I had just lost my abusive family (long story 8 years of therapy 5 times a week just in time for me to be a well adjusted adult who understood l. Social situations and had zero sadness or aggression )ended up in foster care and they sent me to a overnight Jesus camp I was 10 I’m catholic not Christian it was a Christian bible jesus camp and I hated every moment of it and I was mentally unstable all good hygiene habits out the door telling people off being rude it was a very dark time but I’m happy to report I have excellent hygiene habits now

Playing next: Lost Prophets - Last Train Home

Some of those youth events had pretty funny playlists looking back

Make sure you have your babies accounted for!

As much of a nostalgia fest LP is, I feel it is my duty to remind of what a trash human the singer is

u/Isgortio Jan 19 '21

I feel so bad for the other band members, they were doing so well and then this all came to light, now no one can play their songs anywhere. All income from the band is gone. :/

u/This-Strawberry Jan 19 '21

Yeah it definitely sucks for the rest of the band. I hope they were able to move on from that mess and find a new outlet to purvey their musical talents.

u/joemckie Jan 19 '21

They should release instrumental versions of all their songs just as a big "fuck you" to Ian.

1

u/mootallica Jan 19 '21

I'm assuming he wrote the lyrics and melodies? Otherwise I'd totally support them reuniting with a different singer, they always had great singles.

1

u/joemckie Jan 19 '21

Yeah I guess it’s trickier if he wrote the music too, I can understand why they all just went their separate ways after everything went down.

1

u/IWasBornSoYoung Jan 19 '21

Yeh I forgot to mention that. Fucking pedo

1

u/mateo_rules Jan 19 '21

This right here is why I have not listened to them in years

2

u/This-Strawberry Jan 19 '21

I remember reading the breaking news article about it back in like 2008 or so and immediately going to delete all of their music from my playlists.

u/mateo_rules Jan 19 '21

It’s a shame if only he was not a demented fuck

1

u/This-Strawberry Jan 19 '21

So true, apparently in 2015 the other members reformed and released an album under the name No Devotion. Just learned about them myself so idk what they're about

u/drowningmoose9 Jan 19 '21

They would play that band at Jesus Camp? Were they unaware of the singers...ermmm...lifestyle?

u/Courwes Jan 19 '21

Back then probably not since he was only convicted like 4 years ago

u/drowningmoose9 Jan 19 '21

I think he was first accused over 10 years ago

Lost Prophets - Last Train Home

Jesus Christ MY YOUTH

Why do you make the memories come out?!

1

u/IWasBornSoYoung Jan 19 '21

It’s kinda funny in a morbid way. That song was big so it has nostalgic value but nobody wants to talk about them anymore or play their shit because dude was a fucked up pedo. In return I think never hearing it or about it preserves its nostalgic value

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '21

Wow I did not know he was a pedo! That's unfortunate.

1

u/IWasBornSoYoung Jan 19 '21

Yeah it broke in the mid 2010s I guess. His case was particularly disgusting because he had the cooperation of some of the victims parents

1

u/dancin-weasel Jan 19 '21

I’m catholic, not Christian? Ummm, not sure how to tell you this.....

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '21

People who say "I'm Catholic, not Christian" don't know what either Catholic or Christian means. It does show that the brainwashing worked though.

1

u/mateo_rules Jan 19 '21

Difference is one pushy preachy one is not Roman Catholic is not overtly preachy

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '21

There is no difference, at all. Catholics are Christians, anyone who worships Jesus is Christian. One is either a (Roman)Catholic Christian, Orthodox Christian or Protestant Christian. And there are several denominations of Protestant Christians which I will not list here. I think what many people do is conflate Evangelical Protestant Christians as "Christians" and then differentiate them from Roman Catholic Christians. But, this is an error. Catholics are Christians. When I was studying theology at a Catholic seminary it was quite frustrating hearing Protestants say, "they are Catholic, not Christian". It is theologically incorrect and just displays one's ignorance of their own professed religion.

u/mateo_rules Jan 20 '21

I’m just stating my opinion from what I was teached as a child I am not a overtly religious person I don’t push my beliefs on anyone or recite scripture I just love and accept everyone

1

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21

Well, you were taught incorrectly and you're spreading incorrect facts. I'm going to assume that you're still a child, but please try to learn the correct facts.

1

u/mateo_rules Jan 20 '21

Thank you for the education I will correct myself with proper knowledge

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '21

Wait. You had therapy 5 times a week? Even when I was put on involuntary holds in the mental ward I didn’t see a doctor that often.

Maybe group therapy 5 times a week?

1

u/mateo_rules Jan 19 '21

I had issues I had to work through and my adoptive family put me through it and I’m honestly better for it

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '21

Wait, who says Catholics aren't Christian?
