The Apostolic homeschoolers in our area joined in graduation and prom exercises with the Christian School my children attended.

Really, well we wouldn't do that either.

I attended my Senior Prom (was on the Prom Court/ was Homecoming Queend too)and was Pentecostal - The entire evening was heavily chaperoned with school officials and parents. There was NO tolerance policy for alcohol, drugs and unwanted pregnancy. The only thing that was a negative was the dancing. The music was worldly (there's wordly music that is being playing in stores, restaurants and malls) Dresses that was sleeveless and low-cut (same what you see in public places) There were several of us Pentecostals there and wore very modest dresses and did not dance - enjoyed the food.

Matter of fact, the drugs, alcohol and unwanted pregnancies happened but not on Prom night.

Not sure where some of you all get your information - maybe too many movies - LOL

We have been talking about prom since this is my oldest son's senior year. He may ask to go and if he does I will not try and stop him but we will have another long talk.
I did not go to mine because I had been taught it was EVIL and I do regret it. I wanted to and did not do it for fear of hell swallowing me up immediately. From what I remember hearing though it was not PROM that was the problem it was the parties afterwards that parents supplied their kids and their kids with in a 'safe' environment that was the problem.

My son went to his Senior Prom 4 years ago and it was chaperoned by teachers and parents from beginning to end including the after prom. If you are concerned sign up to be a chaperone.

I am shocked you would even think such a thing about our conservative folk. God knows they would no more watch a movie as they would go to prom.

but give them a chance and they will go to a play where things are acted out, it is live so it is different you know.

=)
