‘What Would Jesus Do’ condoms keeps teens on the straight and narrow, says

 A
controversial preacher says teenagers will stop having illicit sex no matter how
strong the temptation if parents will make sure they never leave home without one of his
trademarked “What Would Jesus Do?” condoms stashed away in their purse
or wallet.
“WWJD condoms are a divinely inspired idea and they work like a
charm,” the Rev. Dr. Paul Morehead, whose short-wave radio broadcast from Montgomery,
Alabama, reaches an estimated 1.6 million listeners worldwide. told derekclontz.com
exclusively.
“Don’t tell me about hormones. Don’t talk to me
about unbridled appetites of the flesh.
“When a young man and a young woman give in to Satan, when they
strip down like animals in the wild and prepare themselves for a lusty round of heavy
petting and full-blown sex, what better reminder for them to buck up than a WWJD condom
with the image of our Lord and Savior right on the package, and then, as a failsafe
measure, also on knobby shaft of the prophylactic itself?
“I’ve tested them with my own teenagers and hardly a weekend
passes when one of them doesn’t come back home with a WWJD condom completely unrolled
and dangling unused from his or her fingertips or pushed up under the seat of the car as a
badge of honor.
“At the very moment their temptation was strongest, they turned
back from sin after seeing the boldly-lettered WWJD logo that signifies, ’Stop!
Think! What would Jesus do in this situation?’
“These condoms aren’t just an idea whose time has come, they
are a godsend to every parent with an at-risk child.”
Flabbergasted critics couldn’t disagree more.
They say putting Jesus Christ on condoms isn’t just “tacky,” it’s a
sacrilege - and they openly wonder if preacher Morehead hasn’t lost his mind.
“If you give a child a condom, you’re pretty much telling him
that sex is okay as long as you use protection,” fumes Marcia Kenderly, a born-again
Christian with four daughters ranging in age from 13 to 18.
“Rev. Morehead says the WWJD and image of Jesus will make these
kids stop before they go ‘all the way.’
“He says his own children show him their WWJD condoms as proof
that even though the came close to having sex, they didn’t.
“But how does he know that instead of having sex with the condom,
they had sex without it? I’m a married adult and I wouldn’t let my husband use
one of those things.
“I feel like I’m committing a sin just thinking about
it.”
Naysayers aside, Morehead - who designed the condoms himself - has
arranged for a manufacturer to produce 100,000 of the WWJD prophylactics that he
plans to sell for $5 a pop over the Internet and through Christian bookstores nationwide.
“All the profits will go to a home I’m building for unwed mothers,” says
the preacher. “A home that wouldn’t be needed if those girls had been carrying a
WWJD condom.”
