I understand what you are saying but drying someone of the opposite sex's feet with your hair would look suspicious to those who have never watched Jesus minister.

*sigh* whatever. done with it.

Yes, pretty much. And as was stated there was a film crew of eight recording the happenings.

The name of the show is provocative and that nearly deterred our involvement. We had never seen the show either when we were asked to participate, but did investigate before agreeing.

How do you think that would look to some perverts of this world that do that very thing and turn it into hideous sins? Maybe you haven't lodged this way during your ministry travels but many have...we could put the same level of ugliness on them...but we wouldn't CUZ WE HAVE A CLUE!!!!

I would not stay on a home where the woman was there without her husband unless my wife was there.

Just a question as you know I have not and will not see the show if I told someone you had wife-swapped with someone else would not be insulted?

After saying this I am not impugning the Hoovers and if someone is saved because of this I rejoice and the result not necessarily the means.

We have had discussion with many people about the show and can honestly say most everyone understands the title of the show is simply a provocative marketing gimmick or parody. To my knowledge Mars Hill had no Christian or moral reputation, but God used the venue in spite of it's common use.

The only actual inference that there was any impropriety with our involvement came not from the culture we desired to impact but from a very conservative Christian man who used the occasion to impune us personally and judge our motives.

I am thankful we are then rejoicing together.

I suppose that you hold out your arrogance and pride as proof of your superior spirituality.
