  %TRADITION STANDARD LEGAL MORAL LAW ABUSE CONTROL 921009

     Traditional  standards of legal moral laws are  often
abused  by  people with addictive attitudes and needs,  in
efforts  to  control  the behaviors and thoughts of  other
people whom they portray as not conforming in  appropriate
ways.   Such efforts  are  almost  always:   manipulative,
coercive,      abusive,      alienative,       judgmental,
excommunicative, confusing, forgetful, and disintegrative.

     We need guides which transcend traditional  standards
of  legal  moral laws which can be abused  so  readily  by
people with addictive attitudes and needs, in  efforts  to
control  the behaviors and thoughts of other  people  whom
they portray as not conforming in appropriate ways.

     God  does  not  through Love require  us  to  try  to
control  each other to conform in any ways.   God  through
Love  calls  us to be in true intimate dialogue  which  is
open and honest  within secure  relationships which entail
vulnerability without threats of excommunication.

     Only  if we transcend traditional standards of  legal
moral  laws will we enjoy personal and communal integrity;
for   such   traditional  standards  are  often  used   in
disintegrative   ways,  because  they  too   readily  lend
themselves to such abuse.
