Young Christians' Weekend
March 28 - March 30, 2008
There's No Such Thing As Maximum Capacity In Heaven!
For all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:13
Join thousands of teens from across the nation at the Midwest's premier Christian youth event! Praise the Lord with amazing concerts from some of the most popular names in Christian rock, and hear inspirational messages from the most respected youth speakers of our time.
All of this, plus two straight days of fun at Silver Dollar City! Brave the swoop factor at The Giant Swing, launch from 0 to 53 mph in 2.8 seconds on the explosive PowderKeg® and fly through the treetops aboard WildFire®. All your favorite rides, restaurants and attractions are waiting for you, right here at Silver Dollar City's Young Christians' Weekend!
Wonder why they don't plan one in some poverty stricken part of the world? Some of these conferences are no more than a fashion shows for ladies and gossip centers for preachers…I don’t really care to go I had rather be on the mission field…but since we have to drum up support some of the family goes…Raul Jr is more the type than mom or dad.
I really don't think Jesus would be all involved in the politics of religion that goes on today...His style would not make Him a popular speaker...sandals and a beard????Taking time to speak to the women and children??? He didn't fit their Talmud thinking in His day and would not fit it today...
However business as usual will be carried on in the midst of a time where millions are hungry for the bread of life. Most prefer inside the castle...all those dirty hungry people of our world are not seen inside...
Sounds like a real burden for souls doesn't Sis.
Have you seen some of the pricey fashions their wives and daughter's wear?
I think you all have the wrong picture in your mind of the men who have formed this group.
JMHO... but I am not aware that the majority stand against Branson or Six Flags over where ever or any other "Family" entertainment venue.
My impression when I read the footnote was that they were saying we will be there right BEFORE the busy season starts so the traffic won't be quite as bad and the weather (hopefully) will be getting pretty nice.
I guess it is all in how you look at folks and what you expect to see when you look. Whether looking for good or bad usually neither is disappointed.

Bro. Phil...I was trying to say this...my loophole comment was TIC and I should have marked it so.....
These men that i know of have never preached against amusement parks and other family oriented venues as such...some of them won't go to the country music shows but they will do Dixie stampede, and Silver Dollar City...most of them that i know have no beef with most of the Branson shows and attractions...
Bro. Price preached against golf (at least for a time)...but he would not boycott General Conference just because the town had a golf course in it...LOL

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Bro Booker has no issues letting his saints and boys goto IMax. But he preaches against Video. Go figure.

Bro Phil... the above is the reason I didn't comment. But I do have a question... Why is there such a difference (and this isn't for the general fodder, but I'm sure it will attract some) between going to watch a hockey game or bowling... than going to an amusement park? There are still going to be woman with tank tops and low cut shirts, and short shorts. There will still be the group of young people with foul mouths...
In my opinion you can't completely cut yourself off from the sinful world unless you stay home from all of these places and work from home as well. I just can't figure out the difference. And I'm not picking in the least. I know this will be fodder.. but really, what is your opinion?

I believe you have succeeded in putting me on the spot!
What you have pointed out is, in my opinion, one of the glaring inconsistencies in the defacto rule book. That said, I believe many of them are opposed to the open consumption of alcohol and some are opposed to the competition and violence aspects of the athletic events... especially your national sport, Hockey! AS for bowling, not too many are opposed to the sport as much as the sometimes unsavory environment of some bowling alleys... drinking and such. Many churches I am aware of rent part of a bowling alley for events. Others don't oppose bowling in the more "family focused" lanes.
I imagine that by now you have figured out that I do not have a good answer to the question you have posed. Therefore I am going with the traditional response... just obey your pastor's teaching and all will be well... don't ever go and you won't know what you are missing. If those two don't get the job done... I am totally worthless!

Thank you for answering. I asked you, because I've read most of your posts since joining the forum and you (among some others) are one of the most balanced, well rounded, sensible and wise posters here.
You (along with others too) are who you are, stand for what you stand for, without being critical and/or condecending to those who don't agree.
So thank you again for your response. I value your opinion.
