Battlecry..... is it similar to the Hitler Youth Movement?

[Proud_Democratt]

BattleCry is a part of the evangelical organization Teen Mania, and you can learn a lot about the kind of society that Teen Mania is fighting for by reading up on its Honor Academy, a non-accredited educational institution that offers directed internships to 700 undergraduate and graduate youth each year. Among the academy’s tenets: Homosexuality and masturbation are sins. Interns are forbidden to listen to secular music, watch R-rated movies or date; men can’t use the Internet unsupervised; the length of women’s skirts is regulated. The logic behind this—that men must be protected from the sin of sexual temptation—is what drives Islamic fundamentalists to shroud women in burkhas!

Teen Mania and BattleCry are multimillion-dollar operations that send more than 5,000 missionaries to more than 34 countries each year. Their supporters and members are some of the most powerful and extreme religious lunatics in the country. BattleCry’s “partners” include Pat Robertson (who got a call from Karl Rove to discuss Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito before the nomination was made public), Charles Colson (who as President Richard Nixon’s lawyer was knee-deep in the Watergate scandal and who went to jail for obstruction of justice in the Pentagon Papers case), and Jerry Falwell (who blamed Sept. 11 on homosexuals, feminists, pagans and abortionists). BattleCry’s events have been addressed by former First Lady Barbara Bush (via video) as well as former President Gerald Ford. This weekend’s event will include Franklin Graham, who has ministered to George W. Bush and publicly proclaimed that Islam is an “evil religion.”

2. If someone is looking over their shoulders when they use the internet

who is checking them to make sure they don't masturbate?

3. Keep your sons and daughters away.

I grew up in a very, very fundie boarding school and this seems even worse. At least we could watch tv and listen to the radio. Excecpt after chruch because the message of God was to sink in and not be corrupted by rock 'n roll. I actually had an adult say that to me but I said something smart like: This music does not interfere with what I learned. Christian rock? What a joke, I hate it more than fingernails on a blackboard. A few years ago on vacation in Sequoia Nat'l Park we took a road that led down to a lake and a bunch of christian teens were there and it felt very strange and scary but we went into the store and I asked if they sold cigerettes and the look I got...well, we hightailed it out of there mighty quick. I mean, what if they kidnapped and brainwashed me all over again!!! Wink!

11. Creepy

Very creepy. But Hitler Youth was compulsory from 1936 onward. I won't worry too much about these freaks until they are compulsory.

Masturbation is a sin? Let's see how far they get with THAT one!

LOL

12. They want abstinence...and then don't want them to masterbate.

:wtf: With all those raging hormones, what are they supposed to do?

[Proud_Democratt]

15. It is creepy...and not a

far cry from the Nazi-Germany era either.
