I just talked with a friend about how her kids (12 and under) aren't allowed to go to sleepovers because a general authority said that it can be bad. Since I'd heard other people mention this before too, I looked up the talk that mentions sleepovers. The very first line says that it's directed at parents of teenagers. A lot of people are taking that to mean that sleepovers are bad for children of any age, though. My friend said that it's because you just don't know what's going to happen when the kids are away; I said that you don't know what happens when they're on the school bus or at recess either, but that we still let them do that.
Anyway, does taking counsel to the extreme happen for everything in the church? Do leaders encourage that? What's the deal?
