YOU KNOW, maybe that's not such a good expression for Germans to use...
We want to get teenagers interested in God and the Bible, so we are going to have a naked bible calendar.
Did I get that straight? PING!!
just wait till they get to the song of solomon
Ich bin ein Bareloiner
Somehow, I can't see David hangin' around the well, shouting, "show us your-" to Bathsheba.
Thw shame of Adam and Eve got them to cover up their nakedness.
But that's not realy in the Bible, is it?
Just because there are prostitutes in the Bible, does not make it a holy calling.
And youth ministry appearing naked? Creepy.
Same principal used by the Children of God cult and their "flirty fishing".
CHURCH LADIES GO TOPLESS IN PEWS

In Battle Creek, Mich., 14 women of St. Thomas Episcopal Church – between ages 55 and 82 – actually bared their breasts to raise money for breast cancer research.
Calling themselves The Belles of St. Mary's, the women bared nearly all in an in-pew photo op at St. Thomas church for a calendar they hope will raise money for research.
But a mother of four, Helen Cook, who attends the parish, was outraged. Cook said she wrote to her rector, the Rev. Joy Rogers, and the parish's assistant, the Rev. Chris Yaw, saying they would not be returning to St. Thomas, and explaining why:
"I told them both that I found the calendar objectionable, inappropriate and that it ran counter to the morals I am attempting to instill into my children. 'Mother Joy', whose name takes on a whole new meaning to me now, never even bothered to answer me. No e-mail, no phone call, nothing. Father Chris answered very briefly, with the argument that there are two sides to everything and that if I reconsidered, to get in touch with him."
The national Episcopal Church magazine, Episcopal Life, reports religion writer David Virtue features this Playboy-style parish under the headline BARING (ALMOST ALL) FOR THE FAITH.
