Meaning: A prostitute is always a prostitutes no matter any kind  life you gave to her, she still remains the same.
I don see where people repent and turned new leaf oh. E fit still happen with prostitutes too.

Hehe @MP my brother is not easy sha, such life is demonic and it takes only the grace of God for them to get total free from such life and even as that ones once they still have the feeling. I have witness a fully dedicated one at then who gave her life and surrendered her life even relocated to another state but still feels the same, since there wasn't her place or where i was well known she decided do and maintain her life forgotten that she can't hide from God instead only hiding from man. So you see, which is why i said they remains the same.
