Entertained by bondage?
Is "bondage" something that should be de-stigmatized? Gentlemen's Club 10 has advertized several "bondage nights" at their club. I would contend that bondage is a very harmful thing and should not be encouraged. People really need to ask themselves if "sexual bondage" is the kind of behavior we want to encourage NEPA residents to engage in.
This evening, WBRE-28 covered a breaking news story out of Central Florida. According to the story, "Investigators said Christopher Wood took a woman against her will and raped her to make a sexually explicit bondage video, WESH 2 News reported."

Mr. Family,
So now you want to stop couples from engaging in bondage? It's none of your business. Get a life please.

Sexual bondage is actually a deep-seated sickness that the participants fail to realize as such and consequently are unable to admit it. Their only alternative is believing it is a great enhancement for sexual stimulation that can be nicely obtained at any place that encourages it. Thus, it is obviously not a facet of true sexual love between two strangers in a public atmosphere where there is the transaction of money or even with two partners privately in a so-called loving relationship. It is clearly the demeaning actions for expressing the underlying need of subjecting another person to domination and control. The partner sickly enjoys groveling that cannot possibly be enhancing to his self-worth in a long run. It is stored in the sub-conscious mind until it is released in destructive ways.
As Scalzo continues to promote bondage nights for the sake of money only, at the same time he is allowing each participant to de-value themselves, and that could only produce more prevalent anti-social behavior that is lost up in harmful fantasies. When those harmful fantasies start to take hold, the outcome is what happened in the article.

Just because you know nothing about it, you fear it, condem it, and want it gone.
MIllions of people are into Bondage, nothing new. You are simply behind the times and outdated.
But then, you are out of the loop on many things.

I want to know how this bondage filth and paying women in general for sex acts and ejacs differs from the street prosties. going by all that is rational the two situations basically comes right down to paying for sex. yet irrationally the law makes it ok in strip joints. doesn't that mean the legal eagles are getting a kick back in taxes making them legal pimps? sal gets a cut from selling his girls. does that make him a respectable pimp just bec he owns a glamorized business? the govt doesn't get a cut from the street pimps bec they keep all of it. the prosties give the govt money when they are caught and fined. seems to me it differs only bec the law wants organized prostitution calling it legal to make more money off women that way.

Illicit/compulsive sexual behavior is a form of mental illness. It affects rational thought.
Mr. Family, I'm sure you realize that this is likely a common problem for some of your "haters." I'm not convinced that you will succeed at converting them, but your attempt is valiant.

Remember when the club used to use the argument, "what's wrong with grown men looking at pretty young women?" as if that's all that goes on in a strip club.
Now club patrons engage in bondage acts with "pretty young women."
Weird stuff.

I remember when talking to invisible people and magic was....oh wait, you still do that every sunday don't you.
When you don't get your way, pray for magic from an invisible man in the clouds to take care of it for you. Yeah, and people in clubs are sick in the head.

They did forget to say that Wood had several copies of the bible in his home, and a cross above the doorway in his living room. Guess God made him do it.

DITTO 12:25 p and 1:22p. and isn't it odd that their bondage arguments bring to mind the similar arguments by druggies and alcoholics who deny their sicknesses and won't look for help until it's almost too late. lots of shading the truth, excuses, and any combination of personal, family, legal, and social damage has to occur first......and even then some go back to it.
yep, mr. familys attempt is valiant, but like with druggies and alchies, only they can come to terms that bondage is a form of mental illness. so they can't say that this website isn't trying to give them a headsup in that direction.
now watch and see how they continue to make justifications and make petty slurs.

4:31 am, Just because you know nothing about it, fear it, condemn it, and want it gone...have to tell you that...Millions of people are into religious faiths and know right from wrong...but then you are out of the loop on that with your faith in bondage.
Scrolling down to 12:16 pm, There was a time when the mentally ill were given the stigma of being possessed. I don't forsee gay people ever being 100% accepted because of nasty bigoty. Thankfully, though, psychology, medicine, and society has advanced in those areas. Bondage, however, will never be bring any advantage to a decent society because it IS a mental illness that is too obscure and psych treatment depends on the person's voluntary admission.

