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.

For one, I have added "bastard" back in my spoken vocabulary, for its actual meaning.

There is one in my distant family; I believe bastards' parents must come face to fact to the reality that they have produced a bastard, if not a killing, when man and woman are so carelessly casual.

I don't understand your being judgemental here!

It is time to help by not fanning the flames!

Many got into trouble because this nation was under attack!

The Young were the casualty!

I pray we stop the blame and start to defend good, support and strengthen one an other to do right!

???????????????????????????

Bastards are made bastards.

2/3 of negro children are bastards. I don't know the other races' "out of wedlock" ratios. Children are born to responsible married parents or they are bastards, if they survive the abortionists' gauntlet.

Our young must learn reality.

This is not namecalling. Bastard is a status, a legal status. "Born out of wedlock" is gibberish.

It is not settling for PC dogma that no matter whether parents are married.

IMO, it matters a lot, especially to current taxpayers paying for irresponsible parents. If I am forced by government to check my "race", I demand that government require birthright status for bastards.

Shame must be reintroduced to the social intercourse.

So little babies born with unwed mothers are bastards to you?

In your geneology were all of your ancestor married before you got here?

Let me relate a story that unraveled this weekend in a local church that involves sex.

We always watch the early morning service from this church as we eat breakfast and get ready for church. We have known the music director there for 10+ years as he was a member of our church for a long period of time, was involved in the local home school community and others.

Yesterday we noticed he was not leading the music as he usually did. We thought he must be out of town, sick or something. Last night we had a long visit with my SIL who is a member there and the best friend of the music director's wife.

As Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story. He was having an affair with a member of the congregation. He has now lost everything he ever had. They had plotted on his withdrawing retirement funds, her kicking her husband out and then he would move in with her. Needless to say, the plot unraveled, the adulterer is our of his home, has lost his wife and family and job. The adulteress has lost her husband and family and has had to move in with a friend who would take her.

Our pastor preached on satan yesterday and how he will wind his way into our lives and that marriages are one of his favorite targets. He just succeeded in breaking up two families for a few short minutes of pleasure.

Yet many prime time TV shows and films promote anti- family values particularly destructive in this age of AIDS and other incurable STD.

The so-called Russian Experiment of the late 30s and early 40s has offered impressive evidence to the importance of marriage and family for individuals and for a stable society.

...and on adults who practice sex out of wedlock... 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...

Well, it's a bold step to include adults.

Adults who have sex out of wedlock both cause and bear most of the emotional burden, and virtually all of the burden of sex-related violence (which is grossly underestimated), and are largely responsible for the disastrous expansion of single motherhood.

It is telling that the message is apparantly cast in terms of STDs, which in many ways are the least of the problem associated with sexual promiscuity.

Just last night she was talking to my wife and mother-in-law about how someday she wanted to find a man just like to me to marry , and that my wife was lucky !

Congratulations, you've succeeded! That's my strategy, (my daughter's only six) but I figure if I raise the bar high enough for what a man is supposed to be, she won't settle for some dweeb.

I always did like the stories of the Prophet Elisha. He knew of what he spoke, all except the one about the she bears and the forty two children.
