"Sex has a price tag"
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"
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.
Sorry, I am a little sensative on this issue.
If we hadn't first been so permissive with pre-marital sex, cohabitation, and the like, we probably wouldn't have to be dealing on a large scale with homosexuality and all kinds of other sexual proclivities. When we opened the door, even slightly, to sexual expression outside of marriage, we might as well have opened the floodgates.
After reading countless threads on homosexuality, I was beginning to think that Freepers didn't care about other sexual sins. Fornication and adultery are also condemned in the Bible, and they take their toll on the individual as well as on society as a whole.
As I have mentioned before, the best way to rid society of homosexual behaviour is to return to the ban on all sexual activity outside of wedlock and allow marriage only between a man and a woman.
I was, uhm, bothered, by the fact that some girl I had relations with in high school killed my child.
You are bothered by - what? I forget. It seems nonsensical, in comparison. Well, if one values LIFE.
He was a WWII lifer!
Can't spell Taliban without 'ban'. We shouldn't be promoting promiscuity as we do on so many levels. That I can agree with. In fact, if we're going to promote anything, why not promote excellence and the benefits that come from it?
I'll tell you why, diversity has taken us to the lowest common denominator and to do so would only be seen by those who need a 'hand-up' as a threat to their claim. What claim, you ask? The claim that we all be equal, of course.
