Daughter gave me back her purity ring

[Purelovelasts]

"The Family Research Council surveyed 1,100 people about their sexual satisfaction... It was “found that 72 percent of all married ‘traditionalists' (those who believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong) report high sexual satisfaction. This is,” Mattox explained, “roughly 31 percentage points higher than the level registered by unmarried ‘non-traditionalists’ and 13 percentage points higher than that registered by married non-traditionalists.”

[Purelovelasts]

"According to a study by the National Survey of Family Growth, women who have the kind of sexual experience Hax advocates — the premarital kind — increase their odds of divorce by about 60 percent. McManus, a counselor points out that it is, 'secular evidence for St. Paul’s injunction, 'flee fornication.'"

[socksumi]

This is not far from driving down the street waving the bloody sheet she used during her first act of sex as a "symbol of her pre-marital virginity". Wow what a proud papa.

[andyscoot43]

Fucked up, HE gave him her ring, as if he has fucking power over it. Seriously, creepy.

[Amandathepandabear2]

(continued) But the most important thing is, God loves you. He loves you so much! And it's ppl like Pastor Francis that intercede for you daily.

[Amandathepandabear2]

Often, people ask me who I'm engaged to. I tell them "Jesus", because it's true. I tell them how the Bible is the greatest love story of all time, of Jesus preparing Himself to rescue His bride, the church. Yes you can be pure without one, but it's more fun to have it. Plus, how cool would it be to give your ring to your spouse the day you marry? Pretty awesome! I LOVE Francis and Suzie, and for those who are against purity, I feel sorry for you. Some ppl hate you and others applaud you

[JuliaHalfJew]

She was a virgin 'til she was 27?

Bummer.

[nicoley4ever]

@timbulb why do religous people scare you?

[0WarXHawk0]

@nicoley4ever Religious people aren't scary, more like hilarious.

[timbulb]

Religious people frighten me.

[dcd889]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH ROFLMAO

[MultiFagman]

what a twat

[CES888100]

"Stay and go and be with someone", what the hell does that mean? that's not exactly clear to me! The moment she gave him back the ring, was that the moment she was finally brainwashed

[RelyOnCake]

@CES888100 I think he was trying to say go stay with someone and be with them. I couldn't really hear him tho.

[leafclash]

He was good.

Why are you all so critical and judgemental?

What he was saying was good.

You're all, I'm sorry to say, ignorant and arrogant.

[fabienporay]

fucking asshole

[Jenderbender7]

THIS GUY IS FUCKKKKKKKED

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Threw back your purity ring? Ha-HA!!!! You suck! They're probably off fucking the landscaper's hired help.

[Pompelipom33]

He need help.

[Theshowwshoww]

aww thats cute

[juicyyygirl0325]

why do christians put so much pressue on girls to stay pure! boys are just as at fault but i believe sex is a persons choice and no ones business but their own! this guy is a creep!

[ChurchOfArceus]

@juicyyygirl0325 - Yeah, throughout history it seems to be up to girls to remain "sexually pure." If a girl has sex when she's young, she's a whore. If a guy has sex when he's young, he's considered manly. WTF?

[fudgeyboombah]

@juicyyygirl0325 It's not just girls. Boys are also expected to remain pure until marriage. The purity ring is something for dads and daughters, designed to make girls feel special. You think boys would *like* a purity ring? Would *want* to go to a purity ball with their mum? Probably not. The idea is to raise girls up and say "Hey, princess, you're priceless. If you don't toss rubies in the trash, or feed dogs fine meat, neither do you need to squander yourself on anyone unworthy of you."

[neelantra]

@juicyyygirl0325 there are ones for boys.

[Jadicegirl]

I believe in freedom of sexual choice, but I also believe that young men and women should be of an age to responsibly make that choice. Deep down, the greatest part of wisdom is understanding when you don't know enough about something, like love and sex, and waiting until you are better informed and old enough to act on such feelings. It's hard for the very young, especially when hormones are the greatest driving force, but it's best to wait, rather than rush into sex too soon.

[catsallmighty]

Aww, another man who doesn't like the way the world is... Feel free to move to Mars, we get along just fine without your kind. Celibacy should be a choice, OF THE PERSON. Not his or her parents. Please, as a species, can we move away from these centuries-old values and superstitions? Times change. Religions should too. Are you going to terrorize your kid and rob them of their right to choose? or are you going to accept their choice, even if it differs from yours?

[Plentopic]

Accept someone's choice that's different from theirs? Please! That's the hardest thing a person of faith can do!