2:15 you said it. you proved your sexual illness all by yourself. only held your spouse ONCE in a loving embrace when making love.

Anon. 1:41 PM, Very good. You gave me another opening. First, let us approach your comments on a somewhat neutral ground. Congregants in Churches on Sundays are not there to degrade one another, but out of Christian love, pray as a group, or let us say instead, voice a positive attitude for the betterment of themselves, other people, and the world at large. They are aware that corruption is unhealthy for well-being. Their prayer or built up of positive attitude is carried out outside of the Church structure itself, thus carrying out the spirit of love in our lives as best we can.
Now going on to a spiritual level, or as you say "an invisible man in the clouds," God is not a man. God is the spirit of Love. The spirit of love should be within all of us here on earth. It is not a romantic love. It is a love that sees our fellow human beings being worthy of all that is good and respectful. It is having a love that is being out of ourselves in order to extend compassion towards one another, give a helping hand, being a good listener, and giving consolation in times of troubles. Generalized, it is giving of self, thinking of others, and attending to their needs. With this in mind, we see God in others and not being on a cloud.
When there is a group of people who feel this way or need to feel this way, they are given that chance by Sunday services to learn how. It is not magic. It is the earnest self who applies sincere effort and gets encouragement to fulfill any emptiness within that cannot be found elsewhere and to make corrections to erroneous ways that they know are harmful to themselves and that which also gives a harmful ripple effect into society in which other human beings are demeaned.
Now if any of that can be said of strip clubs, please say so.

Further, it is not about getting our way. Quite the contrary. It is about learnig how to free ourselves from constant personal wants and being weighted down with expectaions that never happen. It is about learning how to better cope with the trials we must endure. By letting go, all of this offers a spirit of comfort and peace, if only we are open to it instead of being demanding.
We learn that material objects never really last long and that nothing in this world can guarantee complete lasting happiness. Recall how many times your happiness was fleeting with any thing or any one. There is normally more loss, disappointments and emptiness. What does last is the positive and good that we do in speech and actions, which is constantly generated even though we do not know or think of it that way. The opposite is also true of the negativity and bad that we do. Therefore, we are not looking at it totally from a physical perspective, but that of which is the unseen or spiritual essence. Magic is an illusion. There is nothing illusionary about how we present and extend ourselves that affects others.

to 331pm no I am not out of the loop- my church deciples of christ has nothing to say about the sexual practices of married couples- further the american psychiatric assc. does not classify bondage as
a mental illness. studies done by them and others say about 75% find it erotic.
read about it on wikopedia.

I don't think the event coordinators truly realize that they are encouraging illicit activity. They probably think the whole thing is playful and harmless.
I have spent most of my life in Wilkes Barre. I still can't believe we have a byob strip club across from the mall. It's a very different day from when I was young.

If indeed "about 75% find it erotic", that doesn't mean 75% actively participate, let alone PAY to act out. The only FACT I think we can agree on is that Sal Scalzo finds it PROFITABLE to exploit any sexual fetish he can get away with and that there are enough fools who will be parted from their money at gclub10. Also, the deviant minority will always attempt to justify their habits by erroneously trying to convince the rest of society that they are the norm.

Sorry, 12:08, you're wrong, wrong.
Your church, (spelled accurately for you), the Disciples of Christ, goes by the Bible. The Bible has plenty to say about the sexual practices of married couples. You choose not to believe it because it doesn't agree with your own beliefs. Spend more time investigating that than about erotic practices. You'll discover that the Bible is never behind the times. It is always overwhelmingly prepared to address your current falacies. Where ever you find that Christ approved of bondage for married couples or singles, point it out to me.
Next: Tying up someone up with the proven potential of causing him or her to faint, or cause death; getting sexual enjoyment out of humiliating with chaining, whips; instructions to keep the key handy for locks, scissors to cut the tape...oh, why go on, it's sickening. If you don't think that behavior is being mentally imbalanced, then you have a problem, and that problem is a mental dysfunction classified by psychology under several categories.
Check out the guy in the article too.

