Topless Turnabout Is Fair Play
I am delighted and tickled by the news out of Warsaw, Ohio, where for NINE LONG YEARS a strip club called the Foxhole North has been the subject of an ugly series of protests and harassments by a local church congregation. Fed up, the club’s owner and employees have finally decided to turn the tables, and have started picketing the church responsible during its Sunday morning services. And of course some of the dancers are picketing the church while topless:
According to the local newspaper:
A topless demonstration Sunday in Warsaw was conducted with little incident, though heated words were exchanged between parties and the incident could escalate next week.
At one point, six bare-breasted women walked in the right of way from the corner of Church and Railroad streets to the edge of New Beginnings Ministries’ parking lot. Per Ohio Revised Code, it is legal for men and women to be topless in public.
About 30 dancers, other staff, family and friends from the Foxhole North either marched with protest signs or sat in chairs across from the church. Church members have been protesting the private gentlemen’s club for nearly nine years. Two women were topless for about half of the four-hour protest.
After worship services ended, nine women exited the church and an argument ensued between them and the protestors. A couple of the church members also walked up and down the street with their own signs, declaring outrage at what they deemed was public indecency.
Pastor Bill Dunfee would not elaborate but said he is planning to directly confront the situation next Sunday starting with 9:30 a.m. Sunday school. Thomas George, who owns the Foxhole clubs in Warsaw and Zanesville, said his supporters plan to be at the church, with some of the women going topless, for the foreseeable future.

“We want to let (church members) know how it feels to be under scrutiny,” George said. “They come up every weekend. They’re very abusive and certainly not Christian-like, not what I read in my Bible. I have to point out the hypocrisy I see and not stand by and let this go on week in and week out.”

First off, many of your readers may wondering what the church’s beef is, and may be asking themselves, “What about that passage in the bible, where Jesus says ‘Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone’?”. This is a verse that warns against judging others.
A wise old man that I once knew (who ran an adult book store), once told me that what kept him in business were the town’s married men, who were starved for what they were unable to get at home, and came into his establishment to feed their unrealized fantasies.
In other words, men whose wives dressed modestly at home, and never acted seductively, were (figuratively speaking), driving their spouses to seek the next best thing (“girly mags”), from a commercial source.
My guess is that the men of the town are patronizing the gentleman’s club on Friday and Saturday night, during which time they are giving the dancers all of their dollar bills, and then when they go to church with their wives on Sunday morning, they have nothing left in their pockets to put in the collection plate.
My suggestion is that the church women go to the strip club on Friday, learn a few moves from watching the strippers, then dance for their own husbands at home on Saturday night, so that they’ll still have money come Sunday morning, that they can satisfy the pastor with…
