I'm asking these question because I'm single:

1. I've been going to church alone for 10 years, why is it that hard?

2. If your wife is active LDS she can't shop @ Victoria's Secret?

1. It can be hard when you get undermined at home. It can also be hard when your spouse thinks your continued activity is reason for divorce.

2. I see no connection between activity in the church and shopping at VS. It's based more on her physique than her church activity.

Teaching children basic morals is completely apart from indoctrinating them into a religion. Pushing them into a religion is akin to forcing them to play the piano or playing baseball.

Uh oh. You mean I shouldn't be doing that either?

I would put "forcing them to eat vegetables and do their homework" on the list as well.

What's the difference between teaching and indoctrination?
