I wouldn't say that I've ever been treated like a "bad guy," (some
suspicion, I would say, but never outright hostility -- but then, I'm *so*
diplomatic about my opinions ;{>) but in every other respect Steven is spot
on. The minds are very closed in all the fundy churches that I have
attended. It will take a long time (if ever) to undo the damage that ICR,
et al have done.
It may be better to concentrate on student organizations as students may be
a bit more open-minded than their parents. Also, students are often pretty
desperate to find a way to reconcile what they've been taught at home to
what they are learning in college/high school.
