Pastor says Roy Moore was seeking the 'purity of a young woman'

[mirraflake]

So men's needs are now creepy if there aren't any dateable women your age. Thank you for revealing yourselves.

Screw this board and its misandry. I'm out. If you can't understand the truth, to Hell with you all.

I waited until my mid 30's to marry (my choice) . There was always women available my age from when i was 20 on up  though in my 30's the pickins were more tough-lots of divorcees, women with kids out right wack jobs etc.

Not once in my early 30's did I think about going after HS girls or women less than 28 or so. My goal was always a spouse +/- 3 years difference in age. My wife is a year older than me and we both grabbed each other and never let go.

If you are still living in that little town you need to move out to the big city and you will have more choices.

I still say there was enough room for both of you on that floating door, Jack....

I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight…

LOL  Jack deserved his watery grave for not figuring that out himself.

We are signed up for a KISS Cruise October 2018. My favorite group since 1976.  Hopefully it won't be Titantic II

Alright, but it is academic in the context of the preacher's comments - He was simply responding to the accusation with the supposition that Moore was looking for a virgin bride - A comment quite in line with his old fashioned courting... That the preacher did not mention the state of Moore's virginity is quite beside the point, and I don't know why you feel slighted that it wasn't included in a straightforward answer to the allegation.

I am in utter agreement with your statement - My own path has shown me why a better way is required. But that does not answer why you are so adamant that this particular preacher did not, at that particular time, go off on a statement with that in regard.

And it is a question I have posed myself, in the positive. There are no records, nor any stories, nor even rumors of Moore's participation in any sort of actual sexual relationship. Judging by my own path, if he were a rowdy, those stories would be there. Not to mention if he were a pervert.

Just for the record, @roamer_1 ....... I don't feel "slighted" in the least.  This is not now, nor ever has been about me.  Nor is it about you or any of the other menfolk who are adamantly defending Moore here.

This is about bringing up an aspect of the debate that is being overlooked by those defending this pastor's unfortunate reference to the "purity" of teenagers in a discussion of a man over thirty in a position of power.

There is nothing "straightforward" in defending trolling for teenaged girls in malls and at recitals by saying he was just looking for "purity."

If an honest discussion is to be had about this expectation, then the glaring double standard of a Christian's not expecting purity from a man while demanding it of a woman, needed to be mentioned.

So I mentioned it.  ^-^

And, then there's the implication that grown women are "impure".

Is it not implied that if Christian females are to be "pure" that males are as well?  Who is it that the females would become unpure with?

Maybe I am just drawing from experience, but a 30 year old "pure" woman, especially in this day and age, is about as common as an 1804 dollar.

I'd like to see actual evidence that he was 'trolling for teenagers' at malls and recitals, and etc. Younger girls, fine, but there is nothing stating a preference for 'teenagers'. And in a small town, if your not into the bar scene, you'd be 'trolling' all women in those same places.

Not a "double standard",  rather the Natural Demarcation betwixt the sexes.

Thank God.

Women folk..... stirring it up.

Pretty much went to hell when they started typing.  Speaking of which I read A study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health (June 2016) found that adult women burn 20 calories during 15 minutes of sitting and typing. That's 1.33 calories per minute.   You'd think these delicate flowers would be to weak to comment.....

I do not mind them stirring the pot so much... but the country has gone to hell when we gave them the vote...... they cannot responsibly handle it.

From what I've seen there are plenty of people that aren't women that can't get it right when it comes to voting.

Have you talked to any 14, 15, 16 year olds lately?  Purity is so last century.

Thank you, Fred, I was going to point that out too.  People who live in glass houses, etc.

I try not to.  Last time, a 14-year-old girl was undressing me with her eyes, and I'm an old man.  These kids scare the crap outta me.

Women, by and large(that is the majority of them) vote for socialism/big government, is that not so?

I know.  It's sad.  They never get to be innocent.

As do men nowadays.  What's your point?
