33. BTW...I am curious to know:
Edited on Sun Jun-20-04 07:00 PM by BeHereNow
Do you have children?
I do, and unlike many of the teenagers in America,
my daughter dresses modestly, is a virgin and
would be traumatized beyond recognition by such
treatment. As a "western" mom, I can not begin
to imagine the inconsolable grief the parents of these
teenagers must feel, perhaps because I live in a sexually twisted and
pornographic culture, where as they live in an extremely
modest and respectful one.
Hard to imagine how deeply devastating this is to them
even from a mother's view, in that our culture is so
very depraved, I don't really have a measuring stick
as to how injurious this is to a family in the ME, although I know
it from my own feelings of protectiveness of my own child, and
yes, despite her sexual developement, she is in so many ways,
a CHILD even though our culture expects otherwise.
Not so in the ME, so how can I begin to comprehend the
pain they must feel...because I too, have been desensitized
by our depraved society.
In short, my heart is breaking for them, because despite my limited and therefore
full comprehension of their mores, I know enough to
know this is a fate worse than death for them.
