Years ago I was the Associate Pastor of a church in Camden, Arkansas. Shirley and I were asked to go to Triple S Bible Camp with the young people of the church. The preachers asked to preach to the teens and youth workers were very abusive in their approach. One preacher referred to women who wore slacks as heifers, and even labeled some of the women there as such. It was all I could do to keep from jumping up and taking my "heifer" home, right then and there. Another one of the preachers spotted a 15 year-old boy in the audience with rather long hair, while he was preaching. He publicly made fun of the young man from the pulpit, and humiliated him before the crowd. I'll never forget how sorry and embarrassed I felt for that young man.
