Tuesday, May 21, 2002 Stripper Gets rapped by Christians (That should get me some hits. I got a bunch yesterday of people googling about this story.) Update on the stripper mom from my blog here. Her 5 year old daughter will finish kindergarten and get her little party because mommy will take a leave of absence from stripping for the next three weeks or so; and explore other job offers including an insurance company and radio station... after her plight (yeah, what a sad plight) became national news and fodder for radio talk shows around the world, according to the Sac Bee. She's not doing it for the church, though, but so her daughter can have her graduation party. (Since when do you have graduation for kindergarten? This is getting ridiculous.) She appeared on national morning shows and The O'Reilly Factor touting her story, often with her (ahem, former) pastor. Pastor Cole is quoted as saying, "It's been our desire to see her quit her job, move toward a new career path in her life. The path she was on was destructive. This one is constructive..." "But Silvas hasn't ruled out returning to nude dancing if none of the job offers pan out." If they don't pay as much - which they won't for an ignorant girl with entry level skills.) As for her daughter, she "wants to find a school less concerned with image and more concerned with the welfare of children." Funny, because she's not at all concerned about her image and the welfare of her daughter with a stripper mom. "I don't think the church's reaction was very Christ-like," she said. All her support seems to be coming from outside the church, she added. Yes, the Bee did a section on Letters to the Ed. and most of them pilloried the church for its cruelty, insensitivity, rigidity, and harshness. Many of the letters were from other Christians claiming shame for their religion. Amazing. posted by Mark Butterworth | 1:34 AM | |
