Out of wedlock Sex has a price...and it is one of the things destroying our youth and our nation.
Sex has a price tag ^ | February 29, 2004 | Jeff Head

Posted on 02/29/2004 7:08:07 PM PST by Jeff Head

Today during our church services we held a combined meeting of all of the adult men and women who were not involved teaching our primary aged (2-11) and youth aged (12-18) children. I wanted to report to FR about the meeting and the content and its impact. The meeting had been planned for some time to view the video"


"Sex has a price tag"

A lot of thought and prayer went into presenting this video and its content. We wanted the adult thoughts on this before we hold a meeting for all of the youth in our congregation.

The video is very direct and very plain and straight talking about the sexual revolution and its physical, emotional and spiritual impact on the youth in America...and on adults who practice sex out of wedlock. It is extremely well done and is delivered very professionally and very aptly in the video to a catholic high school assembly meeting by a Pam Stenzel. She uses appropriate humor, straight talk, statistics, clear logic and scriptural reference to reveal the truth about the rampant spread of over 30 STD's in our society today, many of which I had never heard of before, and their impact. She speaks very eloquently about the terrible emotional and mental impact of the consequences of these diseases both to those who contract them...and to any future partners or spouses they may have.

The presentation would not be allowed in public schools because of its religious message...but the overall message is one that every American adult, parent and child from the sixt grade up should hear.

Our congregation is of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but we very willing listened for an hour to a presentation by this good, moral and very talented Catholic woman as she presented the truth ahout the virtue of sex within marriage, and the abject dangers and rampant disease and risk associated with it outside of marriage.

I urge every Freeper to get a copy of this video or cassette and view it yourself...then show it to your entire family...then do all in your power to hold church and community meetings to show it to everyone you can.

The speaker talks of the media's willing efforts to hide and obscure the facts and only present their politcally correct and motivated message that is doooming hundreds of thousands of people, even millions (mainly youth) to misery and eventual death by not presenting all of the facts.

I am completely unaffiliated with the people producing the video, but know it is available in cassette and DVD format as well. I inted to buy one for each of my grown daughters (two married and one single) and send it to them urging them to watch it ASAP and teach the information to their own children (in the case of the married daughters) as soon as they are of age.

I intend to buy many cassettes and vidos and DVD's and to work here in Emmett, ID to have every church in our valley of every denomination look to having similar presentations...ultimately having them all come together for a community presentation to reach as many people and youth as possible.

Needless to say, I was very impressed by this timely and critical message, and despite whatever doctrinal differences my church and denominations have between themselves...this truth is universal and something most all of us can agree on and present for the benefit of all.

This woman points out how the unwanted pregnancy is the least of the worries.

The STD's are the whirlwind. The viral ones are incurable and are with you for life...some fo them do not require techical "sex" to transmit...any genital contact is all it takes...and some of them make that life terrible and much shorter. She points our how one is a major contributor to cervical cancer which is the second leading cancer killer of woman and a lot of it it is based on a viral STD.

She points out how the major media is willingly and knowingly ignoring much of this.

It is an absolutely GREAT presentation and I encourage everyone to get a copy...watch it...and then let your heart move them to action and spread it around their own communities. The good that could be accomplished by this alone are almost incalcuable in prevented misery and death of we will but act.

I intend to in my communty.

No, no my friend...I am talking about the decision that was made without your consent...perhaps without your knowledge. The law is written (unfortunately) to leave the unwed father completely out of that decision.

I apologize for any miscommunication of that.

Great post, Jeff.

Pam's very brave, and the young people are startled to hear her "original" message that they are actually valuable in the eyes of God, and can say no, and expect to be treated as they treat others...with respect.

If ever there was a need for some major class-action lawsuits against those who helped destroy so many young lives....and their unborn.

Pam's in demand. A hopeful sign.

Sin leads to death...rightousness leads to life. This is becoming more and more apparent in the physical realm as well...not just spiritually.

In fact, it has always been thus.

Those preaching sexual promiscuity...or promoting or winking at it...unfortunately stretch to both sides of the aisle these days.

But the vast majority of it comes from the left and the democratic party platform and their abettors and enablers.

Thank you...may we all never tire of it!

Those that are with us are mightier and more powerful than they that be against us.

If I could have stopped that ... But I could not. I failed - they killed my child.

God, forgive me. I failed.

Her presentation and her own personal testimony of the sanctity of life as applied in her own case was among the most powerful messages you can hear in that regard.

I pray that her message is trumpeted and magnified ten thousand fold...nay, a million fold all over this nation.

We intend to do our part in a little town in SW Idaho...and in the spirit of what happened in Klamath in 2001, I know FR can stretch that reach all over this nation.

I pray it shall. If you know Pam, let her know that a fire has been lit to add to the many tens of thousands she has already lit.

That child, IMHO, has been received to our Father's paradise...and you will be reunited with your own in due course my friend, forever where moth and rust do not corrupt.

In the mean time, it is left to us in this sphere to spread the word and help others know the truth so they may choose aright.

It's worse to do evil things, and say they're not evil, thus encouraging the weak and wobbly to do them, than to do evil without publicly espousing that it's not evil. We know that both parties have partiers - but one is more open about it.

Thank you, Jeff for the informative post. And God bless this woman for having the courage and wherewithal to put the message together.

But I do have to make some note of one of your posts....... She points our how one is a major contributor to cervical cancer which is the second leading cancer killer of woman and a lot of it it is based on a viral STD.

She is refering to HPV and it needs to be remembered that HPV is the direct cause of more than 98% of all cervical cancers.

HPV (human papillioma (sp?) virus) is an STD that is generally only noticed in women because of it being the major cause of cervical cancer...........the word needs to be put out that men need to be checked for this virus as well.

Cervical cancer is NOT caused by smoking - it is caused by a virus that is tranferred through sexual relations and the so-called health industry needs to get over their obsession with cigarette smoking and do some good for a change (OK-there I've totally proved to those that have claimed it in the past I am a one-issue FReeper)

Funny you should bring this topic up. I was just thinking about this video today. Our old ward showed it to the parents and the youth. It is excellent. As a school-based RN, I wish that I could show this to all of my middle school students. This woman hits the proverbial nail on the head. Thank you for the information. I am going to buy a copy for my family. I am going to take it to the leaders in my new ward and get them to review it to show the youth there. Take care and God bless. (BTW, so sorry about your Dad. I hope your heart is healing and your family is doing well. Please send my best wishes to your sweet mother.)

You didn't fail....others failed.

I believe God never felt a need to forgive you...

But..but...but..."The 70's Show" says that teenage sex is only sport and carries no consequences other than a nice afterglow(?)

Who to believe? Hmmmmmmm.........
