"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.
I will pass this info on to my homeschooling groups as well. There is a need for this type of material, I am so glad you posted this information.
I want to get on the thread about my Dad and respond to everyone who so g4aciously prayed for him and us...and who wished us the best. I just haven't been able to do it yet.
But I will.
This message (from this presentation) is something we need to make available to as many people of as many faiths and denominations as possible. For good, honorable people, irrespective of their particular religious affiliation, this is information that cuts across denominational boundaries.
As regards homosexuality, God's law has always indicated that this was a sin and is also clear that marriage is between a man and a woman.
This presentation makes so clear what the consequences of this sinful behavior is...whether one believes it is sin or not, they cannot escape the clear physical risks and consequences...or later the spiritual ones either for that matter.
Please, please get a copy...watch it...show it to your loved ones, particular kids and grandkids over ten or twelve years of age...and then spread it around in your communities to churches and any other groups who will allow it.
It is a difficult situation because oft times, the stigma the parents produce is carried forward because of their bad example to the 2nd, 3rd and further generations. We can see it around us today in so much of the welfare state, the so-called "great" society. Very sad indeed.
Please, please get a copy of this video or the cassette tape...watch it...show it to your loved ones, particular any with kids and grandkids over ten or twelve years of age...and then spread it around in your communities to churches and any other groups who will allow it.
Please, please try and get a copy of this...watch it...show it to your loved ones, particular kids and grandkids over ten or twelve years of age...and then, if you can, find the time to spread it around in your communities to churches and any other groups who will allow it.
Satan rages in so many hearts these days. We must all rely on the strength and merits of Him who is mighty to save, and use that strength to resist and overcome temptation. Else we shall all fall to such ruin.
Unfortunately, with teenage sex being as rampant as it has become...a larger and larger percentage of the single parent families come from that areana these days.
It is a national tragedy...all of it.
...and she does focus very heavily on the more important spiritual costs of this behavior.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Please, please get a copy of this presentation...watch it...show it to your loved ones, particular kids and grandkids over ten or twelve years of age...and then spread it around in your communities to churches and any other groups who will allow it.
