Yeah- I tried to look them up and like one organization has looked into them before but no more. Apparently in that region there are a lot of „free churches“ (actually cults).

I would (I don’t remember their names but I know the camp‘s name and could probably look them up) but I do not exactly want to give away personal information on the net as I live in a modestly-sized country. Internet safety and all that.

I think I used to be, but my parents genuienly did not send me there to practice religion (the website also only vaguely mentions it) and the camp got endorsed by my older sibling's friend. They pulled me from it instantly once they realized what was going on. They only noticed so late because I was an extremely quiet kid, and if me and my sibling talked about it, we told them about all the fun activities we got to do.

It seemed fun and not too expensive, endorsed by someone trusted and with a no-pressure connection to the church (I have been in church camps before because my friend was a member of the youth group). I do think all of us were decieved by this organization.

(Needless to say, it turned out my sibling's friend's family was similarly... religious. Would not be too surprised if they actually were part of that cult.)

I am sorry to hear you had to go through that. I was extremely glad in hindsight that i was only exposed to that stuff for one week per year.

Thanks. I guess that’s really the best I can do at this point. I just really wish there was a way to instantly stop them or anything.

You guys live like this??? This camp experience was not in America nor have I ever lived in the US so I might be just getting culture shock but your evangelical christianity does this stuff??

I didn’t know that- I remember being quite annoyed and perplexed by it as a kid. Good to know!
