They would start off OK, then somehow weird stuff would happen and sour me on them. ie) lesbian minister putting a pass on my sister at one, and another one where they decide to start only doing 'fun activities' with the girls and sent all the boys to a back room with nothing to do in there.
Then there was this other-one that seemed somewhat cult-like. They had some sort of point/store system of which you would earn points for being able to recite certain passages correctly, lots of points for getting other kids to join / etc. It was all to preechy-cult-like-brainwashing for me - I was only like 8 at the time but it still sat wrong with me. |
See those things would totally turn me off as well. I had a very good upbringing within the church, and while I don't go to church anymore, and haven't for years, I have nothing but good memories.
I think the Sound Ministry has some potential and is a great idea. Also a nice thing to give underage kids something different to do and keep them out of trouble. But as you mentioned...weird things could happen. It really depends on the people running the show.
