The recent incident over the boy whos parents refused chemotherapy seems to have sparked public interest in parental rights regarding religious exemption to medical treatment.

Glad we live in a time that these issues of power, control, big business and government can be questioned so openly and widely. Here's another vid regarding chemo and another dear child to pray for. These medical treatments are as controversial as CS is.

The CNN article is very helpful because it has stories from two different adults who grew up in CS and as children had medical conditions that were treatable, but their CS parents refused the medical route. One is now 72 years old and suffering from a shortened leg. His father wanted him to go to the hospital for medical treatment, but his CS mother won out and he didn’t get it. The other is 42 and is suffering from hip dysplasia. There have to be many adults who grew up in CS households when there was strict adherence to prayer only and are now suffering from conditions that were treatable when they were children.

I don’t know what’s going on with the kids today in CS. In most churches there just aren’t that many kids in the Sunday Schools. I’ve seen recent articles in the CS Journal where CS teenagers are talking about not having any other CS kids around them. A couple of weeks ago, I listened by telephone to this CS teleconference church in San Juan Capistrano, California (www.csinsanjuancapistrano.com). They have added a prayer request section to their Wednesday night Testimony service. This church was asking people to prayer about the serious drugs problems of the youth in their church. This church said nothing about what the parents are doing. If they don’t get the parents involved in what’s going on with these children all the prayer they want from their listeners won’t help. In that teleconference church meeting I never heard about any physical healings of the kids in that church, only about one kid who passed an school exam without studying.
