Yes, next there will be a prayer rug rolled up in the drawer along with a copy of the Koran (sp?) and the Communist Manifesto....
I’m at the Grand Hyatt in NYC right now...no Bible in the room... but there is a leaky loo, so all is not lost.
“romance concierge”
Really means: slutty periphenaila and softcore cable tv
If you don’t want porn movies in your room and you find yourself in a hotel wiith the “service,” call down to the desk and they will block those channels. We’ve done that for 15 years.
Nowadays, staying in a hotel room, could be like staying in
someone elses “sex-room”...man,you never know what was
going on, in the bed, or on those bed covers, or couches,
in the tub, etc....
I recently heard about some room maids in Germany who were
disgusted cause they had to clean up in rooms where
pornographic material was displayed ...yeeech...and let’s
say there were lots of “products of conception” all around.
I know they wash the sheets, and towels, but am not sure
about the bedcovers, carpets, tubs, couches, table tops,
etc...
Anybody here know about the sanitation in hotels, motels?
So the hoity toity (and some not so much) have given up Bibles for what? Bedbugs?!
I prefer the Bibles myself, but there’s no accounting for taste!
Those same hotels probably provide porn channels into the rooms now. America is going down!
“Providing Bibles would mean the hotel “would have to take care of every guest’s belief.”
They would? Says who? A private concern can provide what it wants.
I am going way out on a limb here but I am guessing that perhaps more people check into a trendy SOHO hotel with plans to have sex than to read a Bible.
Isn't that how it's always been for some of those lonely business travelers?! Pre-martial sex, adultery etc. weren't invented in the 1960's. LOL!
The last I noticed, Gideons was still providing the King James translation. If they want people to read their Bibles, they really need to upgrade their inventory with a more up to date translation.
Look at the historical record - when a nation decides to evict God - the nation is judged....
Of the last 3 overnight rentals I’ve stayed in, only one had a Bible in it. That was a gorgeous log cabin in Jasper National Park. Lots of God’s handiwork visible, and a Bible there.
The other two places were in large (over 1 million pop) cities. Cramped dirty cities. Little of God’s handiwork visible, no Bible.
>>>Unlike traditional hotels, the 10-year-old boutique has never put Bibles in its guest rooms, because “society evolves,” says hotel spokeswoman Lori DeBlois. Providing Bibles would mean the hotel “would have to take care of every guest’s belief.”<<<
God forbid we should stand up for our own beliefs. However, that would be judgmental.
Would the Janitors rather clean a room used by a Bible reader, or those looking for a “one night stand”?
God is going to get tired of this sh....t soon. Then lookout!It never fails.
Came across this bit of trivia while looking up stuff about the Gideons:
“On Christmas Eve 1968, the astronauts of the Apollo 8 mission read from the first part of Genesis during a live television broadcast from lunar orbit. A Japanese correspondent staying at a Houston hotel while covering the mission called NASA Public Affairs to request a copy of the speech that the astronauts were reading. The Public Affairs official asked where he was staying and then told him that if he opened the desk drawer in his room he would find a book and that he should open it to page one. The reporter found the Gideon Bible and later reported that “NASA Public Affairs is very efficient - they had a mission transcript waiting in my hotel room.”

This is sad. No one is forced to read that bible in the drawer, so it sure isn’t hurting anyone. I have heard anecdotes where the bible did some good, i.e. someone who was planning to commit suicide who found that bible in the drawer and ended up not doing so.
