Before the camp starts and before the kids actually get there you see the adult workers pretty much having a prayer walk around the worship center. This is the first time you see a glimpse of how radical these people are, they pray over the sound system and that the kids would have open hearts (sounds friendly enough) but then the Child's Head Pastor starts to speak in tongues and you see a little bit of something you don't really understand, at least I don't. Soon after that you see the kids packing their bags and heading to the camp. The ones you see on the video are very excited to go to camp. The first night they get their they don't wait around to get busy, you see these young kids "Worshiping" and crying or maybe a better word is sobbing over sin, but not only is it sin, but sin revolved around our Government, catch my drift.
As the week goes on they get more and more personal with Pro Life and the Child's Head Pastor even goes as far to say in one of her sermons that if you have anything to do with Harry Potter you are messing with evil. One of the most disturbing uncomfortable moments in the film is when you see these kids sobbing one night once again as they have a guest speaker who comes to talk about Abortion, yea already you should be thinking what's going on, trust me it gets better. After he is done talking about pro life he starts to pull out models of fetuses that show how small the babies are before birth. They start to have their whole cry worship time and you see these kids holding and touching these models absolutely breaking down. To me this is disturbing, because these kids have no idea what is going on and they need to answer these question for themselves.
Do I think abortion is wrong, yes. But I don't agree with pounding what you believe into young children's heads until they think just like you. I agree with raising children up in christian homes, but I want my children to decide that abortion is wrong on there own, not through me sending them to a "christian camp" and telling them what we need to do with our government and how wrong whatever is, and let me stress their not sitting them down and just talking about these situations they are having a very emotional cry night on different subjects every night where these kids, especially at their age, have nothing eles to do but cry because it is so emotional and they feel such a guilt. God doesn't do guilt, he does individual conviction and I don't think that is what these kids were feeling, they were feeling the guilt of what our nation has become, which I will say isn't pretty, That's not teaching them the scripture, thats brainwashing them into the scripture, I want to see kids come to god because they want it in their own hearts, not because they don't have a choice or guilt.
This is a very sensitive subject and I really hope I am wrong. I want to see kids come to christ just as much as these people do. But I honestly think that that kind of stuff is what turns so many people away from christ. I believe what I believe but I don't believe in brainwashing kids into what I believe(not saying everything these people are preaching I agree with), I want them to make that descision on their own. I want to live a life of love for one another and fellowship and obedience and commitment to god. Not one of narrow minded religion where their is no room for argument and if their is no room for that then where does faith come from?
