Mind-blowing!  I am still incredulous at the long range and long term effects of the deception of 1 man!  Or am I?  One only has to look at the evolution theories to see another widespread deception.

Personally I had wondered many times where the notion that children are sexual from birth had originated – thank you for the enlightenment.

We need to get the video and show it at the end of ROMI and ROMI needs to be shown ASAP after GKGW. Too many times people do ROMI… when they hit their first moral problem with their oldest around 7-8…then say “I wish I knew this years ago”!

…The subject matter presented has always been in line with my beliefs, however I was unaware of many of the statistics that were presented and found it alarming as to the decline in moral standards and the increase of sexual problems in society.

I can’t help but wonder if people, especially parents, in the community were made aware of these standards and were then to realize that something is going very wrong with what we are teaching our children in the area of SE and modesty, that there would not be a huge outcry and a real desire for changes.

…it was good to hear how things progressed to drag our society down the path it is heading. The alternative biblical view on our history will make people realise that the “norm” today has been manipulated by Godless men to suit their own depravity.

One of the things that has bugged me for years, … is the way crude, secular language has crept into the Christian’s speech…  Anyway, keep doin’ what your doin’ for the Lord. It needs to be said. When immoral behaviour is kept quiet, people think they can get away with it, and parents do not realise they have a responsibility to protect their kids.

I found the evening to be very professionally researched and well delivered…(I am confident you could easily write a book on the subject)  Content was very good, though I was waiting for more concrete support ie.

So how can I teach my child about modesty?

What can I do to ensure that my child is protected from harm, yet socialized well enough to deal with peers and school situations that demand a sophisticated level of knowledge?

At what age do I start dialogue with my children in relation to their sexuality?

How do I actually talk about the issues without having either the knowledge or confidence to approach them?

After listening to the tapes and having strong convictions about the moral decline of society for a while now, I am so glad that Heather has put this presentation together.  I pray that it is the catalyst for getting us all to think about the values we believe in so that we can input into our children to ensure they are clear what Gods standards are in the area of sexuality.

Heather’s presentation was clearly derived from much research, thought and prayer and showed how we can all be deceived by gradualism if we don’t put theories and doctrines through God’s filter first.  It is amazing to me that the Kinsian theories actually took off like they did, just shows how we need to be on our guard when new ideas arise.

As a Christian Mother, I have often been astounded at the type of acceptance of very liberal, ‘politically correct’ philosophies there has been in our society and within the church...  Far too often have I heard comments such as ‘it’s only natural’, it’s completely normal’, ‘it’s all part of growing up’, when parents are referring to such things as child sexual play, specific behaviours during adolescence, sex education and purity and modesty (or rather, the lack of it).

Hearing “A Call to Modesty” has been invaluable in helping me to understand where so many of these philosophies and ideas have originated from...   I feel sure that this information will give parents hope and courage to stand firm against ‘the norm’…  I certainly am encouraged and strengthened myself, knowing that there is support for parents who desperately want purity and Godliness to be foremost in the hearts of their children.  We do not have to settle for second best, just because the majority may do so.

I found the “Does a Fish Know it’s Wet” presentation absolutely startling. That we could have allowed this to happen to our children is a disgrace... Following the GEMS meeting I typed in ‘Australian unplanned teenage pregnancy’ and was staggered at what I read. Furthermore the ‘remedies’ for the situation endorsed many of the same ‘policies’ that have contributed to the very problem in the first place... I’m staggered that we continue to follow the same approach when it is obviously not working... We have become so far removed from God’s Word in this area and desperately need some form of biblically based curriculum to teach both parents and children that there is a better way. What better way than to walk with our almighty God who has it all at hand???

Thank you Heather for all of the work you put into the presentation. It can’t have been very pleasant at times. I’m certainly finding that as I research it further. The information has given me a very big ‘wake up call’ and I’m glad of the discussion it has generated .

I had not heard of Kinsey and had not put much thought into why the so called ‘sexual revolution’ of the 60’s happened.  Now I can see the evil intent of one man fed the evil desires of others with influence to the extent that sexually immoral views have been encouraged by our governments.

There will always be evil in the world, that is a fact.  However if we are silent like Adam, or government officials who turn a blind eye, then are we not also to blame?  As Christians we need to speak out against what we know to be wrong and protect our brothers and sisters and our children as bst we can from a fallen society, while at the same time telling others of God’s standards and love and the hope that they bring.

