Thanks for the reference, george. I looked them up on the web and a 1999 update says the
same thing. I found it interesting that they made note that this was primarily a statement
for discussion within the church and not primarily an outreach tool.
It is too bad that ICR and the like would not do likewise and keep their "light" under a
basket.
