Every spring (on the Tuesday evening after Easter) is held The Gathering at each and every Mating House in various places throughout the country.

Everyone being nude in each Mating House (or even partially nude as to improper hairstyles, armwear or lack of it, legwear or lack of it, footwear or lack of it, etc.) is both non-necessary and even inconveniently confusing. With needless distraction of general-heterosexual nudity (and/or various degrees or stages of it), the men and young women present would find it too difficult to rationally reason and think about moral and spiritual qualifications and disqualifications relating to successful and appropriate sexual-partner (mate) selection and acquisition. Heterosexual public nudity would breed dangerous and destructive negative jealousies.

Now, I realize that the Bible does not state everything said from God to Adam (plus Adam to God) nor everything said from God to Eve (plus Eve to God). If it did, perhaps even a few hundred or thousand CD-ROMs could not contain all which was mutually spoken and discussed. From the meager and limited Scriptural Text alone, it is apparent that the shame about having exposed genitals was a GIVEN - related of course to contact made with and ingestion of the Forbidden Fruit of The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil - but not based upon parental admonitions and prohibitionary education [Adam and Eve had no parents].....prudish prejudicial brainwashing from the demonic media.....nor any sacred copies of the KJV, RSV, nor any other primordial printed Bibles lying around.

Their shame mentality (or immentality, depending upon your point of view) was innate instinct.....impossible to disregard or overcome.

Both Adam and Eve were not even aware that they were naked when they were naked before their Fall. So, eating of the Forbidden Tree automatically "enlightened" them (to put in positively) as to their being naked, plus possibly caused them to be ashamed about it (though one might rather assume that being ashamed about being naked was NOT directly caused by either [the presence of] The Tree NOR presence-of/access-to the Tree's non-lethal/lethal Fruit...and hence NOT God's fault in creating such and the capacity to eat of such, but instead the fault of those who deliberately chose to misbehave disobediently by doing what they had been commanded to not do). [Incidently, such a line of thought is useful in determining the legal definitions of obscenity, alcoholism, cigarette and narcotics production and trafficking and addiction, etc.]

Concordant with what we find generally occurring in The HOLY BIBLE, the women physically congregate in a place where men are likely to come to and be in.....and the men then make the selection among such with audible verbal declaration and/or written [hard-copy] record.

Discriminating choices are made as to physical attractiveness (or the opposite) and bodily beauty (or lack of it) - both FACIALLY and FIGUREWISE. Obvious handicap and disabilities understandably detract.

Initial and crucial discerning distinctions are also made as to weight, height, race or skin color (Caucasian or Negroid or Asian), language, age, etc.

Final decisions involve character traits and religious beliefs and disbeliefs.

Each Mating House has an anti-fornication in-house [Christian] Reverend - not licensed as a State-certified clergyman - in the BIBLICAL sense of the word.....who serves as a Common-Law-Contract [concubinal] Pastor to liturgically officiate and witness marriage-union vows [of consentual-adult groom-and-bride pairings who will live-in together privately].....and functions as the Chief Coordinator of activities within and related to the Mating House he is the Minister of.
