djohnson, here's what I believe, what misconduct there might have been was covered over. Historically treated as rumor. Suppose a young person did know or was affected by misconduct. It's not necessarily going to cause one to stumble. In Children's meetings through high school, you do learn the Bible. You do get to know God objectively and hopefully become regenerated and baptized at some point. So most young people who have a heart for the Lord would know such behavior is inappropriate and unfit for the Christian Church life. However what I think would stumble a young person is if their parents or a trusted brother or sister knew and gave a free pass.
