Yeah I found that one particularly heartless at times. Like when I was exhausted and severely anemic from untreated bleeds, and my mother would read about how lazy ones turn upon their couches, and how Satan told Jesus to be kind to himself. And then tell me to get up and put my multi-layered prarie wear on for the meeting. You know, because being at a meeting for several hours on a weeknight, when you have to get up at 5 a.m. for school, is much more important than getting needed rest.
Yes. Listening to them drone on about repetitive, utter nonsense is much more important than your child's physical well being.
