Pro-Family Group Promotes Sexual Purity Goal to Reach 40 Million Youth By End of Year Members of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification are taking their message to the streets of America, holding rallies and asking young people to recite a pledge of sexual abstinence before marriage. Their goal is reach 40 million American youth before the end of the year with the abstinence message. As of now, according to their New York office manager Jorg Heller, they have reached around 6 million.

The pledge, called the Pure Love Pledge, is written on a card and handed to young people with a request that they recite the pledge and commit themselves to refrain from sexual activity before marriage.

"We've had a tremendous response in Harlem," said Juanita Pierre-Louis, a Family Federation leader in New York. "One woman came running up to me after she read the card and threw her arms around me and said this is exactly what our young people need to hear." Heller states that Family Federation members around the country, many of them housewives with children in tow, report a tremendously positive response to the initiative.

Abstinence before marriage and fidelity within marriage are bedrock beliefs of the group founded by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, who blessed in marriage many of the group leaders in Madison Square Garden in 1982. Seventeen years later, these couples have teenagers who are dedicated to maintaining their sexual purity in a youth culture in which the word virgin is almost a foreign term.

In order to spread the message further, hundreds of these Unificationist teenagers have toured America and overseas during the last three summers with an organization called the Pure Love Alliance. Using street theater, rock music, service projects and rallies, the teens generally get favorable responses from crowds and civic leaders and good media coverage.

NEW YORK, March 21 - Months ago, when Sister Marjorie McGregor, Janet Gilroy and Joanne Fruhauf learned about a slide presentation on AIDS that stressed teen-age celibacy, they were eager to promote it.

The three women, who lead groups on Long Island that encourage family values and premarital celibacy, worked hard at distributing the presentation, "Free Teens, USA." They championed the show's creators, Richard A. Panzer and Dr. William L. Bergman, at public and private schools, churches and doctors' offices on Long Island and in Brooklyn.

"We bought it because it's very good and very concise," Ms. Fruhauf, a chapter leader of Concerned Women of America said. "It's a very moral message."

Mrs. Gilroy, a leader of Project Respect, said, "We trusted and thought this is such a great thing they're doing."

Last fall, the women were stunned to hear from a specialist in anticult research that Mr. Panzer and Dr. Bergman had had leadership roles in the Unification Church. The church, led by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, has been widely criticized for enticing young people to join and isolating them from their families.

Although the three women had no indication that the two men were recruiting in this case, they immediately cut their ties.

The men said their intent was only to stop the spread of AIDS.

"We may never be able to decipher the truth regarding the motives behind the program," Sister Marjorie McGregor said. "But I strongly recommend the Panzer program not be used by our young people."

The concerns of the Long Island groups are shared by their usual ideological opponent, Planned Parenthood, which also opposes Mr. Panzer and the presentation.

Public schools throughout the region have used the slides, with many unaware of Mr. Panzer and Dr. Bergman's links to Mr. Moon. Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood, N.J. is among those. The school districts that have bought the slides include Bronxville, White Plains, Yorktown, Byram Hills and Briarcliff, in New York, "Free Teens" literature says.

In April, the New York City Board of Education approved Mr. Panzer and Dr. Bergman as vendors, clearing the way for the city's middle and high schools to buy the slides for $150 for a three-hour presentation or $200 for six hours. Board officials said that they believe that no schools have bought the program, but that they cannot be certain because the decision is up to the individual schools.

Oct. 13 - Is there a link between George W. Bush and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon? Some Bush foes are alleging there is - and are scrambling to prove it.

THE RUMBLINGS ORIGINATED because former president George Bush has accepted substantial fees from Moon, the head of the controversial Unification Church (whose followers are sometimes called "Moonies") and the owner of the conservative Washington Times. Bush has allegedly accepted at least $1 million from the Church for various speaking engagements (some put the figure closer to $10 million). He has called Moon "a man of vision" and has spoken on his behalf in front of groups in Washington, Tokyo and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In 1996, Bush gave the keynote address when Moon launched his new publishing venture in Buenos Aires. "I want to salute Rev. Moon, who is the founder of The Washington Times and also of Tiempos del Mundo," the former president said. He lauded the Washington Times for promoting "sanity" - and said that Moon's new Argentinean newspaper "is going to do the same thing."

"Some [Democratic foes] of George W. Bush are convinced that there is a link and they're looking to prove it," says one source. "At the very least, it doesn't look good that old man Bush seems to be so tight with the Moonies when his standing has been so instrumental in launching George W.'s political career."

It is hard to believe but true that in 1975, the liberal movement was rampant. In a mere five years, how in the world has that miserable America, who retreated from Vietnam, losing the war against a nobody like North Vietnam, brought the Republicans back again and maintained their dignity and brought the country around to the extreme right, as represented by Reagan? It was a puzzle. It is a fact, so no one questions it now, but who played the key role? Father did. If Father didn't actually do something to turn the tide around, it would not have been done. Only those who know, know, but we do. Reagan did not know how he became the president. He succumbed to the pressure and sent Father to prison.
