unbelievable...a HELL PLAY by our local homeschoolers!

Deb,
Thank you for your homeschooling input! (Oh yes, the Church Lady ;)) Yes, the HSers are using all kinds of excuses to keep their kids from Daniel; although they try to have alittle tolerance when they are view when in a public setting (rollerskating etc..). Yes, some of these mothers were 'together' for a couple years before they met me, so they are inseparable as well as their kids. (Oh yes, died in the wool tithers for sure...I even went to their church one time to the meeting that that they were holding on the financial program of Dave Ramseys'... which has caught on like wild fire in many churches in town...) Thankyou for understanding what I have been going through with this group, bu, I do not feel that God has given me the ok to leave just yet! This has been a thorn in my flesh for awhile, but I am just trying to know if HE wants me to do as you say Deb, possibly reach a soul or two? Of course they ike my presentation and only like me at those times.
Rodger,
I am very happy for you that you have no problems with this issue in your life, and I am glad that you are grown up in this area of spirituality; I have not arrived where you are yet, so please be patient with me as I try to put away childish things! Thank you for your input and Yes, that scripture blairs out to me to0; but, so does the scripture that says that we are to be the salt of the earth (thanks Bev) and to let our lights shine before men; so how do you see this? Obviously God has put me in this group and has not allowed me to leave yet for a reason...I am still trying to take HIS lead here.
blessings to all of you!

Rodger,
I am with you on the fact that I left the church just a year ago and I have no desire what so ever ot go back, ever join a church again, or ever have a denominational label over my head again. Some of my relatives and friends are still in church, but they know that I do not agree with them and that I am very confident in my stance. I tell them that I have never been happier, and they can see it! I am not and I do not want to be caught up in the evil that abounds in the churches either, I doesn't matter to me anymore of what goes on there...it is where satan dwells for sure. (and I too, haven't celebrated their pagan holidays in many, many years.) God has blessed me greatly to have come out of her
Good point with the compraison of what churches do today as being no different than what went on in the dark ages, the Salem witch hunts, and the holocaust, (what is McCartism?, did I miss something here?)
Yes, of course I will rebuke and try and teach those who are not teaching sound doctrine; but, the problem is, the homeschoolers are not talking scriptures with me, they will not get into it with me; the groups is all about schooling/education with me (not with others) ...we are just not good enough for them according to them.
Now my son wants to go and see what they are going ot be showing...I am tempted to use it for a teaching tool for him so that HE can see how deeply his homeschool aquaintances believe in this junk.
Please continue to pray for my eyes to open and for wisdom here (b//c obviously it has more to do with than just their play on hell: I'm talking 10 years more of being around them so b/c we co-op and share education in a large group of kids. :-\)

Rodger,
Thank you for your reply; I thought you meant McCarthyism, but wanted to make sure.
Also, it is my understanding that here in Texas that when one is considered a PRIVATE SCHOOL, then the separation of church and state does not apply. (The homeschools in Texas are actually considered to be PRIVATE SCHOOLS- as far as legal definitions are concerned then my family is actually a private school. Thus, since LHSA (lubbock HomesSchool Association) is considered a christian homeschool support group, not a private christian 'school'; just a support group. But, I will make a call to the homeschool legal defense and see if this is something that pertains to me having any rights or not. Thankyou for this input, we shall see.
Thank you for your prayers too; as I still am blinded as to wether to be sepratists with this group or to just be a prat of their classes only (b/c not I have no desire to be with them one on one anymore and I certainly will not offer them the truth without seeing some seriousness on their parts to learn the truth. (Yesterday, they chose to not be around me so three, maybe 4 families went bowling instead of rollerskating b/c they thought that we would be there! I think what has happened too is that one of the mothers has gossipped about an incident that she and I disagreed upon and now those other three families and kids choose to stay away from me in any situation except for schooling events, due to listening to incorrect info from this one woman; thus, no social opportunities for my son and his old little buddies anymore; now that ticks me off /b/c they know that he has limited social opportunities at this time.) I see homeschooling as being in the world, but not of the world, and that socializing with other homeschool kids is just that...socialization, not personal fellowshipping.
i don't know why this is so difficult for me to get through. Please keep praying, b/c I can't offer my child many other socialization opportunities with kids of his age at this time.

Hello Susan
Sounds to me like you and your son are being dragged! What a blessing! Consider the opposite.
Imagine if you were to write to us like this...that you are so comfortable with your pagan hethen group of friends. That you pride yourself on high levels of tolerance and that you are able to "fellowship" with everyone and that the world just loves you. That you belong.
Okay I know this is like a drop in the ocean but hope it helps to comfort you in this trial. Consider the opposite. God is the master planer for your life and for the future of your son.
Our life situations are very difficult but they do come TO PASS.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Yep, You are right Arcturus; I have very little tolerance for their musings, and I am not considered a part of their clique. So true...we are being dragged; but this situation will come to pass. My child keeps asking to go to see the play, so I will take him so that it will be a great learning esxperience for him to see, hear, feel, etc..and learn of false doctrine first hand (of one of the worst possible false doctrines in all of human history!.) This will be Saturday afternoon...I will keep you informed of what we encounter...it should be interesting. I think that Anne might come along too. They had a reharsal play on Tuesday and I read all of the GREAT email reviews by the parents of the hs kids. They coudln't say enough good aboout it!!!! ;)( 8) 8) 8) 8) 8))
