Devote Your Virginity to Your Dad!

This is one of the most absurd things I have ever seen in my life. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? They must be from Pluto, no doubt about it. Have they EVER read a serious book in their lives? Have they traveled? Do they have any thought process aside from that which may involve sex? These people are nuts!

At purity dances, virgin belles ring

It was an evening for couples—girls in formal gowns, tiaras and curly updos, escorted by their dads, in tuxedos or dressy suits and ties.

They dined on roast beef and waltzed to classical music in a ballroom decorated with draped crosses and a mannequin in a white wedding gown. They listened as a guest speaker warned of the dangers of premarital sex. Then they stood at their tables, looked each other in the eye and vowed that they would remain pure.

He signed a pledge to be the protector of her purity and to live his own life with integrity. She gave her father a gold key to her heart, and asked him to hold on to it until her wedding day, when he would hand it over to her husband. They walked down the aisle with locked arms and she laid a white rose beside a cross, sealing her commitment.

"It's like I'm devoting my virginity to my dad, saying that I will stay pure because it is the Christian thing to do," said Lindsay Anne Schell, an 18-year-old freshman at Bradley University in Peoria. "The rose shows the world that you are devoting your purity to God and to your father."
