2nd try as Magnolia Christian School (Carolina Springs)

<< < (2/5) > >>

Ursus:
What's with all this obsession with Magnolias?

Fwiw, I believe Narvin's latest rendition of Carolina Springs Academy went by the name of Magnolia Hills Academy and/or Magnolia Hills Christian School when it reincarnated as that Christian boarding school for girls in 2009.

Incidentally, this place is different from, and not to be confused with, but similar enough in essense — as far as the mindfuckery goes — to... spank-happy Magnolia Christian Center.

Pile of Dead Kids:
You've got to be fucking kidding me. I expect my sig length to max out soon if these fucknuggets actually manage to open this place.

Its just smart marketing. People in the south love their magnolias and people in the north admire them and try to grow them. So, "Magnolia" creates a positive association in most peoples minds. This is also no doubt why they are calling it a Christian program. People ignorant of the common abuses in these private for profit programs; ignorant of the sad fact that so called "Christian" programs are among the worst; ignorant of the fact that WWASP programs are operated by Mormons who will refuse to let a kid read their Bible but will invite them to Bible classes and then pass out the Book of Mormon, will have a positive association with the word Christian and the concept of Christian thought, practice and learning. It's nothing but marketing.

I should add that Narvin admits going "Christian" to avoid licensing and regulations; but he could accomplish this if he opens as a LDS program. That however would cut back his potential victims drastically - so he claims Christ falsely. Its a shame he doesn't read his Bible :
Matthew 7:
15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’


Matthew 25:
 41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ 44“Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ 45“Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Oz girl:
I dont know why it is popular with the christian arm of this industry as i dont think there is a biblical reference but I think it is referencing the film steel magnolias which described the women as being sort of strong but delicate and ladylike. The magnolia flower is known to be tough and resistant to bugs etc. I have no idea why boys boot campy type places go with this flower image because a flower no matter how tough is pretty poofterish if you are a guy, which is of course not what christian boot camps are all about. But I can see the imagery in marketing a girls school

seamus:
It kinda smacks of southern culture,kinda that antibellum,traditional bs that the south just eats up. Like trying to glom onto that sort of thing, just like housing deveopments do.They name themselves ,the streets etc shit like hampton,chuchill,or the reserve. more marketing than anthing else.......prolly do it in some fashion in your country too , no? Kinda like an alternative school will call itself "New Directions" or somesuch.
