What's wrong with making children wait until they are more mature to decide if they want to accept a faith through membership? Especially if that faith condemns their parents, they need a chance to work it out intellectually which an 8 year old cannot likely do well.
If only this decision were extended to ALL children in all religions. Hurrah!
Had I been made to wait to join LDS, Inc. until my father joined or until I was 18, I doubt I'd have ever joined up. My dad always knew Mormonism was a crock. However, he liked that they asked me not to smoke, drink, and not sleep around. He cringed when I joined but he allowed me to have my search for faith. I just wish they hadn't been allowed to reel me in before my brain had ripened.
