wanted to heal her, 2) The Bible views suicide as the last act of sin, 3)More than likely, she wouldn’t die, but end up cripped/vegitative for life, 4) Her 4 yr old son would grow up wondering why he was abandonned by her, and 5) I’d hang in Texas for manslaughter, suicide note or not.

She was a 3.5 GPA cheerleader that got pregnant (so much for safe sex) going into her Senior year, dropped out, and divorced within a couple of years. Working at MickeyDees & Del Taco wasn’t cutting it, especially when the ex wasn’t making much, thus child support was chump change.

A “friend” talked her into stripping for the big bucks. Needless to say after a few months of being objectified, she got depressed and wound up on my bike wanting to end it all.

I prayed with her and talked her into going back to her family’s church for spiritual and outreach help. When that didn’t work, I encouraged her to seek out a spiritual woman in her Aunt’s Baptist church who could be her mentor. After talking to her Aunt, she opened her home so that my friend could save money, get her GED and go to college. That was all fine and dandy for about a year. But the lure of easy money drew her back to stripping, then she started escorting business men on trips.

By that time, she was avoiding me and we lost touch. Years later, I heard thru a friend of a friend that supposedly she OD’d on Crank.

So on several levels, I find it unfair that, all too often, for women to get ahead financially, they have to sell their bodies. But rather than looking to God and his Word for solutions, secularist insist on throwing out our God-given operator’s manual and going with ad hoc and elitist feel-good blueprints.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not insensitive or intolerant to sinners. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Jesus’ example was to commune with sinners and offer spiritual (not sexual) healing thru redemption. However, if rejected or scorned by the sick, we’re to shake the dust of f our shoes and move on.

The thrust of my point is that I seriously doubt that La Shawn would go ga-ga over hob-nobbing with the likes of Wonkette. To celebrit-ize Wonkette would be to trivialize the sin of gossip and fornication.

I’ve got a stripper friend and I find it’s best in our friendship not to be so disgustingly judgmental. Perhaps that how Wonkette was with the Washintonienne. Hate the sinner love the sin sort of thing.

I repeat, why would any self-respecting girl want to hang out with them, unless it was to witness to them about their lost condition.

Do they both need our Christian love & prayers? Of course.

Do we give celebrity-like adoration or pay some kind of homage? Of course not.

Skanky is as skanky does.

Wonkette is a prostitute? I seriously didn’t know this. Unlike Gannon, I haven’t seen nude pictures of Ana Marie Cox. Please do provide them. Or, provide a receipt of the services in which you partook to be able to make the claim she is a prostitute.

Partisan or not–her commentary can be quite funny.

Remember Gannon? Wonskanke is self-admittedly just the other side of the same coin, IF rumors about Gannon are true. And if not true, she’s still is on that side of the coin.

The most important question from CPAC–did you get to Ana Marie Cox of Wonkette? Is she as vulgarly fabulous as she is on her site?

tags were ignored. Just for future reference let me do a quick experiment.

This is supposed to be a blockquote

Experiment concluded.

Kerry must have seen me in the water and directed his driver, Del Sandusky, to turn the boat around. Kerry’s boat ran up to me in the water, bow on, and I was able to climb up a cargo net to the lip of the deck. But, because I was nearly upside down, I couldn’t make it over the edge of the deck. This left me hanging out in the open, a perfect target. John, already wounded by the explosion that threw me off his boat, came out onto the bow, exposing himself to the fire directed at us from the jungle, and pulled me aboard.

As John McCain noted, the television ad aired by these veterans is “dishonest and dishonorable.” Sen. McCain called on President Bush to condemn the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush ad. Regrettably, the president has ignored Sen. McCain’s advice.

So, La Shawn, I hope you are having a great conference, but remember John McCain’s warning about the deplorable Swift Boat liars.

Why do you insist on continuing to smear John Kerry? It’s not very Christian of you. You talk the talk, but you don’t walk the walk. I have always been amazed at people Like hannity and coulter, who claim to be Christian and act in a manner that flys in the face of the teachings of Christ. Would Jesus talk this way about anybody? Would he profit from hate speak about someone he doesn’t agree with? Why would you glorify these people?

I’m just curious because I can’t for the life of me figure out how to justify this behaviour in any context of the Bible. Help me out here, give me some indication of how this is Okay.

LOL!

It had to be hysterical to see a bunch of people trying to have a conference with laptops blazing and everyone trying to talk while typing!

But they’re very nice and well-mannered. They’re also very young. If you’re thinking conservatives are a bunch of old coots longing for the day…
