WILLIAM D. PECKENPAUGH, AKA WILLIAM DELOS PECKENPAUGH, W.D. OR BILL PECKENPAUGH, ON DEC 1, 2004 WAS CHARGED WITH SIX COUNTS OF FIRST-DEGREE SODOMY, TWO COUNTS OF SEX ABUSE, AND ONE COUNT OF USING A CHILD FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEXUAL DISPLAY. He is the author of "Familial and Societal Attitudes Toward Nudity, and The Effects on Children's Development," a much quoted article by Nudists and Naturists, that makes the claim that naturist children are less sexually active and more emotionally healthy than non-naturist children. Peckenpaugh has been a frequent poster on rec.nude, alt.christnet.nudism and misc.kids. If you have relevant information to assist with prosecution please contact Darin Tweedt at 503.588.5222.

This is a reprint of his Personal Interests Page from his website, Dec. 2, 2004.
Personal
Interests
The following sites reflect my hobbies, interests, work, etc. This page is entirely based on me, personally, and may or may not represent the interests of my parents, church, or anyone else for that matter! [William D. Peckenpaugh]
Clothing optional recreation (aka social
naturism/nudism)
Christian Nudism
If God meant for us to go nude, we'd be born that way
...
The Bible,
Society and Nudity
CheefDan's Christian Naturist
page
alt.christnet.nudism A rather low-traffic newsgroup dedicated to the discussion of Christianity & nudism. Maybe we can increase the on-topic traffic (?)
A brief quote
"Sexual modesty cannot then in any simple way
be identified with the use of clothing, nor shamelessness
with the absence of clothing and total or partial
nakedness.
There are circumstances in which nakedness is not
immodest...
Nakedness as such is not to be equated with physical
shamelessness. Immodesty is present only when nakedness
plays a negative role with regard to the value of the
person...
The human body is not in itself shameful, nor for the same
reasons
are sensual reactions, and human sensuality in general.
Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function
of the interior of a person."
Pope John Paul II (nee Karol Cardinal Wojtyla)
[in "Love & Responsibility," 1981]
Family/Social Nudism
The Willamettans family nudist resort
The Naturist
Society
American Association for Nude
Recreation
Mooncrow's Naturist Pages Much information about family-oriented naturism/nudism in The Great Northwest
rec.nude can be a good resource, but spam, trolls, and other such hazards may give a distorted view of what the 'net nudist community is really like.
Papers I have written relating to
social nudism:
Familial and societal attitudes toward nudity, and the effects on children's development A review of several recent, relevant studies on social and family nudism's effects on children
Descriptive study summary: Marilyn Story study from paper
Descriptive study summary: Lewis and Janda study from paper
Descriptive study summary: Ron and Juliette Goldman study from paper
Descriptive study summary: Aquilino and Ely study from paper
Comprehensive bibliography for nudist
families, parents, educators, and researchers
Routine, non-medical infant circumcision
A quote:
"His followers said to him, 'Is circumcision useful or
not?'
He said to them, 'If it were useful, children's fathers
would produce them already circumcised from their mothers.
Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become valuable in
every respect.'"
--Jesus, in the [apocryphal] Gospel of Thomas, 53.
The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC) The granddaddy of the movement to stop routine circumcision.
Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)
National Organization to Halt the Abuse and Routine Mutilation of Males (NOHARMM)
circumstitions.com "Intactivism" page Possibly the best collection of rebuttals to the myths behind circumcision.
