If the OP is not a troll then she is someone apparently stubbornly stuck in sin, to the point of attacking anyone who points out the teaching of the Church. Committing one sin to prevent another not only doesn’t add up, it leads to more and more sin. The nuns taught me that sexual relations outside of marriage is adultery. There is a commandment against that. Troll or not, prayer is needed. :gopray:

My boyfriend and I love eachother and are soulmates. What happens or doesn’t happen between our sheets is none of your business.

But since you opened this can of worms, monogamous love-making between two individuals who are totally in love with eachother and are devoted to eachother is hardly something to condemn someone over because there are much bigger issues to be concerned about…

Let he without sin cast the first stone.

Irony: Condemning other people’s sexual sins while at the same defending one’s own sexual sins, all the while hiding behind the words of Christ Jesus.

Reminds me of the parable of The Pharisee and the Publican -

9 He then addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.
10 “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity–greedy, dishonest, adulterous–or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.’
13 But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
14 I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

I think MorgsMetalGirl might have forgotten that we are all sinners in need of forgiveness.

I am so fed up of having everything on television sexualized my boyfriend and I have decided against cable in our home. Take tonight as an example, I’m watching T.V. with the parents and suddenly there are half naked women on the screen urging us to “call now.” I shook this off and changed the channel…and what do I see? an organization designed to assist people in cheating on their spouses for a “small fee.” I once again change the channel and I gain interest in a particular program…only to realize it’s been laced with constant irrelavant and all-too-revealing sex scenes.

Am I just a prude? but I don’t think it’s much to ask…how can families even watch T.V. together anymore…

Well it depends on the situation with your boyfriend really and with what you call home. If your living with your boyfriend and indulging in pre-marital sex then I would say you are not a prude, but more of a hypocrite.

If this is not the case then you are still not being a prude. You are being selective and opting out of the culture of death and it is to be lauded. Well done. If more did this then the cable companies would have something to worry about and just maybe might start cleaning up their act.
 
**We have TheDishNetWork. We use mostly the family channels and we can set the menu with only the channels we want. Now that said I wish we could just pay for those stations we do use and want to invite into our home. We do have a second dish on the roof for “angelnetwork” but again even though the programming is not porn it is many times anti-Catholic in context.

As to being a prude no. It is hard to not be embarrassed with a lot of the things shown in the advertising between shows. We can turn off the shows as they are rated but the advertisements are not rated and thus not blockable.

But, IMO living in a “married” relationship without being married is something that the popular media seems to promote. So you might have bought into some of the hype. To be honest I would be more apt to think you wanted things in the world to change if you were not openly challenging the Church in Her teachings.

You’re right it is none of our business, but you invited us into this thread. If someone is doing something contrary to the church’s teachings, then it is up to us to inform you that what you are doing is contradictory to them. Be careful when you throw out the verse, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone” at us. That’s a cop out. If we all followed that teaching literally then everyone would be doing what they please because others can’t say anything because they also sin. I sin, you sin, priests sin, heck, I bet even the Pope sins.

Sorry, I have to be honest. If you want to change the world, start with your own home. Get rid of the cable if you wish, but you are only doing damage to your relationship with God. Christ is not the center of your relationship, *your *love is. I know you have justified it to yourself, but it goes directly against the teachings of Christ and His Chruch. It is easy to fall into the cultural trap as shown on tv, of relative morality. “If I think it’s ok, then it’s ok.” It isn’t always easy to do God’s Will. We all want to follow our own, but you have a chance to start off your future marriage with God’ grace, rather than starting it out breaking God’s Law. We don’t get to decide what is sin, only God can decide that and it has been the same for over 2.000yrs.

Please know that this is not a criticism of you, but that you need to be informed of this information. If you don’t know any better, it is not your fault, you are following the lies given to us by our culture, as you are beginning to notice in the media. Your disgust with the media is the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Guilt is looked at badly by our culture, but healty guilt is a gift from God. It is the beginning of reconcilliation with God. It is when we ignore this gift of guilt and try to justify our sins that we cause harm to ourselves. When we reconcile in the sacrement of confession and give up sins, the guilt goes away. If you find yourself denying bad feelings about the life you have chosen with your boyfriend, realize that it is the promptings of the Holy Spirit, trying to transform your soul.

This has happened to me in my life and it is that pruning of our branches that produces the sweetest fruits. We all sin, and it is denying our own wills in order to follow God’s Will that molds us into the spiritually mature people God created us to be.

Maybe the Holy Spirit is showing you how disorderd sex has become in our culture of death.

Every time you make love it is like a prayer, it is giving God the chance to work in your marriage to change the universe forever with the creation of a new soul. Sex outside of marriage is not part of God’s plan. I am not condemning you but trying to help you realize that you can change this, there is no reason to live without God’s grace in your relationship. Starting out a potential marriage in a state of mortal sin is like denying God in your life. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ, not as a salad bar where you can pick and choose what you like or don’t like. We have to follow all of God’s laws, not just a few that seem happy or comfortable to us.

I removed the planks from my eyes about birth control several years ago, now I hope I am helping you take the speck out of yours. We are all here to help each other.

God Bless
