Guest makapaka Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 It's a way of trying to get you to take your kids to church to be brainwashed under the pretence that they're playing.
SnailyBoy Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I've a feeling that teaching critical thinking will not be top of the list of activities.
teeny Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Sorry, I should have asked if anyone had first-hand experience or knew someone who had first-hand experience of the church. I am concerned that impressionable youngsters may be indoctrinated. no its all fun for families , they have a lot of games , often eat together which is something families don't do together , It encourages family to do stuff together which isnt sat on the settee playing on xbox or playstation , it also is good to show people what church is ! which isn't about the building its about people coming together as family. Its a good thing really , we have messy church in a township called Mpilo in Zimbabwe ---------- Post added 22-02-2015 at 18:48 ---------- It's a way of trying to get you to take your kids to church to be brainwashed under the pretence that they're playing. why do you think that ? churches in the past have been often classed as boring due to the forms of worship !! Its a way of showing church today ---------- Post added 22-02-2015 at 18:50 ---------- I've a feeling that teaching critical thinking will not be top of the list of activities. its not about criticism or judgement its about fun , out in Zimbabwe we have no building on mpilo but we have over 100 families who come, it helps us to identify and assist the poorest of the poor while having fun ---------- Post added 22-02-2015 at 18:51 ---------- I wonder if speaking in tongues is? as far as i am aware the gifts of the holy spirit aren't the priority

Still I suppose theres worse things they could do.
alchemist Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Not that you're not biased of course. where does it say that i am biased? If i were biased surely i would be claiming that its the best thing since sliced bread. I didnt, i pointed out that some would have an agenda, as it happens I dont because I know nothing about it and as such I advices that the OP visit and make their own mind up. I can predict the response of some posters but I wont ---------- Post added 22-02-2015 at 19:36 ---------- It's a way of trying to get you to take your kids to church to be brainwashed under the pretence that they're playing. And thanks for the confirmation

Children going to church with there parents , our family units need work as relationships in a busy world that we live in are harder because of our life styles

I know families here in the UK that they don't talk to each other children play games all the time , nothing strange about a church wanting to encourage good family relationships
