Besides if your kids go off to be educated they leave God and church so to protect them they should only go to a church school staffed by uneducated people for just as long as the law requires.

Then they should get married and seek whatever jobs they can get and their pastor approves of where they live.
CC1 your TIC post is not to far off from the truth, of our not distant past.

My first pastor did not much approve of college, secular or bible. We should go to the University of Downonmykneespraying. his kids dropped out of high school at age 16

When I told my second pastor that I wanted to take a leave from my job and go to college full time I was told he couldn't afford to be without my tithes. This was in a pretty large UPC.

He, my second pastor, also was warry of letting us go to college. His fear was that we would be swayed by the godless teaching we'd receive in college.

Am I bitter...maybe a little. Basically I feel violated, much like you would if you came home and found you had been robbed.
