To have a policy where a minor sits next to their parent at the meeting (or in fact in any context or situation in life) but they are not permitted to talk to each other or otherwise act in a normal, humane way toward each other that would naturally be expected of a normal parent-child relationship, and for others to be offended by it and have to write such a QFR, just shows how sick this organisation is along many of its brainwashed and de-sensitized adherents.
This kind of thing always produces ambivalent feelings in me. It mostly saddens and angers me that it this is continuing to go on unrepentantly in the organisation and how people are truly suffering because of it, particularly children and minors; but it also reinforces how right I was in leaving such a heartless and fanatical cult, that prefers cruel, legalistic policies based on twisted, gnat-squeezing, camel-gulping interpretations of scripture at the expense of the higher principles of love, justice mercy, etc.
God I am so glad I left that nasty religion, and with my head held high with no regrets for doing so, and I can only hope that more and more will have the courage to the same.
