I say we're all in this together, like it or not. Out here in the real world I hear people who try to blame all their ills on their parents and their parents stupid mistakes, drugs, divorce, you name it, they blame their parents. At some point, you can't keep blaming your past or your parents and have to assume responsibility for your own life.

I also agree that not everyone did everything the same. It is true that sex with minors WAS supposed to be banned at some point, though the Davidito book was a shameless example of it - many of us just chose to ignore that and concentrate on the ban. This was a favorite trick of Berg, to confuse us. If he could confuse us that way then he could control us because it made us have to depend on him and his supposed understanding from the Lord. He is not the first or the last dictator or spiritual guru to use this method. Anyway, so you can't say because bad things happened to some of the kids, that everyone was bad like those people, a lot of chose not to do those things at all.
