Purity Ring
For thoes of you who don'k know, i'm a christian. I have bought a "purity ring" which will be presented to me in front of the church as a testimony that I will not have pre-marital sex. What do you think about this? Do you think that the whole "purity ring" idea is stupid? Please post your opinions cuz i would like to hear what you have to say. And yes, the ring I bought has multipul diamonds. Also, becasue I am wearing a ring so you think people will think I am gay?
Someone once asked me..."if you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?"
My answer..."nothing, as long as I got my two wheel toys, I'm perfectly content."

Re: Purity Ring
I had sex with a girl who had a true love waits card in her purse.
Why would that make you seem gay? Why would you wear a ring to make people who can't see you think somthing?

Re: Purity Ring
Yes I think it's stupid. You're allowing the church to dictate your actions.
Re: Purity Ring
Ditto. I mean why not have premarital sex? If you stay a virgin until you're like 30, you'll end up spending the rest of your life masturbating for fear of having sex (unless you have a ring against that too) or you'll marry for sex rather than for actual love. Sex gives you a chance to fall in love with someone and know who they are all around before you take the relationship to the next level. I for one, fail to see any reason why safe consensual premarital sex should be outlawed by the Church.Originally Posted by Datura

Re: Purity Ring
Well its seated in a tradition of male dominated bullshit tradition in which a woman was considered property to her husband and if you had sex with a girl who was not your wife you were defiling he so that she couldent be proper property to her husband. The laws in the old testiment are terribly shovanistic and as they are the basis for christianity and thus the basis for what the modern church sees as a "moral and correct" life style they are terribly outdated in todays society.

Re: Purity Ring
1. It's kind of dumb, but it also isn't. (I'm also a Chritian). I don't think the ring will remind you not to have sex. I think in the heat of the moment, your "not gonna give a damn about some stupid ring" That's what you'll probably say as you hastiliy take it off with all your other clothes. lol! I think the choice is more personal and a ring isn't going to do anything about it.
2. If it's presented in front of the church, there's gonna be a positive peer pressure that you'de better keep your promise or you'de look like a hypocrite and whatnot in front of the church if you had sex anyway.
3. The ring has diamonds? What ever happened to humility?
P.S I'm not bashing you or saying I have no faith in you. I believe you will be able to wait, same as I'm trying. I also know it's very hard to resist and will continue to get harder. And about the being gay thing. Not if it's maculine looking. I mean, the diamonds aren't real gawdy, are they? lol!

I'm pasting the response I made in the "duplicate" of this thread from Boys Puberty which I have since locked.

"Biblically, I could present arguments pro or con on this. For instance, in Matthew 6 Jesus teaches to keep our "fasting" a private matter between ourselves and the Lord...and He also argues against the public display of external signs of religion such as on the part of the Pharisees.
On the other hand, there are other teachings where the public proclamation of faith is encouraged.
I believe that if done out of true desire to follow the Lord (rather than a form of "bragging") - and if it helps you stick to your committment - it is ultimately a good thing. But remember...there is no power whatsoever in a piece of jewelry. The help you need to follow God's will, will come from God Himself, and you must "pray without ceasing" and have faith that God will provide it."

Re: Purity Ring
Purity rings are silly. However, waiting for sex is not. I think it's important you have sex with someone you love, not just a random girl who'll you break up with. But pruity rings? I mean come on...

"He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror that seized on his heart. She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite end of the ground. There was apparently nothing striking either in her dress or her attitude. But for Levin she was as easy to find in that crowd as a rose among nettles.... The place where she stood seemed to him a holy shrine, unapproachable, and there was one moment when he was almost retreating, so overwhelmed was he with terror.... He walked down, for a long while avoiding looking at her as at the sun, but seeing her, as one does the sun, without looking."

Re: Purity Ring
I've come to realize that people are trying to defy the Christian way of doing things, so they say, "I'm not waiting til I'm married..." I mean, what if it just so happens that you personally aren't ready until you get married?
