Deliver us from lap dances

Christian ministry beckons lasciviously to sex-industry workers and their customers.

Via BoingBoing: "JC's GIRLSGIRLSGIRLS is a Biblically based Christian ministry that seeks to share God's message of hope and forgiveness by reaching out in a non-judgmental way to those who are in the sex industry. We pattern our ministry after the very ministry of Jesus by actually going to the people who need him. Our desire is for people to see that Christianity is anything but boring and restrictive. In Christ, we are free to experience adventure, pleasure, forgiveness, hope, and peace."

Make sure to take a look at the Web site. Founded by three former strippers with hearts of gold (and healthy senses of humor), its designed for people who work in the sex industry and the people who love them. And let's just say they know their audience, right on down to the click-hither "Tanya, Lori, and Heather are waiting to hear from you. In other words, it's pretty much the hottest anti-porn site ever. And for that reason, probably pretty effective.
