[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm ok with my kids visiting and spending time with just about any religious group. They've been to Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, New Thought, Jewish, many different Protestant, ....even Hare Krishna services.  But I draw the line at anything Southern Baptisty. I grew up in that cult and don't want my kids associated with that type of hate.  And unfortunately, when I was in school, young life was exactly that. I would find out more, OP.  Maybe it's different now. [/quote]

+1. I grew up Catholic in the South and was “recruited” and this was my experience— 25 years ago.  As with PPs, no idea today.  And it being in the South lent itsself to pushing the fanatic brand of God and Guns Christianity.  So the DMV is likely different.

But in general, hard sells and “campaigners” pushing for new members a month in by a social or religious social group would be a red flag to be that they want your kids money, or soul, or both. And I’m a great believer in mom intuition.  If you think something is off, it’s usually because something is off.

Are they associated with a specific church or campus?  There has to be an adult somewhere supervising college kids. Maybe start there? [/quote]
