Re: “Porn-key” Kids

Crystal Renaud — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:01:34 -0000

I was "porn-key" kid for sure. That was the age before computers, internet, etc. but my mom had put passwords on our cable. It should have been a safe environment, but my older brother brought porn in the house. Old school magazines. And that porn soon became my babysitter on a daily basis. And my parents never knew. By the time the internet came along, they got us filtered internet, but as we know, filtering is only so good. I was still able to access porn on a regular basis.

But in this day and age where internet porn is so prevalent, it's even easier for kids to get entangled in a world they are not prepared to handle. With filtering and accountability software readily available, there's no reason why parents (or teachers/faculty at schools for that matter) can't better protect their kids from what's online.

That exact Cabbage Patch doll is sitting in my closet. And I totally had that boombox.

This sickens and saddens me to no end. I am sorry that you saw this and of course am even more sad for what this little baby girl has/is having to endure. I am praying now that your actions will have a result in finding the person responsible and save this baby girl from anymore harm. The child porn ring is so underground and secretive. I can't believe it is popping up on Facebook of all places. Lord come.

This is amazing! I was 12-13 in 1997. Loved the music/movies of the 90s. The Backstreet Boys were particularly important to me though.

I am sorry about the links this morning. There was a major issue at our hosting, but they've since been fixed. You might have to clear your caches to see the change.

Re: P.O.D. Powerful New Song

Crystal Renaud — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:45:01 -0000

If they didn't release a song with the f-word in it, no one would be talking about their new album at all. I am not perfect. There are times when I use profanity, but when it is used for shock value, I think it's tacky and attention-seeking. I've been seeing this more and more from Christians lately who are attempting to be "relevant." Well, how about trying to be edifying in a world that is anything but...?

Sweet Gitz, words written in this little box couldn't possibly express the amazing woman I have known you to be. Regardless of your own pain you were always willing to comfort me in mine and for that I will never fully be able to thank you. I am honored to have called you my friend on this side of Heaven, lived life with you, and am thankful that I will get to hug you on the other as we all will truly live there together one day. Well done, sister. I love you.

Re: Grown Men Stuck in An Extended Adolescence?

Crystal Renaud — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:59:43 -0000

This is very interesting.... and as a mid-twenty-something woman, I can see what she's talking about. I've often said, "yeah, I don't want to date a guy in his twenties—they're just not established or settled down enough yet." And of course that's a blanket generalization. I also know many, many men who are married and have kids at 25, 26, 27. But I think what I am seeing is the leftover men. The twenty-something men who didn't get married and have the kids... by choice. I have a guy friend who lives his life with the motto, "bachelor to the rapture." I am not sure it's woman's fault that men are this way... I think it has a lot to do with what another article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010... I've read recently that said, "The traditional cycle seems to have gone off course, as young people remain untethered to romantic partners or to permanent homes, going back to school for lack of better options, traveling, avoiding commitments, competing ferociously for unpaid internships or temporary (and often grueling) Teach for America jobs, forestalling the beginning of adult life."

I am not sure what's happening.... but I am not sure it's good and makes me a little fearful about the future. But then again.... at the same time..... I also see a lot of twenty-something people be incredibly ambitious and instead of sitting behind a desk in a job they hate—they are creating their own jobs or really going after their dreams and finding really great success. Which can speak loudly about the baby-boomer age instilling in their children to do what they love and to never settle—giving them what they didn't have.

Re: Feeling Left Out

Crystal Renaud — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 02:20:38 -0000

Wow, Linds. Seriously... could you get out of my head? I struggle with this at varying times. Especially the bit when you say you introduce friends to each other—and that their friendship seems to blossom more. It's like, "What the heck?! You were mine first." Seriously, it's like I am 12. For reals. Perhaps I'll grow out of it, but perhaps I won't . . . but I know there's a lesson in it. Surely.
