Pom Michael Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I am an Ex-Church monger. I use to go every week. I have reformed myself and I no longer need to go again. Ever. I may go into a Wat, or even a Church from time to time. But it is no longer a compulsion, and it is no longer an expectation. Guess what? I don't even have the desire to go anymore. I learned myself that church going was doing more harm to me than good - so I stopped. I have no ill feelings about my fellow churchgoers. I wish them luck. I have not changed my beliefs or my value system by not going to church. Maybe I need to go see Father T ? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi! Some are and some are not. I don't have any problem with people who chose to change their life. What I do have a problem with is people who tell me how to live my own life. I think this is a major cause of problems in the world be they religious or political fanatics or just whoremongers that can't hack it anymore I do find it hypocritical when people who obviously have move to Thailand for the cheap pussy post lengthy rants about alleged sex tourists. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encore Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 At some stage, I tried to become an ExWM, not because of religious conversion, but partly because of concern for the girls. But then one of them told me: Who are you, with your white middleclass liberal concerns, to deprive us of all the income we need to send to mum for sick buffaloe etc. We don't give a shit about that conscience, we just want to earn an honest Baht'. So then this W MC L male asked: but what if I tell you what you're doing is not good for you, it has risks of disease and death, it is bad for your emotions and your soul, you'd be better off planting rice. And she said : WTF, who are you, rich farang, to tell me what is good for me. I DECIDE! Yes, I can be awfully patronising at times. I conceded. Now i'm an Ex Ex WM, and enjoying it when i can. But I do really get pissed off by all these reformed smokers, telling me how bad it is for my health! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, only if they tell us so, other wise if they say nothing, then not.

gobbledonk Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Are ex-whoremongers hypocrits? That's a little like being an 'ex-alcoholic' isnt it ? You might be able to get sober, but do you ever really stop being an 'alcoholic' ? As far as I'm concerned, I've committed no crime - money changed hands and everyone left with a smile.

cardinalblue Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Romp, Hypocritical regarding if one uses services and then criticises those services? Can not one upgrade from a Toyota to a Volvo? All it is is perceived value. Maybe the toyota is better value but all that matters is what the individual purchaser is buying and how he views it? One can get tired of the same thing or realize there are possible better personal options out there or just plain ignorant going in and then a light bulb goes off.... So a smoker is not a hypocrite only by saying he loves it; anything else (knowing that it is bad, saying he should quit, a disgusting habit, etc) he is a hypocrite?

soongmak Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 CB, First, a car or a pack of smokes is entirely different than a prostitute. The latter is a person, for one. I have no problems with people moving on to new and possibly better things in life. Progression is only natural. It just shows maturity if you can do so without looking down on the people whose company you once enjoyed. Just like a self-made millionaire who thinks he is better than his former buddies, because he made a fortune. The guy would be a lot more sympathetic and mature if he remembered and respected where he came from. Cheers, soongmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soongmak Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 To add a note: It is just like Romp says: "any body can reform! anybody can learn". This is true for whoremongers and prostitutes alike. Moving on is hard for both groups. The barscene can be highly addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 On an etymological note, from where did this term "whoremonger" come into such persistently incorrect use? A "monger" is a seller as in "fishmonger", a seller of fish, "ironmonger", a seller of iron, and, by extension, "warmonger", a promoter of war. With respect to prostitution, a "whoremonger" could only mean a pimp, a distinction for which probably few of the nanaplaza board members are qualified. On the other hand non-pejorative terms for customers of sex workers do not abound in English. How about "clients?" Khun Pad Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
