Contraceptive pills are really helpful. In the TV many Ads come regarding these pills. For last few months they are showing that even after sexual intercourse if you take a pill within a certain period of time you can avoid pregnancy easily. And there won't be any unwanted pregnancy to bother you. Wow! What a relief to the teenage girls and their parents.
The world has really progressed a lot. There are many teenager girls who get pregnant and then no where to go, how pitiful their conditions are at that particular moment. And these contraceptive pills come into their rescue. And they are saved after gulping just one. The Medical Science has helped the modern world so much, now even they can have any kind of pleasure without fear of pregnancy and any other things. Life has been very smooth these days.
You all must be thinking what happened to Chiradeep, what happens to his value system, but if you see the world around you, all are very happy because of these inventions. The problems of mankind are vanishing one by one because of these inventions. Now they can live happily ever after. This is the value system of todays world whether you accept it or not, doesn't matter.
If you have read, up to this and close the window then you will take a very wrong message. So lets continue reading it.
I am dead against when these pills are used outside a marriage. Even within marriage also, using contraceptive pills is a questionable for so many. We as married couple don't use it. But still then, uses of these pills within marriage are some how acceptable. But outside marriage? It is wrong, sinful, awful. It may rescue from unwanted pregnancy but it won't save you from the wrath of God almighty. One day you will have to pay the price for it.
Lastly, pregnancy survival tips is (not are), 1. Abstain, 2. Abstain & 3. Abstain from pre-marital sex. Very simple isn't it?
My young friends! Please do not follow after the deadly pleasures of this world today, just ABSTAIN.

Hmmmmm...I think I would like to see a little more of your reasoning behind your views. I am assuming you are basing your belief on biblical passages which is fine but you site none only threaten the wrath of God? If you are truly trying to reach people that have a different opinion then yours or haven't formed an opinion I think more supportive information would be helpful. If you only want to communicate with those who share you views though this would do the trick.
I really Appreciate your comment BOND. You're so right what you said. Actually I summerized the whole consequence in one 'Wrath of God'. Otherwise the adverse effects are many. I expect people like you and the members of SW can share those as 'add ons' with my article. Please feel free to give one adverse effect from your knowledge. Thanks & God bless.
Not only is pre-marital sex against religion, if unprotected, it is also very dangerous. And it is so sad to know that there are so many unwanted babies in the world--that in and of itself is a sin. There has been too much of a break with religion in many areas. Children aren't being taught the finer points of life that I learned in the old school.
Chradeep, great article, though I tend to agree more with Bond...James Bond. This is preaching to the choir. You may get lots of SW comments, and if that is what you are after, that's what you'll get. But if what you are after is to change the minds of those "young friends" who haven't formed an opinion yet or are in danger of making wrong choices, then an opinion article such as this is best when complete. If you want to be taken seriously, do not rely on other's "add ons" to pass on your message. It is your message. Own it! This may not be your favourite comment, but it comes from someone who cares and wants you to "Carry you Candle and go shine the world (beyond SW)!". I believe in you... :-)
You will comment like this and you think I wont love it. I loved your feedback. It really means a lot. Ok now I will work on that. I will make this as Part-I & write a Part-II of this particular article with the 'add ons' by myself after a good research.
Do you remember you are the number one person who inspired me by your own article in SW when I was just a reader only. Then I signed up.
Christine! you're a darling sister in Christ who really cares. Thanks for your comment. I will shine for God in my next article. Pray for me so that I can do a good research. Thanks again & God bless you.
Holy Pa! Chiradeep, I had no idea I was the one who inspired you to sign up. Now I feel guilty for not having been more supportive. I wrote a comment sometime back (I don't remember whether it was on one of your articles or as a repsonse to your comment on one of mine) offering some of the tips I use to build a readership base, and got the impression I had somehow overstepped my boundaries (because I was excited about your life’s story). So I backed off…:-) Next time I have a “tip” instead of a “comment”, I’ll send you an email instead. How’s that????? I am looking forward to part 2 of your article. Blessings.
PS: There is PLENTY of wisdom in Kacy's comment... :-)
Yeah! She is definitely wise. Common she is the leading scorer & you're the second. I am so fortunate & priviledged to have comments on my article of both these greats (KACY & CHRISTINE). Thanks Christine for concern your concern YAAR (Friend in Hindi).
I think we got a little mix up here. I wasn’t talking about the favourability ratings, I was talking about the MESSAGE and how to reach your “young friends”. Forget the GREAT ratings, Kacy is right on her observation about ... :-)
I did not say anything about ratings either. I just said that you two are great and rated high, thats all. But what messege you both wanted to give, that I understood perfectly. Thanks..
yup, cause this advise has worked SOOOOO WELL so far with peopel today! lets just keep saying this and maybe we can have the AIDS rate get to 3/5 insted just just 1/5 people!
