Group Rules, Walking Off, Suffering, and Your Career
When I was growing up, I lived a few doors down from a very observant Catholic family that had strong opinions about what is right and what is wrong. There was a son around my age whom I liked to play with now and then, but his parents eventually banned me from fraternizing with him. The reason was that, after being warned by his parents a few times not to do so, I forgot and shouted ''Jesus Christ!'' during some game. The first time I had done this, I had received a very stern lecture about using Jesus' name in vain. The next time I was sent home and my mother was spoken to. The final time this happened I was banned.
