For the record I feel this is wrong on the part of the pastors, it will only turn the "johns" against them. If they really want to shut those places down then reach out to and help the women who dance there. They are the real victims.
Agreed.
In what way are the women victims?
Someone should publish the license plate #’s of the pastors visiting the topless joint.
Too late for the o'l Kennedy / Dodd, waitress sandwich I suppose?
Those who care about this will just take a taxi.
If you don’t like t***y bars don’t go there and don’t encourage anyone else to.
Bad move by the preacher. The patrons are behaving in a perfectly legal manner and are not public figures, and given that the reason for publication of license plates is to damage their reputations, a slander lawsuit would have a pretty decent chance of succeeding, though actual monetary damages might be hard to prove.
Many years ago, when I worked in a small and very Conservative town in Ga someone thought they liven things up a little and opened a topless bar. It was a huge scandal and members of the local churches would hang out in the parking lot to see who would go in. They would also report the patrons to the HR departments of the major employers in the area. Back then most managers, supervisors and leads had to sign personal conduct clauses, a DUI could get you fired... I don’t think the topless bar lasted 3 months.....
seems like the last time they started this crap the Chicken ranch got closed down. if you don’t want see the women do go there!
Houston’s nasty lesbian mayor no doubt wants all the touching she can get. When that sinful city gets leveled, no one should blame God.

Maybe the same pastors should publish the license plate numbers of those parking in the Montrose for the Annual Gay Pride Parade.
We had this happen not too far from me. The bar got the permission to go topless, and then closed within a few months because of little to no business.
Yeah that will work. At least until several of the congregation and a couple associate pastors show up on the list!
Boring and expensive “entertainment”. Last time I was in one was for my bachelor party 36 years ago.
As long as they are located in areas where they don’t affect residential neighborhoods or commercial businesses that don’t mesh with the clientele the bars bring in, can’t say as I care.
Regarding the women that work there, closing the bars won’t change their problems. Working there is a symptom of their personal issues, not the cause.
Publish and be damned. Yet another example of a self righteous semi-Christian.
Why just TB? Why not publish the names and what ever of people who buy lottery tickets, booze, go to dance clubs, go to Catholic churches......
Here in N W WA they don’t even serve alcohol, just soft drinks. I don’t know why.
I think that this is a bad idea for a number of reasons. A titty bar is just that. Sometimes prostitution activity does go on, or else contacts are made for meetings later, off premises. But some men just want to be served by a topless woman. I think that some people use them for entertaining business clients, although I would think that this might backfire, too. They may find that a lot of these cars are borrowed, rented, car shares or company cars. Around here some dopey people don’t even change the registration when they sell a car(I had never heard of this—where I come from its the first thing you do when a vehicle changes hands.)
Around here the latest adult entertainment craze is bikini barista stands. It’s gotten so regular espresso drive ups have signs up saying “family friendly” so people who really just want coffee will know the difference.
A woman who dances naked in front of a man is exploiting his weakness for money/profit. Strippers are not victims, strippers are legal sexual predators.
This of course does not negate the man's responsibility for his own sin.
A stripper knows what she is doing. I know a lady who was a stripper and she told me outright that she was well aware of the fact that she was using her power over a man via his weakness to get money out of him. Her conscience bothered her eventually she had to get out of it.
