Church Organist, Choir Director, Sex Toy Saleswoman
Linette Servais, 50, lost her position as organist and choir director at St. Joseph Catholic Parish in New Franken, Wisconsin, when she refused to stop selling sex toys at the X-rated equivalents of Tupperware parties.
Like most everyone nowadays, Servais is a victim. She only started selling "marital aids" for the company Pure Romance after a brain tumor left her "sexually dysfunctional." She says that sleazy doohickeys empower women and help them strengthen their marriages, proudly asserting:
I feel that Pure Romance is my ministry.
But she can't have her ministry and also be the choir director and organist. She might want to try the Episcopalians or the UMC.
On a tip from Bill.

Weird flashback. In college, I went into a sex-shop with some friends. There proprietor was this seventy-something old lady who looked like someone's grandma. How bizarre.

I don't quite see why this story is on Moonbattery.com. Are the editors of the site saying that having sex is morally wrong? Or is it the opposite--that they feel the lady should not have been removed from her position as choir director because of what she does in her private time?
If its the former case, I see no problem whatsoever with the selling of these items. I'm a conservative Christian who enjoys Pure Romance products with my wife within the sanctity of our marriage vows.
If it's the latter, I totally agree. The lady isn't bringing her vibes to church to sell them there, she's doing this at private, women-only parties, in an atmosphere of fun and confidentiality. She's definitely not flaunting what she does, so I don't understand why she would be chastized in this manner. She is truly a victim, despite the snarky commentary by the editor.

Feel an episode of Dana Carvey channeling the "church lady" is coming over me...

I think Van does this now and then just to annoy us.
It's working.