This information is invaluable as it has been gathered over years and is thorough and balanced.  I believe it is imperitave that Christians hear this and stop burying our heads in the sand for as Hosea 4:6 says “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”

The world is on a downward slide and our future generation will be caught up in the trap unless we gain the knowledge and then act upon it.

I found the evening to be nothing short of mind blowing… I believed I had gathered all different information from many different walks of life… and had come to my very own opinions and conclusions.  It screamed of Kinsey… to say the word “challenging” with what truly lies ahead is such a ridiculous understatement that it all  gets a bit overwhelming.  I will do what I can…

Thank you for having the guts to say it out loud with ten tonne of references…

I commend you for such an excellent presentation.  I felt like I’d devoured a huge feast by the time it ended.…I feel inspired and challenged to DO something and be “radically conservative” for the Lord more and more… Statistics, Kinsey stuff so shocking… so evil.

Thank you for being willing to take on these uncomfortable tasks and not compromising…

As a Father with my oldest boy now aged 10, I was very excited to find some practical ideas on addressing the many issues arising in the transition from boy to man. This pack is like a new tool in my parenting toolbox. It has already been the inspiration for some quality father/ son conversations. The idea of making a special events out of simple needs – like a trip together to buy the first can of deodorant was brilliant and is now looked forward to by younger siblings!  I encourage Dad’s to read and apply this resource as a springboard to building deeper trust and communication with your sons.

“Becoming a Woman” by Heather McEwan is the most well balanced and easy-to-use presentation of a girl's journey to womanhood that I have seen. Not only does it cover the practical aspects of puberty and development but also gives Mums and daughters the reason behind pursuing purity. I love that it lays a great foundation in a format that is easy to share with your daughter. Heather covers everything I knew I wanted to tell my daughters but I wasn't sure how I'd go about it! She has saved us the hard work!  I look forward to talking through these issues with my own daughters and having On Becoming a Woman is going to make it so much easier.

I’ve been challenged personally, and for my family… things I’ve allowed and shouldn’t.

As a Principal in a Christian School, God has been challenging me in many areas of Christian Education over many months!  This seminar has sealed my determination to make changes in God’s school with God’s guidance…

" The value of the Purity Paradigm's ' Does a Fish Know It's Wet?' can be likened to my primary core area of study and research as well as ministry, that being drug and alcohol ministry.  For many years the notion of drug education centred on how the drug was used and its form and appearance.  The theory was that if one knew all these facts then people would leave it alone.  The reality was that people attending Drug Education programmes used the time to gather data which led them to going and experimenting with various methods of ingestion and use, hence the programme failed.  Our core function in drug education is now to research medically the affects of various drugs on the body, mind and indeed spirit.  In sharing factual data about the drugs we have had an amazing influence on many young people, who when faced with facts (not theories) re the way in which a drug can and will affect them, they are better placed to make an informed judgement.  Sadly most parents are blissfully ignorant and do not have the data to assist their kids make those choices or build in preventative measures to protect their children.  Hence we have such nonsense as harm minimisation which essentially says - "We will teach you how to use this dangerous toxic drug 'safely' so that you wont be too badly affected by it!"

Sex education is in the same boat.  Following the Kinseyite model, so called "learned " people have convinced us that dangerous policies, practices and thought patterns are really safe and harmless even therapeutic.  Sex education in our schools has seen a rise in pregnancies, std's and other flow on affects ie rape, sodomy, etc  giving fascination to a private subject to such an extent that to turn the tide now needs a committed and dedicated body of believers to claim back this area of Gods wonder and design from the evil one.  Sex education should be the domain of parents however we have had successive generations who have handed over our children to be manipulated and defiled in their thoughts long before they have the emotional and spiritual capacity to understand the implications.  The mantle of sex education especially in the Christian community now falls to our Christian schools to fill the gap for a generation till we can educate our parents so that they can take on this role once again.

We lost the war on drugs many years back by being unwise and accepting that so called learned people knew better.  As a result we have allowed the sacrifice of too many of our children and families on the end of a needle and in the mind numbing smoke of a bong.  We cannot afford to make the same mistake with sex education.  We are seeing the out-working of Kinsey's destructive theories already.  It is time to make a stand for this generation and the Christian school is best placed to draw the line in the sand to begin the process of reclaiming Purity for our childrens sake, their children and for Christ sake!

