"Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Sorry, but we have to start a new thread.

A few points of what is said in the film, and what I thought of it.

She's scared of going to heaven and being told when she gets there that she's been bad and has to go to hell where there's gnashing teeth.

She was asked "what if heaven doesn't exist" she said she'll die and go to the grave, and it'll be a waste of her life.

The ending is really upsetting. she's a scared girl. she doesn't know anything. all she knows is what she's been told over the years

In the film she tells people that even a little white lie means that you're going to hell. if you get killed by a car and you never asked for forgiveness before you step out in front of the car, you're going to hell.

She said a few times that it's a scary thought of going to hell for eternity.

Another thing that was said was that life on earth is nothing. it's the eternity afterwards that is important. her father said that he was teaching eternity, when asked what it was he was teaching his children.

I've just watched it on the BBC iplayer and it's quite apparent, even though Matthew is trying to integrate in to modern society, neither he, or any of his family will due to their strict religious upbringing.

The oldest is a 22 yr old woman? it would be interesting to see her. I wonder if she's broke free so to speak?

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

I wonder what makes the parents think 'God' wants her to serve him in this way? Seems to me if anyone is going to hell, it'll be the parents.

hmm reporter seems to think she should be with people her own age having sex( or it could be implied that way )

i may not agree with thier interpretation of the bible but i hardly think they can be said to be totally cut off from the real world when they have net access in thier bedrooms ( something i wont my kids have at that age lol )

yes she has a deep belief in following biblical rules but thats because shes still young later she will learn life has grey areas ( her brother seemed quite capable of saying the opposite of what he meant

lol quite amused at first clip when she asked reporter if she had lied etc but that just showed she was still young

stil wading through the other clips but i just see biased reporting with very onesided questions being asked so far

Should parents be the only ones blamed for this? It's their religion/Gods that are to blame for the poison they preach and spread like a wicked virus? It's sad to think that so many good people have been made to do so many bad things in the name of their God.

Take it away, I want nothing to do with your pathetic fanaticism! You are truly dangerous and destructive.

At the same time, I wont idly stand by and let these evil people destroy innocent lives.

She's an Evangelical Christian.....scary people.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

:clap::clap::clap::clap: With parents like this, who needs hell to frighten their children.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

Yes only the parents should be blamed imo. It's to easy and lazy to blame 'God', if he is up there he gave us free will. Yes 'God' made me do it the defence of the lunatic, wonder what the next excuse will be 'I voz only following orderz'.

Kind of reminds me of Rimmer's parents from Red Dwarf, seventh day hopists, their Bible had a misprint, instead of hope it said hop and they spent every sunday hoping.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

well what can i say
another fine example of the abuse of the young and innocent , these people will never fit in with main stream society there totally damaged imo..
and thanks to there parents they have a warped view of reality , and as for HELL those kids are living it , but mum and dad know best :rolleyes: its Gods will-blah blah -i always find it amusing how this "type of person " know exactly what there God wants , it would be quite funny if it weren't so tragic ,speaks volumes about parenting skills .:mad:

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

I think she fears hell everyday. she seems to me like she thinks she is being watched and judged everyday, and she has to show who ever's watching that she isn't going to be a bad girl and please don't send me to hell.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

and in some cases, religion and the extremes it can create.

Re: "Deborah 13: Servant of God"
 

That's where I have a problem with it. anyone old enough to have made up their own mind to follow a religion is all well and good. but Deborah and her brothers and sisters are taught it as a way of life.

and because it's God that has been taught it's seen as ok. but you have to look at the other aspects of it, where by how she has been brought up from birth, she has been denied anything else that is normal for a child to grow up with.
