🙄more scarey, whacked out💩! My mind boggles at people who are so gullible to fall for this dangerous nonsense. And to allow the brainwashing of their children...Disturbing
My public school education, which I received a few decades ago in Omak, when the school district was barely funded, is the greatest gift I was ever given. I went on to eventually earn my doctorate in my profession. Our public schools can do amazing things for our children. I find it a strange notion to think that children are indoctrinated in public schools because they encounter other children from different backgrounds. I see Grace City’s school as indoctrinating the kids by presenting a singular point of view that doesn’t allow for exploration of alternative ideas. In the 10 years of university education I didn’t feel I was indoctrinated, but I did encounter many different kinds of people, ideas, points of view, that have made me more open to the idea that world is not a narrowly focused place & that my ideas are not the only ones that matter nor should they be imposed on everyone around me for me to live happily in my community. I don’t think of university as a liberal place, so much as a plural place. If being open-minded or fair-minded makes me liberal then so be it. In the GCC world view knowledge is not power, it is a threat.
Christian Nationalism and a prosperity gospel preacher in the White House empowers these fanatical sects to multiply and prey on gullible and desperate people. The Trump administration clearly are not Christian, regardless of their public prayers or push for political religion. It is just another method of control. They hate and punish truth because what people BELIEVE is far more advantageous to their self-serving agenda...power and wealth.
How did we get two big cults in our community at the same time? Common sense isn’t so common anymore. The poor children, they are going to need a lot of counseling as adults to break free of the brainwashing.
Okay, maybe take this with a grain of salt. Part of it may be just the locally grown rural tendency toward fundamentalism, happens everywhere, and part of it may be that Seattle pushes out this kind of crazy as intolerable, so we have two strains where most places really would only have one.
Also, there's nothing here to inoculate against it like a large, welcoming UMC or Episcopalian congregation. Most churches here are small and insular. The lack of Black churches (think Sen. Warnock's church in Atlanta) also removes a potentially protective element against these kind of cults.
Low educational attainment in adults could play a role as well. Trump loves the poorly educated for a reason.
She really loves playing the victim doesn't she? Even making up lies in desperation for more feelings of righteousness. The leaders are loving every minute of it. They get to play with other peoples hard earned money and buy land, build stuff, and probably pocket some for themselves. My ex wife teaches and takes our kids to this school. Huge emphasis on conservative ideals and every paper is patriotism propaganda. You know how these types love their flags. As if we can't enjoy our beautiful country without guns, war, and fascism.
Oh look, another end times apocalyptic death cult starting in our own backyard. The New Apostolic Reformation folks are strong in our Congress. They believe that it is right and godly to lie to others in their quest to bring the Kingdom of God to Earth. They are playing a game, not just with their own lives, but the lives of all of us at this point. Christians are not 2nd class citizens. Being told you cannot impose your beliefs in a country with freedom of religion is not persecution, it’s the law. But living in a country with religious freedom is not enough in their reckoning, what they want is religious privilege: for their version. Other Christian’s are not safe from these folks. In fact, they will be considered apostates which is worse than being a non-believer. You’re a heretic.

This motivates me to get funding for a secular private school where we can spare our children all this stupid nonsense. Make America Normal Again.
dont we already have that with our public schools? Why not work to improve them?

Seattle can create their own crazies too i.e. Mars Hill church.
