I don't think society in general has figured out where to draw the line for freedom of religion
IMHO its a form of child abuse to raise kids in high control groups like JW's etc - but what can be done without impinging on the more benign religions?
Step 1 is the stringent application of a strong public benefit test with charitable status set with a higher barrier
Government moves slowly but surely - 30 years ago JW kids in the UK were dieing over the blood issue - that simply doesnt happen anymore - so i figure maybe we are due for another step change - perhaps in how society perceives religious shunning
I am shunned because I am black gay ex-JW - its not OK, but thats where we are right now.
