Guest shiloh357 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 who's putting her down? I'm just saying she's been a glorified sex worker which she has. There are plenty of nice prostitutes and strippers around as well. Does that justify what they do for a living? Yeah... uh, YOU are putting her down by comparing her with prostitutes.

Glad I took a while before I got back on here. If I had posted a thread on here praising a very successful prostitute or stipper for making heaps of money and being a very nice person, it probably would have been deleted. The duplicity of the west - (and suprise, suprise, how much of it is in the church.) Explains a lot about our inability to save the world. As I already stated. If a stripper or prostitute turned up at your average church, they'd risk ostracism. But if someone who used sex to build their career as a celebrity did it, people would be fawning and dribbling all over them. Using sex to sell a product that makes you money classifies you as a sex worker. And I notice none of you are actually answering my points (because you can't) merely condeming me for bringing them up. Again. Can't say I'm really suprised. My comment was on western duplicity and hypocrisy in this area and you guys have just perfectly illustrated my point. I feel sorry for both celebrities and strippers here. If christians can't maintain christian standards in response to them, then it's understandable why so few become or survive as christians.

I agree, Redwing. What a terrible thing to say about someone who is kind and has never done any of the things that Yesult accuses her of. Shame on him.

Shame on him. thanks for sticking up for dolly guys --i for one wont ever think badly of her because she doesnt deserve the degrading comments being thrown her way on here!! not to mention that her song"coat of many colors" really helped me growing up dirt poor in kentucky and helped me to ignore all of the "white trash" remarks. lv yr sis in christ manie I guess we ought not judge others by their looks and deeds, the inner self ...the heart matters a lot. Remember the thief who was crucified along side Jesus? We would have condemned him to hell.... but see the fellow is in the right place with Jesus in heaven. We are not better than others.. Give Dolly a break. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer - if a woman is putting her assets on display to up her saleablity (and to say that dolly doesn't do this is ridiculous and completly the denying the obvious) is using sex to make money. That makes you a sex worker. Actually I have seen celebrities fawned over simply because they were celebrites, regardless of their actual christian walk. U2 and bono are a perfect example. I have also seen women with 'questionable' pasts ostracised. As for implants. I think linking is disallowed on here. But here are a couple of posts that you can copy and paste if the link is removed. http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler...lly20Parton.jpg http://www.yourcelebritystuff.com/wp-conte...olly-parton.jpg and http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/p...ton-Posters.jpg she could have done a great many things to make money off of her figure, but she didn't. And since you don't know much about her - how do you know what she has or hasn't done? Some more links - and hoping the moderators won't see the need to delete them as being inappropriate. http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/dolly-parton_3.Jpg http://www.ratewall.com/cpics/ac7df736-44a...0Parton%207.jpg http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/142761.jpg did it help her career? probably. Of course it did. Sex sells. And record companys know that as well as performers. but she didn't sell her body like a prostitute does and what you're equating her with doing. Putting your body on display to make money is selling your body. That's what porn stars and strippers do. Prostitutes go one step further. But it's all selling sex for financial gain, because sex sells. Thank you charitow for at least trying to answer my points. I appreciate that someone actually took the time instead of completly ignoring them and writing me off. And as for putting all christians in the one boat - I wasn't, just saying here is a perfect example of why there are so few ex-strippers or sex workers and celebrities in the church. If the church en masse (which is why I used the word 'average' church) can't behave in a christian manner to both ends of the spectrum because of bias, it's understandable. And you can say that most christians arn't like that. Well hopefully. But why in a four page thread - is there only one poster (me) drawing attention to the issue under the attack of the rest? I think that in itself gives a pretty good example of averages in this area. PS.

I was just drawing attention to the hypocrisy of glossing over someones sin because they're famous. Thank you for responding! Although I disagree that anyone who uses sex to make money is not using sex to make money. God bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking down on her just because of what she does to her body and so forth does not mean a thing. What matters is her relationship with God. That's my opinion.
