They're giving them a ray of hope and a way out of the deep hopelessness they live in.
And since I have never even witnessed to a prostitute before, I'll keep my mouth shut about what they're doing.

AQP....you've just summed up my thoughts and feelings on this.
To be truthful, I was ready to laugh this off at the beginning. I was honestly surprised to find myself in tears by the end of the video. Who better to reach out to this community than someone who has lived the life?

They paid for their time not for a dance.

I really doubt that most prostitutes would listen to a word I have to say. I've had a privileged life, and they'd know it. They'll listen to this lady, though.
And they *pay* for lap dances, they don't *get* them.
"Hookers for Jesus" sounds like they are still hookers. They're not.

See Jesus going into places naked women dance? See him walking into the bedroom of a whore? Yes, that's what adult films are. If you want to have a ministry for these people in this industry, fine. But can you do it and not look like a hooker yourself?
Reminds me of the woman they had debating with Carlton Pearson about the subject of Hell. Where do they find these people? TV/media programmers love it.

So do you sit in your church and wait for people to show up? or maybe you meet them at the Hometown Buffet? How do you "go into THE WORLD" if you never leave your pew or computer?

Jeffrey, I haven't lost a single scruple. LOL!!! I'm just trying to be FAIR, and not condemn people who seem to have good motives. I know missionaries who have preached the gospel to NAKED NATIVES--they didn't clothe them first. Now, how did they do that, with all those naked parts staring right back at them??????
If anyone could talk to a naked woman and look past the blatant sexuality and see the lost soul inside, it would be Jesus! However, I'm sure the average male couldn't do that. Or even the average woman. The women in question here, though, came out of that life, and so maybe it is something they can handle.
I don't KNOW for sure, and I'm not willing to write them off as whackos and jokes, since they seem to be doing some GOOD.
|
Naked natives and porn stars. Hmmm... I just think it's goofy. This is why so many laugh at Christians. I think these women just need some guidance with their passion. They need a pastor who doesn't think he is Hugh Heffner.
I'm not "condemning" them. Please don't ante up my scrutiny. That's not fair.

Condemning? Judgement? What are you reading? I said GOOFY? LUDICROUS? CHEESY EVEN!
Quit putting words in someone's mouth.
I love how someone else can't have an opinion without their own Christianity being attacked. You guys are displaying hypocrisy to the highest degree.

Seriously? You take Mt 28:19 as permission to go go hang out at adult video awards shows? Misguided my friend.
These girls have good intentions, but are misguided.
AQP, I will watch Video 2 later.

I didn't attack your Christianity I attacked you attitude. You are really a bit of a cry baby tonight, dude, get over yourself.
You judged someone else efforts to spread the gospel as goofy and ludicrous, reaching people that you prefer to refer to in nasty terms rather than put out any effort to reach.

I do not go into adult video awards shows. But I do go where hurting people are. How do you interpret the scripture? What is the world?
