I felt a bit nauseous and had to have a break before watching the rest. I've never felt so much pity as I did watching those kids have their lives ruined by adults that should know better. The most staggering example of child abuse I will ever see.
I would like to hear anyone try and tell me this type of brain washing is a good thing.
Think I'm going to have a couple of whiskeys before watching the rest. Sick.

Probably one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen put to film.

'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

I heard they deleted the Ted Haggard bits that were in it following his gay sex scandal... Is that true?

I haven't watched it beyond the trailer. That was enough for me.

Targeting children for that sort of bullshit is child abuse, plain and simple.

For sheer morbid curiosity, I attempted to view the documentary one more time (I had seen it in the past). I honestly could NOT get past the first 10 minutes. Sickening!

My 'favorite' moment of the movie was when the ghoul who runs the camp asserted passionately that they are not a political organization and do not encourage a certain type of political thought....and then the very next shot is her literally bringing out a cardboard cutout of President Bush and having the kids bow to and pray to and thank it.

All I see is fucked-up, messed-up, judgmental adults with their own problems (obesity and hypocrisy - respectively) pointing their judgmental fingers at frightened, crying children.

I have the DVD, and it was released after Ted Haggard's scandal, and I can safely say that not only did they not remove the Ted Haggard footage, they put more in the deleted scenes.
