Slog - Comments on O They Will Know We Are Christians By... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/o_they_will_know_we_are_christians_by_ou_11 ...the Jesus fish sticker on our bumper and the 15 year-old girl we're dragging behind our van. Arrest warrants have been issued for two officials at a Christian boot camp accused of dragging a 15-year-old girl behind a van after she fell behind during a morning run, authorities said. Charles Eugene Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt of San Antonio-based Love Demonstrated Ministries, a 32-day boot camp, face aggravated assault charges in the June 12 incident. The two are accused of tying the girl to the van with a rope, then dragging her. UPDATE: Looks like we can add this teen-dragged-behind-van story...

After a discussion with Christ, Charles and Stephanie [and Christ] had reached a solution to this young girls problem.

There is something so Stephen King about it. Its like something you'd read in Black House or the Dark Tower series.

"So I really don't have a reaction to it. I purposely don't want to have a reaction; I'm just living life."


That about sums it up.

Given the frequency of death and dismemberment, can anyone tell me why any of these camps remain open?

One of the versions of the story that I read stated that the release form for this Christian Boot Camp that the parents had to sign said, quite explicitly, that serious injury and even death were possible. Flowers seems to me to be the quintessential pentecostal sorcerer----obsessed with his own seeming omnipotence, and madly ravenous for power over others. Instead of "Sir, yes, SIR!" his ears should ring with shouts of "Garcon!" or "Boy!" or "Hey, you!"
