Ewwwwww… creepy as hell.
It is based out of Colorado Springs.
Of course…
Did you watch The Blessing video from that site?
Daddy’s Blessing - Video or you can buy it. I couldn’t find a review on IMDB.
I just read The Pledge The interesting thing to me is that nowere on the site does it mention the daughters making a commitment/pledge to stay virgins., Just the fathers protecting pledging to protect and safe keep the pussy.
This shit is all totally for the father. It is also sickening.
I can only hope that this will lead to an equal and opposite manifestation of impurity in others 
Seriously, it seems like America is becoming two separate countries nowadays.
But yeah, we-ird is right. When I become a father, I want to know as little as possibly about my daughter’s sex-life. That can be for my wife, I suppose. I’ll take the boys.
The biggest tragedy of all of this is that 88 percent of these girls don’t keep the promise. How is that supposed to make them feel? Like shit, I imagine. You’re fighting biology here, people. Battling with biology usually results in a loss. It’s so damn natural to want to have sex. No wonder hardly anybody manages to make it to marriage. I see this as parents, imposing strict, dogmatic rules on their daughters in order to avoid the awkward belief that some guy is going to be banging their little girl. I know it sucks, but the thing about being a parent is that they aren’t pets. You have to realize that at some point they will have to become adults. They’ll be ungrateful, and will do things you don’t want them to do. Drilling into their heads every day that they can’t do anything that would make you less than proud is morally wrong. And while indoctrinating them when they are young might actually work, it probably won’t. I guess there are a group of them (well 12 percent to be exact) that will make it to marriage, but guess what, do you think daddy will be happy then to realize that some dude is boning his daughter? Probably not.
I know, I know, kids grow up too fast, but Jesus H Christ. Give them some room to breathe.
Besides, it’s highly hypocritical. According to the link below, 90 percent of Americans had sex before marriage around age 25. There is an interesting PDF in the link as well. But I wonder what all the moms think of this. Imagining that they are like most people on the planet, they have had premarital sex.
Father daughter dances are cute. There is something absolutely darling about watching a seven year old girl dance with daddy.
However, father daughter dances are targeted to little girls who get to dress up and have a complete innocence about them. They aren’t interested in “boys” in any serious fashion.
These things are targeted to teenage girls - the ones who should be going to dances with their girlfriends and watching the teenage boys stand around at the other side of the room. The ones that should be going to the dance with the teenage boy. And replacing the teenage boy with dad at this stage is creepy. Young teenagers shouldn’t have sex - but they should be allowed to explore the ideas of dating, romance, having a “boyfriend.”
By the way, I suspect that - speaking as a parent here - there is a certain amount of realism in some of these parents.
“We don’t REALLY expect all our girls to wait until marriage (if they do, that would be a confirmation of their values). But by making them promise to wait at a relatively young and impressionable age, we may be able to postpone them becoming sexually active until they are through high school and even well into college.”
We aren’t conservative, we certainly aren’t making our kids take a purity pledge. But we’ve told our seven and eight year old “sex, alcohol and drugs can really mess with you - and are a bad mix until your body and mind grow to the point you can make adult decisions and understand what is going on. Being a teenager is emotional enough.”
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
:rolleyes: Why am I not surprized? (Went to High School there, blocks away from the Focus on the Family building.)
I know some people in the (small) Pagan community there. Maybe we can organize a Beltane Ball a la Chocolat
I was going to link to the article I read in Glamour about this (Would You Pledge Your Virginity to Your Father? | Glamour) but it looks like it’s the same piece that’s already been quoted.
Anyway–creepy! Double-standard, agree to most of the previous posters’ opinions.
While the Colorado Springs Blue Ball sounds fun, I would much rather attend a Blowjob Ball
My ultraconservative and religious parents gave me a “promise ring” when I was 12 or 13. I made a purity pledge in front of my youth group around the same age.
I remember agonizing over what exactly I could do and still remain “pure”. I had endless conversations with boyfriends. I dated both regular guys and other “pure” guys, but it’s funny how the conversations were essentially the same. We fooled around and I always felt tortured and guilty about it.
I had sex for the first time a few months after I graduated from HS. After that I was fine. No guilt, no shame, no nothing. I’ve had a fairly normal sex-life ever since. I’m neither promiscous nor frigid IMO.
