In the interest of fairness, I would like to get the Christian members, on this board, perspective on this.

Google is your friend...

That tends to happen when you dig up an 8 month old board.


To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Teddy Roosevelt

just thought this was fitting for this subject:

quote:
New research suggests frequent masturbation may protect men against prostate cancer in later life.

The Australian study questioned more than 2000 men about their past sexual habits as part of a prostate cancer study.

It indicated men who ********ed more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer, reports the news.com website

"What we found was men who ********ed most in their twenties, thirties and forties had about a third less prostate cancer risk than men in the lowest category of ********ion," said Professor Graham Giles, head of cancer epidemiology at the Cancer Council Victoria.

"The men who were the high performers in terms of ********ing had a third less prostate cancer risk than men who were in the lowest category of ********ion."

He said one explanation for the apparent beneficial effects of self-pleasuring was that frequent ********ion prevented semen from building up in the ducts, where it could potentially become carcinogenic.

Prof Giles said previous reports had found an increased risk of prostate cancer among prisoners and Roman Catholic priests.

Prof Giles said the study may have implications for prostate cancer patients who grew up at a time when the practice was frowned upon.

"I really think that masturbation is a quite normal human activity, and if the habit can also be shown to be healthy and beneficial, why not?"

I find it a bit ridiculous, but it's technically legal. But think what they could be doing with that money...mission trips, food drives, marriage and family counseling, feeding the poor, maintenance for the church, hospital visits, books for the church library, costumes for the choir, holiday plays...all of these more productive, and dare I say more Christian (especially helping the less fortunate) than lurking in parking lots and attempting to intimidate people into coming to church/withdrawing their business from the porn industry. I can understand not wanting a sexually oriented business in your neighborhood, but this is going a bit far. Love, Jen.

What can I say?

Non-Christians do weird things too, so I don't think it is fair to put a "weird" title on all Christians because of a few aggressive evangelist.

I've passed out flairs and put up posters with church information and stuff. But never hunted people down in parking lots and got the tag numbers on film.

Their have been a few anti-porn/lust sermons, but nothing extreme. We talked about this issue a few times in youth group too, but again, nothing extreme.

invasion of privacy? nah, it's a public place but if worse comes to worse, the storeowners could get the pastor kicked out of his parking lot for not buying anything and loitering. church people from small towns are funny. most of them have no lives and think its up to them to change the world. arrogant *****.

Neither party is breaking laws as of right now, but if they continued to pester me, I would report them or something.
