I think it is a mental form of child abuse. It is really sad and disturbing.

Salvation should be freely given and received, not forced upon people that have hardened their hearts or are too young to comprehend it. Anything that is drilled into a child in that manner at one point will cause rebellion in that child without a lot of parental nurturing and understanding. I'm not saying Christian parents have dropped the ball, but I am saying that if they choose such a stringent methodology for teaching their beliefs, they'd better be ready for a myriad of questions and "experimentation" by the Jesus Campers as they get older in the face of not understanding why other kids do the way they do and wondering why THEY can't do it themselves! I realize the Scripture says to "train up a child in the way it should go", but we have to remember that SHOULD is the operative word! This is what makes FREE WILL so important! That way, the properly trained child can see for themselves the value of Christs' sacrifice and the safety and security of living in the Christian manner. Kids don't have to be "brainwashed" into salvation if they are led by the understanding of the truth, and by the EXAMPLE of their teachers in the home and the Church. The greatest fatal flaw a Christian parent can make is to attempt to make it the SOLE responsibility of the church to raise their children spiritually without following the truth properly themselves! Therein lies the seeds of conflict that blossom when not around Mom and Dad and are out there with the "worldly" children, They see the differences between their home and the other homes and the secular world and are led into confusion.

I haven't seen all of it yet- but of the clips I've seen, that's pretty disturbing.
