I don& #39;t know what youth minister needs to hear this but:

"cry night" is spiritual and emotional manipulation. stop manipulating children.

thanks for coming to my Ted talk

it& #39;s disingenuous and leads those kids into YEARS of shame trying to capture that same euphoric exhaustion high.

they can& #39;t ever catch it again bc it wasn& #39;t God, it was all the sugar and sleep deprivation. then y& #39;all wonder why no one keeps their faiths after high school?

it cheats kids out of a genuine and authentic faith and cripples their spirituality well into adulthood, if they decide to even keep it at all.
