many times young people are so sheltered they have no clue of the real world at 19....I don't know if this is the case here...that's why i'm asking...

When I was 19, I was preaching revivals all over the place...so I do relate with your analogy...but not every young man is ready to stand on his own at 19....

Is it a crime to ask this of him?

Apparently it is a huge insult to show concern. Twilight Zone time.

All posters should keep this in mind. We must be sensitive to the fact that some of the posters here are not preachers, some are not seasoned saints, some are not even adults!!

It bothered me when I realized that BK is a teenager! I realized that before he posted his age that's why I asked. The dialog on this forum...and putting young people like himself in a position to defend their pastors, their faith, and for some their parents..could be too much for the age level.

I want to know if BK's parents know of this activity and if they would in fact approve of him being here--even though this forum would not be blocked by a filter!!

we can call his parents?

Brad,

Dont worry about what these people are saying, dont argue with them, you believe what you want, just dont judge anyone. Let them believe what they want. Don't argue with these people just have good discussion and when it gets into an argumentive spirit just leave it alone. Not worth your time.

Take your dad out and school him in some hoops for me.

Lol, thanks Chris! And I certainly don't want to have a judgemental attitude! And I think i'll take your advice and take my dad out back! Lol, now that he broke his foot! I shall walk away from this on this note, some adults are too immature to argue with!

If he were a 19 year old...totally out on his own...maybe I'd see it differently.

Actaully I'm smarter than most kids at my age! Did you pay your own bills at the age of 19? Did you have to pay rent for a place? I don't! Me=smarter! And I also own my own business! Did you?

Nope, no crime committed! But I grew up in the minstry, my grandpa is a pastor as well as my dad! Hey, when you have to pay for your own gas, isn't that an intro into the real world? =D

DO THEY KNOW THAT HE IS ENGAGED IN TOPICS--OFT TIMES WITH PEOPLE TWICE HIS AGE--THAT ARE IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO SOME OF THE MAIN STANDS HIS DAD TAKES?

AND ARE THEY AT ALL CONCERNED THA IT COULD RAISE SOME DOUBTS IN HIS YOUNG MIND?

NO SIR!! My feet are planted and I plan to stay that way!

We can sit on the bottom row of the grandstands right at the entrance of the turn 1 and get splattered with mud when the sprint cars kick out sideways going into the turn. it's lots of fun! had fun the couple of times I was in Ventura doing craft shows and went to there races there. Small track but good racing. Lots of good beer fights in the grandstands too. haha

Ah man, if I lived there I would be there! I like dirt track racing.

This is a real shame. Sounds like a kid who just loves to mooch off of mom and dad which is worse than most immaturity we have seen so far! Well the bible says to honor our mother and father and running down everything they have and spending all of their money I dont think is what He had in mind when he gave that commandment! Yea your smart sure... You go right on ahead there and think that... Thats about the stoopidist thing I have ever heard!

We were married when my husband was 19! Talk about a jolt into the real world!
