Is Separating Boys and Girls a Good Idea?
 

This is an ole-time Pennycostal practice. During every service at our campground the boys sit on one side of the church, and the girls on the other. Considering our current culture, Is Separating Boys and Girls a Good Idea?

All of the games are girls vs. boys.

Boys and girls are always pitted against each other in offerings.


I personally think it is an archaic practice. One that needs to go bye-bye.

I want my boys to like girls.

Seems odd that the church wants them to stay away from each other.

Sounds innocent enough on the surface but then what next, allow the boys and girls to walk around holding hands?

Better to draw the line at complete separation and keep their minds pure and on God.

Boys... sitting next to girls...?

Oooooooooooo, you got trouble my friend! I say trouble right here in River city!

What's wrong with them holding hands?

Would we rather teach them the opposite sex is bad, bad, bad!!!!???

Re: Is Separating Boys and Girls a Good Idea?
 

It is not evil, but young men should be at the campground to learn of God. Then when faced with seducing spirits they can be pure until marriage.

This is NOT why most young people go to camp. It IS to meet and flirt with members of the opposite sex. Why do you think that the typical camp meeting can be so easily confused with a Hollywood red carpet premier (as far as cloths go)?

How sad for you and your children, I would be glad to PM you the location of some conservative camps, where the Word of God is still taught!

Re: Is Separating Boys and Girls a Good Idea?
 

Then they should have boys camp and girls camp!~

I am not serious. But, hey, boys and girls notice each other. :)

For some of the girls it is all about fashion.
