Rhode Island struggles with legal, moral aspects of human trafficking

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (CNS) -- Human trafficking and prostitution are common in Rhode Island, and of growing concern to law enforcement officials and legislators, according to several who spoke about the situation with the Rhode Island Catholic, newspaper of the Providence Diocese.

Providence, the capital -- and many other cities and towns -- are host to dozens of "massage parlors" and "spas."

Many residents are not even aware that while street prostitution is illegal in Rhode Island the selling of sex is legal behind closed doors. And in several of these parlors, women from Asian and Latin American countries are literally enslaved and coerced into performing sexual acts for a fee under the guise of working as masseuses.

A Prayer for Thomonde

Prayer for Thomonde
O God of mercy, understanding, and peace,
Let each of us realize our need for you,
And our need for one another.
Bring us closer to you.
Bring us closer to one another.
Help our beloved City of Thomonde:
To develop and maintain racial harmony,
To reject all violence,
To strive for understanding, and peace,
To find, develop and maintain prosperity.
Let there be peace on earth:
Let there be peace in our city;
Let this peace begin with me.
submitted by F.M.C.S., Brooklyn, N.Y. (via email) - Thank you!

Quote from Abraham Lincoln

"Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us." - Abraham Lincoln

The Husband Store

The Husband Store
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from

 

a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the "Husband Store" to find a husband.
On the first floor, the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled

 

to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework

 

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework,

 

and have a strong romantic streak.

 

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. OUT OF STOCK. There are no

 

men left on this floor! Thank you for shopping at the "Husband Store". Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

 

Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who can handle the truth!

 

AMEN
