I have felt for so long that so many leaders deserve the "greater damnation" so to speak, for their part in inacting and enforcing those ridiculous and ruinious rules. They all "heard from God" so they could tell you whatever they wanted because God was speaking to them. It's spiritual rape and although it doesn't get the same press as sexual child abuse, it did nearly as much damage in many people's lives. I just don't think it's right the way Jim plays it down as if he is the only one who has a story to tell. There was abuse in my family too and they have chosen to move on and don't want to talk about it. I respect their decision and would never dream of pressuring them about it, even with heavy suggestings as Jim seems to think that's all he's doing. We are not cookie cutter people the way Jim thinks we should be. Sending a little toddler away from his mother's arms against her objections is up there on my list of serious child abuse.
