Today is not like just ten years ago and much different than 20 years ago. When I went to elementary school, the principal had a paddle in his office and there were very few disobedient children. If there were any, they would get it from the principal. We didn't hear about children being molested, although I am sure it was happening but pornography wasn't at a click of a mouse then. It was difficult to get. Yes, there has always been evil people, but you would have to be blind to see that culture is getting worse.
When I sent my children to the public elementary school, they sang Christian songs at Christmas and they were learning the fundamentals of math, reading, science, etc. They were not taught that children could have two mothers. However, when they were entering junior high, I knew I didn't want them in the junior high since pornography was starting to become more popular. Everyone had computers by this time so it was easy to access. I had heard that most boys were introduced to porn in junior high, so I wanted to protect them from this garbage.
Now, almost everyone has a smart phone and they can get porn at a click of the finger. Porn is no longer considered okay by the professionals. They know its destruction. I will never forget reading comments from men who weren't even believers unable to have intimacy with a normal woman anymore. They were furious with the lies they were told about porn. I hate porn and what it is doing to our country. Way too often women are telling me that their husbands watch it and think nothing of it; not knowing they are giving Satan a strong foothold into their lives.
Children are being sexually abused at higher and higher rates due to the insidiousness of porn. It corrupts the mind, then the man. There are more men going after children now. How are parents supposed to respond to this atrocity? PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN! Make sure they know that no one should touch them in their privates from a very young age. I worry about parents sending their children to any public schools now. Read this frightening story by "Tommy" who was sexually abused by his teacher/preacher. {Warning: It's very difficult to read.}
Our culture is no longer safe for children. What is right is wrong and what is wrong is right. God told women to be keepers at home so the Word of God will not be blasphemed and I believe the main reason for this is that God wants children home full-time with their mothers; under their mother's watchful eye and protection. Read to them and teach them math. There are many wonderful programs on the computer you can use for them to learn without them being able to access and roam the Internet.
Be as wise as serpents, women, in regards to your children's safety. You know being a keeper at home is a theme of mine but the Lord commanded I teach it to you, so I will continue to try and reason with whoever will listen. Don't allow sexual predators to steal your children's childhood from them.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8

You really should check out perverted-justice.com. They've assisted in over 600+ arrests of men attempting to groom and molest what they think are young teens online. They do incredible work and have some brilliant advice, I'm especially fond of the opinion pieces.

Something else I really believe needs to be mentioned is please, everybody, don't assume your children are safe at church! I know that they *should* be safe there, and I think they are probably safer there than at many other places, but please, please don't leave your children with anyone you don't fully trust, even at church. Sexual predators can even infiltrate churches. I know, because I have experienced it. A church-going man does not necessarily mean good, safe man. The devil reaches far and wide.

I recently allowed myself to finally connect the dots between what that boy did to me, and how I viewed sex later on. Usually when a child or teen is raped or molested, they either become promiscuous or become frigid (this is what happened to me. People were calling me a cold-hearted b*tch behind my back in high school.) I steered clear of most guys and shot them down as quickly as I could as soon as they showed interest, then I would watch with envy as my friends dated and had relationships, sometimes with boys I was infatuated with but could not bring myself to approach.
Then a couple of years ago, after I found that piece of paper, I finally allowed myself to become bold enough to return the affections of a man I had admired from afar. It quickly degenerated into a sexual fling (though no actual sex happened as it was long distance). I thought I could be there for him while he got over his ex-fiance, the only woman he had ever been with. But it turned out that he was using me as a hold over until he found a suitable replacement for her.
It became an on again, off again thing for a while as I wrestled with my feelings. I became depressed, was literally pulling my hair out, lost my appetite, and was completely obsessed with him. He would pay me a lot of attention when there was no girl he was eyeing, then dropped out of sight when he found one. He also admitted he was addicted to porn and considered himself to be messed up, yet told me I should think nothing of our little fling and move on.
Now I'm with someone who has treated me like a lady from the moment he met me. Even when I try to do some of the same things I did with the previous man, my boyfriend didn't take to it, and I quickly became embarrassed. Yet he hasn't rejected me because of it. He understood what I had gone through (and was witness to a huge fight with the other guy). I'm not used to this sort of non-judgemental attitude. Usually everyone would have something say about my love life, or lack thereof, including many family members.
We are now thinking of marriage, and I worry about how my recent experience will affect it. I don't think of the other guy as near as much as I used to, and even though I had reconciled with him, I still feel my stomach churn at the thought of talking to him. He has his own battles to fight, and I felt that making amends was the the best way for the both of use to move on.
He has decided to drop out of the dating scene, having let his mourning over his almost marriage to whom he considered the love of his life run its course, and is finally focusing on just himself. He wasn't a predator, but porn had a severe affect on how he approached relationships. I have a feeling that it had a huge hand in his ex-fiance's decision to look elsewhere. The whole affair brought out a side of me I thought I had buried, and I'm in my thirties!

She helped me go to the head leaders. Guess what, I was pulled into forgive him right than and there. I told him to please not to continue this with anyone else. I was to leave in a couple of weeks, because my term was soon up. It was kept a secret and they didn't have him leave till several months later when his term was over. To this day, my parents never knew. I have told several close to me and my husband. I also have used the situation to tell my children. They couldn't hardly believe it. My friend who help me, said you would be shocked what goes on out in the mission field. Granted this was over 25 years ago.
In the last recent years, my husband figured out somethings with me that came to light. Not really dwelling on it, it has actually something that I don't trust men in leadership.
The story was heartbreaking and I plan for my children to read it and discuss it. Our sons have gone on mission trips. Our daughter will probably be more informed or else we may just be picky where or what she serves in.
Thanks for sharing and continue to address these issues. It helps to learn more about this and here stories for us victims out there.
