That strange child in the black gown with the tiara and braces is eleven?? She looks like a spinster of over 20 already, and is almost as tall as dad. If I were she I'd want that photo pulled off line. It's pretty creepy.
Yeah, it's a little wack. People trying to figure out what to do in this crazy and confused age.
But I thought it was quite touching for a father to pledge his own personal conduct, to not to be a selfish asshole.
Girls without decent fathers are far more prey to the pathologies of these times. You could look it up.
The Pledge
I, (DAUGHTER'S NAME)'S FATHER, CHOOSE BEFORE GOD TO COVER MY DAUGHTER AS HER AUTHORITY AND PROTECTION IN THE AREA OF PURITY. I WILL BE PURE IN MY OWN LIFE AS A MAN, HUSBAND AND FATHER. I WILL BE A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABLITY AS I LEAD, GUIDE AND PRAY OVER MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY AS THE HIGH PRIEST IN MY HOME. THIS COVERING WILL BE USED BY GOD TO INFLUENCE GENERATIONS TO COME.
Well, I guess I'm a little weirded out by this stuff about being "her authority and protector in the area of purity"...not to mention the bit about "...as the high priest in my home."
It's weird, sure. Clumsy, laughable. But we're all clumsy and laughable in our own way.
If it were Wiccan or Neo-Pagan, it would probably be used to show how unGodly America has become by members of evalgelical Right, and used to raise money for some of the Televagili$t$ who infect our airwaves these days.
Also, it has no Biblical or Christian precident, unless this is a new sacrament, so that they can compete with the Catholic Church :>)
