On the news tonight they showed Brittany Spears pitiful exploitation of the human body. I heard it was considered a flop, and rightfully so. I hope her career is over with all the scandal in her life. So much for childhood stars! Hopefully she'll seek God and turn her life around!

You guys are really getting old, she's still a beautiful young lady with a decent voice. I hope she staightens her life out and continues with her career and has the opportunity to raise and love her children. Who do you think created her... some 20 year old guy, no, some old geezer whose making a fortune over her misery. They know how she is at this point in her life; but, they allowed her to go onstage.

I don't think it has anything to do with getting old. It has to do with a set of morals, values and Godly standards.
It is true this young lady is beautiful. But she's only beautiful on the outside. "Man judges the outer appearance, but God judges the heart."
It is also true that she is a terrrible role model for young girls everywhere. Would you want your daughter to look up to her as a role model and examle to follow and turn out like her? Madonna is another one! Paris Hilton is yet another example. Rich spoiled kids that live by their own rules.
God's gift of beauty should not to be flaunted and exploited or misused for the sake of fame and fortune.
What does God have to say about their lifestyle?:
"Father's....let not your daughter parade her charms before men."
(Sirach 42:12) St Joseph Edition Of Catholic Bible.
"Train up a child in the way they should go, so when they get older, they shall not depart from those ways." (Proverbs 22:6)
God said...I believe it...and that settles it!
Okay......I'm off my soapbox now!

I feel very sorry for her. Her performance, her choice of outfit, her life, all of it is a trainwreck. The girl needs clearly needs help, love, guidance and faith, not people exploiting her talent, or lack thereof. Another example of too much, too soon, with no idea how to handle anything.

She is a beautiful girl. Like Paris Hilton and so many others, she has to seek help and straighten out her life. What a shame to have such great looks and abuse yourself so on the inside.

She is beautiful, but she has the wrong person helping her at this point in her life.[glow=red,2,300] Madonna[/glow]
And she cannot even fix her own life..

I do pray for Brittany. She has never had guidance from her parents, they sold her down the river into the entertainment business just as they are selling her younger sister. I feel sorry for her children since hey don't have a father either. God help them. I do hope hat one day soon she wakes up and realizes what her life has become.

Lenny asks:
"What does God have to say about their lifestyle?:"
Charlie asks:
" What does God think about you judging others."
Whatever happened to " Love thy neighbor" ?
Christ taught compassion and love...praying for her is our job, judging her is the Lord's.

Charlie, you have a problem with understanding the difference between judging and admonishing. Read 2nd Timothy chapter 4. Of course, any time I quote scripture, you have to launch an attack on me and accuse me of judging and I accept your persecution as the scriptures also state that is to be expected.
I read other reply's to my post which also support the idea that this young lady is mis-guided but you never attack those reply's. Your disdain for me when I quote scripture is obvious. Your beef is not with me Charlie, it's with God himself because he is the author of scripture but it's easier to attack the person who just shares what the author of scripture has written. People just don't want to hear the truth. In church this past Sunday, I overheard the people behind me complaining that the Priest was to longwinded with his sermon. I guess they didn't want to hear what he was trying to preach and had more important things to do. People just don't seem to want to learn what is wrong in their lives so they can change and live in a more pleasing manner in the sight of God. Those who try to preach the word are accused of judging when in fact they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do through the manifestation of the gift that God gave them.
I merely stated that this girl is not a proper role model and exploits her body for the sake of fame and fortune. No one can deny that. I used the scripture which supports my stand on these child stars whose lives are in shambles because parents want to relive their own lives through their children or want their children to make them proud parents of a rich and famous star that the world will idolize without realizing the adverse affects it will have on their child's life.
There are some like myself who accept the bible as the infallible inerrant word of the ever living God who inspired His word to be written for instruction, reproof, rebuking, admonishment and correction, then there are those who reduce the scriptures to comic book status and discount the scriptures as so much hogwash written by mere men.
There would be nothing productive that could come from furthering this thread because I know from the past how these issues can get blown out of proportion, so having had my say, I'll end it here and just agree to disagree.

Lenny,
I have a problem with people that don't practice what they preach. You said " I hope her career is over with all the scandal in her life." If hoping someone else fails is your idea of being a Christian you have a lot to learn.
She has an addiction to alcohol she needs help.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN BRITTANY WAS ON STAR SEARCH? SHE WAS THE SWEETEST LITTLE GIRL WITH THE BIG BEAUTIFUL VOICE. SHE COMES FROM A RELIGIOUS FAMILY WITH GOOD RELIGIOUS VALUES. HOW, I ASK, DID HER PARENTS ALLOW HER TO GO SO ASTRAY? HER CHOICE OF MUSIC AND CLOTHING ARE TERRIBLY INNAPROPRIATE. SHE COULD BE USING HER VOICE IN A MORE ADULT WAY AND REACHING A LARGER PORTION OF THE LISTENING PUBLIC.

Charlie............The scriptures admonish to cut out the cancer before it spreads to the rest of the body. This is what we do when someone has cancer of the body and what we must do with cancer of the body of the church.
The scriptures talk of people who are cancer among the body of the church and when they do things that are abominable in the sight of God without atonement or repentance, they must be cut out of the body before they influence others and spread like cancer and destroy the body of the church.
This is what I meant when I said that I hope she fails in her music career. Other young ladies look up to her as a role model and will grow up to emulate their idol and we'll wind up with yet another generation of Brittany Spear's wanna be's. Brittany Spears is the cancer spoken about in scripture that will spread to other innocent girls if she is not cut out of the industry. She has been given multiple chances to turn her life around and has refused to take advantage of all the help she has been offered. This is her choice and her decision. Her downfall will be of her own doing. But we must do what we can to save other girls from following her bad example, and if Brittany Spears hitting rock bottom is what it will take.....then so be it!

She was born in 1981 and started on the New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993 and has been working since. Never had the chance to grow up as a normal teenager and I know missing that part of my life in the Bronx would have made me a different person. Thank God my family was poor and I had no talent. But, I do have lots of friends and great memoies.

Lenny,
Unless I'm getting senile I don't ever remember reading that Christ turned away anyone or cut them out. I believe there is hope for everyone and until their last breathe they can find forgiveness.
And I don't always agree with you; but, "who Loves you'.
