Those kids are NOT invited to my daughter's birthday party.

I know it's supposed to be amusing or silly or funny, but all it really is to me is sad. These kids don't know what they're saying, they're just repeating what their parents and their church has told them. And people approve of it because they're kids and "ALL KIDS ARE CUTE!" It's just the same as a kid raised with, say, the KKK parrotting racist crap. It's brainwashing, and it's sad.

I think it's bad enough that there are 10 crazy child preachers, let alone 10 craziEST

It would be disturbing if it were top 15 kid beauty contestants or top 15 kid athletes because it is just the parents exerting their influence in what is probably a selfish and possibly damaging way.
Kids should be in the park running around and getting dirty. Not preaching or strutting or rubbish like that.

#1 I think was the saddest. You don't tell a little kid that people are having abortions- especially you don't tell him that people are murdering their kid. That's only going to scare the living shit out of him and mentally traumatize him.
I feel bad for all of those kids. I really hope that when they grow up they will be able to get free from fundamentalism. But sadly, it doesn't look like it will be that way.

The first one looks like it was filmed quite a few years ago--the 80s, maybe? the 70s? It's hard to tell with the internet. In any case, the kid is much older now. Here's to hoping he got out of that environment and became sane. I like to pretend they all do. I have to. I wouldn't sleep at night otherwise.

At first, I thought the video was a joke since for #10, the audio and video didn't seem to be synced and it looked like someone took audio of an adult preaching and then put it over video of a kid.
I couldn't understand #7 (baby in the pulpit), but as cat said, there is no way that kid knows what he is saying.
The Jewish (?) boy, #3, scared me since he was crying.
#2 sounded like she was hyperventilating.
As others have said, #1 is horrifying. That boy probably does think people are legally killing kids his age or older, rather than what abortion really is.

I meant the last one on the video (it had a number one in the corner...)The first one is Marjoe Gortner, and I think he was preaching in the 1950s or 1960s. He did manage to get out, and he made a movie about it. So you don't have to pretend about him- he did manage to get out of the fundie life.

I knew about Marjoe Gortner, and I'd seen #9 somewhere else. It's sick, it really is. Some of them don't even know what they are saying, but even if they did, they are just children. Their parents are using (and abusing) them to make money, or to push some retarded notion of God speaking through the innocent. It's just too fucked up.

#10 sounds like maybe it was from the days of radio, and just dubbed over the kid.
#8 what the hell does that kid know about loss? In fact I don't think anyone who quotes Job knows what real loss feels like.
#7 & #4 are just little kids playing with microphones, they're too young to talk.
#1 I think I've argued before that his parents should be up on child abuse charges.
The rest will hopefully get woken up as they get older.
