It seems that some VERY twisted forces are at work in this situation. Great clip and well worth the click to read the whole story.

Enticing kids with coolness. Their brand of cool is dangerous.

local public schools to recruiting kids into a "cult," says the mother
of one of the students. The Turning Point Church sends roughly a dozen
adult "youth leaders" to six schools north of Everett, including Totem
Middle School in Marysville, once a week, where they hang out during
lunch hours, chat with students, and join in sports games.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/recruiting-gods-army/Content?oid=1140193"><P>"We can be someone in their life to say everything is going to be
