    Morals have been flushed down the toilet, that is why! Young people these days are having sex in Elementary School! I don't know how half these parents in America were raised, but I was raised to wait until i fell in Love and got married.These kids don't have respect for anyone, Anything goes! Maybe a spank on the behind wasn't such a bad idea! I know i got my Butt Beat when I was bad. I am fine mentally, I didn't do the bad stuff i got spanked for again,that's for sure. I'm raising 4 kids right now ages 21,19,17 and 14. They are taught to respect adults. My oldest is a girl and she is still a virgin,going to College and I have a very open relationship with her because i knew all this crap was out there. My other 3 are Boy's, and My Husband has talked to all of them also about respect and how to treat a girl and We have tried to instill morals in all 4 of them. You just hope they make the right decisions when the time comes.None of them are dope heads or cut themselves. I think because we have been so open with them and taught them right from wrong. And all of them got spanked when needed. Not abused,a spanking so they remember next time they are thinking about doing something bad,there will be consequences. That is the problem of the youth of today. They tell their Parents " You Can't Hit me,I'll Turn You In". I see that more and more Social workers are siding with the Parents because these kids are so out of control. They Beat up their teachers. When did you ever hear of things like columbine 30-40 years ago? Spoiled Brats who have no inter action with other kids because they are in the house playing video games, on the computer,watching TV,hiding in their rooms! We were outside from morning until the street lights came on. Playing with other kids,learning how to get along with people.And learning to lose at a game and not go ballistic. It is all part of developing skills to get along with people in your life from when you are young to get ready for life's ups and downs. they can't handle anything, They all can't be ADD or AD-HD!!!!!!! Most of them are just normal kids and the teachers get them on drugs so they sit like Zombies.Why weren't all of us like that? We got our Butts paddled and you behaved,bottom line!

  • Religious values have become meaningless to the masses. Millions flock to praise a man who sang about fornication and children being born out of wedlock, as if it were "all right" and acceptable.

    People do not *see* that in sexual intercourse, a significant portion of one's life force detaches in the attempt to creat a new offspring, even when the attempt is unsuccessful. This lowers one's ability to perform the six essential spiritual feats:

    THE TEN TALENTS OF POWER.

    1. HEIGHTENED AWARENESS: Total Recall and Total Concentration.

    2. *SEEING:* ESP ability to perceive anything that exists or existed,

    and analyze its life energy composition- thus proving the difference

    between true visions (which have the full range of energy signatures,)

    and false visions (which contain only the signature of the being who created it,)

    analogous to detecting the pixellation of faked photos.

    3. ANGEL DEPLOYMENT: The Telekinetic ability to create an energy body, and act through it at remote distances.

    4. TELEPORTATION: The ability to dematerialize one's body to pure Life Energy, and to rematerialize it elsewhere in the current Universe.

    5. TRANSLATION: The ability to teleport into the "Higher Universes" (i.e. Heaven).

    6-10. TRANSFIGURATION: The simultaneous triggering of all these abilities with a "jump" of one's energy content from 50% to 100% in an instant. "Cosmic Awareness." "Everlasting Life."

    WHEN AN offspring is sucessfully conceived, a hole appears on the person's energy soul body, which further cripples them spiritually.

    *Seeing* is the most crucial of the spiritual abilities, because without it, you cannot know what you are doing, where you are headed, and why you should or should not go that way. Would a woman so willingly commit adultery and fornication, if she knew that the life energies of all the men she ever had sex with persist for up to seven years after her last sexual contact- ALL of them! That she can be read like a book by anyone who can *see?*

    JOHN 4:16-18.

    16. Jesus saith unto her,

    "Go, call thy husband, and come hither."

    17. The woman answered and said,

    "I have no husband."

    Jesus said unto her,

    "Thou hast well said,

    'I have no husband:'

    18. "For thou hast had five husbands;

    and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband:

    in that saidst thou truly."

    It's not really the term that has fallen into disfavor, but the act. People don't want to be chaste, because we currently live in a society (in the western world anyway) that's all about the individuality and freedom of a person. People believe that they should be able to do whatever they want and sexual pleasures are something that human beings greatly desire.

    Because chastity is a largely misogynistic idea, as it is typically applied to women, and we have moved beyond that.

    That's for the secular community, within the religious community, it is typically applied to both sexes, and it is still in good favor.
