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.
That seems to imply that morals mean very little.
If so, you could not be more wrong IMHO.
The genetic impact is but one of many, many serious ramifications and consequences. All of them add up to a national tragedy of huge proportions...and one I believe is being foisted on us with a will.
Either way, they are the result of the departure from and breaking of moral values which are the bedrock foundation of our Republic and the essence of what we derive our liberty from.
Hope the snow brings much needed moisture to the area there. We have had a good, wet winter.
This presentation was a great and moving experience. If you get a chance, please get at least the cassette tape and listen...and then spread it around far and wide.
It is a MUCH needed message for those all around us.
I'll wager that once you see it...you will want to spread it as far and as wide as possible. Please do.
Please, please 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 spread it around in your communities to churches and any other groups who will allow it.
With the passing of my father I have spent considerable time focusing on the issues of greatest import.
This experience has brought me back onto the stage of activism though. Please get a copy if you can...watch it...and then spread it around as far and as wide as possible.
Best Fregards!
We have to believe this. I know it to be true.
We just have to educate them and then see how many turn from it. With the type of presentation this woman makes...I'll wager great numbers who hear it will avoid the situation, or turn from it.
It is that good a message.
Agreed! 1000%!
And that is exactly what this presentation does. Please get one if you can.
I really believe this message is so very important.
My children are very young , 5 and 1 1/2, and the five year old already needs some of this info.
There is a concentrated effort to sell sex to kids, yes even this young!
Thanks again!
Thank God for these bright rays of sunshine and truth that allow us to help others. It is His way.
You will not be disappointed in this presntation in the least.
The presrentation is made by Pam Stenzel and I saw it in a church meeting.
Next, the presentation is not geared towards genetic impact. It is geared toward physical consequences from disease, mental and emotional trauima resulting from the consequent choices those participating in activity must necessarily face and towards spiritual consequences.
This does not mean there are no genetic impact and nothing like that is implied. It appears that is your hot button and God bless you for pointing it out. This presentation points out other, equally bad and impactful consequences.
Hope that helps.
It is surprising to me that I have had many parents tell me I am lucky to have boys, because I don't have to worry about anything with them. I know that is not true.
Little boys are no safer than little girls anymore.
