larc,
I was referring in my list to either organizational sanctions and/or congregation norms and values that have the adverse impact that have been described so frequently in this discussion forum. -larc
I think larc made a good point when he said about religions: the WTBTS is set up to make children have tougher lives just by virtue of being a jw. (paraphrasing). -waiting
I think we're in agreement. It would be nice if the WTBTS changed it's views, but I won't hold my breath. It would then be nice if the jw's who belong to the WTBTS would go around the WTBTS and raise their children as you suggest. Perhaps the next generation.waitingEdited by - waiting on 26 February 2001 22:42:47
