Kids At Jesus Camp

[JenBKR]

My only comment after watching would be that I understand the woman's concern over the children having to live in this world and dealing with so much these days in the way of getting involved with *evil* things, etc. that can hurt them. What I don't agree with is her method.

Totally agree. I do some children's ministries work in my church, and I so love seeing kids get passionate about Christ. But her methods concern me. When the kids I work with get passionate, they are usually excited about God's love and what He has done for us. Their faces light up, they pray, and tears are sometimes shed. But this camp seems extreme to me, at least some of the methods. Although, I agree with what some others have said in this thread, I think I would need to see more to really be able to form an opinion. I think I'd be interested in seeing the whole documentary.

I think this might be the interview you were talking about --

I didn't know that -- ya learn something new every day! They don't cover her in Canadian guiding, so I had to go read up on her on Wikipedia!

(poor woman, deafened in one ear by silver nitrate, and in the other by a misplaced projectile rice at a wedding -- what bad luck!)

Because we have, excuse me, but we have the truth.

this part really bothers me, I am not realigous personally, I DO beive in god, but I dont disbelieve in on other religions deitys, whos says that have the truth? oh right, they did lol there is a big difference between "truth" and "belief" everyone has their BELIEFS but not one single person on this planet has the TRUTH.
