This Exists: Pole Dancing For Jesus

video
» 20 comments

In Houston, the Fox television station asks an important question: “how on Earth can you mix pole dancing with Jesus.” Indeed. And since this is local news, we get the treat of a full investigation of the Texas phenomenon of pole dancing for Jesus, which takes church-going girls, puts them in stripper heels (“the shoes are good for the glutes”) and puts them on the pole. You know, for fitness. And God.

“People have to bring their church program to get into the class, so we basically are just continuing the whole worship thing,” the instructor explains in a quote so perfect we couldn’t have done better with every snark-cylinder firing.

Of course, since this is a local news story, the reporter is required to try pole dancing for Jesus, and after a few spins she tells us “ow, it hurts a little.” Nobody said loving Jesus was easy.

Watch it here, from KRIV-TV:

    I’m sure this surprises only people who don’t live in Texas. Every Friday night in the Fall, every Baptist and Hardshell Methodist in Texas puts on make-up like a trollop and dresses like a Fort Worth call girl to march onto the football field and shake all about.

    Always say it not the method but the message . Not so sure on this one . Least shes honest . And the name Jesus sure don’t get much Attention from the GOOD people . Except for wanting money .
    Christians should be careful pointing fingers at this . When they tithe to Atheists movie stars at the box office .

    I occasionally went to strip clubs to worship the beauty of God’s creation. Nice work Jehovah!

    When I lived in N.O., the streets of the Quarter used to be filled with bible-thumpers from across the South, but especially from nearby Texas. Long before, “What happens in Vegas…”, every good ole’ boy and gal left their bibles at home to experience sin on a first hand basis.
    Pole dancing was the least of it. I saw more middle-aged Texan tatas than any stomach should be subjected to. Blue hair and bare skin was a common mix on Bourbon St. And they all went home to giggle about all the “turribul” things they’d SEEN! in wicked ole New Orleans.

    Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

    This makes perfect sense now, I saw this dude in a strip club in Ft. Lauderdale that looked just like Jesus and he was really getting off on the girls who were pole dancing. Well it makes sense to me anyway.

    Well, hoops is on tonight so The Mentalist is pre-empted…darn… But, I saw a follow-up on the “Pole Fitness for Jesus” – They’ve gone international! This lady has had about 200 offers for interviews. She is considering 2 of them, Times and the Discover channel, I think…

    And those of you who are still staring at the headlights for this story will LOVE the story before that, about the little cafe in Waco called “Fat Ho Burgers”… no kidding… Per the story, the African American lady who runs it has a college degree – and a line running out of the front door for take-out. The cafe around the corner isn’t too pleased, it’s a religious establishment and wishes the name would have been a little HO-lyer… Not my joke!!!

    Ephesians 5
    3But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. 5For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light.
