Which is why babies are bonded to whoever holds them the most in the immediate months prior to birth.
Wow, I find myself agreeing with Ustwo...
I fear for that child... being raised in such a coercive and brainwashing environment.

This is the real issue I have with this sort of thing. I used to think the promise keepers were misogynisitc fascists, but using social pressure to convince a woman not to use painkillers, groan, speak to, or touch her child is a little...too much.
It should also be noted here that when hubbard was still alive, his cult was being investigasted by the FBI, who veiwed them as a crime-syndicate, as well as being suspected of multiple break-ins. (They broke into the FBIs offices to see how much they knew, and destroyed thier records!)
