How can this life be a fair test if it is so dependent on parents conditioning their children?

Indoctinate your kids... grrrrrr

-10 for not calling out Indoctrination.

-10 for saying that 8 year olds "choose" baptism.

My children aren't leaving the church (and religion) because they "weren't far enough in." Their generation is leaving because THE CHURCH (and organized religion) HAS NOTHING TO OFFER THEM.

Do some research, lady. Maybe pick up that book by Jana Reiss.

-10 for "the adversary" (oooh no not the boogie man under the bed)

-10 for encouraging scrupulosity

The hell with it, I'm gonna go fold laundry. Do you know how bad a talk has to be for me to see laundry as the better alternative?

Children have to be told what and why they believe? How about a discussion of epistemology.

Role playing? Good God.

Dammit! For a split second I thought she was going to give a groundbreaking talk about the horrors of child abuse. Ummm...but no.

At least it's her and not Craven

"What to do if someone offers you coffee or porn."

What kind of f*cked up religion sees coffee as the moral equivalent of SHOWING PORNOGRAPHY TO CHILDREN.

I’m more concerned about my kids not being racists homophobic mysogynistic bigots rather than if they have a glass of wine or not.

-100 for not far enough in.

Drill instructors? This can't be what she's suggesting for good parenting. -50.

This is a pretty intense story to tell primary kids. damn.

Oh this is a train wreck!

It sounds like this talk is going to put more pressure on DW, who is already wanting our 8 year old to be 'more in' with the church.

Sigh.

I'm feeling stressed just listening to this drivel.

More battle/war language to preach the gospel (aka good news).

Hmmm forcing someone to do what you want? I don't think it was the Lord who suggested that plan.
