Late to the party.
Doesn't the FLDS do this really well? Except with no ball and extra creepy.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

My husband just found out this was a thing, and a thing a lot of my friends did in HS and JrHS. He thought it was creepy, he had a hard time believing me.
I wasn’t put through the whole shebang, and knew it was a bunch of crap. But if one thing about my religion fucked me up it was the whole attitude towards female sexuality.

religion should be about learning about God, not about your own sexuality. Sorry you went through that natachan. I think things like this purity ball are for families who don't feel they have enough control over their offspring to share the parents moral standpoints with their children, and it is creepy, mostly because it's taking something very private and personal to a public forum and group consensus. Either that or they just need a group to validate their personal moral beliefs because they can't stand on their own, house of cards and all that.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

It identifies virginity as a valuable commodity, thus useful in negotiation......while simultaneously decrying the actual use of that valuable commodity in any negotiation....and daddy is the one officiating.
Deliciously perverse. Even moreso when we realize, as we must, that these girls aren't actually holding an aspirin between their knees. It's just overtly sexual pageantry between father and daughter.

In your mind. Valuable to you and whoever you can convince of your position.

You're an idiot. Th entire purpose of a "purity ball" is to set out and note That Thing. I'm not the one who came up with them, nor will I participate in one. Personally...I think that virginity and virginity focus is a nuisance, of no value.
You're also boring...and you need to learn a new trick.

Tis your opinion. Valuable to you and whoever else you can convince that your opinion is valid.
If you view "virginity" as something other than what others view it, then what is it? It's an opinion. Who is your opinion valuable to? Obviously you, and, of course, anybody who finds your view credible.

Yeah..sure, Max. It's on account of me and my opinion that daddy and his little girl are getting dressed up for a fancy party to make maidenhead promises they'll break within the week, lol. They all consulted me beforehand.

Why would they need to consult you? What's wrong with going to a fancy party? What's wrong with making promises? How do you know they will break their promise(s)?
