William, I'm only just now reading this comment, but thank you for taking the time to write, to share your firsthand experience, and to invite others to reflect on the exhortations of the Scriptures.

I really appreciate the way you've encapsulated so many of the post-war dynamics. Thank you!

Thank you so much for reading. And yes! Teaching like this is done in Christ's name only - very far from the way of Jesus.

This is such a great point. The super-human impossible standards we expect of little children are not how we see God interacting with His children. Reminds me of Jesus' parable of the two sons.
