*sigh* It's sad where I hear stories of people advertising for say, the school gay club and stuff but when it comes to Christians, it's like "Oh no! That's some sort of taboo thing! Not for school!" -_-; So yeah... I'll be pryaing^^

I would contact someone who knows the legal ramifications of this if you're serious about disliking it. Not allowing a religious group to advertise while allowing any other group to do so is discrimination, and I understand that such things have been cracked down on. I'm not an expert, but I understand that this type of behavior is wrong, while the school is prevented from supporting a religious organization, not allowing its members to advertise like every other club or organization is discrimination. Anyway, I'll be praying.

Well i remembered that my school has a myspace so i am using that to help but i mean my science teacher he is cool he was going to announce it for me becuase i told him i wanted to start one and he was like PLEASE PLEASE DO so yeah he is a Christian and stuff and im hoping that they dont delete my ads on the school myspace thing my school is not your normal highschool its also a Vo-Tech center called Francis Tuttle idk how that makes it really any differant other than that but i mean i dont think anyone advertises for anything there well except jobs and there really isnt any clubs there at all that i know of but according to the coordinator i must call it "fellowship" but im going to call it F.I.S.H. i heard the name from something my old school held when i was in the 8th grade so i thought it would work idk ever since last night in church man i have been alot bolder with people which i love that fact i mean last year id hardly share my faith but this time around i know what im up against and stuff so this may help with the whole FISH thing but yeah thanks for the prayers! they are needed

Definitely look into that. I'm sure YOU could advertise it but your teacher may not b able to. I'll be praying! Keep up the good work!

Personally, I'd avoid buring out on the advertising thing. Go for word of mouth, proven to be adequate to spread God's message for like, a zillion years now.

Praying for your group.

Congratulations on the club! Lifting you up. And let us know how it goes!

And as far as the legal issues... You mentioned it's a VO-Tech. I assume it's still a public school, though, right? They could still risk getting sued if they discriminate.
