is going to a strip club a disfellowshipping offense? (page 4)

Nope, I knew an elder that went several times. He was deleted as an elder, but only for a relatively short time.

Fast forward a couple of years: the hypocrite was on the JC that DF'd me.

Fucking cult!

My guess, is that, if he only went once, confesses,and proves "repentant",he may not be disfellowshipped. But,if it's a regular thing,then,I would say at the very least he would be "marked",but probably disfellowshipped.

I knew of an elder,whose car was seen outside a porn shop. He just told them,that is where he purchased birth control.

Thanks hardtobeme. Just pm me and lets get together, as well as any other gay man who was forced to live in the closet due to the closed minded people in our "spiritual paradise". Can't believe I dedicated so many good years to some men in brooklyn......

Simon

Probably if you're working there ...

You would just have to explain that you were attending the local center for the Performing Arts.

Fink, have you been to strip clubs? Magnets for sleazy unwholesome people? A cross section of people go to strip clubs, from businessmen to men whose wives are out of town to men who are out of town on business to blue collar guys. And the girls? The pareto principle applies. Twenty percent are typically ok and the other 80 typically never need to be naked in public. Ever. A few are smoking hot. Some clubs are upscale and the girls are prettier. Some of the girls really are working their way through school, some are supporting their baby daddy who is pushing pills or making meth, some are supporting their own habit, some have other jobs but supplement income and some are simply down and out and need quick cash. Again, a larger cross section than you might imagine.

Most strip clubs are a lot more boring than people might imagine. But given all of this, as long as a girl is working hard for her money I do not judge her. Nor do I judge men who want to see attractive young women naked. Anyway, that's what my best friend tells me about strip clubs. LOL! As for the Dubs, who cares what they beliieve, but it should be obvious that they would consider it 'loose conduct,' which means they could do whatever they please to you. When I was an elder, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, 'unrepentent loose conduct' (I just hate that type of crap now) could be a DFing offense.

I've been to strip clubs, and I think Fink's description is spot-on. Here, most of the strippers are run out of Montreal. They send them down to Eastern Canada in rotations - yes, for the most part it's a filthy business run by the Hell's Angels. The women are usually young, addicts and prostitutes who left home at a very young age.

It's just as sleazy as what you may see on Law & Order. Yes, *some* strippers in some clubs somewhere may be college girls working their way through college, but that is far from the 'norm'.

Let's not kid ourselves about the reality of the sex trade.

And yup, "loose conduct", iow, like I said - it all depends on who you know, and how strict the local BOE wants to be.

edit: ha, can you tell I worked with 'Youth at Risk' for a few years? Yeah, I don't have much use for 'strip clubs'.

Tal,

I certainly can't speak of your experience and won't try. I'm sure you are accurate. But my description is spot on for all of the strip clubs I've been to, in a number of cities. Some of the girls in this area stay at the same place for years. One was an ex Dub who did it for the money, raising her kid because baby daddy was gone. Some of the hotter strippers marry rich guys and live in big homes. At leat that's what i'm told. ;=). And the somewhere for the girls working their way through college is here where I live; I have personal knowledge of it. And there are more than a few, as your special characters indicate. It is not a rare phenomemon. From last month: And this is a lot more typical than you can imagine. Twenty four women at one strip club working their way through college. Could they all be lying? Of course, but the source is very credible. There are many other news articles about this. It is not rare, nor is it just 'somewhere.'

The G-String Scholarship: College Students Strip to Pay Tuition Costs

Maggie is one of 24 women at Scores who are putting themselves through school and stripping to make as much money as possible before they get their diplomas. A fellow dancer, who asked to be called "Jade," is also a college student in New York, studying for five finals, who strips to pay for school.

“When I grow up, I’m hoping to become a forensic psychologist for the judicial system,” she said.
