Why is prom considered evil by "Church of Christ" christians?

[J.D SilvernailParticipant 383]

Can someone please tell me why extremely conservative “church of christ” Christans believe that prom is evil? I never understood it and always thought it was insane. Where in the Christian Bible does it even talk about dancing being a sin? If it isnt in the Bible then where do these crazy conservative church of christ people get their so-called infinite wisdom from?

There’s no relationship there. Sex is to be embedded within a strong healthy marriage. Pornography damages that. That’s the authentic answer…

Anyways, what the real problem is that it threatens the control of sex. With the control of sex, women can control men, and use their church to whip them into shape and keep them earning money and doing chores. It’s a horrific abuse. Likely, he’s not getting nearly as much sex as she is. With this, the church gets their idolatry and shallow love of God. The swollen coffers doesn’t hurt much either.

I appreciate your comments. You gave me a good idea. All of us MGTOWs should protest orgnized religion because of their tyrany of men.

Um, no. “Organized Religion” isn’t inherently mysandric. An “Organized Religion” is some sort of organization surrounding an ontology that accepts some sort of metaphysics or supernatural.

I think you have an agenda here, bud.

Actually, I don’t have the verse (someone provide it), but each spouse is suppose to provide sex whenever the other one wants it.   No strings attached, as long as it is within the marriage.  The woman who holds this over her husband is actually committed a grave wrong according to the scriptures and Christianity, especially Catholicism.   Women are not meant nor allowed to have control over men in this regard or any other.

In regards to the prom, it is wrong.  My guess is that they do not want they children sexually active before marriage.  Prom might encourage this.  Hypocritically they say no sex but want to push the marriage off until the child is into their twenties.

Being married in one’s teens was actually quite common prior to modern time.  People often got married when they were old enough to be sexually active.

A lot of these protestants make stuff up on whim without respect to history/tradition/scripture/reason/etc.  You cannot hold all Christians accountable over one bizarre repressive sect. (Not saying you did.)

OK. I agree pretty much with all of what you said. You’re right that sex is to be given freely in marriage. Withholding it is wrong. Christianity has a bad reputation for being unhealthy with sexuality and much of it deserved. Christians tend to demonize sex too much. True Christian sexuality is passionate and salacious. It’s to be explored aggressively (within marriage). What goes on now is just sad.

It’s really a Victorian attitude. I think Queen Victoria has a serious problem with sex but she was also disturbed by the upper class women who wore as little clothing as possible for their tops. They were topless and it was fashion. She reacted.

The Puritans were actually much more healthier.

+1 Victorianism and Protestantism has cause a lot of sexually oppressive attitudes and sterotypes.  I am glad you brought that up, I thought I was the only one with that opinion.

No, @john Doe, a lot of Christians, pastors, Christian psychologists, and so on agree.

Watch the new version of “Footloose”. Dancing is banned from the town in that movie due to the preachings of a reverend that “dancing always leads to something else”. Of course, the reverend’s only son was at some big dancing party in the beginning of the movie, he and his friends got drunk there, tried to drive home in that condition, and got wiped out by a truck and all of them were killed. That led the reverend to ban music for all minors in that town. All dances in the town afterwards were strictly supervised, which is a major fun-killer.

And of course, prom night for many people is where they get a chick just so their dick could go into shooting out cum in overdrive. And many churches are aware of this, so while they preach that sex is to be avoided until marriage, it makes perfect sense about why they would think that prom is considered a great evil.

Me? I never went to my high school prom, or any school dance. Because I thought it was a f~~~ing waste of my time, that was why. Not on any spiritual, religious grounds of any kind. Renting a $150 tuxedo and a stretch limo, which costs another $150 at least, just to get a chick to put out on prom night or so that she could be slightly interested in me, it sounds like a waste of a good three hundred dollars that could’ve been put to better use instead of just trying to impress a bitch for five hours in a single evening.

Because dancing leads to babies.
