Personally, I think Karen Burnett has a good heart but should stick to rescuing abused animals instead of wayward teens. I mean this is a lady who not so long ago had her son transported to a program in Costa Rica, instead of taking him, herself. If anybody should know what the ed con, independent referral and transport racket is all about it, it's Karen, but apparently, she has yet to take the rose-colored glasses off long enough to see the truth. Wake up Karen, ministering to parents who lock their kids up in some money-making program is NOT a calling from God. It's the Devil's work.

"Deb you are talking to Karen Z. Her son was at ALA."
I assumed as much.

More discussion on the ALA Saga can be found on Amazing Forums. Personally, it's hard to know what to think or who to believe but I do think Deborah raises some valid points.

Ginger - Why slap the derogatory epitaph of Bible Thumper on here? This is a thread about a Christian Program. Doesn?t it follow that some expressing of Christian thought might be proper?
Besides, as you point out; back then, the common folk were illiterate and had to take the 'thumpers' word for what was in The Book. Today, we most all of us can read and so can find out for ourselves what The Book has to say. And so, "Thumping" is no longer necessary.

Good point! Since you can read for yourself, why on Earth would you buy into some obvious ruse about what God is calling you to do? What? Does Craig Rogers have some kind of special access to God so that he knows better than anybody else what God wants us all to do?
This is what the Bible thumpers did. They went around recruiting for war and blaming it all on God. "God wants you to go liberate Jeruselem!" Yeah, right. And I suppose God wants me to take out a second mortgage so you can do his work on my kid, right?
Here's some folk wisdom you might find useful. If someone's telling you it's raining, look down and make sure they're not just wizzing on your leg.
Do you actually believe this rot? And how do you reconcile the Craig Rogers who's wisdom and devine enlightenment saved your kid w/ the Craig Rogers who is now, apparently, at odds w/ the kid's boss?
God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
