My brother got put through one of these fake terrorist attacks at a summer camp back in the late eighties. These assholes have been doing this to generations of children for decades just trying to inflict fear.

on your post must be a somewhat common practice.

In Boy Scouts at a camp.

Though both cases were less severe than this.

LOL,,

Thats the story I want to see...

Mock terrorist raid by church turns deadly when children kill attackers

Any adult who thought this was a good idea really does need to be prosecuted and banned from contact with youths and youth ministry permanently.

I think there are more than enough scary news stories and horrible pictures of missionaries who've been beaten, shot execution style or hacked up with machetes that the pastors could have communicated the danger and hardships without kidnapping the kids.

What if one of the kids caused some real harm to themselves or the fake kidnappers by putting up extreme resistance?

If I were that church's insurance company I'd be cancelling their liability policies post haste.

the church leaders. I hope they get sent away for a long long time!

I get the PN 7 days a week. Their on-line edition leaves a lot to be desired. Often when I want to reference something from an article, I can find the on-line equivalent but it doesn't include the paragraph I want to reference so I have to run upstairs (to the master bathroom of course) to grab the paper to make sure I get the quotes and names correct.

But back to your point, the fact that they filed charges against the church is key here. That's a very unusual step, but definitely appropriate in this case. Hopefully it will serve as a warning to other cult churches. I live near the River of God church in Enola and, as you probably read, there was a case not long ago of a pedophile serving as a youth teacher there. I've been accosted on my bicycle by guys from that church trying to induct me into their "culture" and join their bike club. We constantly get shit stuffed into our door handle from them. On the plus side, the dogs scare them off so they don't try to engage in conversation.

Back when I was 11 or 12 years old, a local movie theater advertized a "motorcycle action" movie.
Free!

Us kids were eager to see it.

Turned out to be one of those lurid "Endtimes" movies, and after they had a fire-and-brimstone preacher.
And they wouldn't let us leave.

Parents raised a stink, but the church (one of those traveling ones,) never did admit doing anything wrong, naturally.

Several years later I saw in the news the church group had broken apart, due to a sex and money scandal.

Good.

I hope this indictment ends up with the head pastor and that "youth pastor" going to jail, and that church closing up due to bankruptcy from parents' lawsuits.

I'll agree with tax-exempt status for the first type, but not for the other two.

Found it..
