Maturity = responsiblity. The society continues to present itself to the flock as over shepherds. Only children need such guidance. Adults have their own "small voice" to guide them and therefore do not continually need the pablum that is endlessly churned out by the WTS. The child held in check by suspicious and over-bearing parents will never mature but only rot on the vine as a dysfunctional, under developed. dependent, emotional disturbed chronological adult. These types of individuals will in fact come to hate their parents because of not being able to stand on their own two feet. Now, I think everyone on this board would be grateful if you can find a way to get the point across to "big mammu" that if they want normal, responsible people in their organization who can make decisions for themselves and accept responsibility for their own actions, they have to set the example and loosen the apron strings and STOP cramming the same bland garbage down their throats week after endless week.
