Damn! You beat me to it!

The horror...the horror...

[VOA]

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.

When my engagement to an Episcopalian lady broke down a decade ago...
how could I have know that the Lord meant it for good?

I just can't see myself attending what is increasingly
the Church of The NativityNudity and Gayity.

(I say that with apologies to the shrinking body of virtuous Episcopalians)

[twinzmommy]

I guess I should clarify. God forbid someone might see more of a breast! In breastfeeding the nipple is exposed for a flash of a moment. These women weren't even showing THAT much. That was my point.

*shrugs* I *still* don't see the big deal. More power to them.

"Sagging in the Pews".

LOL!

[expatguy]

That and grown men becoming butt pirates and impaling each other in the unholiest of holes.

[Constantine XIII]

LOL, when I clicked I said to myself "Betchya their Episcopal."

[Lijahsbubbe]

making fun of the women

Give me a break. Do you think they deserve respect? They're disrespecting themselves! They deserve respect about as much as the next whore.

Disrespecting themselves? How do you know they don't have tank tops on pulled low? The author leads one to believe they "nearly bared all"...but doesn't say if they nearly bared all their breasts or all of themselves...and I suspect s/he doesn't even know. No one said they were bare all the way down. Who's having the lewd thoughts here? Ahem...

[Lijahsbubbe]

Which of God's standards have these women forsaken?

If it's so cool, why didn't "Mother Joy" get in on the pic? Or do you think that would be crossing a line?

How about the old men doing a calendar? They could show only a part of their wienies. After all if they didn't show the whole thing, what's the big deal?

And then they could have a calendar with all of the Reverends, male and female, showing parts of their boobs and wienies, after all, if it's for a good cause, where's the harm?

[GummyIII]

LOL...these women didn't show their bodies except from above the nipple line down...I don't mind if a man does the same thing. Bet God doesn't either. You are taking it out of context...

[Lijahsbubbe]

Oh please, nobody is thinking lewd but you. I'M the one who said RIDICULOUS.

And if they wanted people to think they had tops on, they would have shown them.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I was perfectly in context.

[GummyIII]

Uh...from above the nipple line UP...oops...

[Poser]

What's the problem here?

It's a bunch of cute old grannies trying to do some good. I'm not offended in any way.

[GummyIII]

LOL...I see your self-righteousness and raise you a "pompous...."

[Gondring]

I'm right there with you, najida.... well, except for the "jars of Gerber." I see them as multi-purpose, not just jars of Gerber,* and agree with Robert A. Heinlein: "Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a womans breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy."

It's a great cause, and I applaud these beautiful women...except for their disrespect to the church community.

Somehow I don't see Mary doing this. And let's see...WWJD? Do a Chippendale's for prostate cancer awareness?

*At least I didn't say "jugs of Carnation," eh?

One picture worth thousand words.
But "stay the h-ll way from these nutburgers" will nicely encapsulate the message.

[GummyIII]

I agree they could have found a more appropriate place, except I suspect this and other church buildings have been used for many so-called "good/religious" events that God was not a part of more than this but no one would dare say that.
