And about your point... Of course no one would want to go there the way u put it and u could have put " I heard from someone that they don't do such and such" ... This pastor and church are not control freaks like u made it sound. and I
would be careful to talk about some of Gods people like that. How would u like it if some people were saying stuff about your church that was not true just because they heard it from someone in your church?
she was a teen I believe.

The way I put it? Yes I heard they didn't allow Internet. Why is that surprising? I know for a fact some churches preach against internet just as they do against TV.

I also never said anyone was a control freak. Now you are just putting words in my mouth. Wow.

Are you saying you know for fact they allow TV now? Why not just be upfront with this person? She was asking, why hide it?

Yeah I heard they did not allow internet for the youth. Oooooo wow. Big deal. You act like I accused the pastor of adultery or something. They are still a very conservative church and this person wants to know what kind of church it was. Why try to cover that fact up? ok so what if they do allow internet and this Pentecostal girl from that church was wrong?

Or maybe it was something else, they did not allow them to visit forums, the point is it's a very conservative church and thats what she wanted to know. There is no need to become belligerent
