They are run by an outside missionary group located in the northern area of my state. The only purpose of this club is teaching evangelization to Christians and converting non-Christian students to Christianity. Kids are apparently invited to these clubs and presented the gospel and then made to confess Jesus as their savior. They sign a card saying they confess Jesus as their savior or they have more questions to ask before confessing. Group leaders are supposed to report to headquarters how many students have been converted to Christianity.
You know....this could be a good plot for a movie.
If a film comes out that's a lot similar to this story, don't worry, I'll credit you.
Seriously though, that's despicable. Even if you replaced the word "Christian" with "environmentalist" or even "atheist" in your situation, it would be equally as despicable. No student organization should force thoughts upon another. Sickening.
They can't force conversion but they can certainly pressure students. Think. Your friend invited you to a club and promises music, food, and game. When you get there you are presented the gospel by an adult and then asked to give your soul to Jesus. You fill out a card giving them your contact information which is sent to a church so adults can "follow-up".
Unfortunately this seems to be legal by circumvention.