[poetichild]

@catsallmighty God created free will so you can do what you want.....but it's up to you to chooses the right path...God does not force anything upon you really he gives you a choice.

[GodLovesUs100]

@catsallmighty Truth never changes.The hypocrisy of the liberal argument is unbelievable to me...if you take God out of the picture, you take his law out and if you take that out, you're left with no objective morality therefore my say of what is right and wrong is just as valid as yours.How then can you stand there and tell us standing against pre-marital sex is wrong and something we should not be doing?You have no authority to say so and only argue in circular logic.

[GodLovesUs100]

@catsallmighty (cont...) truth is, scoffers come and go, people have been saying this against the Bible for God knows how many years.Where are they know?Where is their sting?Where is there wisdom?There names have been almost forgotten and their impact hardly remembered.However, the word of God still abides strong and his words shall never pass away.You try to justify sin b/c you're in the flesh, the natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God.Repent/

[amyyyamy]

@catsallmighty thank you for this comment!!! love the part about moving to mars :)

[candlelyte008]

Celibacy can be a positive choice IF it's what the person wants and is for a set period of time in their life, as it can protect them from decisions they may regret later, and free them to follow pursuits other than romance. Teenage love is a wonderful thing, but it seldom lasts, and if a young person lacks the personal maturity to understand that sex doesn't always equal love, maybe they are better off waiting. But that should be up to them. Not some creepy preacher like Ted Haggard...

[elkehameln]

hahaha, this is a joke, right? the girls who wear purity rings are going to be SO PISSED as soon as they find out what they have missed in life. teenage love is one of the most romanic and intense things you will ever experience if you're together with the right guy. how can you just throw that away? i just can't belive it ...

by the way: sexuality is a basic human need. you can't expect your girls not to satisfy it and to shut up at the same time.

[candlelyte008]

Abstinence is a worthwhile cause...for teenagers. I grew up in a very religious environment, have friends in their thirties who brag about being virgins. It's just kind of creepy after a certain age, that full grown adults would allow a group of people to exert that much control over their personal lives. I'm never going to raise my daughter like this. Any daughter of mine will know she's worth more than what's between her legs.

[elkehameln]

what if your teenage daughter has the desire to be with the guy she loves and to have sex with him? will her desire then still be worth more than what's between her legs? i hope so ...

[Wombat1965]

Maybe you won't try and objectify your daughter as a worthless object which belongs to you until you find a suitable man to hand her on to for him to use. Sick and creepy idea, the whole purity ring crap.You gave it to her husband and "commissioned him to continue to love and protect her"? In other words, "Here buddy, this piece of meat used to belong to me, now it belongs to you, do whatever you want with it."

[451ianDragonist]

If sex is so sinful, why did God give it to us? Why didn't he just make us split in half like bacteria? Or maybe it's the Devil? Yeah, sure.

[xoxochristiangirl]

sex is not a sin!!!! it is a precious girft god has given us. he wants us to share that gift with the one perosn in our life, our spouse.

[IronOxideCorset]

Then why do we start puberty between the ages of 8-16? Why don't we start it in our twenties if this was all about what "god wanted"?

[peepcrud]

I commission you to look after my daughter....

What?

[peepcrud]

fnarr fnarr fnarr..... :D

[KiwiUWA]

Listen no matter what you may think keeping a promise to yourself and your future spouse is totally worth it. I totally agree and i also know this woman who kept this promise and i totally respect her for it.

[SailorBarsoom]

This whole thing creeps me out, and God help any of these young women if they are ever raped. She will feel that she is now worthless, that she has no precious gift to give her someday husband, that her purity is gone.

I'm not suggesting that rape would be a mere annoyance for a woman with a different upbringing, but this is just setting the poor girl up for emotional devastation.

Am I the only one who thinks all this is has vaguely incestuous overtones?

[TomAndThatsAll]

Ok SallorBarsoom, this is a problem I have with the WHOLE institution of marriage that Im wondering your thoughts on. BIGGEST DOUBLE STANDARD I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!! "HER purity is gone" "no precious gift to some day give to HER HUSBAND" My point being, even my SUPER conservative teacher mentions how in his hometown in ireland girls were expected to be virgins but every guy had taken a ride on the "Town bike" now Im not criticizing your beliefs, but Im saying I have noticed A LOT more

[SailorBarsoom]

I think we're in agreement. When a girl (not a woman yet) is taught that her value depends on her virginity, then she is in effect being told that her value can be stolen from her.

