Title: Bringing the Word to strippers

I admire this group for acting upon their beliefs and reaching out to this population.  Interesting comment by one of the dancers about she could either work for minimum wage and never see her kids, or she could dance two nights a week, make more money, and stay with her kids.

The question the ministry needs to ask itself, Morgan said after a long pause, is: are the trips to the strip clubs an avenue to meaningful change, or a means of self-glorification?

Amen, Sister.

It's good they're having such an impact, though.

Quote
A woman wearing nothing but a tiny blue plaid skirt interjected: “Oh come on, they’re so annoying.”

As she put on her shoes, she explained: “I go to church every Sunday, so I can tell. Even though they’re technically doing this from the ‘kindness of their hearts’, I know they don’t think we’re on the same level as them.”

Quote
“Jesus hates me!” yelled a woman called Chloe, laughing hard at the prospect. “I’m a sinner!”

...

“But yo, look, they actually approve of what we do, and they’re just trying to be nice,” she said in a raspy voice. “I’m Episcopalian, I believe in all gods! Except Satanism, I don’t *expletive deleted*ck with that. So, I can go to a Muslim church or a Jewish synagogue and I can appreciate everything. I’m open – the church ladies, they’re not that open. But they’re still pretty chill.”

Quote
Lucy, a thin woman in purple underwear, straightened her hair and said nervously: “To be honest, I always thought it was pretty weird. Like, obviously they’re coming here to make it seem like people care about us and to give us comfort, but it’s not like they really know us! They just give us stuff and leave.”

Something tells me a stack of scripture hand outs won't get you the same level of table dance or attention at the stage as slipping cash in their g-strings.

Been out of the world for a spell... like to walk it a while. Maybe bring the word to them as need it told.


Seriously, 8 replies to get to a Firefly quote....COME ON PEOPLE, you're all slipping around here....

Fine line here between 'stripper' and 'escort'.

Are you suggesting that an escort does more than just go somewhere with you as eye candy?  :O
