Raising children

<< < (4/4)

Phazel:
I raised my kids early on in church, because I felt it important.  Yet, thier experiences have not helped them in thier lives to any significant degree.

Most churches have kids in them that can be every bit as hurtful as thier public school counter parts.

One church was always bragging about thier youth group and how friendly and loving they all were to each other.  They forgot to mention the kids that were caught having sex, they forgot to mention the group leaders who didn't pay enough attention to them to see the fondling and I was at a home once where if a few youth guys weren't exhibiting gay tendencies (of course they were just very friendly) then maybe you can call me a homophobe.

That rambling being said.  If you as a parent aren't involved in thier lives, if you aren't thier source for spiritual leadership, if you aren't thier primary source for fellowship, fun and memories then what will happen is they will just get in trouble with church kids rather than secular kids.
