Oh my god, I'm glad to hear from you. I went to through this too. I now collect survivor stories from people who went through it. There are more than 20 indexed on my blog.

I'm now doing a PhD studying these schools. It must have made a big impact on me, because I still care about it so deeply. I'm convinced it's child abuse.

I found after my time in the same kind of school that I really struggled to socialise with girls and non-Christians (and especially non-Christian girls). My school had a six-inch rule so boys and girls couldn't get too close. Did yours have that?

I also found I didn't know the slang terms my non-Christian friends used, because they were banned at my fundamentalist school and I'd never heard them. I also didn't have anything in common with them, because we didn't listen to the same music or watch the same TV. I was just terrified of non-Christians because I was taught they were sinful and evil. How was it for you?

ACE teaches that evolution is absurd, and, in one book, that the Loch Ness Monster disproves evolution.

What are your views on Creationism now?
