Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Nutwatch! I’m your host, QueenofSwords, and today, we’re taking a trip back in time to see a Little Nut on the Prairie. Before I start, I’d like to say that if people want to live in a strictly patriarchal society where sex is taboo, that’s their choice. However, I draw the line at such a society being glorified while the alternatives are derided, and I don’t see why the modern-day Puritans would want the rest of us to join them on their cross. They certainly start out early, though, since this example of their handiwork is put together by two teenage girls : it’s the Christian Cosmopolitan or the Offredbook, because this week’s Nutwatch gets in the way of
The very first issue of the magazine – there are seven in total – made their purposes and publication dates, or lack thereof, very clear.
We are to strive to be perfect here on earth, even though we know we will never attain that complete perfection until we leave our earthly bodies…
If it wasn’t for the fact that babies came from earthly bodies, I daresay those detriments to absolute perfection might very well be summarily discarded.
Christians! - Servants of our Lord Jesus Christ! For this reason we wish for this magazine to be a reflection of how we as Christian young people should be living our lives on earth for him, and for Him only!!!
And that makes us excited! So vewy, vewy hyper!!! I imagine that the staff of this magazine talk in voices like those of Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Our goal is to publish a new issue of “YWSH” magazine every two months. However… the Lord has often overruled in the past by allowing obstacles to detain the formatting and printing process. As a result, we publish only as the Lord leads in His providence, even though our goal remains the same. =)
Wouldn’t the goal of True Christians be to publish a magazine only according to the wishes of the Lord, even if that meant the only subscribers would be family members? Of course, since these people frown upon birth control, that would still amount to thousands of copies, so why bother working against the Lord?
So... if the issues are not always sent out on time, please bear with us and understand why.
In other words, no refunds.
We will do the best we can, but we must not allow our family and prayer lives to suffer at the magazine’s expense, or else Satan will be effective in his attacks against our family... So please pray for us. Please, please pray for us!!!
I pray that you find some way to cut down on your overuse of exclamation marks; it comes off as slightly hysterical.
Spiritual stories, poems, recipes, herb articles
Herb articles? How about “101 Uses for Hemp”?
testimonies, crafts (or inexpensive gift ideas), pen-pal requests, cute things that your little siblings said or did,
or passed from either orifice.
lessons that you have learned, sewing, canning, and gardening tips…
Please send in book reports on Christian books you’ve read. - But don’t only write about the desirable books. We Christian girls also need to be warned about the undesirable books as well!!!
I’d warn them about the bible, but I think it’s too late for that.
We inexperienced teenagers need guidance from those older and wiser women who have already learned much from their own experiences!...We girls would appreciate it so much!!!
With such a heartfelt cry for help, the Young Women Overusing Exclamation Marks collected a great many interesting articles for later issues of their magazine, one of which was written by A Sister in Christ. You will understand why this unfortunate woman chooses not to reveal her true identity when you see that her shocking, shameful story focuses on
I learned the hard way! - Dating brings only temptation, guilt and sorrow!
No more would I be slave to the evils of the flesh! I cried “Goodbye, cruel world” and entered the nunnery! But, dear reader, though I knew it not, my perils had only just begun!
Nobody told me how important it was to guard my heart and mind and focus my attention on serving the Lord until the time came for me to “release my emotions” in a godly way towards the one man who was to be my husband someday.
I get the impression that emotions are like prisoners in the Bastille. Penned up under heavy guard for years, they are finally set free, whereupon they stagger out, decrepit and terrified, blinking like owls in the sunshine. It’s so romantic.
I got into trouble just by being a “friend” to several guys who needed a friend.
Next time, avoid motorcycle gangs.
I always felt it was the Christian thing to do to be nice to everyone and to help the “underdog.” Little did I realize
that this was something everyone did, not just Christians! Oh, how used and dirty I felt.
how quickly a “friendship” could turn into a romance, especially on the part of the one who really needed a friend.
And romance, like friendship, is something that should never flourish between people of the opposite sex. Or even the same one, now that I think about it.
This can happen too easily just in casual conversation at church or when families get together… Because of my experience, I think it’s best to never engage in extended conversations with anyone of the opposite sex, and especially never alone.
Yes, we all know that Jesus never spoke to a strange woman or, God forbid, let one of them touch him.
The devil just used this to destroy me emotionally. Years after I finally broke up, scars were still there - emotional scars - and anxieties.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Sister Humpty together again. Thank goodness the guys never kissed her or anything; she would probably have gone insane from the terror. All this Satanic sexuality can be avoided, of course, if you only follow

The good doctor is one of those creatures known as ‘males’, and therefore he tells it like it is.

