[quote:spectrum:MV8xODE5ODk0XzMwMzAxMzY5XzI4RUVEMTQ2] The point is so many people will go to extremes to instill personal principles and ways to live in their children, and others. They call personal beliefs "truth" and if you disagree, then they're being persecuted. I hope these idiots get served in court, but something tells me they may get away pretty easily. [/quote]

What the fuckity fuck...
A Pennsylvanian church has attracted a great deal of flak, and may possibly be prosecuted for subjecting members of a youth group to a mock kidnapping without telling them it was staged – and the outraged mother of one 14-year-old girl has filed a complaint with police.
According to this report, the pastor of the Glad Tidings Assembly of God in Middletown said the church is “so saddened” that the girl was traumatised following the incident last week.
But pastor John Lanza said he had received emails of support from other students at the church, about 10 miles southeast of Harrisburg, because the intent was to prepare them for what they might encounter as missionaries. He didn’t disclose the names of those involved but said the mock kidnappers included an off-duty police officer and a retired Army captain.
