Topic: Have you accepted Jesus Christ into your life?
Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago #49,638
Femanon here. Have you accepted Jesus Christ into your life? This is my confession in hopes it might help other femanons.. I used to timestamp and cam, but what they didn't know is I also used to strip, do cam shows, and other things I wasn't proud of.About 2 months ago, I was approached outside the strip club by a man telling me about Jesus Christ. I laughed at him, I berated him, and shunned him. He had been trying to talk to all the girls there, but I guess I made an impression because the next evening he was there with his wife, and they both talked to me about Him. I nodded and smiled but didn't really think I could find that kind of happiness and forgiveness. Then they came back the next night. And the next.
Since then I've been attending their church, participating in charity work, and I stopped stripping, opting for a lower wage job as a barista instead. Accepting Jesus into my heart made me a better person, or as my pastor says, helped me rediscover who I really am in the eyes of our Lord. And when I couldn't afford to stay in my apartment due to money issues, Jesus embraced me, as the church helped me find a new apartment and even paid off my old lease. And giving back feels so good too. Helping the poor souls out there on my weekends instead of partying, it really is the path Jesus wants us to walk. I feel like a new person, a virgin reborn, and I'm proud of myself.
I would just like everyone to remember, Jesus loves you all, and Jesus will accept you.

The OP post feels a bit creepy, though. Even if it's just pasta. The idea of these religious people tracking down vulnerable people and trying to put their religion into people's minds using compassion... Eugh. It's creepy.!MLHqI35Srs joined in and replied with this 10 years ago, 38 minutes later, 17 hours after the original post[^] [v] #645,466

> using compassion
Eherm, many people are swayed by religion not necessarily because they have absolute conviction of God's written role in the universe, but a desire for spiritual attainment is usually associated with higher levels of compassion naturally. Statistical-moral informant fallacy. Get fucked.

not really
What's creepy about a woman finding a supportive community who finance her and give her emotional support and affirmation that she wouldn't get as a stripper without organized religion. I mean she could have stayed a stripper but OP obviously needed support and took it otherwise she could have told the creep to get lost. If it works for some people, why knock it? Not everybody is too helpless to make their own decisions - it's not like anybody was brainwashed
You don't need church or religion because you have all of your support groups in place but not everybody is so fortunate
making up fake stories about how u converted a stripper with your family tho is creepy and wrong
So is proselytizing at a strip club
And so is guilting sex workers
but the woman in op doesn't sound like somebody taken advantage of when vulnerable and turned into Christ zombie

They pretty much only helped her because they wanted to spread their religion, though. They didn't go out thinking "let's help this woman", they went out thinking "let's help this woman find religion". That's not altruism, that's a very big and very questionable ulterior motive.
To make matters worse, it's aimed at somebody who might've been willing to accept any sort of compassion because of where she was in life, and they took advantage of that loneliness to get another convert.
You may make a valid point about religion, in this equation, possibly adding additional avenues of support that may not have been there otherwise. However, I do not see this as worth it when religious charity comes with its own drawbacks that secular charity doesn't have. And the absence of religious charity could well be addressed with encouraging more altruism/charity in general anyway.
Also, the first line of the pasta does suggest that she's at least partially become a "christ zombie", in that she's actively going out of her way to spread the religion to strangers on the internet.

their motive doesn't really matter very much if the outcome suits her
And you don't really know their motives im sure there was some genuine desire to help this specific woman outside of inducting her into the church
There isn't really a concrete incentive for converting other people which is why I think it's so strange that so many Christians are so into it. like I know it's a Christian thing to do but beyond that idk why they get so aggressive about it.
But her being 'just another convert' would only really be a bad thing if they converted her and dropped her. They converted her and paid off her lease and helped her get a new apartment. You don't do that for people who are 'just converts' who you don't genuinely care for to some extent

Yeah I see nothing wrong with this. Some atheists could have helped her if they had wanted to.

Very true. If I was drowning and was saved in an attempt to convert me, I would just be glad to be alive

Of course the motive matters. It obviously affected who they chose to help, as she notes that they decided to focus on her specifically over anyone else. This also ties into your last point: they essentially "dropped" all of the other girls because he thought that this one would be receptive to, or "needed" his religious brand of help. Motivation also changed that outcome itself, given the help came with nudges to embrace Christianity rather than just help for its own sake.
I do agree that there was likely some genuine good intent in the couple. The real desire to help this woman out. But you have to remember, in their minds, the highest form of helping somebody is to have them "find god", which in their minds is proving a ticket to heaven and an omnipotent buddy. That's the "concrete incentive that you mentioned.
It seems compassionate to them, but from a more secular perspective, it's a crucial ulterior motivation.

I am using charity in the sense of helping somebody out for nothing, in that instance. I apologise for the confusion.

Well maybe if they weren't painted as uncivilized heathens by the church... Or if even vaguely religious people stopped cutting off relationships with people just because they identify as atheist... Or if huge websites didn't decide to censor 1 specific group...

yeah those are all things that are wrong with the Christian church but that doesn't mean organized religion doesn't help a lot of people
like anything else there is good and bad but yeah there's a lot of bad that's why I'm not a Christian
@645,537 (RWBY Rhubarb? !!iNo3FkiZx)
it is not implied that the man/his family dropped anyone. not badgering someone isn't a problem or wrong. and to say that the church allocated resources to an individual over other possible recipients is kind of a stretch and helping 1 person over another isn't wrong either
and access to heaven isn't something I'd consider concrete
