If I only had a brain...
Apropos 'whore in church' -- I just had to explain the text and subtext of 'come to Jesus meeting' to a Buddhist co-worker. So embarrassing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Would it be embarassing for you to explain it to my non-Buddhist self? I seem to be missing something.

My former bosses usually used the phrase "Come to Jesus meeting" when we'd have to call someone on the carpet about whatever they were doing wrong, and let them know they were on thin ice and better get in line.

What is even happening?
I've never had it explicitly explained, but I always took it to mean how it's used in Monique's context.
My guess is that it is short hand for being shown the error of your ways, and your need to repent.

I need to update my tag! ("Sweatin' like a whore in church") it was from last summer when it was a brazillion degrees in my office.

That's how I understood it too. But I'm assuming there's more to it, something potentially embarassing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's not about the embarrassment, so much as the hellfire and damnation.

I don't even like getting heckfire and darnation.
