umm quick question Brian, who are you to question him? you are NO authority over him whatsoever i have my fair share of stories from public school and Christian school. Does it make you feel big and smart to talk to him or anyone like that!?! it really gets annoying and i would appreciate it if you acted you age. woah buddy, cool your jets. I was merely asking him what those stories were for. Looking back I see how it can be taken the wrong way, but simply didn't understand what it was about seeing as how i havent been on here in a while. So uh lay off. And, I'm allowed to share my input about things that happen at Christian schools too. Don't always assume the worst. P.S sorry J.C if it came across the way Tommy took it, I honestly just wondered what it was about.

It's np Brian. I honestly didn't think about the other possibility until I saw Tommy complaining about it. Guess we each take stuff a different way. The main reason I posted this though is because the youth documentary had started, what, a month ago? And how far has it gotten? Nowhere. I was mainly trying to stimulate it a bit the only way I could think of, a post on the forum. But if you have any stories you could share please post them. Just try to pick a normal one, nothing out of the ordinary. This was a very run of the mill day and I did my best to remember everything verbatim... Didn't work very well I must admit. I remember a few more things now so I'm gonna go and update it.

Hmm, interesting. I kinda thought that you were posting like a witness story or something, and I didn't get it. I have alot of general stories that I could possibly remember from the Christian school, but not alot of specifics anymore. I mean it has been like 3 years now since i've been there. I do have one witnessing story though.
We had a kid in our class who didn't believe in God, and most of the kids in the school thought he was strange and tried to stay away from him. One of my friends and I did the opposite and became good friends with him, and we tried expressing the importance of what we believed to him. By the end of our senior year he believed in God, and we helped him to work through some of his questions about God. Now, I would probably venture to say that he is a stronger Christian than most people who graduated from Meadowbrook in my class.
So I guess its important to not only make friendships with those who have the same values as yourself. Personally I regret leaving the public high school in 10th grade, because alot of my friends there whom I had influence on, have strayed alot from Christianity since the time I was at the school. Now with their values pretty firmly in place at college, it would probably be alot harder to reach them.

Yeah... I kinda worry about my witness. I mean in my school, I'm considered a diehard Christian among my friends... They said I was the only "diehard" they knew... Now as you know, I'm nothing special, and probably quite lax. So if I'm the best quality of Christian they see, they're probably lookin to me as an example. Now after swearing once in front of them (the illegitimate son) when we were playing poker, I worry that I might come across as a hypocrite. At the same time, I don't wanna come across as an insane zealot. That's been tried a few times, mostly by Christians who weren't exactly mature in their walk... Didn't turn out well.

sorry Brian, but its not like you don't have a reputation for acting certain ways....
When i went to a Christian school all the kids would swear, allot but I NEVER did and the worst i ever say now is cr*p. I was also teased and made fun of for obeying the rules. But they all talked freely and openly to me all the time.
But my last year there all of the guys i hung out with (a total of six not a big school, lol) but each one came to me and told me that i had been the best friend they ever had and that they felt that i really listened to them. They also stoped swearing for the most part. But i had an impact where i was even little kids and some of the girls would talk to me like i was their journal.

Yeah, let's get back on topic, with no quick jabs in the opening lines... Please erase them if noone else has seen them at the time you post them. Of course if someone has, save it for record keeping.

Oh wow, I totally just got why you posted those stories to begin with....Haha, I just reread the title of this thread again today and read the page description again on the youth website and it totally makes sense now. Even though I understood what you were writing in my last post, I still couldn't quite figure out how it fit into the whole youth documentary thing until just now.
.........Wow, I think I need to sleep more often.

I guess I could pull out the old Eric Draven costume (although my hair is not long enough anymore ). Remember the point is to get a good (and accurate) response to our surveys, so maybe that isn't such a good idea.

That would be scary! I remember when at camp Pastor Scott dressed up as the guy from the Matrix, then he walked out from behind a bush and scared me half to death.
