One of them was for Wycliffe Bible Translators. I got the opportnity to go through their photo files looking for images we could use in the show. I found some great shots of various people groups. Some of them were the shots of the topless women. I found quite a few too of native women wearing bras as tops and I thought it was weird at the time... you have now shed light on a great mystery.Raw Faith Real Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741053549418881401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840304789503373528.post-36271015812304346192008-11-19T18:22:00.000-08:002008-11-19T18:22:00.000-08:00My mom just heard a missionary talking about how h...My mom just heard a missionary talking about how he witnesses to those "mohawked tattoed types."<BR/><BR/>She was rolling with laughter because I got my tattos and mohawk <B>after</B> I came to the Lord.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, the "change of heart, change of wardrobe" is a cross-cultural inaccuracy.<BR/><BR/>Word.Rick the Polonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535076417940971727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840304789503373528.post-1319101634998003622008-11-19T16:17:00.000-08:002008-11-19T16:17:00.000-08:00I'm covered three times over, cuz it was a little ...I'm covered three times over, cuz it was a little chilly outside.<BR/><BR/>Awesome and fantastic story.

Amazing. <BR/><BR/>Why must we have a double standard about salvation? We acknowledge that there is no deed we can do to earn salvation and then turn around and expect other sinful people to clean up before coming to Christ. Why must we think that Jesus is actually an American and thus all other cultures must be heretical?<BR/><BR/>I better stop now, before I get myself in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840304789503373528.post-92072316538087380352008-11-19T14:32:00.000-08:002008-11-19T14:32:00.000-08:00that cracks me up.and i'm wearing three shirts tod...that cracks me up.<BR/><BR/>and i'm wearing three shirts today, specially for professor laffy taffy. a camisole, a blouse, and a sweater. and a bra.

Likely not, but I can hope right?<BR/><BR/>I'm dealing with a group right now who reaches out to underpriviledged, undereducated women who've had involvement with the Family Courts system and/or Child Protective Services. We teach them job skills, but more importantly we show them the Living God of the Bible. It's a great ministry. Until...some of the church ladies get the idea that you have to be not poor, have common sense, innately know how to parent properly, not smoke, not live with your boyfriend, not practice witchcraft before you come before God for salvation.<BR/><BR/>(Great Big Sigh) Because God came to save those of us who are sinless and have our lives completely together...<BR/><BR/>Given that, I would wear a shirt that says "You suck!

In her church, they did a lot of outreach, and whenever a woman would come to the Lord, the ladies of the church would give her a skirt... "so she could serve". Because you can't serve Jesus if you're wearing trousers. Hmmm? Men were given a tie.<BR/>(and now, because all the cool kids are doing it...)<BR/>word verification: husemiz.<BR/>n.
