Be careful to not let your ideas interfere with others. telling people what they should or should not do is not very christian at all. Understanding them is.
When these painted models are in very public places, aren't they interfering with those parents who would rather not let their children see? An adult can turn away but should they be forced to cover their children's eyes? Understanding needs to go both ways.

I would let my children see painted models, just as I would let them see topless natives on a National Geographic program. Art/Education/etc. I certainly wouldn't mind having to open a door to see them and other parents would appreciate the door giving them the choice.

I doubt you've stirred up as much of a hornet's nest as you may want to think you have.

People in the edgier art forms are used to busybodies who are a little too concerned with what everyone else is doing, and like to tell people they're wrong in what they do. Bonus points if said busybodies use Bible quotes.

Like, were you serious when you called these women evil? I really hope you weren't. Because that's bigotry. And I won't support a board that supports bigotry in the name of Christianity.

If that's what's happening here, I hope the mod hammer drops hard here.

Needed to be said.

Sheesh! Back off! The only thing I said was that I wondered what other people THOUGHT of the nude body painting, and how immodest I felt it was. Don't put word into my mouth about something you know nothing about. THAT"S judging. I don't quote Bible verses to people who walk in the flesh, (no pun intended).

Hmm. Well Hopper, I must say I didn't really pick up on Jitterbug's use of the word evil when this post first showed up. I assumed she was just using hyperbole. I agree that it's too strong a word to use lightly, especially for clowns. Real evil is much more serious business.

I think people here expressed their opinions politely, whether they agreed or didn't entirely agree with Jitterbug, and did so without using inflammatory words like "evil" or "busybody".

So, both of you go to your rooms! :P

Jitterbug gives the Princess a big hug, and a thankyou kiss on the cheek. Wipes her tears, and goes to her room...ahh. Maybe I'll sleep on a BIG whoopie cushion tonight.

Hmmm, I can't help but notice my initial question, which would be
Quote:

didn't actually get answered yes or no.

But OK. I'll go to my room now.

Since you don't know my personality yet, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I called them evil because these women were being REALLY MEAN to Jitterbug. They called me names and were making me cry. Therefore, I said they were evil. Understand? Maybe I just should have said they were being big meanies! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Hang around, you'll get me eventually.
