Most of the homeschoolers I know are non-denominational.

I didn't know you homeschooled.

The news recently mentioned their son, who was just married in October, is expecting there first sometime in May. If you due the math you see that she must have gotten pregnant on their wedding night or within the first week. Now we will see if she follows the "9 months pregnant, 2 months NOT, repeat" pattern.

October to May is only 7 months. 
I just looked it up...their baby is due this coming October.

Ahhhh, ok
I was going to say that that unchaperoned drive-in movie two months before the wedding was probably a bad idea after all........

That is excellent. I love to find other Apostolics who have taken on homeschooling. Sometimes it seems like a foreign notion in our ranks. My husband would say that too many parents are perfectly satisfied to send their kids to "government school."

LOL!!!! Did they really have an unchaperoned date, or did you make it up?

FWIW. We've been homeschooling for almost 13yrs. One graduated and in college, and a couple more to go.

That's awesome. I wonder how many homeschoolers we have on the AFF. I should start a poll....

I saw an episode (or part of one) where their Baptist faith and traditions were the focus of a segment. They seem like nice people, nuts... but nice.

I'm satisfied. But then again, our local high school has been "School of the Year" nationally twice in the last decade and the last principal was the nationwide "Principal of the Year."
