This is an example of abuse, something which is not confined to religion. There is nothing in Christianity that remotely condones or encourages this, instead it is in the mind of the family who would have attached themselves to any ideology anyway.

It's mental Illness and the religion is immaterial.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

absolutely, but as Gary L says - these people are hiding behind 'religion' as reasoning for their abuse towards their children. this sort of thing gives other religious people and groups a bad name, especially when the 'one-size-fits-all' brigade come out. ( and before anyone says, no - that was not aimed at anyone here!!!)

The father said pointing at the Bible. it says to teach the children diligently.

Still nothing to do with the religion itself and everything to do with the mind of these people. If this were a religious thing surely there would be more cases of it? :rolleyes:

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

You have a point really. I mean when can it be seen as extreme, to the point of being called a mental illness?
I've always said that because it's God that is being taught then it's never looked at in the welfare of the children. but if it was something else, would the welfare be considered from outside?

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

The BBC did a documentary entitled "Deborah 13: Servant of God". I think it is a GREAT example of how children should be raised in the ways of the Lord. She is turning out to be a great witness for only being 13 years old. It moves me to tears of joy to see her love for the Lord and concern for the lost.


i think this is a great example of why some people should not be allowed access to children there's or any one else's , send in social services i say and end this now.
i feel so sad for these children .

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Problem is ... the 'brain washings' done, she will have children of her own and do exactly the same to them.

I see no difference between Deborahs family and the Phelps of "God hates fags" fame.

But religions a good thing .... isnt it?

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

And to think this religion influences world leaders. You can thank your God for that.

I saw 2 quad bikes while I've been out. the noise of them was unbelievable. they're ok as long as everyone doesn't get one.

As long as they're not hurting anybody :)

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Chose not to watch this programme, as they actually upset me!

The small boy, in the last one to be televised, age 5 and a preacher at his local American Church was the last one of these type of TV shows I watched.

I am sure most folk realise these type of parents are extreme, and actually not what Christian parents are all like!

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Some people really shouldnt be parents.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Just been watching this again. is Deborah's older brother. the one she went to the city with, gay or just camp?

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

i'll order a large sack of coal -that boys going to hell:D

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Does it matter to their religion if he was gay? I know he said something about he cringes when girls come up to him, and he said he doesn't approve of dancing to the song "I kissed a girl"

is that because of being against gays or just kissing girls? :)

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

he's probably the worlds first homophobic camp guy ;)
