I'm sorry but what does having sex or not having sex have to do with Christianity?
I am all for educating your children and playing devil's advocate the way that Dave Matrix suggests.
To me, the creepy sex factor aside for the moment, what the "Purity Ball" seems to be doing is training the daughter for a life of servitude. First her sexuality will be "pledged" to her father and later her father will give that pledge to her husband.
Symbolic yes, but it still smacks of ownership.
What are these people teaching their children but how to own and control women... and make no mistake their sons, if they have them, are taking note of this as well.
