Recovering IFB said:...The Pharisees/Fundies would rather see these women wither in their sins with little or no compassion for them.
Not only is that an outright lie, it is a moronic outright lie.

So, if I don't go to the club and seek out the Chippendales (or other male strippers), or go to the gay bar and witness to those there, or any number of other similar scenarios I am now "more worried about [my] reputation and holy street cred than the soul of a lost person..."? Okay, this is one of those statements that, before you say it, you really need to turn your ears inside out and hear how stupid it sounds.subllibrm said:...
When a believer is more worried about his reputation and holy street cred than the soul of a lost person there is something seriously wrong.

You're really going to equate Ananias being sent to Saul who was praying in the house of a guy named Judas with a bunch of ladies going to a strip club?subllibrm said:...
BTW I am glad that Ananias obeyed God and went to minister to Saul. Because the good folks at 1st Baptist Damascus weren't going to be seen with that guy.

He wasn't good at avoiding the appearance of evil was he? ????FSSL said:This reminds me of a friend of mine who was a Director of Awana in the state of Michigan. Someone took a picture of his van parked outside of a bar back in the 1980s.
It caused a great disturbance in the IFB of Michigan force.
The guy was visiting his uncle, who lived above the bar.
FSSL said:Unfortunately, some did say it was poor that he parked his car there. He should have met his uncle elsewhere.

If you knock on every door in your area, regularly, and visit the jail every week, and County facilities in your county....
and any other group home, halfwayhouse, ladies shelter, College Campus, etc.....
You'll meet the strippers eventually, as well.

subllibrm said:Reminds me of the deacon who was concerned that unsaved family members for an upcoming funeral might stand out on the church porch to smoke.
What would people think?
No, it's pretty much par for the course when it comes the that brand of Fundamentalists. They become more concerned about what people will think if they are seen doing something evil or something they see that might throw themselves into a throws of an evil sinful activity if they are confronted with a sinful activity.Anchor said:Not only is that an outright lie, it is a moronic outright lie.
I am assuming you have some reliable sourcing on that statement (other than "...my aunt's cousin's 1st husbands' daughter-in-law assured me that is the way it is..." [or similar}). Otherwise, it remains "a moronic...lie."Recovering IFB said:...
