Virginity without character and Christian (neighborly) love is nothing.ģ) Purity balls are man-ian, not Christ-ian: He wants her to live in love towards Him and her neighbors whether she marry or not, whether her marriage is happy or not. God wants her to do right on all terrains of life, not just the sexual, out of love for Him and other people.
#Purity ball free#
God himself did not make us robots, but gave us free will. Character could only be developed in a world of free will, where girls and boys are taught what is right, and why it is right. Or keeping her at home, schooling her at home, and not leaving her out of your sight, which is a more publically acceptable equivalent.īut this does not create a woman with values, who can teach her children values, who can be a strong support with, and for, her man, who could be trusted. It could be done by the simple act of locking her in a tower. It is relatively easy to keep a girl a virgin until adulthood. For that reason, purity ball organizers cannot tell girls to live out their God-given gifts instead of focusing on men.Ģ) Purity balls do not focus on character: Their “ God-given role,” say these groups, is housekeeping, child-raising, and obeying a husband. Sadly, in the patriarchal mindset of some purity ball proponents, women only exist for men. If, instead, you showed the girl that her value does not lie in what men think of her, but in a God that designed her in His image, with gifts and talents to use, she could focus on developing everything that God wants her to be.
The emphasis here exactly confims all the beliefs that cause girls to get sexually active. But the reason you shouldn’t give it is so you can give it (to the man you marry). Your hymen is one of the most important things you can give a man,if not the most important. Your worth lies in how men perceive you, and for now, ask dad what he will perceive as good, and no other guys. The message of purity balls is: You will be appreciated for your outward appearance, but for now, enjoy these compliments only from daddy and no other males. And then, so say the proponents, the solution is to get another man – her daddy – to affirm her worth and beauty, so that she would not try to get it from a boyfriend. The idea behind purity balls is that a girl’s need for a man to affirm her worth and beauty, drives girls to sleeping with boyfriends. Someone like me should probably be the heartiest endorser of purity balls, right?ġ) Purity balls worsen what they try to solve: I find it wrong in God’s eyes to sleep with a man who is not my spouse. Just to make sure you understand me right, I will tell more of myself than I usually find necessary. – Wording of the pledge signed at purity balls.