I’ve seen some young people who were dating… their relationship looked like a joke… I’ve seen some young men and women who were engaged, and I thought, “This can’t be happening; this is a joke.” But it wasn’t a joke. I’ve witnessed some weddings… “If this weren’t a wedding, it would be a joke!”
“And I would be Bozo the Clown. Look at me, everyone, I just made a balloon crucifix!”
Could it be that much of the blame for many of these problems should be laid at the feet of an unscriptural, 20th Century, American phenomenon called DATING?
It’s bad enough when you use carbon-14, but potassium-argon is just evil.
According to one encyclopedia article I read, “Dating came into prominence in this century on the heels of the women’s rights movements, the growth of cities, [that is, city life versus country life], the decline of strong parental authority, the advent of the automobile, and the less modest clothing of young ladies.” Isn’t it interesting how the historian who wrote that article viewed the origin of dating?
We never learn the name or credentials of the historian who wrote the article, the title of the article, the date of publication, or the title of the encyclopedia. But aside from all those little piddling details, yes, it’s very interesting! Why, if we were all Amish, there would be no dating. Is it too much to ask that people sacrifice rights, cars, cities, independence and clothing, if dating can be stopped?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH DATING?
1- It either deletes or dilutes parental involvement. I could probably even say that dating deletes or dilutes parental authority!
One thing’s for sure, it seems to delude Dr. Davis. Or perhaps he was like that all along, poor man.
2- Dating exposes young people to some terrible dangers… I mean very simply that it is dangerous for two young people to be alone together.
It’s much better if an older person, like Dr. Davis, is alone with a young person. Now that’s only dangerous if the government gets involved - lousy nonchristian government with their women’s rights and cities and stuff.
You will never grow spiritually to the place that you can trust the flesh. I’ve had people say, “Bro. Davis, you mean you don’t trust your daughters?” Oh, but I do trust my daughters… Do I trust my daughters’ flesh? No, I don’t trust their flesh.
I’m not sure this man should be thinking so much about his daughters’ flesh. Or anyone’s flesh, for that matter.
My first son-in-law is named Daniel. I watched him while he and my daughter were in a special betrothing relationship before they got married. I think he wondered sometime if I was going to follow him around AFTER he and Dawn got married!
“I think that was why he decided not to move into my room after the wedding, even though I assured him that the bed was big enough for three.”
(Incidentally, just in case you’re wondering, I didn’t.)
“The private investigators took over after that, and they gave me lots of pictures for my special secret family album.”
But Daniel might have thought that because I was SO protective BEFORE they were married. Either myself or some other adult was with them all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME. I MEAN ALL THE TIME!
This guy is so vehement that I wonder if the first baby arrived after only six months. “How did you DO that? HOW? I watched you ALL THE TIME!”
Daniel was twenty-three and Dawn was nineteen at the time. You say, “They were adults. Couldn’t they be trusted?” Sure they could be trusted. But not their flesh. You don’t trust the flesh. It’s not wise to trust the flesh!
“The flesh moves sometimes, even when I don’t want it to! And then the flesh makes me do bad things! Must… stop… the… flesh!”
The statistics say that one out of four University girls are involved in date rape. Notice the term -- “DATE Rape.” Do you really think that date rape would ever occur if parents were present?!
And would marital rape ever occur if parents were present?! Would any rape occur if parents were present?! Lot’s daughters notwithstanding, of course. If only parents would just follow their children around every minute of the day, think of all the crime that would be prevented.
(2) Dating is a threat to emotional stability. Here’s what I mean by that: Dating, by it’s very nature, promotes feelings of rejection and low self-esteem.
Just like going to school or applying for a job, so avoid those too.
What happens when everybody has a boyfriend except your daughter? How does she feel?
Lesbian?
What happens when everybody has a date, young man, except you? What happens to the young man when the girl turns him down when he asks for a date?
Girls will have other girls over to “spend the night.” Then all night long they will talk about the. . . Lord? No! All night long they talk about boys, boys, boys!
And it drives Dr. Davis mad, mad, mad! Why won’t they talk about him, him, him!
Most couples who go through the dating game and then get married have to live with all the huggin’ and kissin’ and who knows what else that went on with who knows who all…
And who knows who else Mrs. Davis might have done who knows what with when whoever was doing what-all with her.
Dating is dangerous.
