The following news article helps once again tell the story.  As many of you know, the story of A&F’s trashy history begins long ago.  Do you remember when they sold a hot, pornographic catalog even to youth back in 1999 before Jennifer Granholm,  then Michigan’s state Attorney General, told them to cease and desist or face prosecution? Here is A&F’s latest sexual, marketing tryst: Abercrombie & Fitch Sparks Outcry With Padded Bikini Tops for 8-Year-Olds “Swimsuit season is looming, and stores are galore with itty bitty bikinis.

The titanic freedoms which we once enjoyed have been cut loose from their Christian restraints and are becoming a force of destruction leading to chaos. And when this happens, there really are very few alternatives. All morality becomes relative, law becomes arbitrary, and society moves toward disintegration. In personal and social life, compassion is swallowed up by self-interest. …"   Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer ****************** Your support is important to our ability to make a difference.
