They are loyal to each other first, in many cases. If you could get them to talk candidly, it would be interesting to see their response to this post. One young woman, who was brought up in a strict apostolic church, once told me that probably not more than three girls in her youth group would come to marriage a virgin. She said as long as they didn’t cut their hair, and wore skirts and dresses, they flew “under the radar screen” of the church leadership. <BR/><BR/>I once asked a man whose girlfriend had become pregnant (both were in an apostolic church) how this had happened when he had claimed to the pastor that he was keeping “their relationship pure.” His answer was, “I lied.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-24528101662504632302009-01-30T05:19:00.000-08:002009-01-30T05:19:00.000-08:00Hate to say this, but this is HUGE.

I am directly involved in the arrest and search portions of this department. Probable cause searches many times warrant a search of the cell-phone contents (i.e., gang conditions, drug sales, theft, etc), but most of the time the minor's consent to having it looked at anyway.<BR/><BR/>If I told you what I see--nearly every time--you'd be amazed--and disgusted.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it'd be easy to dismiss this as the hijinks of "at-risk" youth and keep it in that bubble.<BR/><BR/>That's also what we technically call "a mistake."<BR/><BR/>Technology isn't sin, but the days where one had to work at their sin, either by serruptitiously patronizing an adult bookstore in their town in the dead of night, or looking at their uncle's PlayBoy magazines when he's not home--are over.<BR/><BR/>Hormones are the same.
