I am glad my children are deprived from the world by being homeschooled, no cable TV, sit with us in church and they are each others best friend. Don't let anyone convince you your kid needs friends! I could have done without almost all my childhood friends, and this world isn't any better than it was 20 years ago.
My children are my responsibility and I refuse to turn them over to the wolves of the society, whatever disguise it wears!

Your kids are going to hate you soooo much when they grow up and realize everything they missed out on. And since they have to live among the wolves of society for the rest of their lives, not preparing them for the real world is only guaranteeing that everyone and his aunt Sally is going to take advantage of your hapless brainwashed sheep, er, kids.
"I am glad my children are deprived from the world by being homeschooled, no cable TV, sit with us in church and they are each others best friend."Sounds like your kids lead a crappy, dull, limited life. They will probably grow up to be crappy, dull, limited people. Hooray for your deprived children!
"Don't let anyone convince you your kid needs friends!"
No, people should be brought up alone, isolated from everything but family and church. That way they will be sure to be successful adults, maybe even landing that coveted assistant janitor position at the church.
"I could have done without almost all my childhood friends,"
Bitter much?
"and this world isn't any better than it was 20 years ago."
Well, it's a good thing you're making it better. I mean, what could improve the world more than raising ignorant, unsocialized, little robots?
"My children are my responsibility and I refuse to turn them over to the wolves of the society, whatever disguise it wears!"
So, you're convinced that, no matter what the appearance, society is evil. Your children ARE your responsibility, but that responsibility includes educating and socializing them such that they can live productive, happy lives in our society. You've chosen to shirk that responsibility and bury your head in the sand.
And in about twenty more years of that family living cut off from the rest of the world, being "each others best friend", we'll have the kid from Deliverance.
You do realise those kids are going to be living with you forever, don't you?

No... I predict probably for a few weeks after that too...
Preacher Boy later added, "And my teenage boys are certainly the best of friends, spending all of their time in their room praying together, with all the doors and windows closed, shouting 'OH Jesus' and 'God, YES!'..."
Aw, c'mon, now...I had no friends when I was a kid, and I turned out okay...
Buddy, you're completely ruining your childrens' lives. I hope, I really do, that you're just being a troll, because otherwise you're just utterly and completely destroying two innocent people.
I could have done without almost all my childhood friends, now, moron.
If you've learned nothing from dumb-ass reality shows like "Survivor", you should have learned that the ability to forge interpersonal relationships has a lot to do with one's success. This is true in the working world, as well. If you want to prepare your kids to wash cars or shovel rocks at the local quarry, then by all means, keep them home, isolate them from the world and teach them nothing about forging relationships. But your kids are going to have to deal with the rest of the human race some day, no matter what poor opinion you may have of it.
I think it´s a troll. Nobody says "deprived", which has a negative undertone. Second, if he has teenage kids, as somebody here claims he says, how is it possible that his chilhood took place twenty years ago?. Even if he´s not, I can tell you that the whole post is ironic. Studies and the experience of millenia of years and different people show that kids need friends, that it´s a key element in their developement. Moreover, he doesn´t claim, it´s the way my parents brought me up and it works. He claims he would have not problem but he can´t guarantee. After all, ins´t he then making experiments with his kids?, why is he so hypocritical as to claim that there is an agenda and that adoptive homosexual parents are making experiments with kids(the title of the thread)
See kids - bullying seems like such harmeless fun, but scars last a lifetime and can be passed down through generations.
Sayna: There are homeschooling fundies just like there are Christian and Atheist fundies. As a secular homeschool mom of 6, I cringe when I read posts like the OP. Don't let it get you down. We're not all like that.

Well, I agree that your children are your responsibility, but you're failing that responsibility. You, my dear sir, fail at life and child-rasing in a most horrifing fashion.
So, your children won't know how to make friends until they are adults...
I'm scared for those kids... MAGPie
Aw, c'mon, now...I had no friends when I was a kid, and I turned out okay...
Except forthe constant flashbacks of painful memories every 5 minutes and the daily fits of rage ...
And that.... is actually a true story for me.
(Ed Gein's mother)Augusta decided to move to this desolate location to prevent outsiders from influencing her sons. Gein only left the premises to go to school and Augusta blocked any attempt he made to pursue friendships. Besides school, he spent most of his time doing chores on the farm. Augusta, who was a Lutheran and fanatically religious, drummed into her boys the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drink, and the belief that all women (herself excluded) were whores. According to Augusta, the only acceptable form of sex was solely for procreation. She reserved time every afternoon to read to them from the Bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament dealing with death, murder and divine retribution.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein
.....And he grew up to be a serial killer and the inspiration for the Hitchcock classic Psycho.
See this guy's kids are going to be cross-dressing Rockettes (with their own rockets in their pockets). This is how people create serial killers and arsonists, you isolate them and abuse them very very badly. It doesn't have to be phsyical, either.
Congratulations.
sigh. it wasn't a fundamentalist thing, but i was subjected to similar arguments in my childhood...that it was good enough to have my siblings as my only friends, and to be deprived of the world growing up.

Why is it always the wolves?!
@Ninja Monkey and Pieguy259(Jake):
And a special one for you, Jake:
This is a joke. It has to be.
Otherwise, poor kids. By the looks of this guys methods, they're not going to do well in society.
I detect the subtle aroma of incest brewing here. Two homeschooled kids, each other best friend , no other friends, limited social contact outside the home.
Its going to be on tv one day for sure.

And no, my children going to university won't be asking for fries, when they're asked for such from your children at Burger King, Boy, as they have dissertations to write, that'll ensure they get the degrees needed to get the high-flying & highly-paid positions in the future.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
