think there are no conflicts with unschooling. Once you get into a doctrine
that attempts to take control and create a lot of extra rules instead of
offering worship and fellowship; therein lies the discrepency. And there
you
have my humble opinion, Lori in TX >>
This CAN be true but I tend to look at OR's as the "one size does NOT fit
all". Some folks NEED this kind of structure. Some folks, like myself, can
dance pretty freely amongst those who do need more definition. I guess I
think outside the box, choose to do my innermost living and thinking outside
the box but visit those IN the box. I like to think it offers more contact
with people and an understanding of how those "inside" think. I also get
better and better and gently deflecting their attempts to rein me in. I even
manage to help them get a glimpse of the dance floor just outside. LOL
Just for the record, I know quite a few "conservative Christians" who are
fairly radical unschoolers.
