My parents let me, so I went to an odd experience wherein we had a bunch of those mini-soccer tables and some NES machines lined up against a wall in a huge otherwise boring square room with a projector on one side and filled with metal folding chairs. From what I can remember, someone came up and went on about this "devil" fellow trying to get at our precious souls, and then they played a video which was some odd B movie affair involving Satan and some other demons plotting on how to send people to hell. I don't remember much more than that I was very confused.<BR/><BR/>In retrospect I think that was my first experience with the "scare them into salvation" tactic. I was a lot more interested in the free snacks I got on the way home though.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, I've been wondering something. It seems that the word "materialist" has been hijacked. Almost all the Christians I've talked to think a materialist is someone who values physical posessions over everything else, as opposed to someone who merely thinks that there's nothing supernatural.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-59682161144429997062008-12-31T11:31:00.000-06:002008-12-31T11:31:00.000-06:00Hey!

I also didn't get the speech about child baptism. I was raised in a baptist church, so they didn't do any of that heathen bullshit. I got baptised by my own free will at the age of SIX, the way God intended.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775844624180825326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-11180962688451990162008-12-31T05:43:00.000-06:002008-12-31T05:43:00.000-06:00The term you're looking for is "strip mall".The term you're looking for is "strip mall".Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052684196866992031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-25371969288646839772008-12-31T01:43:00.000-06:002008-12-31T01:43:00.000-06:00Oh, I love the Power Team.
