Purity Rings
For the teenager of today, casual sex and promiscuity is every where you look. You cannot open up a magazine, surf the Internet, watch TV or listen to the radio with out sex and loose morals being glorified. However, there is a counter movement to this in Churches and Christian youth groups across the nation.
More teenagers and young adults are choosing to keep their virginity until marriage. There is also a movement in born again young adults who were previously sexually active, deciding to abstain from sex until they are married.
A symbol that is worn by many teens and college students to help them remain abstinent and to express their Faith is wearing purity rings (also called chastity rings). These rings first became popular in the 1990's and have sense taken off.
Typically the ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand is to remain there until marriage. It is also popular to wear the ring on a necklace.
These rings both symbolize the persons wish to remain abstinent, they also symbolize a Faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. The rings are an overt symbol of Christian lifestyle and the difficult decisions that can come with it.
The rings are popular with both boys and girls. The young men often wear rings with Crosses on them and the young women's rings will have smaller crosses or words such as purity or true love waits.
Purity or promise rings are often given out in small ceremonies among youth groups. They are also given as a symbol of commitment between two people that have both agreed to wait to have sex until they marry each other. This is one of the most common kinds of promise rings, they are a promise between two people who are engaged.
The chastity promise ring is for two people who are not yet engaged, but wish to commit celibacy and monogamy to each other and wish to remain pure until marriage.
The spiritual promise ring is a promise ring in which the wearer makes a pledge to a higher power greater than themselves. These rings often display a Christian symbol like a cross, dove, angel or praying hands.
Another form of promise rings is worn by those who wish to abstain from substance abuse. These rings are worn for those who wish to remain sober and are worn as a reminder of their sobriety from alcohol and drug abuse, food addiction, gambling or sexual addictions.
Promise rings are becoming more popular with teens and young adults. For what ever reason they decide to wear their rings, it seems to be a good thing as long as they have pure intentions and the decision to wear the ring is an outward statement in their belief in themselves and a higher power which can help get them through any adversary.

A nice story of a daughter and her purity ring
Daughter gave me back her purity ring
On a few occasions, as Francis and Suzie's daughters were growing up, they wanted get to know someone Francis and Suzie considered unsafe. As parents, they challenged their daughters about these individuals lack of character, and they were spared any unnecessary hurt. On Havilah's wedding day, she gave Francis back the purity ring he had given her when she was 13 years old. Francis then gave it to her husband and commissioned him to continue to love and protect her. For more visit rockspots.tv

I am not much aware about these before I visited your lens. Your lens have given very good knowledge and I am much attracted towards them. Posted April 28, 2008 |
I agree with Gatsby, that is a nice story. And at my school, two men are trying to kiss me, and one thing leads to another, so I thought it would be wise to get a Purity Ring so that they know, as well as otehrs, that I won't do ANYTHING, regardless of if its a kiss or whatever. So the men who want to kiss me will be more than aware that I am not going to kiss them, by help of the Ring,. and my voice, and if need be, my hand

Nice, complete lens. I didn't "save" myself and I have no regrets. Modern marriage is a construct which came into existence a dozen centuries after any of the books of the Bible. If anything, I am a Hedonist -- and a happily married, disease-free one, at that! (There is a Monkeybrain lens possibility here.) Posted March 14, 2008 |

I love the story of the high school girl who was being made fun of because she was a virgin. She told them she could be like them in five minutes but they could never be like her. 5* Posted February 17, 2008 |
