That is why I have such high standards... When Teens allow themselves to be alone with someone of the opposite gender...that only gives room for temptation and you never know..that preacher boy/Godly girl you always shake hands with or give high fives to...they maybe the one God has you to marry..I dont shake hands or even high five preacher boys because ..that might just be the one I'm to marry one day and on my wedding day...I REALLY want that to be the first time we EVER touch.. AT ALL. Setting high standards is the best way to truly abstain from ALL appearances of evil.

I cannot believe that there are people out there who actually believe this. There are some things, some mindsets, that just leave me speechless, and this is a case of that. The entire thread is jaw-dropping.
Wow, one day you'll grow up, get married, and thoroughly disappoint some poor man out there. But it's ok, it was obviously the devil that drove them too seek quality sex outside your marriage.
dumbass
Prude of the month. You don´t know what chastity means and you never will. And that is not high moral standards, that is neurosis. You can´t tell if you´re going to marry at all, in which circunstances and if these guys are ever going to be. If you can´t control your urges for shaking hands, you have a great problem.
That's pretty sad man, poor girl. At least I don't think like that. I mean hell, I want, AT LEAST, one test drive of my husband before I get married. >.> Oh, and high fives aren't teh evil. they're TEH AWESOME! oh well, you're the one that's gonna have a shitty life and miss out I guess. EDIT: OMG In the thread they also talk about how DDR is evil. Wow that's sad. Jesus Christ >.>
I imagine the two of them courting walking with her aged grandmother and our fair maiden falls and twists her ankle.
And he looks down at her and says, "Jeepers, Glory, that really looks painful. I'm going to pray and ask for God relieve your pain!"
If I EVER high-five a preacher boy, I will immediately fling myself off the nearest bridge after ODing on Oxycontin and lighting myself on fire.
Buddy, those high standards are kind of commendable, but you are going to be in for quite possibly the biggest shock of your life a month later when you both realize that you don't know what the hell you are doing.
That's why god made sluts.
AHAHA that thread is awesome!
from later in the thread:
Last night we had a pizza party at the pastor's house, and a lot of us gathered in the fixed-up basement to play Dance Dance Revolution on the pastor's big screen, flat panel TV. But somehow things starting getting really out of hand and really sexual. blink.gif I'm glad my youth pastor came downstairs to check on us teens when he did, because the direction it was heading in was starting to concern me a lot. But everyone acted like perfect Christians as soon as they saw the youth pastor! It's amazing how quickly the sight of the pastor can change everyone's behavor from R-rated to G-rated! tongue.gif Glad he got there before it turned into X-rated, which it was just starting to turn into before he showed up!
OMG In the thread they also talk about how DDR is evil.
Fuck! RAM is evil? How the hell do these guys use their PCs?
I also found this from the thread to be amusing:
When my boyfriend (at the time) and I first became an "item" we both agreed that we would not touch because of 1 Cor. 7:1...we thought we were strong enough...in fact we saw no problem in being alone together (vehicles, rooms, ect.) because we thought we were strong enough not to even be tempted...after a few months...and we began to get more emotionally involved, the temptations slowly started arising...we began to doubt 1 Cor. 7:1 and determined that we had taken it out of context and it was ok to hold hands...after that...it was a down hill spiral...holding hands got boring after a while so we went to hugging and kissing...and things continued to progress down ward. BECAUSE WE DID NOT ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCES OF EVIL...from the very beginning.
OMG! we held hands! we kissed! teh ebil!!1!
These poor teens are so misled, it's sad...

Seriously though if I was in that situation I would definitely sneak off and have sex in the pastors bed or something.
Good idea! :P
Wow....just wow. She wants the first time she ever touches her husband to be on their wedding day? High five's are out? Shaking hands is out? What the hell? FHG2005...you do know that if you put out your hand to shake his, and he slaps his dick in your palm, that's not generally the accepted form of the greeting...
What if you are walking with the guy, and he falls...you just gonna leave him there? What if he's choking and you're the only one who knows the Heimlich? You gonna let him die? Just pray that God appears and does it for you? What if you're the only one who knows CPR or artificial respiration? You just gonna let the guy die?
I think yoou have set yourself a standard that is impossible to live up to, and when you fail, you are are going to beat the hell out of yourself and "ruin" your wedding day because of your "weakness."
I agree with Matilde: That's not high standards, that's just neurosis. Touch is a necessary part of being human, and anyone who feels a compulsion to avoid it has a serious problem.

