VisionRootLouisiana, Arkansas, Virginia, Utah and Montana have all passed laws requiring pornography sites to verify the age of users. We need that too, here in West Virginia.
Pornography has negative effects on those addicted, affecting their future marriages and relationships with real women. It also creates a culture of sexual objectification of women, and promotes “rape culture”.
See this article in Politico.
Richard describes the disconnect between talking about societal breakdown and the cause of societal breakdown, which is the decline of two-parent families. With nearly 50% of all births in West Virginia (and elsewhere) coming outside of marriage, it is no wonder that schools are filled with out of control youth.
What is the solution?
A revolution of abstinence-centered education, looking forward to successful marriage as the goal.
The following letter appeared in the Spirit of Jefferson newspaper on June 21, 2023
I am writing about the new ordinance that prohibits performances for children that depict nudity or sexual conduct.
First, this is a common sense ordinance. Are the opponents of this ordinance saying that it is acceptable and good to depict nudity and sexual conduct for children?
I also want to discuss the June 14 column in the Spirit of Jefferson, “One man’s journey with Christian faith, politics and the LGBTQ+ community,” by Stewart Acuff quoting from John Mason extensively.
First, I am very sorry to hear about his sexual abuse as a child. I think more focus should be given on preventing sexual abuse of all types. Married families with a father and mother are the safest place for children. For instance, children living with a mother and her boyfriend are 11 times more likely to be sexually, physically, or emotionally abused than children living with their married biological parents.
Although about 2.5 percent of the male population is homosexual and almost all child abuse is by men, one third of all sexual abuse is against boys. That means the small percentage of the population that is homosexual men commits one-third of all child abuse involving boys.
Regarding “Jesus is a mystery”, the Bible makes clear in Genesis 1: 27 that God created us male and female. Also, trying to say that Matthew 19:12 promotes gender fluidity is a stretch, to say the least. Traditionally, this verse is taken to mean that most people should marry rather than burning with sexual desires as a single person.
I would also like to address the argument in the editorial, and also given by others testifying before the county commission that this law violates the spirit of the state motto of “All Mountaineers Are Free”.
No, it does not. Freedom requires responsibility. Just because we are free to concealed or open carry a firearm in West Virginal does not mean that we can shoot it any time we feel like it. Carrying a firearm requires utmost responsibility. Likewise, the use of our sexuality requires utmost responsibility. Just because humans are capable of public displays of sexual behavior in front of minors does not mean that it is acceptable to do so.
I would like to make one more point about those who have non-traditional sexual proclivities. The first legally recognized “non-binary” person in the United States, Jamie/James Shupe said “it’s not about gender identity; it’s about abnormal paraphilic sexual desire.” Paraphilic means having sexual desires that “are persistent and recurrent sexual interests, urges, fantasies, or behaviors of marked intensity involving objects, activities, or even situations that are atypical in nature.”
So, in Shupe’s case, identifying as transgender was a ruse for his paraphilic sexual desires.
In conclusion, the law championed by Commissioner Krouse is a good one. We should focus more on preventing sexual abuse of all kinds. Sexual displays in front of children can be seen as one type of abuse.
How can we solve the problem of youth being taken in by the transgender and homosexual agenda? We need to proactively teach our youth absolute sexual ethics.
Few know that the whole transgender movement was started by Dr. John Money of Johns Hopkins University. He claimed that his experiment on the Reimer twins was a success, but it was actually a complete failure. Furthermore, Money sexually abused the boys and thought that sex between adults and children is okay.
What is behind the Transgender movement? Why is it so odious, and what must we do to stop it?
This three part series will dive into these topics.
What do Sam Brinton, Barney Frank and Audrey Hale have in common?
They all have critical issues with sexual integrity.
Whether or not we embrace good sex, that is, sex within faithful marriage, or bad sex, that is sex outside of those boundaries, makes all the difference in the world.
Practical solution to the problem of family breakdown.
The Urban Life Training Program is an abstinence-centered education program. The program consists of three parts:
1. Classroom Relationship Intelligence Education
2. Peer Counseling
3. STAR (Students Teaching Abstinence and Responsibility) Leadership Clubs
Richard Urban overviews the program as a practical way to address the core issue of family breakdown and to help youth succeed.
God must come first for any solution to the world’s problems to happen. Furthermore, Richard discusses how the Unification Principle, revealed by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, presents a Biblical worldview with additional insight and understanding.
A core understanding is that The Human Fall involved a premature sexual relationship. This understanding helps us to understand the world’s problems, and specifically the rampant sexual confusion and corruption.
The Strengthening Families and Communities Forum is part of the Peaceful Families; Peaceful World workshop, sponsored by Visionroot.
With family breakdown and sexual confusion accelerating, causing harm to our children, what can be done?
