Bible Note: Rowdy Let me say for a young woman to make this transformation is very difficult. A dancer makes between 400 to 600 dollars a night with a some going as high as 800. They have lived on that much money for awhile and to take any job means they have to give up a lot. Many are supporting their parents or children and some are also attending College so getting out of dancing really impacts them. My wife was personally helping with another dancer that had 2 children that wanted out of the business. What we found was after she got a job and got some public assistance money and such she was stilling making less a month than she could make dancing one or two nights a month. That impacted where she lived, where her children attended school, their health care and etc. Plus she was in a totally different life style than she had known, she had to clean up her dress, her language, her demeanor. So when you see a young lady making this change don’t think it is easy and something casually done. They have to be really sold out for Jesus to come out of that life style. and I didn't even mention all the other things that goes with dancing, drugs, prostitution, meeting important people, jet setting, movie contracts and etc. Quite frankly there is not a lot of so called Christians that would never have come to Christ had it required as much change in their lives. My heart and prayers go out to these young women. EdB |
