What got to me here is a response that said no matter what the woman said, the tart was not to be believed. Yet anything said against her appears to be accepted as absolute truth and gospel. Here is a woman that in no way has harmed a single one of us, and yet so many are condeming her.
It's not that everything she says is automatically a lie because she is a stripper and everything said about her is automatically true because it is said by church people.
And I don't "condemn" her for harming one of "us", but I don't think it is hard to conclude she is harming her daughter, engaged in an immoral vocation, and playing up the situation for publicity and money while veneering it all with concern for her daughter's welfare.
It is the obvious hypocrisy on her part that makes her word not credible.
Of course there are hypocrites and pharisees in churches. There always will be. But there is no evidence these particular church people are such, and nothin at all unreasonable about them having a private school with a consensual morals clause for those they associate with, and nothing shocking or pharasaical about them choosing to enforce their consensual, mutual clause.
It is important to read this story, and any story, through the facts IN THE STORY, not through the template of the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold cliche. Said cliche is part of the unconscious myth of our secular culture -- it originated as a perversion of the biblical story of the Harlot Who Washed Jesus' Feet, (there is almost nothing in Western thought and culture that is NOT biblical).
The tale is regularly regurgitated from the collective psyche and passed around to comfort those who want to sin but feel warm in their hearts. The stripper is simply mining this tired old template, for fool's gold.
