I’m terribly sorry, but hey, it was good for me! I’m not longer troubled by it. Thanks! 😃

Now I’ll just go on about my way and keep my music to myself…

Hmm, hmm, hmm.
STOP RIGHT THERE!
I GOTTA KNOW RIGHT NOW!
Do you love me forever, do you love me,
Will ya love me forever, do you need me,
Will ya never leave me…
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life,
Hmm, hmm, hmm.

Sorry, sorry, just moving along! 😛

Stratus Rose:
My friend is getting married in July and her bachelorette party is next month at a male strip club. I went a long time ago when I was 18 and 19, but I was a different person then. The dancers usually dance erotically to 70s songs while the women scream erratically while getting drunk. I fail to find that entertaining.

If I were a priest or deacon to bless a marriage of two Catholics after a stag or hen party with strippers, I would probably refuse. What is she going to vow? Let’s just change the formula to “From here on, you’re my stud. So help me God and all Saints. Amen.” I would dump my own bride even already in the church for a stripper party.
I am having serious reservations about going because I think the club is nasty and immoral. However, I don’t want to tell my friends that, and I don’t want to lie to them about my not being able to go. How can I tell them that I don’t want to go with out hurting feelings or making me look like a prude?

Wear the comments as a badge of honour. Pride yourself in them. Collect them. Write them on the walls of your house. Record them for future replaying. If they call you an arrogant snob or a hollier-than-thou stuck-up, make it your nickname.

If you cave in, they won’t respect you. You won’t help them in any way and surely won’t help yourself. If you keep consistent, they will at least respect you. In time, some will start listening to you or asking you to repeat some things you said before.

Of course, strip joints aren’t a removed problem. They are a part of a bigger picture. It starts from allowing children to go on kissing and hugging dates with multiple people for the enjoyment of it, it ends (at the very best) in stag or hen parties with strippers for the fun of it.
 
I would say don’t go. I’m only 15, but I think that going to a strip club before a wedding is wrong. I will now bore you all with a story.

When my dad was getting married, his friends were driving him around places for his bachelor party. The last place they went was a strip club. When my dad saw where they were going, he stopped them and asked them to take him home. When they wouldn’t, my dad walked back to his house, instead of going to the club. He says it was one of the best decisions he ever made.
 
You have a great dad and he’s done a good job bringing you up so you stand up for the right thing already at the age of 15 and in a humble way, without making it self-righteous. Errr… just don’t take this as too much of a flattery or I’m going to spoil your dad’s job. 😉 Anyway, I liked your answer a lot.:tiphat:

I’m not providing the entertainment by any means. I was just invited. These are friends I see maybe 3-4 times a year, so I am sure that they will do their thing no matter what I say.

StratusRose,

My post was directed at Wampa’s post, which I included in my post.

How did I KNOW this would work itself in as part of your answer. Is there a problem out there (global warming, the war in Iraq, the greehouse effect, AIDS crisis, deadlocked judicial nominees, higher gas prices, Michael Jackson’s trial, tsunamis, Brad & Jen’s divorce, etc…) that doesn’t trace its roots back to kissy-huggy dates with multiple people?!

Sure. Tsunamis.

Don’t sell yourself short so quickly–I’m sure you can find a connection–what with all the turbulance and quaking that goes on when so many people are locked at the lips!
 
I understand how you feel, but who cares what they
think. Stand strong for God do the right thing. That is the Holy Spirit prompting you with those “uncomfortable” thoughts about going there. Don’t lie to your friends, tell them the truth and if they really are your friends, they will
understand. Don’t compromise your morals! Pray to Mary
for strength and guidance and she will help you! You already know the right thing to do, now “Just do it”!!
I will pray for you! :gopray:
 
Thanks for all the advice. I graciously accepted what you all said and told the truth. I simply stated that I didn’t think God would want me in a place like and I that I wasn’t passing judgment on those who do go, but that kind of place just isn’t for me. The friend who invited me totally understood and admitted that she didn’t want to go either, but will still go. Who knows, she may change her mind within the next month or so. Pray that she will, as well as the others.

Good for you! And don’t you feel tons better, stronger and more empowered in the Holy Spirit? You may have impacted a few additional souls with your decision - but certainly yours.
 
That’s wonderful Stratus! God Bless you for having the courage to stand up for what is right. You found that you were not the only one struggling with the issue. There are probably lots of others who feel the same way. Now you have given them the strength to say no, too!

Isn’t God wonderful?

Stratus: Way to go!!!
 
Everybody is suggesting that you either stand up and say no, with an explanation why, and/or make suggestions as to other activities.

My suggestion, if you can’t take the heat of the comments you will get, is to simply find something else you have to do that night, and be too busy. No lie; just something else that came up. Maybe it was a good book, or a long hot bath, or whatever.

Evangelizing is fine for some people; others don’t know how to handle it. Bottom line - don’t go. You may choose to tell them why; or you may be just too busy.

…i can’t see why you would want to be someone you are not now… you said you were a different person now… tell her the truth, you are a different person now, and would not be happy at the exibition… if she is the friend that i assume she is, she will understand… if she doesn’t, then you might question your alliegence priority… to her, or yourself and God… No one said our faith choices would be easy… you tell me… you already know the right thing to do… now comes the test… what will you do?..

i wish you peace with your decision:thumbsup:
