Strippers Picket Church


Warsaw, Ohio is a small town - about 900 people, one stop light, one gas station...you get the idea. Well, there's a strip club, The Fox Hole and there's a fundamentalist Christian church, New Beginnings Ministries. The church as been taking photos of license plates on vehicles parked outside the strip club and harassing the club's patrons. They've been doing this for four years. The church people have also been picketing the club.

For the past three months, the strippers have been picketing the church. (This may help church attendance!) The girls have been carrying signs with bible verse which they say applies to them, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," you get the idea...

Club owner Tommy George offered an olive branch to Pastor Bill Dunfee. The preacher says that he's working for a "higher power" which does not want the strip club in Warsaw. The church and the club are nine miles apart.

The sad thing is that both the preacher and the club owner are actually taking all of this seriously!
