Vacation Bible School Ugghhh!

[Thump]

Anyone ever get stuck going to this as a kid?

There was no "Vacation" about it!

It just flat out sucked donkey peters. (Just like Tibor.)

 

[DaytonBuck]

it ranks up with the other great misleaders such as cleaning party, home work ho downs, and bible basketball

 

[ashlandbuck]

I hated it too. I mean, this was my time!

What bothers me about it to this day is that it's merely a free babysitter for a week for a lot of parents out there

I always liked VBS when I was a kid. Of course, I always offered up my own interpretations of the Bible that pissed off the teachers and generally goofed off until snack time, but hey.............

It bit when I was a kid and I'm sure it still does today. My daughter is helping at the one at our parish this week and next to get service hours. Her excitement is overwhelming

 

[vrbryant]

I was basically raised sans religion. No bible school for this godless heathen.

 

[DEBuckeye]

I went as a kid and didn't mind too much. You got to run around goofing off and eating snacks (or maybe that was just my interpretation) all day. There was that pesky church thing, though.... :sleep2:

 

[The KSB]

I always enjoyed VBS. My daughter loves it. Her's just ended last week and she keeps asking when the next one will be.

 

[Buckem]

My vacation bible school was about 1.5 hours bible and 2.5 hours kick ball and donut eating so it wasn't bad.

 

[Oh8ch]

It just flat out sucked donkey peters.

Never cared for VBS myself, but I lack the experience to make that particular comparison.

What bothers me about it to this day is that it's merely a free babysitter for a week for a lot of parents out there

They never said who the vacation was for...

 

[BuckBackHome]

I never even heard of it before I moved to MI. Is it like Sunday school stretched out for the whole week?

 

[Brutus1]

Let's see , i'm 10 would I rather :
a) swim and play baseball or,

b) go to church ?

Now, I did'nt mind church, but not at the expense of my summer vacation from school.

Alas, mom won out and I had to go to VBS.

All we did was eat ice cream and watch videos of Buckeye games.

 

[RugbyBuck]

I got sent to a Quaker commune in NC for three weeks of torture, I mean, camp when I was ten. What a scam, my parents paid them for me to have to clean their barns for three weeks. No television, no junk food, no competitive games.

What's wrong with making macaroni pictures and singing about Noah and his "arky arky"?

Which reminds me, did anyone else see the South Park where Kenny and Kyle go to Jewbilee, and Kenny makes a fully-detailed macaroni version of the Last Supper? Hilarious!
