You're different. Making me laugh a good laugh. Most people just get more defensive if challenged. (Not that I have ever been that way myself, ahem! )OK. My apologies.

It would not do a bit of good if I did. I would get defensive, then you would get more defensive, then I would get even more defensive than you. And on, and on, and on.Most people just get more defensive if challenged.
Today, I withdrew my 1st grade son from the public school system and put him in private school. He has high functioning autism and absolutely loves Jesus so much that he gets upset when it is not his turn to pray at dinner time. His favorite book is his children's Bible and he insists on reading it every day. All this, of course, before public school.
Over the last few months I began to notice that he wasn't as insistent on prayer and did not want to read bible stories. Finally, at dinner time, he told me that he didn't want to pray. So I asked him why, the answer shocked me.
It started around Christmas time when all the kids in class were talking about Santa and Frosty the Snowman. My son told his friends that Christmas was about Jesus and began to share the Gospel. As a result, he was punished by the administrators and he was told that he was being offensive.
Eventually, the other kids in the class started picking on him because he shared Bible stories. When we talked to the school they told us, "Well, if he would just stop talking about Jesus so much then the kids will stop picking on him."
I am absolutely furious that this has happened. So I immediately withdrew him from the public school system and enrolled him into a Christian private school. My question is, "Has anyone else had similar issues with the public school system attacking your child's faith?" If so, how did you handle it?
The stated purpose of this Forum is for prayer for persecuted Christians. You virulent attack on the OP says nothing about her, but a ton about you, dear.TEACH your boy to be obedient to the instructors and stop talking about Jesus.
Don't pull him out of school.
You obviously were not balanced when you were sharing Jesus with him yourself.
This was your error, and now you want to punish him further by removing him from his class, his 'friends' and his issue you brought into his life. You did this. So, how are you going to handle it?
Somebody clearly did NOT read the entire thread.TEACH your boy to be obedient to the instructors and stop talking about Jesus.

I have said what I have said. Why can't you wait to see how she wants to respond to what I said. You're a guest just as I am.
Let's not make it about you.
I said the post was featured on the Home Page and there was no info that I was visiting a "prayer" or "persecuted Christians" forum.This is from the first page of this forum for Persecuted Christians, near the top, to the far left:
Persecuted Christians
Post New Thread
A forum to discuss the persecution of Christians
so that we may uphold them in prayer.
In addition the general rules for all forums here is that you show courtesy to other posters and don't make attacking remarks about them. I was not writing about myself, of course, but rising to the defense of another and asking that the rules be followed here.
I find it very saddening to see someone saying things to another poster, who is already feeling upset and distraught, like:
"TEACH your boy to be obedient to the instructors and stop talking about Jesus.
Don't pull him out of school.
You obviously were not balanced when you were sharing Jesus with him yourself.

The info that this is a prayer forum is right where it is supposed to be. It is also called a forum for Persecuted Christians. It is obviously a place to support them, not heap on verbal abuse like "You obviously were not balanced....This was your fault...You did this."I said the post was featured on the Home Page and there was no info that I was visiting a "prayer" or "persecuted Christians" forum.
If you want to keep up your attack I'm going to take it personally.
Wow. Really? Are you suggesting that I made a mistake to teach my child about Jesus?TEACH your boy to be obedient to the instructors and stop talking about Jesus.
Don't pull him out of school.

This was your error, and now you want to punish him further by removing him from his class, his 'friends' and his issue you brought into his life. You did this. So, how are you going to handle it?
Update: he absolutely loves his new school. He just about squealed when he found that two of his friends from church are in his class. He loves it and he is free to talk about Jesus.Still praying for you guys and if you get a chance tell us how he is doing in the new school? I hope he is enjoying it and has begun praying again.
I have thought about this thread a lot and I would like to just give him a hug and tell him that Jesus loves him.
I wanted to post and say God bless you for being parents that are raising your children with Godly principles and values. Bless you.
Amen and Amen. God is great. Pay no attention to what some people say my friend, You keep on doing as you are and training that little man about what it is to be a real christian :] Blessings for your family.Update: he absolutely loves his new school. He just about squealed when he found that two of his friends from church are in his class. He loves it and he is free to talk about Jesus.
Wow. That's great. A happy ending where things worked out for the best.Update: he absolutely loves his new school. He just about squealed when he found that two of his friends from church are in his class. He loves it and he is free to talk about Jesus.
