A church in Tulsa called “The Guts” (yes, the Guts) is currently featuring it’s annual Christian outreach called NIGHTMARE. Here’s the link to the promo<\/a>….<\/p>\n

But what was disheartening for me was watching the YouTube clips of those who experienced Nightmare.<\/p>\n

Like this one…
\n<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Did you catch the part where the boy talks about it being “nasty watching a girl get raped” and then the subtle giggle from the girl in the middle.<\/p>\n

And then the girl on the right says, “But at least it’s teaching us a lesson.”<\/p>\n

How old are these kids? 8? 10? Maybe… (the girl in the middle might be older… but still… )<\/p>\n

You can watch all of the AFTER NIGHTMARE videos here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know these kinds of things produce “souls saved,” but what else do they produce? Does your church do a “haunted house”? Would you let your kid go to this one?<\/p>\n

**UPDATE**Oh, and I rethought the title after I posted it… but it was too late for my Tweet feed… it was a bit demanding… sorry about that…. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
