[A Balrog of Morgoth]

May 6, 2005 -- Bolting bride Jennifer Wilbanks was chaste away — by her fiancé's insistence on abstinence, friends of the sex-deprived couple claim. "She told people the fact that she and [husband-to-be John Mason] were not having sex was upsetting," a friend of Wilbanks' told People magazine, which hits newsstands today.

Mason was once a "wild" guy who "dated a lot," his running pal Ted King said.

But he became a born-again virgin — eschewing premarital sex — five years ago after pledging himself to his Baptist faith, friends said.

This thread ought to be amusing......

.....ping.....

[DainBramage]

Cold feet = Cold booty.

Ma'am,

I believe this thread might be of some interest.

Respectfully,

Balrog

You would think if that were the case, she would have been looking forward to the wedding night, not avoiding it!

[nuconvert]

She and Mason, he said, "are extremely together."

I'd say she's extremely UNtogether.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

There was a theory that she was afraid of prospect of having sex.

There was another that he had "renewed" his virginity.

We can certainly discount the first theory.

[OpusatFR]

No wonder I watch the the Spanish language channel. It's better for my mental health to fill in the narrative myself while watching the news.

Pastor Tom Smiley said Wilbanks is undergoing "professional therapy" and has "postponed" her wedding. She and Mason, he said, "are extremely together."

Am I the only one here who is starting to think that maybe the good Pastor is part of the problem, not the solution?

" ... he became a born-again virgin — eschewing premarital sex — five years ago after pledging himself to his Baptist faith, friends said ... "

Born again virgin?

Perhaps a FReeper theology expert will clear this one up? Do please make it convincing. I have laughed enough for one morning.

[nuconvert]

"maybe the good Pastor is part of the problem, not the solution?"

I'm thinking you may be on to something there.

[maestro]

Yep....

?.....she has many past problems?

?.....she's an 'evolutionist'... nurse....?

?....This may be ALL ABOUT her 'spiritual' (sin/guilt before God) problem....?

Then again,.....she may be afraid of 'failure'....of some kind...

These folks need to 'talk-pray-more',.....and understand Biblical-Marraige!

(....this is NOT a T.V. $$$$$$ game show.....or is it?)

His pastor sounds like one of those "trendy Vicars", if you catch my meaning.

He could be a great minister who just doesn't do so well when it comes to TV, but I have my doubts.

"You would think if that were the case, she would have been looking forward to the wedding night, not avoiding it!"

That was my thought when I read this.

"Meanwhile, it was revealed yesterday the runaway bride claimed to have been raped during her "kidnapping."

"She made accusations she had been sexually assaulted during the course of her abduction," Albuquerque Police Sgt. Trish Ahrensfield told reporters.

Wilbanks reportedly submitted to a rape exam even though investigators did not request one. She later recanted both the rape and kidnapping claims."


The TV news media sure aren't reporting this false rape claim. I guess it wouldn't fit the template they've constructed for the story.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

This thing is so far out in left field, I don't think the news media even has a working template.

[buckeyesrule]

****Am I the only one here who is starting to think that maybe the good Pastor is part of the problem, not the solution?*****

Both of these pastors in this story seem like major league dingbats!

[SeeRushToldU_So]

They are both nuts, they are embarrassing to GA. Someone please make them go away.

[maggief]

Born-again virgin ping!

[Moose4]

That chick has Issues. Only a word starting with a capital letter will do...Issues.

Her statement sounded like "Well, no, it wasn't really cold feet, I don't know why I did it...actually, I still can't think of anything that sounds valid, can you give me a few more days?"
