Actually, I think I can make sense of the photos
[QUOTE=Mister Quick]A friend emailed these to me. Though they should be shared with guys on here but no place on the forum seems a good place for them. If you guys dont like I can delete them tomorrow.
Enjoy[/QUOTE]
Years ago, there was a Christian cult called "Children of God," they had since renamed their cult "The Family," as they are known today.
In the 70's, perhaps dating to the 60's, the Christian cult as known as listed in the paragraph above had some of their women members walk the streets offering sex for money, in order to bring more money into their churches (which didn't actually occupy buildings with steeples, but were usually communes located in homes.) They called this practice "Flirty Fishing." The cult also had their prostitutes fill out forms of time walking the streets, john's names and how much they collected, and perhaps types of sexual acts as well.
Pregnancy and diseases were common as the cult allowed no condom use, and allowed no use of birth controls. As a result, the population within "The Family" dramatically increased, and many of the husbands/boyfriends in the cult gotten diseases too. They also had open sexual relationships in the communes, and were quite sick-minded as they were also into incests as well; therefore one of their slogan "C'mon Ma, burn your bra. They done large numbers of illegal sex acts beyond "Flirty Fishing" that gotten attention of the LE authorities and they since "sanitized" much of their religious practices, religious books, and their sexual lifestyle. The wife of the founder of the cult resides outside of the US to be out of reach of the legal system. (The founder has since passed on, but I'm not sure whether if it's to a better place if you know what I mean!) Today the widow of the founder is in a loving relationship with another longtime member but not married. Strange for a religion.
Their practice of "Flirty Fishing" in open ways on the streets largely came to an end when one of their members, an Asian woman cult member; died of AIDS I believe in 1986. Afterwards their practice of "Flirty Fishing" became much less common and much more discreet. The cult's prostitute afterwards pretty much stuck with existing clients that were good cash cows for the cult. For a religion that's supposed to be loving they since adopted a policy that any members found positive for AIDS are to be excommunicated from the church. Instead for a loving church they at least could take care of their members sick with AIDS, just don't have such members sexually active unless it's with another HIV positive cult member.
I'm not suggesting that some of us on here should go join that cult since they "sanitized" their religion perhaps to the point that much of their old sexual lifestyle no longer exists, though they are perhaps still sexually open within each of their individual communes. Besides, they have histories of engaging in sex with people below the age of consent and none of us with right minds would want to be into any part of that. Hopefully the cult no longer engages in sex with those under the age of consent. Nowadays the cult's SWs are nowhere to be found as opposed to what was the case before 1986, so don't waste your time looking for them. Even then there were legal risks involved since the cult's prostitute filled out forms listing johns' names and authorities may had gotten ahold of few of those forms. Thank heavens the mainstream non-religious SWs don't fill out forms with mongerer's names and so on.
Today, their website masquerades their cult like mainstream churches like Baptists, Methodists and so on. Much of their histories can be read about on the internet. Just type in "Children of God" in a search engine. For interest knowing, a famous Hollywood actress Rose Mcgowan was born in the cult. Her parents were members of the cult.
So Mister Quick, there's no need to delete your post nor the pictures; they perhaps actually were SWing in the name of religion which may or may not be "Children of God or The Family." They could also be photos from many years ago when the "Children of God" prostitutes were "Flirty Fishing" themselves out for cash to give to the church; and yes, unlike many Christian cults (Jehovah's Witnesses notably), this strange cult also seem to believe in Jesus as God and Savior as do Baptist Churches.
A note to LE (some who are religious) reading this: While I don't support your enforcement of laws regarding prostitution, I do agree (as many of us on here likely agrees too) that the "Children of God" religion are among the sickest religion in the name of religion and personally I hope that those of you in the LE community has successfully prosecuted some of the cult members for engaging in sex with those under the age of consent.
This post in no ways support religion and no proselytizing on my part is intended.
Stay Safe

Places where People are Different than US
Not really have have anything to do with Illinois. But of interest in my opinion anyway. Story about amstredam where they are getting rid of some prostitutes but the government does not want to get rid of them all.
A non-profit corporation has purchased a large number of the buildings where prostitutes pose in windows in Amsterdam's Red Light district, the city said Thursday, in a deal that may lead to a third of the windows being shuttered.
The move is intended to break a logjam in an multi-year effort by the city to cut back on the windows, which it says are a magnet for crime and money laundering.
Mayor Job Cohen said the move was not intended to get rid of prostitution entirely, since it is part of the area's history and a major tourist draw for the city.
"What we do want is to get rid of the underlying criminality," Cohen told local television station AT5.
In Thursday's deal, public housing corporation NV Stadsgoed purchased 18 buildings with 51 windows for $35 million. That is around a third of the windows in the Red Light District, though there are other prostitution zones in the city.
NV Stadsgoed will redevelop some or all of the buildings, and because they are not likely to be worth as much as housing or regular commercial real estate, the city has agreed to reimburse the corporation by up to $21 million.
"We don't know yet what's going to come in their place," Cohen said. "We're very busy making a development plan, and we hope to have that ready by the end of the year."
Amsterdam has been conducting a crackdown on criminality in the city center for nearly five years, using a 2002 law that forces business operators to disclose detailed accounting in order to have their licenses renewed.
The seller in Thursday's deal, "Fat" Charlie Geerts, was ordered by the city last year to close the windows because the city said he failed to meet standards.
But he filed a legal protest and Amsterdam's District Court granted an injunction against closures while he fought the decision.
With its scantily clad prostitutes posing in brothel windows and coffee shops oozing the pungent aroma of cannabis smoke, the Red Light district's seediness has always been part of its attraction.
Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, and coffee shops are licensed to sell small amounts of marijuana. But the district is a magnet for petty criminals and, authorities believe, human traffickers, drug lords and mobsters - who take advantage of the situation to launder money.
Prostitutes' rights organizations have generally been indifferent to the crackdown, arguing that pimps are the main source of problems, not landlords.
