Trying to figure out your angle

Karly:
I'm sorry - but you obviously just cannot control your over-reactional nature long enough to read or think clearly!!!  That's too bad for you.  But oh well- at least there is a still whole world of people out there who can read and can think clearly!!!

G'Day!

Firebird81:
Nice try, Karly, really. Good strategy there. When presented with the truth and when challenged to actually back up your wild claims and research them yourself before irresponsibly posting them on a blog, you accuse me of doing exactly what you are doing.

OverLordd:
Yay!!! Some one from the Teen Challenge Staff! I can finally rip into you for the pain and suffering you caused a friend of mine!!!

To begin with, I had a friend, this friend was into certin alternative life styles. She was tricked into going to Teen Challenge. There her atlernative life style was challenged and she was forced to change, she was not given a choice, she was not allowed to agrue, and you changed who she was.

This is a major issue for me. Christianity is a choice. Programs like yours, and people like you are poor representaives of christ. You are heritics, people like you were once burned at the stake. Then again so was my friend.

The fact of the matter is that you don't represent Christ or God, or any type of Godly behavior. And if you decide to argue the point, I will rip your agrument to shreads, please try if you want. I was bored all day today. I could use a laugh.

What she WAS allowed to do was leave a program she didn't agree with. Teen Challenge does not force people to change. If someone does not want to change they are asked to leave or leave themselves.  Are you saying she was a lesbian? How was she changed? I am assuming that she might ahve come out confused about what felt natural to her vs. what Teen Challenge told her on the subject. I am truly sorry for her if that is the case. I wouldn't say I have seen many homosexuals in the men's program, but there have been a few and I would see them try to adhere to a non-homosexual lifestyle and their failure to do so resulted in some of the most scandalous moments in southern California teen Challenge. It's really kind of hard to put a gay man in a progam surrounded by nothing but other men, many of whom work out regularly and are in good shape and tell him that it's wrong for him to want them. his very nature goes against it.

Yes, Christianity is a choice. Teen Challenge does not try to coerce ANYONE into Christianity. Applicants are told beforehand that this is a Christian progam. They are given a copy of the rules to read and sign the last page stating that they have read and agree to abide by those rules. This is before they are accepted. No one is tricked into going into TC blindly. As far as theology, TC abides by the exact same theology taught in every Baptist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Presbyterian or any other mainstream denomination you can think of.
