Secret Confessions

[Edited Because I Fracking Can]

Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).

This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".

If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).

Thank you!

I know we live in the Bible Belt, but do you have to ruin my sister by sending her to this school? Let her make her own decisions.

[Megan (Fishy)]

Catholic school or something?

 

No matter what, don't worry. It won't magically convert her to anything, she'll still have a choice... depending on her personality type, it could even drive her away from church in general, if it's a very strict school and she's a very non-religious person.

 

And private schools (generally, not always) offer better educations and student/teacher ratios than public. Don't worry.

Christian school. "Christian Acadamy."

 

But I don't want to put her through that.

There's a Christian Academy right by my house. Weird kids. Bad uniforms.

Is it exactly what it says on the tin -- producing an army of Christians?

 

Because "Christian Academy" reminds me of "Military Academy".

[Julie]

Way too small to be an army. xD It's a school of like 200 or something.

I went to a school with Faithful Companions of Jesus in the name.

Honestly, there are still heaps of atheists and agnostics, most don't attend church every week even. But, the education quality is better, and the only difference is you have a class on religion, which is just interesting really. Like we used to discuss abortion, and gay marriage, and generally people were rather open minded on all those sorts topics. 

[Secret Confessor]

But I don't want her to be brainwashed. I mean, I'm okay if she decides she's Christian. I just don't want her to be forced into it.

[o0_flying high_0o]

I know. 

I'm just saying sending someone to a Christian school doesn't make them Christian, or even put them in an environment without other perspectives. 

[Megan (Fishy)]

That doesn't always mean what it sounds like.

 

There's a school in my city called "Carden Christian Academy," and they just put a little more focus on the religion side of it than we did (I went to its sister-school.) They were still really accepting and everything, and it wasn't super-religious, and it's not as if you got kicked out for not being Christian.

 

Unless the school is unusually strict, it'll be fine. She might even like it.

[Secret Confessor]

That's what this one is called too! But I don't know anything about it. "Christian Acadamy" sounds bad. And I just want her to be able to choose.

[Megan (Fishy)]

...seriously? XD That's awesome, then.

 

Do some research on the school. If it's really Carden, go here.

 

(Also you could ask me. Just, saying. XD)
