Mary...
If the windows are blacked out and you cannot see in, plus a sign that says you must be 18 years old to enter, then several things come to my mind...
First...Did the sign give you some type of idea what can of material may be inside..?
Second...Apparently, you went inside or you either know someone who went inside and told you about the items, which then makes me question your motives or how you pick your friends?
Third... Was it the draw of the unknown "Of what is in the box Mac", or the inner craving of touching and being around the forbidden fruit that made your skin have goose bumps..
Fourth.. Were you forced to go into the place?
Fifth
Why would you care, if you do not intend to shop at that store? I don't shop at a lot of stores and really don't care what they sell to you...I mean after all aren't you an adult...?
Oh! how the "Pious" love to point!
PS:
Another place you may want to go to is the video store on 2nd street just east of Woodward in Muscle Shoals...They have a back room for those like that kind of material...If you like the adventure of the forbidden then that room will probably fill your every quiver......

Hi Mary,
First, to answer your question: NO, I do not believe it belongs in any city, especially in the Shoals.
However, your post renewed a memory. About ten years ago, when I first moved to the city of Riverside, California, on one street corner (outside of town) there was a shop similar to what you have described -- selling all sorts of drug paraphernalia. And, right next door was a store-front Hispanic Christian church. This struck me as funny -- and I wondered who would win -- the god of drugs, or the one and only God. Some months later, I drove past again and the drug shop was gone -- but, the church was still there.
Fast forward a year, I drove past again and now, where the drug shop had been was now a Psychic Store -- selling all sort of New Age things. And, right next door was still the Hispanic Christian church. Again, I prayed: "Lord, show them who is really in control."
Six months later, the Psychic Store went out of business -- but, the church was still there. As I drove past, I smiled and thanked God for His faithfulness.
Do you think Florence needs some prayer warriors focusing on this drug/sex paraphernalia shop?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
I guess every building that is not a church is a loss then? When will people like you ever learn that people don't want nor need you trying to run THEIR lives. Why can't you worship your gOD as you please and let others worship theirs?
And besides Bill...I know for certain that you are a liar. You told a lie about me quite a while ago...I haven't forgotten.
Hi Kassy,
First, there is only one God -- so, I am not sure who or what you are worshiping. But, your comment does bring back memories. I can recall, nearly fifty years ago, long before I was a Christian, driving across the country. This was before the Interstate Highways, when we drove such roads as Route 66 -- and had to drive through many small towns.
My reaction in those days was that all these small towns had too many churches -- one on every corner. At that time, I was bothered to see more churches than bars in these towns. Today, when I drive through small towns -- I complain that there are not enough churches. Amazing what time, and becoming a Christian believer, will do to one's world view.
About lying about you -- quite honestly, Kassy, I don't recall ever being in a dialogue with you. From your attitude about God, I doubt that you were ever on the Religion Forum -- and I seldom wander away from it. Maybe I made an indirect comment and you took it personally, I simply do not remember ever exchanging ideas with you. But, if you think that I have made any false statements about you -- I do sincerely apologize. It was not intentional.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

Actually, I do draw the line equally on both. Don't try to convert my family to either. Let us find our own god, and our own recreations. Your evangelism is a ****ed nuisance!

The point is that it is not appropriate for our downtown. Anyone that would argue that it is just wants to argue. I went into the store because I did not believe what I had heard and wanted to see it for myself. Unlike many of the people posting here I do not comment on things that I have no firsthand knowledge of. Go into the store and see if you would want to have your business located next to One Luv. Would you bring company or family to the restaurant next to it and not feel a bit embarrassed of your town? I don't care about what they sell. If it is legal then fine. That is not the issue. The issue is that the location is not appropriate and nice towns do not allow such stores in their downtown business district.

I am not sure why this is even an issue. Certain pornography is legal to sell to adults. If you don't want to be around it, don't go in the store. If the shop is keeping those under 18 outside the door, then only adults are going inside. They can buy it or look at it if they want. If you don't like that a business is selling something that is presumably legal, you should perhaps work to change the law.

Generally speaking, along with the sex shop/strip club comes a lifestyle of hard drinking, drugs and crime, prostitution.
