Anti-gay Bigot Fundies to hold conference in Boston, Wednesday, March 5th with Scott Phelps

"Restoring the Dream"

Bringing Abstinence and Marriage to Our Youth

With everything that today's youths are receiving into their impressionable minds, two things that are shockingly absent are abstinence and marriage. Our culture has chosen to teach safe sex over no sex, while allowing marriage to become something couples should strive to avoid.

As men and women of faith concerned about our culture, we know the truth and decades of research confirm it: a man and a woman committed to lifelong marriage and sexual purity are better off in most every area of life - longevity, health, prosperity, success and happiness to just mention a few. And their children are more likely to succeed. If we could only get this truth into the hearts and minds of our children!


Well, you can - with the help of the "Restoring the Dream" Conference!

This one-day conference has been traveling the country-from Denver to Anaheim to Orlando-helping to equip parents, educators, youth pastors, counselors, and others with the tools to teach the young people in their circle of influence the benefits of abstinence and marriage. Now our sister organization, Massachusetts Family Institute, is sponsoring this conference and bringing it to Boston:


"Restoring the Dream" - Boston
Wednesday, March 5, 2007 - 8:30am-4pm
Holiday Inn Boston at Beacon Hill

Among the distinguished presenters are Maggie Gallagher, Glenn Stanton, Scott Phelps, and Rozario Slack. You can download biographies of each of these speakers by visiting the special "Restoring the Dream" section of MFI's website.

Parents of teenagers, educators, youth pastors, counselors, youth workers - all are encouraged to attend this seminar. We are asking you to please print the attached flyer (you can also download the flyer from the website) and, with your pastor's permission, post it at your church. Be sure to hand deliver a copy of it to the youth pastor at your church and encourage him or her to attend.

We all need the teaching tools that this conference provides to restore the concept of marriage and sexual purity in the hearts and minds of our children. Our future as a nation and, more importantly, their future as individuals depend on it.

'Sexual purity' sounds a lot like 'racial purity'

Barf indeed.

Thank you anti-gay fundies! 


You're welcome, asshat.  Are you, IanDB1, and your ilk so desparate for acceptance that an event as innocent as this one constitutes a threat?  I know decent and wonderful gay people, this thread is populated with nothing but scumbags so far.

The only thing they have in common is the word 'purity'.   They are about as close in meaning as 'clean kitchen' and 'Hell's Kitchen'.

Liberals promte bad habits with known and predictable bad outcomes.  At the same time the denegrade good habits that produce good outcomes.  Stage two of insanity?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Stories like this make me sad but are very common.  The ex-gay movement is making strides in helping people who find themselves in this situation but so few people even know it exists.  And asking someone at DU for help with same-sex attraction is like asking a heroin addict his recommendation for a rehab facility.

Nah. Why have self-control or discipline? Much easier to be labled a victim.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Abstinence and marriage during youth and adultery and divorce as adults
Posted by hulklogan on Wed Jan-30-08 03:26 PM

Thank you anti-gay fundies!

Maybe it's just me, but I read through the announcement a couple of times and didn't see ONE reference to gays. I'm thinking a gay people can practice abstinence just like everyone else. How can it possibly harm these idiot moonbats for parents to CHOOSE to attend an event they deem important for THEIR children. If the DUmmies want to promote premarital sex (because the only reason I can think of to discourage parents to attend is if you want teens to have sex) why don't they have their own conference? They can purchase condoms and sex toys for the kiddies, have seminars by drag queens, whatever their little hearts desire.

The saw the name Phelps and jumped to the conclusion that it was anti-gay.
