Your story about being gripped with fear when it was your turn to "pray-read" at the SSOT reminds me of going to "confession" in Catholic school. This horrible fear gripped me as my time drew near. I wanted to run! I survived by making up the whole thing. Unfortunately coersion like this do little for one's faith in the Lord. Never helped me, but did help to deliver me from the Catholic Church. To be honest, your parents seemed much stricter than those I knew in the LC. None of them were hesitant about church activities, except when there was conflict with summer camps. My kids looked forward to seeing their friends again in other LC's, and would try to sneak off to have fun during the long meetings, depending on the speaker. Fortunately, some of the speakers were quite talented, with a great sense of humor, and entertaining for young people. Folks at LSM hated this, however, and demanded that all the kids get force-fed with their endless books and doctrines.
