She didn't commit any sin, she did nothing untoward to the Church and she didn't perform in the church per se. It's none of the church's business, nor yours, to take action against her since she has broken no laws and is not harming you or the church.

Thou shalt not bear FALSE witness-- she lied on the school application. It's the schools' business to protect kids from sin, and sin harms anyone who touches it, even if it's a little white lie. Even Buddhists, etc. buy that one-- it's all about Karma. Did she break the LAW?-- yes, and as a consequence she's booted out until... but she doesn't care, because she has some other idea of WWJD. She believes that stripping for Jesus, (buying her kid a christian education), makes her a better mother for her child, than if she didn't, while she can't feel any sense of pride about her stripping job. That sounds a little conflicted-- and on-going conflict isn't healthy-- for mom or child.

Her possible decision to resume her stripping career in three weeks, if nothing pans out, is evidence of the pathology that exists-- otherwise, she never would agree to this arrangement. Why would she, otherwise, put her kid back into a school, where she and all her supporters feel THEY (the church) harmed her and her child, by not teaching correct principles (WWJD)? This woman has her head screwed on backwards-- it was never about the daughter, it was always about the mom.

WWJD

I'm starting to suffer from WWJD fatigue. Can anyone point out to me where exactly in the Bible Christians are instructed or cautioned to consider WWJD before acting? It's not in there. As humans, we are incapable of doing half the things Jesus did, so it's a moot point to begin with. WWJD is a marketing fad. That's it. The Bible is clear on how Christians ought to act.

"Suffer the little children to come unto me... and forbid them not... er, uh... unless of course that child's mom has told a lie or done something immoral... in which case, drive them away speedily..."

Nice additions to the referenced text, like these, would help make understanding the Savior so much easier for pharisees. What we need is a NEW bible that makes better sense to religious folks.

Jesus obviously could not have meant children as in "children of sinners" only holy children of holy parents, who were never guilty of sinning... You know, parents like yours?
