garyblack - Generation Killers response...

I have received a lot of feed-back, mostly positive, on the "Generation Killers" blogs... if you would like to add your thought, or have other "Killers" that would help; please let me know – I would love to post them.

More "killers" to come, but here are a few comments thus far:

The world needs to hear this so badly. I wish I had this standard set before me when I was growing up. Instead, I had this stupid idea that if it wasn't intercourse it wasn't sex. How rediculous the lies are that we believe.

Even into adulthood, I have struggled with not giving my heart away. I never learned how to protect myself. As soon as a guy gave me a little attention and made me feel wanted, I put my heart on a platter. Of course, it always came back chewed up and spit out.

I still struggle with what it looks like get to know somebody in a healthy way. I think I set myself up to avoid it out of fear of repeating past patterns.

I really wish somebody had taken the time to teach me how to guard my heart, before I made all those bad choices.

Preach on brother.

I have been involved w/ youth ministry for 17 years now...It was around 10 years ago that I came to this same conclusion and I have caught very little but grief for it ever since. I do not see ANY benifits of dating that cannot be had in a group setting.

I do however, see a myriad of negatives that ALWAYS plague even the most pure of relationships. The confusion about what the other person is thinking/feeling. The time spent trying to figure out what they are not saying. The mental and emotional energy that is wasted...

Thank you for boldly speaking the truth. It encourages me to continue doing the same.
