Nothing like pole-dancing for women
Pole Dancing Ministry?
Many times we think that things in the Christian Church cannot sink any lower, then along comes a story that proves us wrong. This is one of them.
The Ledger, a newspaper in Florida has a story about two Christian women who’ve opened up a health club that features Pole Dancing. Yes, this is the very same ‘pole dancing’ made famous in strip clubs. Said one of these Christian women:
“We wanted to take the stigma off it. We don’t do any exotic at all; we’re not into that. We’re two Christian women. It’s not about nudity; it’s about getting your body to the place you want to be and not being judged.”

CityWatcher.com, a provider of surveillance equipment, attracted little notice itself – until a year ago, when two of its employees had glass-encapsulated microchips with miniature antennas embedded in their forearms.
The “chipping” of two workers with RFIDs – radio frequency identification tags as long as two grains of rice, as thick as a toothpick – was merely a way of restricting access to vaults that held sensitive data and images for police departments, a layer of security beyond key cards and clearance codes, the company said.
“To protect high-end secure data, you use more sophisticated techniques,” Sean Darks, chief executive of the Cincinnati-based company, said. He compared chip implants to retina scans or fingerprinting. “There’s a reader outside the door; you walk up to the reader, put your arm under it, and it opens the door.”
Innocuous? Maybe.
But the news that Americans had, for the first time, been injected with electronic identifiers to perform their jobs fired up a debate over the proliferation of ever-more-precise tracking technologies and their ability to erode privacy in the digital age.
To some, the microchip was a wondrous invention – a high-tech helper that could increase security at nuclear plants and military bases, help authorities identify wandering Alzheimer’s patients, allow consumers to buy their groceries, literally, with the wave of a chipped hand.

Site recruits summer-camp predators

© 2007 Now, get ready for this mom and dad. Make sure you prepare Jane and Jimmy with mace and a sawed off shotgun when they leave for summer camp.
Several months ago, I received an email from retired Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, U.S. Army, one of the nation’s leading law enforcement trainers.
Lt. Col. Grossman stumbled on a massive cache of children and “teens” enslaved by the business of prostitution we now dub Internet pornography. He then started looking for the government justice agency that would clean out the vipers nests and help these youngsters.
“The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children line doesn’t seem to be set up for anything but reporting a single URL,” he said. “The matter is a little more complex than that.”

The Sexualization of Girls does it cause mental health issues?
The Sexualization of Girls and Mental Health Problems: Is There a Connection?
by Anita Gurian, Ph.D.
Think about
- a 5-year-old girl wearing a T-shirt that says “Flirt.”
- the advice given in magazines to preadolescent girls on how to look sexy and get a boyfriend
- print advertisements that portray little girls with pigtails and ruffles in adult sexual poses
- popular dolls in miniskirts and fishnet stockings advertised during Saturday morning cartoons
Is it any wonder that, starting at an early age, girls may believe that their value depends on their so-called sex appeal? What can be done to help girls develop a healthy self-image?Eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depression are the most common mental health problems in girls and women. The Report of the APA Task Force on The Sexualization of Girls, issued February l9, 2007, points out the connection between these problems and the sexualization of girls.
The APA Task Force was formed in response to reports by journalists, child advocacy organizations, parents and psychologists. The Report concludes that the sexualization of girls is a broad and increasing problem and is harmful to girls’self-image and healthy development. Sexualization is defined as occurring when a person’s value comes only from her/his sexual appeal or behavior, to the exclusion of other characteristics, and when a person is sexually objectified, e.g., made into a thing for another’s sexual use. The report states that examples of sexualization are found in all forms of media, and as ‘new media’ have been created and access to media has become omnipresent examples have increased.
The Task Force Report states that sexualization has negative effects in a variety of domains:
- Cognitive and emotional health: Sexualization and objectification undermine a person’s confidence in and comfort with her own body, leading to emotional and self-image problems, such as shame and anxiety.
- Mental and physical health: Research links sexualization with three of the most common mental health problems diagnosed in girls and women—eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depression or depressed mood.
- Sexual development: Research suggests that the sexualization of girls has negative consequences on girls’ ability to develop a healthy sexual self-image.
According to the APA Report, parents can play a major role in contributing to the sexualization of their daughters or they can play a protective and educative role. The Report calls on parents, school officials, and all health professionals to be alert for the potential impact of sexualization on girls and young women. Schools, the APA says, should teach media literacy skills to all students and should include information on the negative effects of the sexualization of girls in media literacy and sex education programs. As a society, we need to replace all of these sexualized images with ones showing girls in positive settings—ones that show the uniqueness and competence of girls. The goal should be to deliver messages to all adolescents—boys and girls—that lead to healthy sexual development,” states Eileen L. Zurbriggen, PhD, chair of the APA Task Force. Full report below……

CHRISITIANITY CONTINUES TO LOSE GROUND IN THE UNITED STATES”
67 Seven Year Old Man Put in Jail Two Days for Passing Out Gospel Tracts!
The Alliance Defense defended 67 year-old Fredric Baumann, who was arrested on the orders of police chief Mike Eason, Cummings, Georgia, for simply passing out gospel tracts on a public street. He was convicted and made to sit in jail for two days and denied his constitutional rights to contact a lawyer. The trumped-up charge of not obtaining a permit for organizations conducting such activity was illegal as the city ordinance applied to “three of more persons.” The Georgia Superior Court overturned the conviction. In addition, “while incarcerated, Mr. Baumann requested use of his reading glasses so that he could read his Bible …; this request was denied. He also was denied an opportunity for exercise “to offset a medical condition that causes chest congestion when he remains sedentary.” article continues below…..
