I wish l could have put my thoughts as succinctly, Brian. You saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you.

It would appear that this policy is consistent with the principle that children, who are living in a household where there is significant opposition the the Church, its leadership and its teachings, will not be placed upon the membership records of the Church in any way until any legal and/or spiritual issues can be completely resolved. While I am certain that many will cry "foul" and claim that this is evidence of the Church's open hostility, I believe it is evidence that the Leadership of the Church is sensitive to the needs of all involved - especially the children. I would be insensitive to submit children to the obvious conflicts that occur when living in a home where adversarial feelings or conflicting beliefs towards the Church flourish.
