Condoms And The Preacher-man

Montgomery Ala.:"Controversial preacher says teenagers will stop having illicit sex no matter how strong the temptation if parents will make sure they never leave home without one of his trademarked -What Would Jesus Do?- Condoms stashed away in their purse or wallet. WWJD condoms are a divinely inspired idea and they work like a charm, says the Rev. Dr. Paul Morehead, whose short-wave radio broadcast, reaches an estimated 16 million listeners worldwide. Don't tell me about hormones. Don't talk to me about unbridled appetites of the flesh. When a young man and a young woman give in to Satan, when they strip down like animals in the wild and prepare themselves for a lusty round of heavy petting and full-blown sex, what better reminder for them to buck up than a WWJD condom with the image of our Lord and Savior right there on the package, and then, as a fail safe measure, also on the prophylactic itself? I've tested them with my own teenagers and hardly a weekend passes when one of them doesn't come back home with a WWJD condom completely unrolled as a badge of honor. At the very moment their temptation was strongest, they turned back from sin after seeing the boldly-lettered WWJD logo that, signifies, Stop! Think! What would Jesus do in this situation? Flabbergasted critics couldn't disagree more. They say putting Jesus Christ on condoms isn't just tacky, it's a sacrilege and they openly wonder if preacher Morehead hasn't lost his mind. If you give a child a condom, you're pretty much telling him that sex is ok as long as you use protection, fumes Marcia Kenderly, a born-again Christian with 4-teenage daughters. Rev. Morehead says his own children show him their WWJD condoms as proof that even though they came close to having sex, they didn't. But how can he be sure that instead of having sex with the condom, they didn't have sex without it? I'm a married adult and I wouldn't let my husband use one of those things. I feel like I'm committing a sin just thinking about it. Naysayers aside, Morehead has arranged for a manufacturer to produce 100,000 of the WWJD prophylactics that he plans to sell for $5 a pop over the Internet and through Christian bookstores nationwide. All the profits will go to a home I'm building for unwed mothers, says the preacher. A home that wouldn't be needed if those girls had been carrying a WWJD condom...I think this man, I'm sorry..BUT has a screw loose some where! Second, I doubt any good clean Christian book store would sell condoms. Let alone these with the words, WWJD. It just tackles my brain, what people will do to make a buck."