Yes, 2:11pm, Wilkes-Barre has definitely "progressed" since we were young. Now we're into enviable competition with the big cities, you know, with a wider access to drugs, orchestrated murders galore, a variety of sex clubs that cater to various tastes. Best of all, we can boast about having a "classy" strip club that offers the best quality bondage money can buy.
Very seriously, though, the event coordinators know exactly what they're doing. Nothing stops them in their quest for money, just like nothing stops the druggies, the murderers, and the sex-crazed.

to 12:08 just curious. why are studies considered verifiably applicable when they are pro club but never when they are anti club, esp. when mr. family posts them?
for example,if mr. family were to post a study from the a.p.a. saying bondage is a mental illness, he could expect to be attacked by tons of pro club comments. mr. family pasted a verbatum email from a hurting lady and all of sudden, it wasn't considered for real. explain please.

seph, I thank you for allowing me to have yet another opening. The "man" crucified was and is Jesus Christ, human and Divine then, and very much alive now in a glorified Body. His Sufferings and Crucifixion (and resurrection) were the complete fulfillment of God's Divine Plan to atone for the sins of all mankind to the end of earthly time. One of His last words on the Cross were: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." With that, seph, he had you in mind when you said your slurs against Christianity, and He still loves you immensely. He was scouraged at the pillar for mankind's sins of the flesh. He had all of us in mind for all the evils we think, do, and say, as He hung there in the most humiliating, most indescribably painful form of execution that has ever existed to this very day. There is no one who has done or ever will take that upon himself for us, and no greater love.
seph, you know not what He suffered or anything about Him, otherwise you would not think and feel the way you do. We are free to live our lives now as we choose. Choosing God's ways, we will live a spiritual life forever free of all that pains and harms us now, and free of the trials we endure.
What ever you want to think, seph, you never live to see Christianity fall. It will last infinitely. God is the Alpha and the Omega, a higher Power Who has total control over the entire universe.
I suggest you open your heart now to experience the beauty, comfort, peace, and joy so that you will have the slightest idea of indescribale Love that awaits you in the Heavenly realm.

BRAVO 3:55 PM! They're ALWAYS glossing over the cold, hard facts, ALWAYS in denial, and ALWAYS trying to justify with stupidity. They have no problem convincing me that they're fools.

The pro-club crowd has gone out of their way to prove themselves again being disturbed sexual deviants in denial. According to them, a survey with actual strippers telling the truth about their misery and dreadful facts about strip club environments isn't true. An e-mail from a stripper woman in distress doesn't mean a darn thing. They're not appalled about the abused woman in the bondage report, but yet anyone who doesn't engage in sexual bondage fetishes has got to be abnormal. Everything is going normally right to them, and everybody else is wrong because they foolishly believe the truths.

to 919 pm what do you tell the jws, muslims, and hindus who make up the majority of people in the world. you are really talking your brand of religion and forcing it upon everyone else, ie christians are always right.
By

Anon. 6:36 AM, I do not tell the Jews, Muslims, and Hindus anything. I am not in a position to tell them anything, neither is it my place. However, it is very much my Christian obligation to have had my comments in blog 9:19 PM defend and clarify Chrisitianity when it is being unfairly criticized due to the absence of knowledge about it. It is also my Christian obligation to offer a welcoming spirit to everyone without force. Christianity exists and is available for everyone without exclusion. The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Blessed Trinity, is the One Who enlightens the soul for a change of heart, which by free will, is either accepted or rejected.
I find it odd when someone critcizes Christianity, it is expected that Christians should let it pass as you think it so. I also find it odd that Christians have been accused on this forum of being un-Christlike, yet when a Christian attitude is shown, it is again criticized as by yourself.
May I ask you, if someone were to unfairly criticize one of your loved ones, would you let it pass without saying a word? Perhaps would you feel you are forcing your belief about your loved one upon the criticizer and not feel right about it?
Christ loves me, you, and everyone. He is my loved One, and I will defend Him at every opportunity that I am given.
Clearly, you have expressed a resentment soley towards Chrisitians. May I also ask you your thoughts on what the Jews, Hindus, and Muslims tell every other religious sects, if anything at all towards their beliefs which they think is right?
My thoughts are that they are free to practice their own beliefs.
P.S. Do not forget that I am not any of the bloggers who brought the topic of Christianity to attention on this forum.
