Just think what we're going to do when we cut down on those building funds and start channeling the money into charity!crittermerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753692874513835573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-1161902737009120342006-10-26T18:45:00.000-04:002006-10-26T18:45:00.000-04:00I will confess--I am totally out of the loop--I ha...I will confess--I am totally out of the loop--I had no idea parents were spending that kind of money on teen birthday parties. Very sad.<BR/><BR/>I am with you Tony, what a great way to take action by this pastor. I am afraid all too often I just lament--no action ever involved.<BR/><BR/>I just can't imagine a sane parent doing a party like this for their child--but it looks like it does happen. =-(jettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351615360394477260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-1161805252168902062006-10-25T15:40:00.000-04:002006-10-25T15:40:00.000-04:00I just took a brief look at Red Bird Mission's web...I just took a brief look at Red Bird Mission's website. I'm amazed at all that they are doing for the local people. Meeting people's practical needs--that's real discipleship. That's the kind of "witnessing" that Christians should be doing. Surely this isn't the only program of its kind. Why don't we hear about this stuff?JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-1161804615977864722006-10-25T15:30:00.000-04:002006-10-25T15:30:00.000-04:00Ha!

That girl is going to go through lots of boyfriends before she finally finds a rich sugar daddy who's 25 years older than her and more than willing to indulge her so that he can have a trophy wife.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-1161802323465361302006-10-25T14:52:00.000-04:002006-10-25T14:52:00.000-04:00That is one thing that is actually wonderful about...That is one thing that is actually wonderful about the article, the fact the minister was appalled by the same thing, but decided he would take some action to counter it rather than just lament it.<BR/><BR/>The world has gone crazy with greed and excess, but there are concrete ways disciples of Christ can counter the effects.<BR/><BR/>On the disgusting note, can you imagine how sad a life this poor girl is going to have now? If you get $100,000 dollars lavished on you for your 15th birthday, what else can top that? Every other event will be a disappointment.<BR/><BR/>I pity the man that has to marry this girl--her parents are creating one high maintenance individual.<BR/><BR/>TonyTony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-1161797375935959362006-10-25T13:29:00.000-04:002006-10-25T13:29:00.000-04:00I'm struck by the idea of parents throwing birthda...I'm struck by the idea of parents throwing birthday parties for their kids that run in the tens of thousands of dollars. (I don't even like the idea of a wedding costing that much.) What is the point of this? I've never seen the TV show referenced in the article, but I can imagine the content considering that it's shown on MTV. <BR/><BR/>What is this teaching young people today? Is this what young people are attaining to now--lives of lavish waste? How sad for our society.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.com