I can attest to the fact that pre marital sex only leads to heart break and it may not come back to haunt you for many years, but sooner or later it will. I only wish that young people of today could be saved of that heartache and grief I experienced, but given my situation at the time I'm not so sure I would have listened to anyone then either. Thank God that God is in control and when we turn to Him he is there to love us to God health. Good article.
Hi Chiradeep - judging by the amount of unwanted pregnancies we see, I think another approach on the matter is needed - it may help to teach people what the meaning of the word "Abstain" means instead of "pre-marital sex" because something tells me as a another unwanted baby is born, is that the meaning of the word pre-marital sex is not swaying any thoughts over lust
God's standard never changes according to anybody's wishes or agreeing or disagreeing. Even when I commit a sin I go against God's standard. But I cannot change God's standard according to my wish. Neither I can say that, "God I don't agree with your standards."
Sorry! No offence, just trying to make you understand the truth.
Hi Chiradeep. I love your passion for God's truth and God's standard. They are given for our protection because he loves us. Good job, but I agree with many of the other comments - I am glad to see you have decided to expand on this. Give others another dimension and tender side of why God wants us to wait until marriage. I am looking foward to the read! God bless you as you continue to shine for the Almighty! Teresa
Hi sister! How are you? Did you get the fresh publication of CANDLES that I sent you through email?
And yes! I will surely humble enough to what others suggested me regarding the article. I will definitely expand the research and write-up. Thanks a lot for your concern.
I totally agree with you, Chiradeep..Like some ppl here are saying, if you don't blv in God's wrath and all that, at least think of the no. of unwanted babies that are born due to pre-marital sex.
Let me share a story with you. The business-superstar Steve Jobs was a child born to his mother before her marriage. So she left him in an orphanage. Jobs' parents, Paul and Clara Jobs adopted him frm there. Imagine what wd happen if they hadn't...
For the ones who are talking about the effectiveness of the 'adstinence' advice in controlling aids, I'd like to ask this: what effectiveness of everything else can you find any evidence for, today?
Thanks for the wonderful article, chiradeep...the one quality that makes your articles stand apart is the fact that you TRULY BELIEVE in whatever you write. That's evident from your articles. Keep up the good work! :)
Sulagna! the problem of today's world is they don't understand YES or NO. THey understand twisted things. They believe in unncessary reasoning.
In my life I have never done that. I was just obedient to the standards given to me. I don't have to reason when my God says this is the standard. And I beleive that when my good God says 'NO', His motive behind is to save me from some or other adverse effect. I accept it without reasoning but just trusting my lovely God. That has allowed me to be what I am today even if I am a conginital heart patient.
Thanks and God Bless you ....
Chiradeep, I apologize for taking so long to get here but I made it. I'm happy I did! You have my full attention and support. I look forward to Part-II. I agree with you wholeheartedly and have enjoyed reading the other comments.
The message we spread in our Relationship Education classes is:
Abstinence isn't about not having sex. It's about saving sex for
someone who is willing to give back to you by making a lifelong
commitment in marriage.
Abstinence
is the only sure way to protect your body, mind, and heart from the
various consequences of sexual activity. It is the safest, healthiest
lifestyle and one of the best ways to prepare for a healthy future
marriage.
Whether they are 13 or 31, atheist or devout Christian, it's our message.
Personally, I haven't chosen abstinence, I've chosen Christ. Once upon a time, I chose differently. I've grown in my relationship with Him. He and I are both pleased. *warm smile*
Thanks a lot Avis. Buddy you are just marvelous in your feedback. The way you defined ABSTINENCE is just fabulous. God bless you and may you be used our Saviour & Lord more widely & meningfully. Thanks again.
Candles, thank you for the warmth and care in your comments. I would love to take credit for the definition of abstinence used but cannot. That definition is the reason we chose this curriculum and did not reinvent the wheel by writing/creating our own program. I appreciate the encouragement. Our Savior has you in His care and loves that you are seeking after Him. We all should and many of us do.
Dear sis in Christ! Just tell me who can be a better person to comment on this article than you? You're a professional in this field. So your comments is far more acceptable & worthy. God bless you.
But you forgot to mention what complications these pills create in the metabolism. :) One my friends was on these pills for years and suddenly realised it wasn't doing good to her system, physically and mentally. These pills in fact aggravated her temper all the more. :) Nice information.
