Secular News Discovers Purity Balls -
09-14-2007, 05:29 AM
Praise Jesus, I know a lot of little angels and their Daddies are getting ready to fly into colorado Springs for this years' Purity Ball. I hope you've all signed your Purity Pledges!
Quote:
"I, (daughter's name)'s father, choose before God to cover my daughter as her authority and protection in the areas of purity. I will be pure in my own life as a man, husband and father. I will be a man of integrity and accountability as I lead, guide and pray over my daughter and my family as the high priest in my home. This covering will be used by God to influence generations to come."
|
What is remarkable this year, and Praise Jesus for using the Holy Ghost again, is that the secular media seems to have "discovered" this instant Christian tradition. We can only pray and hope that this free publicity will help spread Purity Balls all over this Godly country of ours. THIS news story will make you smile, and no doubt bring back wonderful memories.

Fathers, daughters gather to pledge 'purity'
September 13, 2007
In a "counter-cultural" event, fathers and daughters from across the nation are gathering tomorrow for the annual Father-Daughter Purity Ball in Colorado Springs.
Created in 1998 by Colorado Springs parents Randy and Lisa Wilson, the event has birthed a "purity ball" movement across the nation that has attracted international media attention. Journalists from Britain, Canada, Italy, Finland and Norway will cover Friday's gathering at the Broadmoor Hotel.
"This event is about restoring fatherhood – one of the most critical issues facing our culture today," said Randy Wilson. "Research shows that the most important man in a daughter's life is her father."
The New York-based "Tyra Banks Show" will film the event and interview the Wilson family later this month for an upcoming program.
The Wilsons have been interviewed on the NBC "Today" show, ABC's "Good Morning America," Headline CNN's "Glenn Beck" show and the "Dr. Phil" show. Feature articles have appeared in Oprah Winfrey's O magazine, Glamour, Marie Claire, The Economist, USA Today and other publications.
The event Friday will include a formal dinner dance, ballet performance, live chamber music, a covenant signing ceremony for fathers, a procession of daughters laying white roses at the foot of a huge wooden cross and ballroom dancing until midnight.
"There is no place in our culture that celebrates the power and beauty of the father-daughter relationship," said Wilson. "We created an extravagant celebration to affirm a father's place of protection and authority and a daughter's incredible worth and dignity."
Wilson said when a father's heart is engaged with his daughter, "she is more likely to be strong, confident, and able to resist peer pressure."
"The research shows that the emotional and physical purity of the daughter rests on the shoulders of the father," he said.

Tyra Banks is a great promoter of purity.
Also, they dance until midnight. Isn't that a little late for 'purity'? I would have the bash end at 9:30 so the little girls will understand when it's time to stop partying.
Anyway, I think it's great and more fathers should do more to protect the purity of their children, even if it only means partying with them more often.

I'm guessing that there's not a lot of Farming people involved with this.
Or someone would have told them about that other meaning for the word "cover!"

You two just can't stand that some girls are willing to this the Lord's way, instead of parting and having sex with everyone they see.
Praise Jesus that there are still SOME good, wholesome girls in this country.

I don't get it. What's so wrong about a father pledging to cover his daughter?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Bless you brother for your holy mind. The perverted temptress of Satan was refering to cover her literally, as in the incest. But in other threads it was learned how a godly man taught his daughters to have sex, so to better please there husbands. So she, as a feminazi, would probably think its a bad thing.

Not a farmer,are you brother T.
In farming terms,a Ram will be said to "cover" a Ewe....so as to make more little sheep.
NOT the most fortunate choice of word by the "Females are the property of the male" brigade - but then,they're not noted for their intelligence.

Brother T is such a holy man that the sexual aspect of this phrase never entered his holy mind. I know that for a fornicating slut who probably does every one that this would be impossible, but there are people so full of the Holy Spirit that sex does not enter there mind at every thought.
Now go fornicate with the devil, we know you like that sort of thing.

Why, of Lord, WHY must liberals insist on wallowing in their sin at every opportunity?
Just a minute ago I was tearing off the "tamper-proof packaging" on a new bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce I'm putting on my garlic-bread Liberty Toast. (Wife is away).
So I'm thinking, you liberals have no complaints about there being hymens on food products and medicine containers, so why do you hate hymens being on girls?
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

Interesting concept - on one hand you claim women are "made in God's image" - yet on the other,you say we're just property.
Which is it?

God made MAN in His image. The harlot Eve was made out of one of Adam's ribs.
Why did God make females for us? Not for their intellectual abilities, that's for sure! You are here to scrub the floor, grill our steaks and procreate. Why is that so complicated for you?

You kidding? All she does is yappity-yap-yap-yap. Who taught them to talk anyway? The serpent, I'm guessing!

Okaaay,so women are made from Adam's rib.
Adam,who according to you was "made in Gods image."
Considering the poor quality of the material we're supposedly made from,that would explain why you complain about women so much.

And this is precisely why men have exactly one fewer ribs than women. It's just science.

Leave it you Lilith to find an opportunity to bring up your fixation with the matting habit of goats. If you seen Pastor Zeke's two daughters at the last Purity Ball you would have known sex was the last thing on their mind.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Current update:
Miley Cyrus was NOT picked to host this year's purity ball. Guess why?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.
