Does anyone know why Mark Darling uses the F-bomb to make points at youth seminars?  This question is directed at Linda, but others can comment like Reba, or others that have seen or heard this kind of rash behavior.

For the record, I never heard that word used at a youth conference. I never even attended a youth conference.

I believe I first read about it on this site and had it confirmed by some GCM students I know that were there and were witnesses. I also think some regular posters on this site heard it firsthand.

Frankly, I would think language like that would be grounds for immediate removal of a pastor in most "normal" churches. Had I known as a parent (who spent hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars even to send my children to youth retreats over the years) that offensive vulgar language was used to reach the youth, I would never have allowed them to go. It makes me wonder what else my children were taught or heard that I am not aware of and bothers me a lot.

These were people I trusted with my children.