But yeah, where is the video of a mother saying "When my son got married, he gave me back the purity ring I'd given him when he was thirteen, and I gave it to his wife."

Where is that video? Who worries if HE has HIS precious virginity intact, a gift for his wife?

You haven't heard it, and neither have I.

[JudahbearHudbugMOM]

I'm his daughter. I wanted to give my purity to my husband on our wedding night and yes I waited. I'm happily married with two little boys now. It was not easy but somethings in life are worth waiting for. :)

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

"It was not easy but somethings in life are worth waiting for. :)"

I doubt the first time was anything worth waiting for.

And if that's your opinion, then you don't know what good sex is anyway.

Do you consider pornography to be sinful? Sexual literature?

I'm not a pervert, I just struggle to understand where a Holy Christian Union would get it's technique from. I've read several Christian Marriage books, and the sections on sex are usually shorter than the copyright page.

[SailorBarsoom]

If you felt that it was important for you to not have sex until you were married, and you in fact did not have sex until you were married, then good on you. You are practicing what you preach and thus can not be counted among the numerous hypocrites who are having scads of sex while telling others that they must wait.

But the teenage girl who decides that she doesn't want to wait is no less worthwhile a human being than you.

[SailorBarsoom]

This is what makes me uncomfortable with these purity rings and other such things. They seem to suggest that the woman who has not is superior to the woman who has.

Well, that and the fact that your virginity and, by extension, you, are being treated as a commodity to be handed off from one man to another.

Well, that and the vaguely incestuous overtones to the whole thing.

[twincrier]

Wow. How can anyone oppose young teens deciding to not be sluts? Don't ya think it might be a good idea to encourage teens who choose not to spread their legs? Does choice only matter if you're choosing to kill a fetus?

[SailorBarsoom]

I think that teenagers who choose to abstain from sex should be respected and should be supported in that decision.

I also think that teenagers who choose to have sex should be respected and should be supported in that decision.

[TomAndThatsAll]

Abstain from sex childrens! geared towards FEMALES, and not ONCE (Sorry, mabey you can be the first to say it to me) NOT ONCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! Heard "If a man is seduced by a prostitute, raped, etc. he feels worthless, he has no precious gift to give to his wife, his purity is gone" NEVER ONCE have I heard this, but Ive heard talk of how young girls need to save themselves for guys. Any thoughts? Do you believe that MEN need to save themselves for their wife? If so good on you, you are a

[TomAndThatsAll]

hehheh, sorry for replying on so many messages but I need to post it all and there is teh bloody limit. So if you hold MEN to the same standard good on you, I respect that, but Im just saying I have heard a LOT LOT LOT more talk of fathers needing to keep their daughters pure, and women losing their purity than I have of men. Id say its about a 90/10% ratio as far as I have seen at least, any thoughts?

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

"Wow. How can anyone oppose young teens deciding to not be sluts?"

No one is, but simply having sex isn't automatically slutty.

"Don't ya think it might be a good idea to encourage teens who choose not to spread their legs?"

Actually, no, especially late teens. Like it or not, sexuality is an extremely large part of human behavior, what with being evolutionarily responsible for our "consciousness". However there are Correct, safe ways to do it, and pretending sex to be evil certainly isn't.

[TeamEuropaa]

gay ass christians think their cool lol@virgins they need a bang

[javaromaa]

Lol @ russia

"GIVE ME SOME VODKA"

[shojingod]

So the first night will be pure crap. MASTURBATION. It is always forgotten in this equation like a non-existant theory. Loving one self should be the universal rule then you don't feel the presure of sexual partner release. You will never, ever kill biology. The more you try the more it bites you in the ass.

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

A putiry ring?

Does anyone honestly believe that she REALLY honored it, or just gave it back to daddy so that he'd pay for the ceremony?

[SailorBarsoom]

We don't know. Unless you had sex with her or she confessed to you or something like that, you just don't know.

BTW, am I the only one who thinks that this handing over of a human being, virginity oh-so-importantly intact, is eerily like a transfer of property?

[WeedGreenPowerRanger]

"BTW, am I the only one who thinks that this handing over of a human being, virginity oh-so-importantly intact, is eerily like a transfer of property?"

Thats what it used to be, and has been for thousands of years. I find it funny that now that people are finally getting married for love, homosexuals want to do it, and suddenly "traditional marriage" must be preserved!

(They dont want traditional marriage.)

And BTW; Business transaction? Why do you think the dress is white? No scratches!

[JamesThWilliams]

Killing the innocent people of soddom and gamora (I don't believe this or any other story) is a discusting act of the highest degree of saddism.
