margaret/Meg (same IP address, same phraseology, same grammar and capitalization (or lack therof)): And the promise ring also shows that Mom and Dad do not view the girl as a person, but as a commodity. A commodity which will lose all value if she is not a virgin at marriage.

If it works for you, great. But, in my opinion (and in the opinion of others), it teaches the little girl that she is not a human being, she has no intrinsic worth beyond the hole between her legs.

i have a promise ring and mine stands for no sex before marriage and no dating while in high school and it was my idea to get it. A promise ring from the parents show that they trust that you will not break this promise… i think its a wonderfully awesome idea

i think that the idea of a purity ball is great because it recognises the strength it takes to push aside the temptations of sex. because our societys youth are more involved in sex now than ever its a great way for young girls to show how they embrase their religion and wait till marriage to give away something that is only worthy of someone who will love you and cherish you forever. the promise doesnt signify your a christian but it stand for not having sex before marrriage. i myself have a promise ring and mine stands for no sex before marriage and no dating while in high school and it was my idea to get it. A promise ring from the parents show that they trust that you will not break this promise… i think its a wonderfully awesome idea

Sarge: Last year, on July 3, I was driving home from the Great Dismal Swamp fire. Took me 14 hours to get from Suffolk, VA to WB. The traffic jam started around Fredericksburg and ended north of Harrisburg (I was stupid and took route 15 up past Gettysburg).

I was, indeed. We played before crowds of over a thousand, and a friend of mine had me go out on the cavalry event, hence my later discomfort. I also fell in with some friends for the Pickett’s Charge scenario. The main group, our band was in the “Petting Zoo” (living history)but it’s nice to go out in the field as well. You passed by our friend (((Billy))) and me, that close.
The weather was actually liveable for a change at the event. Funny, as hard as I work, as tired as I get, and as hot as it usually gets, my blood pressure always goes down to pretty much normal when I’m doing this sort of thing.

If you get to the Cedar Creek event this fall, drop by the “Petting Zoo” and say “Hidee”.

Our band always plays for the church service, and it is always interesting to hear what is said in the service and watch people’s reactions to it. Sometimes “primitive” discribes more than one aspect.

we were participating in the Gettysburg reenactment

The deacon and I drove through Gettysburg yesterday. I saw a sign about the reenactment and said, “I bet Sarge is there.”

Sarge: Never thought of that angle. Of course, all it takes is one of the ten deciding that popping out puppies by the dozen is the right thing to do and there’s still a net gain in the next generation. They all have to openminded or it’s like roaches.

Antistokes: I’ve used the term a couple of times when writing about AOSE.

Philly: You can tell, though, that it is not a fundie site: no mispellings, only two fonts, no bizarre graphics or nauseating colour combinations.

huh? .... This is something Dan Savage at The Stranger does every once and a while (names sex acts after right wing politicians, etc), sorry, I did not mean to take credit for it!

It’s one thing to have that on your site, but it’s something else entirely to actually go through the trouble of registering the domain name.