I thought the information was very helpful and informative.  I would certainly support a parent education video series.  Having been introduced to Kinsey by your talk I was interested to see his “research” mentioned in a newspaper article recently and it taken as fact as an authority on the subject.

The material really made me think about my own background and what had influenced me and how important it is for our children to have the right information but at the right time and what a responsibility we have to protect them morally.

A must for all parents! There is a battle going on for the hearts and minds of our children. They are being defiled by the culture they live in. As a result they are carrying the baggage from their teenage mistakes into their adulthood. This results in insecurity, mistrust and often marriage breakdown!  Furthermore their children grow up in fear. It is a cycle all too familiar in the present days.

I encourage all educators to listen to this material. I am firmly convinced that this material should be compulsory in ALL SCHOOLS, not just Christian schools. I am indebted to the McEwan’s for their in-depth balanced research of a topic that is fundamental to reclaiming the human race for God’s glory.

With our children's minds and hearts being assaulted daily in regards to the area of personal purity, the message being proved by Heather McEwan is so timely.

As a Mum of six children and knowing how the 'current wisdom' of the day has influenced her thinking in the past regarding the issue of biblical purity, it is with conviction and passion that she delivers a message of warning and hope to the Church and parents interested in protecting their children's purity.

It is frightening to think that the Church has allowed the minds of today's parents to be taken captive by the philosophies of the world.

The FISH seminar will not only challenge this man made philosophy, but also expose the evil forces behind them. In addition, Heather offers biblical truth to replace the lies.

Be prepared to have your paradigm bumped in a major way and be thankful for the boldness and grace in which Heather presents this timely information.

Having been very closely involved with parents, Christian schools, and state schools for over 20 years now, we have watched the moral decay in our society and especially in the family and children. 

We have realized that Heather McEwan has been lead of God to open a door for all involved in the nurture of children to not only understand what has happened to our society, and recognize where we stand in it all – but also presents the foundations for the answers. 

We would encourage all involved in nurture of children to attend this seminar which is urgently needed.  It is encouraging too for us to have been with Rebecca St James, a world renowned worship and gospel singer and see that she and thousands of youth around the world are taking up the challenge of bring about change for our youth. 

Let our generations join them.

The information is historically and statistically factual and delivered in a direct and professional manner.  All parents need to hear this presentation, and commit their children and themselves to purity.  All schools need to present it to their staff and students.

 
 
 
Pastor Kerry Pearce

In a sadly ever changing world, our youth today are subject to a lot more immoral material than what we as parents and teachers, realise. The passage from Titus 2:6 has been laid upon my heart, by the Lord, for not only our youth but for their parents. Your material is exactly what the people of this world need to see and hear. The Truth. I would recommend that all Parents, Teachers and Pastors should view this material, for it will better equip those into understanding the how’s and the whys of the immoral media that is breaking down our society today.

With that in mind we should not forget what Paul said to the Ephesians "For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person...has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience" (Eph. 5:5-6, emphasis added).

I believe the information presented in the 'Does a Fish  Know it's Wet' seminar is both informative and shocking. As parents and health professionals, we need to be constantly vigilant as to what we are training into the next generation. Too often we accept standards because 'that's what everyone else is doing'. This information has allowed me to make an informed decision about ways to protect my own children's purity and also has given me the confidence to challenge what we are accepting as the 'norm' in health care today.

What I felt was the strength of the presentation, and the part I appreciated the most, was that it factually demonstrated how profoundly the Kinsey studies have impacted on the educational and philosophical norms of society.

Whilst it has been established how flawed, biased and unprofessional these studies were, and the conclusions and applications of these studies have been so detrimental to society, yet the applications persist because it has become the ‘norm’.

I was reasonably ambivalent about sex education in schools previously, I now feel strongly that it is the parents’ role.  I hope to see positive and proactive male/female character training replacing ‘nuts and bolts’ sex ed in schools…

The issues raised and addressed are signally important and need to be heard/read by the widest possible audience/readership.  Contents wise, it’s a significant presentation.

To be presented in book form would be an ideal way to utilize the volume of information collected.  This would allow for adequate thinking time: a book can be put aside or continued with – at the readers discretion
