Lots of churches and organizations have mountain compounds where the members can go for meetings or just to escape the summer heat, I was told it was going to be just a get away from the heat thing for the kids. Now don't get me wrong and I wasn't being paranoid, but there was/is a real push out there to convert all heathen, eg. RC. I had good non-RC friends who would not do that, but it pays to ask. They just didn't know my son had been to a few voo doo shops in New Orleans and had heard "funny" family stories. Scared the holy out of them. I did say not all were workplace examples, the SSA one was. She took claims and processed changes for clients, they were being pressured to pray her prayer if they wanted help. Workers complained to management, who issued warnings and eventually fired her.(01-14-2018, 04:08 PM)eric Wrote: Not all these examples are workplace--when working at SSA, people would go to a coworker for help, and she would tell them "first let's pray".
I don't understand how this isn't a workplace example. I would also like to know more about why people went to this particular co worker and if they were outraged by her advice about prayer.

I'm not familiar with church mountain camps. What are they and why would they invite persons who are not of their faith?
My son has been to a few retreats during his time in grade and high school. They were all Catholic and only the students were allowed to attend the retreats. Parents were not allowed to attend.
What made you suspicious that the church mountain camp might try to convert your son, eric?
