		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Lovers must not, like usurers, live for themselves alone. They must finally turn from their gaze at one another back toward the community. If they had only themselves to consider, lovers would not need to marry, but they must think of others and of other things. They say their vows to the community as much [...]]]></description>

It wouldn’t happen in any other situation, what man would tolerate another man doing something like this, voluntarily? Pastor Dawson was now in the last part of his message.

What a friggin&#8217; luxury. It kills him, but it seems like something you almost want to take on. When a million other films and PSM&#8217;s are screaming in your [...]]]></description>
