Talk:True Love Waits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Trolls

WOW! This article really hits the spot. I have been searching everywhere looking for answers to what true love is and really only needed the reassurance that true love waits, and in more than one way! God is the only one who will know a persons true love, until that person meets their true love. Patience is the answer to everything. I know this yet don't want to follow my own advice.

Meanwhile, millions of people enjoy sex before marriage, continue to have successful marriages, and laugh heartily at the silly sky god worshippers.

"Laugh heartily at the silly sky god worshippers." True Love waits is an admirable organization and I happen to be a pledgee myself. And one more thing, there is no atheist at death. Jesus loves you and died for the very people that rejected Him. I hope you have a change of heart, Jesus will forgive you of your sins. God Bless

-yes that sky god thing is pretty silly

its a celebration of ignorancy more than anything, both cases, but since this one is actually founded, i find it to be more ignorant than the rest, historically of course, it makes no sense. Their mission of preventing teenage pregnancy and stds is something to look up to, yet, unrealistic in my opinnion.

[edit] Sources

This article really needs some citing of sources. I'll try and look some up when I have time, but I would suggest that some of the previous authors of this article write them in. Joey=Staggering234

[edit] Irrelevant information

The paragraph about how virginity pledges are not effective is more pertinent to the article on the pledges themselves rather than this article. I've removed it and placed it here.

"The effects of abstinence-based programms is under dispute. Scientific studies show that young adults who make an external commitment or pledge to maintain their virginity until marriage have similar rates of STDs as those who have not made an external commitment. [1] [2] Other studies show that the effects of virginity pledges typically include the delay of vaginal sexual intercourse by 12 to 18 months, but with decreased likelihood of condom use at the first encounter. [3] A 2005 Harvard study of virginity pledges showed that the pledges have little staying power among those who take them, with half the adolescents who signed the public promises giving up on their pledges within a year.[4]"
