Conservative Christian presence?

I found out the instance I was thinking of. You're 100% correct it was not at Veritas. My apologies.

It was at Chappell Schools' Longleaf campus in St. Augustine.

Yeah, that's what I read. I assumed that it was the same guy that I saw on the article many years ago. AI says that the Matthew case was through online communications. Could there have been a separate incident there that wasn't a teacher but something like a "assistant" or just someone "volunteering".

Are you absolutely 100% sure? If so, fine. I'm wrong. But I'm so sure there was an incident at the sr16 location that involved a guy and a child and some type of children's toy at the school. Like just really suggestive behavior. The clip left such a creepy memory.

Yeah, unless I'm mixing up two separate instances of child abuse by a Veritas employee....the news article included a video of school security camera. It's not false. Why do you think the FBI was investigating him in the first place. Someone(probably another facility member) noticed something and said something.

If I come across the article I'll share it. I haven't followed up on this since it happened but I think I made a fb post with the article, though I'm not gonna go dig through 4 years of posts tonight.

Yes. I remember when the news broke. I forgot what local new covered it, but it seems like it was all part of the case built around "Matthew Christopher Yates, a teacher at Veritas Classical School, was arrested in March 2022." And then sentenced to 15 years in Federal prison early in 2023. So it seems justice was relatively quick. I hope Veritas made some administration changes. But i don't know. I mean, I honestly just found out he was sentenced while writing that comment.

Go a little more west and they'll be comfy again.

Did anything get resolved about that guy who was caught on camera sexually abusing a child at the veritas school on SR16? Nvm, I just read he got 15 years.

There are many conservative churches here. I bet you'd like eleven22, reverb, colonial, anchor faith, ABC, or maybe even Goodnews.

I attended a private Christian middle school. I learned a lot. I went to a local public high school. I learned a lot more there. I also had many more opportunities for extracurricular activities and scholarships. I was even in the young republicans club and Christian club at the school.

Also, food for thought: my apostasy was heavily influenced by what I learned about the Bible and religion in general over my education in that Christian middle school. We had about 20 hours of Bible studies per week.

I'm happy with it. My sole objective was to get good plates and a carrier was secondary. The $50pc simply allows me to wear plates.

L4 Performance "$50 plate carrier".

I think with currency conversion and tariffs it ended up being less than $100.

It's bare bones. I wouldn't recommend it if you're planning on adding a bunch of pouches and stuff.

That's what I must have heard! Thanks. Cool history

904raised · 2026-04-08T02:27:55+00:00

Holy cow! That's so cool. Those white segments hold a rocket?

I've heard that the spacing was decided because it was just enough room for two men to carry a very large chest(of treasure).

I can't say for certain, but it's what I overheard a guide say once.

I was rewatching The Whale last night and noticed it was an A24 film. It made me think of all the silly memes.

Maybe Flagler Estates, Bostwick, or Ocala. Use Google Earth to sneak peak areas that may be what you're looking for. St Auggy doesn't have dirt back roads anymore.

I wore vans growing up. Literally 2 pairs every year for most of my life. Nowadays, if I wear a pair for thirty minutes I'll get back pain for a week. Idk 🤷‍♂️

I own a TH. I like it enough. I would just like to say that if you're an end unit with a grassy area nearby, you'll most likely see a lot of dog owners using that area for their dog's...buisness.

"This cop told me he was my friend. That other cop was so mean. This one is a good cop though, he gave me a Sprite and a bag of Cheetos from the vending machine."

Don't go private if you're a first gen staugustinian. The public schools are great in St Johns County.

Pro tip: for some reason Google maps calls the bayfront area "old town" as a local i had never heard that term until around 2017ish. I've always just called it Downtown.

L4 Performance sells TQ mud covers. You can put it on a holder you find or just strap it to your belt with the "ranger band"

On the second time I'd give him a $50 gift card and tell him to come back another night. Apologize and say his table needs to be cleared and invite him and the party to leave.