God, can you imagine a wedding night when you've never actually touched a man before?
I'd be so massively scared and nervous there would be absolutely no way I'd be able to enjoy myself, even if by some miracle my virgin hubby had any idea of what he was doing.
Also, if her husband actually is a virgin, he's either going to cum in about 2.5 seconds, or never come at all.
again, you have to remember that in these people's minds (and I use the term only in the anatomical sense), sex is not for enjoyment, only to make babies. Enjoying sex is considered evil and satanic.
**Newsflash**
There is nothing uniquely special about your sexual organs. Occassional use is recommended.
Also, if you don't think you can resist the temptation wrought by a handshake, get thee to a psychiatrist.
Somebody is really screwing these kid's heads up.
Well, that somebody (or one of these somebodies, at least) is well on his way for the title of Fundie of the Year 2006 (38.89% of the votes currently, with Carico in second position with 30.56%).
I once went to a wedding of people who had these standards. Their first kiss after the preacher declared them married, was the most chaste kiss I have ever seen. Really dull occasion. Everyone was looking for an excuse to get out of the reception. Even the fundies! They have two kids now. I guess they figured it out somehow. I wonder if they regret their extreme prudery. I don't have the nerve to ask.
I don't believe that these people actually behave as they claim. Sure, they might put on a good prudish show for the parents, pastor's or website moderator's benefit, but given half a chance thier sexual instincts that have evolved over millions of years would take over.
There are no words...
"I can't shake your hand, we might get married"... I mean WHAT THE FUCK?
Please, for your own sake, lighten up. Try recreational nudism. Anything to get this bizarre ass idea out of your skull.
Yeah, the kids over at T4C are really lame. There is another thread on that site where they talk about the same thing (about whether or not hugs or hand shakes with members of the opposite sex are acceptable) and most all of the people involved in the thread were talking about how when the Bible says it is good for a man to not a touch a woman, that means under any and all circumstances, not just with someone you're dating.
Someone asked something along the lines of what would happen if a young woman fell, if it would be a sin to extend your hand to help her up and if I recall correctly, someone said "well, why would a guy be alone with a girl in the first place in a situation where a sister in Christ couldn't help her up?" WTF?
Apparently hand shakes could possibly give the appearance of evil. Because we all know handshakes are oh so sexual!
Ok. I knew some fundies who waited until their wedding day to kiss. That, although weird, was kind of sweet to witness. This, however, is absolutely fucking stupid.
Studies have shown that the single best predictor of marital success is sexual compatibility. Two people who are raping each other in bed are far more likely to stay together when times get rough, as they always will at some point in any marriage.
Marrying someone without touching them is like buying a car from a total stranger on the Internet.
Besides, in order to avoid homosexuality, you should avoid touching people in general, maybe they can turn gay. And if parents and siblings are the possibility of incest.........please, tell me that this girl has some life.
Marrying someone without touching them is like buying a car from a total stranger on the Internet.
I agree with you to some point, John. But really, marrying someone without ever even touching them is much, much worse than buying a car from a stranger online. Cars can be repaired. Parts can be replaced. The ugly spots can be painted over. Sexual incompatibility can't be fixed by simply changing out his tiny winkie for a bigger model, or painting over her weird birthmarks.
Both buying a car sight unseen and marrying someone you've never touched are very stupid, but given the options, I'd buy a dozen cars online before I'd ever make the dumbass mistake of avoiding touching my husband before marriage. That loathing of physical touch and fear of anything sexual can't be fixed with a trip to a mechanic. Like I'd said earlier, this girl is a prime candidate for primary vaginsmus. When it comes time to lose her virginity, her body will close up and prevent her from doing it. And it'll be her own fault.
I was raised in an environment very close to the Teen-For-Christ mentality. I spend most of my scholastic life in Christian Schools or home school. I knew quite a few people like this girl. On one level, I admired her faith and overall goodness; mainly because I never really fit in with people like her. As my pastor used to say to my parents: "That boy's got the devil in him."
She once told a group of us at lunch something very close to what the girl in the post was expressing. She said she wanted to be pure and untouched for her husband, so much so that she wouldn't even shake hands with men.
My response to overhearing this was to run around the table and grab her arm just to screw around with her. She went nuts and had a complete mental breakdown. The pastors had to remove her and console her that she wasn't defiled and I was expelled from the school.
It was probably a good thing in retrospect. I wonder what became of her...
Let me see if I got that straight: She never touches any preacherboys, because she is more or less ready/willing to marry any one of them. I can't help feeling, that she is actually quite sluttish. I mean, where are her standards? There should be at least one or two preacherboys, which she knows she wouldn't marry in a million years and could safelys shake hands with, without ruining her wow, but apparantly, there isn't?

The really sad part is that she'll probably think God is closing her womb. She and her husband might not ever get past groping, especially considering that she probably thinks oral, anal, and mastrubation are all of the devil. If they're worried about handholding, people on the site definitely take the uber-fundie view of non-vanilla stuff.
"Hard-On for Preacher Boys" award?

When I was alone with the opposite sex as a teenager, we never fucked or made out. Mostly we watched bad movies and played Diablo. Apparently I have this bizarre mental disorder where I view women as people.
Or you just aren't attracted to them.

With the Pastor's daughter, no doubt...
anywho...
This girl is a complete IDIOT! What if she ends up in the ER, needs immediate treatment, and the doctor is MALE?
Your first marriage will be a joyless, passionless disaster. That's assuming you marry at all because, while there are guys who will respect your decision to remain a virgin, there are none who will be willing to wait until you're married to kiss you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