It makes Daddy very, very jealous.
(3) The idea of dating is wrong. The idea is to trust human nature. I want to tell you, there will never be a time in your life when you can trust human nature. Even wise adults build walls around their lives.
And obssessive paranoid “adults” should never venture outside those walls, for the good of us all.
Anyone who trusts the flesh will eventually wind up in trouble.
If you can’t trust your flesh, just get Dr. Davis to watch over it; he’ll keep a close eye on your flesh for you. And just in case this dire warning was not enough to scare sinners straight, Brandie Clayton’s story is told in the article
Poor Brandie started out with one strike against her already; she wasn’t a Christian. But then, in a moment straight out of a Jack Chick tract, someone showed her the light (and it was red, like the burning fires of hell).
She got a very serious look on her face and said, “If you died right now, do you know where you’d go?” I said, “No.” She said, “to hell”…. The world says, “You’re a good person! All you need is more self esteem and to believe in yourself!” What a lie!! I realized that night that I was just as guilty as a murderer.
The debauched Brandie then compounded her sinfulness by going on to do something even worse, something for which God Himself would have to punish her.
Almost one year later, I began dating the woman’s son who led me to the Lord.
She dated him. Can these souls be saved?
We were soon engaged and had a basically pure courtship. A little while before the wedding, he wanted to know about my past.
Because God forbid he ask a woman such an intimate question before getting engaged to her.
I was too afraid of what he’d think if he knew what I had really been like, so I lied to him… I knew he was a righteous man and God would protect him. Everything was called off about two weeks before the wedding. We broke off all ties.
One year later, I met my future husband… My limits began falling by the wayside; I was so emotionally involved by then. I ended up getting pregnant.
In other words, they had sex, though you’d never know it to read the story.
I can’t explain the deep sorrow I felt in my heart for sinning against God after all he had done for me. I cried out to him and begged him to have mercy on me. I knew I would be chastised, “for whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth”.
The Lord must just adore the people in hell.
Tommy wanted to marry me, and I felt the Lord would want that.
Her wishes were quite irrelevant, of course. This must have been part of the disciplinary process of the Lord.
Everything was announced at church; I knew the Lord wanted the sin exposed. Everyone was very grieved. We got married, and we were miserable together.
And God saw that it was good. It was also an ideal situation for the innocent unborn child.
… I know God’s chastening hand was upon us. I felt so grieved for what I had done; for about a year I would just cry and cry.... We were only together a year and a half and we separated. My husband went back to his old ways, and now he is in prison.
This way, the child gets to see its father on a regular basis, and the sex is nonexistent. I mean, how much more could you expect from God?
The Lord is working in a mighty way in our marriage now and is teaching me how to submit to my husband even now while his in prison… God is teaching us both hard lessons right now. We are able to write and occasionally see each other. I’m looking at it like a courtship. It’s not ideal, but God has been so merciful to me.
If this was God’s mercy, I’d hate to see him when he’s pissed. Of course, he’s had it in for women from the start, according to Walter J. Chantry in the article
One means was mentioned as the instrumental course of salvation from the devil’s clutches. It was Childbearing! Deliverance comes, not through man’s vocational efforts in the cultural mandate, but through woman’s childbearing.
If only women just behaved like queen bees or termites, staying at home producing offspring after offspring until the world was saved!
It is to woman, not man, that God assigned this high calling. But her hope is not identified with her political savvy, her business acumen, or her social activism.
Because she might as well have none. A woman is primarily a womb. If she doesn’t make full use of this organ, she might as well not exist.
It is in childbearing!... Today, through contraceptives and abortions, women can avoid the ‘nuisance’ of having children.
With authors like this around, who needs children? He’s in a cutesy little playworld of his own, where pretty babies are found under cabbage leaves.
Using these means, they are free to seek what they think are higher and more noble callings. What relief to the forces of darkness! Nothing crushes the cause of sin like godly childbearing.
We are not told how the forces of darkness react to ungodly childbearing, though, according to another article on this site, God is kind enough to occasionally give a child even to people who don’t believe in him. How very magnanimous of him, and I’m sure sex helps as well in that regard. Though you won’t know it to browse this magazine, since the Young Women Goosestepping Heavenward seem terrified of anything to do with the evil, sinful flesh. College and jobs are out of the question and talking to someone of the opposite sex is taboo, while parents and children are enmeshed in what’s more a single Borglike entity than a family. This is heaven? I think someone switched the signs.
Till next week, everyone!
