This is sorta the point I was trying to make. All of the scriptures being thrown at you talking about "overcoming" will do squat until you decide to change, especially when it comes to a single in his (or her -but usually his) 20-something who faces a distinct lack of other singles. It will come through sheer force of will or as a result of the inevitable consequences of the lifestyle.
I do think there are other more interesting issues here though such as the lack of single females in that age group who are not part of the "in" PK crowd. As a teen in the UPC I found the separation between the cool kids and also-rans was even greater than in high school, made worse by the fact that I felt it shouldn't be that way, especially in "the church". Seeing this was one more big domino that fell on my road to leaving apostolica.
