excuse me, who are you, and what are you doing in OPH's body....
I was just agreeing with xs, that StripperMom(TM) has had some work done.
Of course, if it did not matter that we obey the commandments to "not forbid" little ones, Jesus should have known better than go on so about it. Apparently, it matters NOT whether Church leaders obey the commands regarding little children or not. This is yet another form of CHILD abuse by phony Christian leaders.
Then religious idiots whine about "Why are folks turning away from God, in their personal and business lives?"
Hello!!! maybe it has something to do with the fact that the folks who are supposed to be acting like Jesus... are acting like Beelzebub instead...
Salt, that has LOST its savor, is to be cast out and rejected by men... according to that annoying prophet and son of God... Jesus Christ. The leadership of many Churches has lost their savor. It matters little though, because so have MOST of the sheep, in the local flocks... Do you think phony hypocrites in Church leadership, might cause the sheep to fall away from God? Do you not believe sheep can and are "led astray?" Abandoning the child, because parents in the local church are upset about the mom's employment, even if she is a crack whore... is WRONG.
Funny that a stripper has more understanding of the principles of faith... than the preachers do... Like Jesus said to the "church" leaders of His day, scribes, pharisees, saducees and priests... "Whores and drug abusers will enter MY Father's kingdom BEFORE you ever will..."
Funny how HIS words still ring true... while the apologists for the phonies, go on about how this is NO big deal... just like they did the sexual molesters in another Big Christian Denomination.
Sin that hurts little kids by Christian leaders... IS a big deal... ESPECIALLY to those in alleged Christian leadership.
Offending "little ones" is but a precursor behavior to a damnation so severe, that being fitted with a millstone, and thrown into the sea, would be a better choice of behaviors for the offenders, according to Jesus.
You got a problem with THAT... why not take it up with Jesus, instead of me?
LOL!! I don't think men go to look at their faces.
Well, at least one member of the church did. So, what should be done with them?
If you feel she and her daughter should be kicked out of the church because this woman failed to tell the church about her employment or that she be booted because she is a "risk taker," then you have illustrated my point quite well.
You and I simply disagree on the function of the church.
Thou shalt not bear FALSE witness-- she lied on the school application. It's the schools' business to protect kids from sin, and sin harms anyone who touches it, even if it's a little white lie. Even Buddhists, etc. buy that one-- it's all about Karma. Did she break the LAW?-- yes, and as a consequence she's booted out until... but she doesn't care, because she has some other idea of WWJD. She believes that stripping for Jesus, (buying her kid a christian education), makes her a better mother for her child, than if she didn't, while she can't feel any sense of pride about her stripping job. That sounds a little conflicted-- and on-going conflict isn't healthy-- for mom or child.
Her possible decision to resume her stripping career in three weeks, if nothing pans out, is evidence of the pathology that exists-- otherwise, she never would agree to this arrangement. Why would she, otherwise, put her kid back into a school, where she and all her supporters feel THEY (the church) harmed her and her child, by not teaching correct principles (WWJD)? This woman has her head screwed on backwards-- it was never about the daughter, it was always about the mom.
