as a former student of west fl bonifay teen challenge I can without a doubt say that TC is a scandel.When I was there the Drill Instructers or DI's as we would call them would tell us the students if we spoke out about the place they would do all kinds of thing.I'm not saying all of them are bad but bonifay's is def. without a doubt all about your money

Not only is TC in Bonifay about money but they are about CHILD ABUSE.Bonifay Teen Challenge should be run out of town. They are a disgrace to mankind and should be scrutinized by the community. This ranch is not suitable for the pig livestock. The staff is untrained and the directors are full of lies and deceit! Beware of this organization.

i have just came out the TC programme 2 weeks ago and i was sorry to leave. I believe it has it's place in society.It has made a huge difference in my life.The staff there taught me skills that i need to live a productive life. I honestly don't know where i would be without it.Well actually i do, i would be where my husband is.....dead.All caused by drugs and the lifestyle that comes with them.I know not everyones experiences are good but surely we cant judge on the minority. I loved my time there and would highly recommened it to anyone with problems. I went there totally lost and broken, but now i'm fit and healthy again and totally in awe of our amazing GOD.

Well done kirsty keep on in HIM X

Julie: Unlike the Bible humans are falliable...

ALAN: The Bible is the most contradictory, falliable, inconsistent and absurd book in existence today. It has more errors than a screen door has holes.

Julie:... and sadly in this fallen world there WILL be scammers and bullys and conartists; in Teen Challenge and in all other human organizations, faith based and secular.

ALAN: So Christians are just like everyone else.

Julie: I'm sorry you had such a negative experience at your particular center, but there are HUNDREDS, please don't poision everyone for investigating for themselves. I attended Western Michigan Teen Challenge and it saved my life, I was never judged, put down or looked down on. Congratulations on your sobriety but please keep your mind open and realize there are those of us who would rather rely on a true higher power, Jesus Christ, as opposed to daily meetings.

ALAN: And of course you can prove that Jesus actually exists?

ALAN: Belief in the Jesus Myth may give them the power to jump students, but never the right to do so.

If you had a 30 YEAR drug addiction, what where you doing at TEEN challenge? I'm confused.
Either way, glad to hear you found recovery.

Thank you THE ANSWER IS I AM SPECIAL.

[Reverend Alan]

Changed Life: "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom".

ALAN: You Christians have some really twisted and messed up ideas about what freedom is!

GOD: "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men....(Eph. 6:5-7, NIV)."

"All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered (1 Tim. 6:1, NIV)."

"Slaves, obey your earthy masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord (Col. 3:22, NIV)."

"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,....(Titus 2:9, NIV)."

ALAN: A perfect example of how the Bible contradicts itself. The Bible can not be trusted because it is contradictory and unreliable. Christiany is an abomination, it is a crime against humanity.

Can anyone out there tell me anything about New Mexico Teen Challenge?

[Another changed life]

GOD BLESS TEEN CHALLENGE... The ONLY thing that helped my sister after a billion other rehabs... they DIDN'T SCAM us for money at all, they actually taught those girls work ethics and they made most of the money themselves by working. Even though we are a Jewish family, we supported the program.. we didn't care that it is based on Christian belief as long as it brought our loved one back from Devil's corner... I agree that the people who say it's ABUSIVE are just not ready for the REAL WORLD, you should all try joining an INFANTRY unit in the army for a few years to get you back into perspective.. Teen Challenge is God sent and I hope the 'SCAM' mentality doesn't sink into the minds of people who NEED this help, stop TRASHING anything that's a bit hard for you.. LIFE is not fair or easy, just deal with it and stop trying to find ways to make you feel better and cozy.. that's what draws people to DRUGS in the first place!

[conrad p stokengripper]

we build our own prisons it is all about choice. yes or no?

[luvlie georgie]

i believe that the tc programme should be made more tougher, people caught in addiction should realise the secular world does not have the anwser they never did.

[c boy]

Has anyone ever been to a TC in or near Atlanta, GA?
If so, I would like to hear about your experience.

---Thanks

[Teen Challenge graduate]

I too am a Teen Challenge graduate and thank God everyday for saving me from the drug scene and giving me the most incredible life ever, I would never replace my freedom, happiness, joy, liberty, richness, love, forgiveness that i now have for anything in the world. When God touches your life, you are never the same again. No one has to convince you He is real, you EXPERIENCE it for yourself. Obviously you sound very bitter and are still blaming everyone else for it. Free yourself from bitterness and hatred by asking God for a real experience yourself. I pray that your life would never be the same again, Amen!
