We’re always getting accused of being steeped in sex and godless hedonism, but then…have you seen the New Glow Baptist Church?
The New Glow Baptist Church has taken a bold step in advertising their services in a way that is unique and controversial. Their Instagram page is filled with images of women dressed in revealing outfits, with captions that invite newcomers to “Come As You Are” and “There Are No Dress Codes Here.” The bio section of their page also makes it clear that there is no dress code at the church.
You don’t need to check out their instagram page, I can summarize it with a safe-for-work image.
I strongly suspect this is not a real church and lacks any formal affiliation with any Baptist denomination, but is instead a scam. They want you to join their patreon account for $11.99 a month. Also I definitely believe this: the women they use are AI-generated.
According to information obtained by MandyNewsm.com, some the photos that have been circulating on social media are not real but are in fact generated by an AI.
I wonder if the combination of fetish porn and religion can really be that profitable?

I shudder to think what’s going to happen when Baptists find a way to biblically justify signing on to the sexbot-heavy vision of the future that’s emerged in parts of the Silicon Valley/alt-right nexus.

What wrong with sex and hedonism?

They’re just trying to appeal to the most depraved sinners so they can save their souls.

Followup article states they’re not a church.

Maybe they’re using fake church status to get a “religious freedom” exemption from any and all laws restricting or regulating porn.

Hey, Doc, That pic you put up front is totally inappropriate and should have gone below the fold. You could have put some others down there, too. Maybe some from Instagram. Complete picture. Comprehensive review. You would do that for your spiders so why not this topic? How about a follow-up?

And here is me assuming it is so that when a wife sees a charge to a ‘church’ on the credit card bill they don’t realise he is accessing porn

Also, they might be trying to avoid paying taxes. It’s a twofer.

Depending on how obvious that is, it might actually make it not a scam. Instead it’s just a porn site with some particular framing. I’ve seen some over the years that use a setting to give the porn a context.

Wasn’t that an Oglaf cartoon?
Oh, yeah. “Unction”.

Oh hells yes! As a former born again xian O.M.G you will never find a more thirsty bunch. Obsessed with sex and will twist their universe into pretzels to both justify and guilt. Masturbation is a sin, fornication is a sin, holding hands with a man/woman before marriage is a sin. If you have lots of photos taken of you you become shallow because men with lust in their hearts are looking at them and that mystically reduces you, mystically. Masturbation is a sin because it’s gay.
AI imagery would be a feature for some people because if it’s not a real woman is it really a real sin?
