Just so we're clear on the matter, were the camp organizers also drag queens?

clearly they were gay transgender muslim communist democrats. nobody else would ever commit such henious acts, obviously.
You forgot socialist Marxist in that descriptor.
Only leftists bother to separate communist and Marxist
If the right can gaslight enough people into believing that the Minnesota Assassin was a liberal and not a conservative, they can just as easily convince them that this was a secret drag queen child monetisation ring funded by George Soros.
It's more and more common to see private religious schools opening up to me and they've relaxed how closely they need to follow federal guidance on outcomes. I'm so worried for those children, literally having their future sold away because of a culture war.
The sad reality is that this is what their parents want and their children will live in it. They are being indoctrinated and will only know their "truth" upon graduating.
Then they'll pick up the mantle to fight the same culture war because that's what they were taught.
It doesn't say it in this article, but it was triggered by a 15-year-old going for help.
A few red flags. It's a bible camp, it acts as a "rehab" centre, it has a message on its website in the chin language from Myanmar (interesting for the trafficking part.)
But... Maybe this one isn't actually that bad?
As a general rule if it has a relatively obscure language like Chin then there's some weird shit going on. I once stumbled upon a weird Roman "history" website in highschool where the available languages were English and Dalmatian, not any of the more common Italian dialects specifically Dalmatian. Turned out to be a fucking weird group of Italian fascists, what's weird is that they weren't even from Croatia or any of the other areas the Dalmatian language is from theyre based in the Northwestern Alpine.
The Dalmation language is used because it’s easy to spot.
🥁
Fascists and claiming histories that don't belong to them. Name a better duo
I still stand by the Dynamic Duo. Batman and Robin.
Or Batman and Brooding.
Keep an open mind, but child abusers are usually good at lying too.
A flyer for the camp on its website has a message written in Chin, a language spoken by people in the Chin state of Myanmar, according to USA Today.
A Google translation of the message reads as follows: "Is there anything in your life that you cannot overcome? Are you worried about your health? Do you want to go to the next level in your relationship with the Lord? That’s good news for you!
"Come to Shekinah Glory Camp and participate in what the Lord is doing through the power of the Holy Spirit through the man of God in Australia, teacher Rual Cung. You will never be the same.
So probably they're involved in trafficking children from Chin state, the poorest state in Myanmar, strongly effected by the civil war and 90% christian.
TL;DR:
“A thing happened (or it didn’t), nobody knows why (or maybe they do)”
This is actually pretty accurate. Not sure why you got to down vote.
I read this article and another one that someone linked in the comments and it really didn't say anything at all.
I'll be up front and say that I have very serious problems with camps like this in general. However, the accusations seem serious and it would have been helpful if the article actually detailed them. Instead it said:
As of Tuesday, officials had not released details about why they believe the children may have been in danger, how old they were, why they were at the Bible study camp, or if anyone was arrested.
The article itself had hyperlinks to what seemed to be unrelated abusers. I'm just more confused.
What happened? Were children harmed? Will the abusers, if they exist, be held to justice?
Again, I have serious issues with programs like these in general. I might argue that abuse is indeed happening, but not in the way this article implies. unfortunately, the abuse that I believe is certainly happening is not kind of thing that would prevail in court in a country that doesn't seem to have a legal problem with things like conversion therapy.
It’s always the ones you expect!!
