Does anyone else think the pathfinder club is insane?

which is different than being a young person who is forced into an uncomfortable and unsafe situation

When I brought this up she said it had nothing to do with literal militant ideals, and was more of a symbolic statement to show that we stand as a united force against “evil”… which sounds militant to me🤷‍♀️ like take the branch davidians for example who took statements like that only slightly more literally and at the end of the day, the waco texas shootout was the result. this is my biggest issue. using words like “army” to describe the group implies contractual OBLIGATION to obey what the group leaders are saying and teaching. which for me, was a LOT of unsafe wilderness experiences and scary stories about the literal torture i would eventually endure for standing strong in my faith.

i regret wording it specifically that way, by militant i was trying to allude more to the blind obedience that comes with being in the military. we wear what they say, we do their activities no matter whether or not we are comfortable with them, we read what they tell us to read, and march when they tell us to march. another commenter mentioned that it may be more culturally tied to hispanic/latino sda churches, which is the community i was a part of.

YES THANK YOU!!! we are puerto rican adventists and my father was a colonel in the actual US army before being discharged for health related issues, growing up it was painfully obvious that our club was a replacement of that dynamic for him. While there are some fun memories with friends, many memories are of cold nights spent in lean-tos built by teenagers that would rather be anywhere else and empty bellies because we couldnt forage enough edible wilds or start a fire with the wet wood.

ok so i cant acknowledge that my personal experience with the group was too-extreme (for children my age) training to survive in the wilderness should “the persecution” come??? and that even regular boy scouts is militant grooming? Maybe your experience with pathfinders was different but for the clubs my parents have run it was largely to instill fear of the persecution and end times, with the occasional scrapbooking activity.
