"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Romans 12:2
While I wait on speaking to media relations again or directly with the owner of Shoprite, I had to do a little shopping today. I didn't bring my daughter with me today because I knew they didn't do anything as of yet. I took this with my phone. Notice that there's a kids' craft magazine right underneath Cosmopolitan. This is at eye level of children! To be continued....
As a proponent of free speech, I'm not trying to ban Cosmopolitan. Although I think the world would be a better place without Cosmopolitan, that's not my intention. My goal is to remove it and similar magazines from checkout counters & displays within a child's view. At the very least, cover the front covers. Cosmopolitan is exposing young children/teens to sex. If your child cannot read, they eventually will.
"From then on, the magazine continued to push the envelope with articles on provocative (and often taboo) topics like man-meeting vacations and extramarital affairs. Soon it had a huge — and fiercely loyal — readership."
"Cosmopolitan put female sexuality right out there on the front page, where everyone could see it at the grocery store," adds Janna L. Kim, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality at San Francisco State University."
"Over the years, the magazine has consistently given women permission to steer their own sexuality," says Joyce Brothers, PhD, renowned psychologist and syndicated columnist for Parade magazine. "It empowered them by giving them the confidence to take the lead in relationships and in bed."
August's cover has the word orgasm and mentions sex 3x for your children to see at the checkout counter.
While this site is geared towards exposing companies who use hyper-sexualized marketing to push their products & agenda, some people are using these sleazy marketing tactics in 'Church'. All I'm going to say is this is not in the Bible. Using sex to 'sell' the church is beyond sleazy. This 'church' & others are preaching sex instead of spreading the Gospel. Run...
