Squick!

Okay, girls, now that you've had your period for the first time, I want you to turn to your father, gaze deeply into his eyes, and repeat the following:

I make a promise this day to God to remain sexually pure until the day I give myself as a wedding gift to my husband. I know that God requires this of me that he loves me and that he will reward me for my faithfulness.

Y'know, there's a fine line between giving your children the information they need to make well-informed decisions (whatever your ideological bent) and actively being involved in your child's sex life, and this little bit of tripe is over that line.

Oh, the father then responds,

I choose before God to cover my daughter as her authority and protection in the area of purity. I will be pure in my own life as a man, husband and father. I will be a man of integrity and accountability as I lead, guide and pray over my daughter and as the high priest in my home. This covering will be used by God to influence generations to come.

Okay, now I'm squicked.

I find that deeply, deeply offensive. That's how you raise a victim.