I think the purity balls are very icky, and I’ve definitely known some girls who were seriously messed up from the conflicting parental/cultural and biological pressures, but in a way I’m kind of grateful too. My parents provided an external force to keep me from having sex at a time when I was too immature to handle the consequences. And looking back on several of my boyfriends, I’m even more grateful 
I’d be more worried about what your grandfather had to say on the issue. 
“Mmm… kinda thick, smells like asparagus. Anybody want some?”
Father-daughter dances are just fine when they are about spending time with your daughter. I remember going to one or two of those with my dad when I was 7 or 8 and it was fun. If you had asked me to do the same thing at 11 or 12 I would have DIED of mortification because parents are so embarrassing once you get to that age. Going to one of those dances and talking to my dad about sex probably would have made me pack my bags to run away from home. I remember my sex talk with my parents being “Sex is dangerous. It is best if you don’t have sex until you are married. Should you decide you don’t want to wait there are many ways to prevent diseases and babies so there is no excuse to come home with either. We will help you get any kind of protection you need but be aware the only way to be completely safe is to avoid sex completely until you get married.” It was never addressed in a public place and it was never approached as something that I was doing for them in any way. I’m glad my parents were so normal about it and I didn’t grow up in a household that made sex out to be something freakish or evil.
They could save a lot of money on gowns and so on if they just taught the boys and girls about mouth trolls and pussy trolls. Not that it did Elias much good.
Heh - “the only way to be completely safe is to avoid sex completely until you get married.” And then hope that your husband has never had sex either, I guess, and hope that your husband never cheats on you and brings home something nasty. And then never get divorced and never re-marry, then hope your second, 45-year-old husband has never had sex. I have a problem with sloppy thinking - the only way to be completely safe is to NEVER have sex, ever. In the real world, the discussion is a lot more complicated than that.
(Don’t mean to pick on you, pbbth - your parents just gave me a good example to use.)
Which is why it’s so stupid. Girls who take the pledge
If you lie to your children about sex, what you’re mainly teaching them to do is lie about sex.
Oh gods, here come the boner jokes 
Hmmm, maybe there is a positive side to all of this!
CMC fnord!
Khryst is the reason for the season?
Keep Khryst in Khrystmas?
I’m going to respectfully disagree here, Auntbeast. My daughter and I are thick as thieves. She’s 15 and change now. I knew when she was starting to mature. Since she was a toddler, she’d hop into my lap to say goodnight. Of course, as a baby she’d fall asleep there. Now she’s falling out of my lap but most nights if I’m home, she’ll hop on, talk to me for a few minutes alone and stroll off to bed. I remember when she sat down about 4 years ago and said, " god, my booblets hurt". She was just growing buds I guess, and I told her I had no idea what that was about, but I was sorry she was hurting as a result of puberty. ( nothing wrong, just normal pains apparently ). If she cannot speak openly to me or wife, then who?
I found out from her Mom the day she got her first period ( which was helpful, ending a period of utter insanity that lasted the previous 14 months… :eek: ), and so on. I’m not freaked out that she will become a sexual being- WHEN she is ready and mature enough emotionally, WITH a person of her choosing. I wouldn’t just rather die, because that reinforces a ton of negative image issues. I’m…what? Ashamed that my daughter one day will have sex? Humiliated that she has a period? Angered that some other man will be intimate with her? Gosh, any father who has those feelings should look hard within his heart to see why he feels he has any right to proprietary feelings about his daughter’s body.
I’m be more disturbed by men who are jealous of their daughter’s boyfriends than I am of men who are not.
She’s a young woman who is going to, all things being equal and healthy, figure out what she wants, and how she feels about herself and will proceed with intimate relationships accordingly. I don’t need to know when she has done these things, although I won’t be freaked or angry if she shares things with me. Gory details? Ahh, well. That’s okay. I know what sex is. We all kinda do it the same way.
My interest is in her health emotionally and her self-image. My job as her father is to have her know that she can ask me anything and I will give her my real response- including questions she wants to ask that she cannot look me in the eye while asking. At least she has enough trust and safety in her relationship with me to ask things.
-shrug- Different strokes. I wasn’t trying to attack your hubby, I hope you know that, ok? I am just saying that perhaps there are many different ways to handle that relationship.
Cartooniverse
Cartooniverse, I’m calling you out. How dare you be rational and grown-up and shit like that?
Speaking as merely a father-figure to many…thank you. Your daughter will be one less student I have to listen to and worry about.
