     There is a need to  develop  within various religious
groups  members of those groups who create the  moral  and
spiritual equivalents   of  judo --- so  as  to  transcend
domineering  people's  ways without  adopting  domineering
people's  ways. This will entail:                         
                                                          
     1.     Learning     what   to   appeal    to   within
domineering people's  claims of  what  ideals,     values,
principles, scriptures, attitudes,  traditions --- are all
important.  This is to gain leverage on them.             
                                                          
     2.  Learning   how  to  avoid getting   seduced  into
adopting  domineering people's ways of trying to  get  the
upper  hand.     Their  goal  of domination  must  not  be
accepted  and/or  adopted.   Their methods  of  trying  to
achieve domination must not be accepted and/or adopted. In
their  place the goals which need to be  affirmed  include
goals such  as:    reconciliation,  healing,  cooperation,
open dialogue,   honest dialogue,   mutual  understanding,
mutual respect,   personal integrity,  communal integrity,
balanced living, etc.                                     
                                                          
     3.    Helping    bystanders  to:   (a) recognize  how
domineering   people     undermine    people's    personal
and   communal integrities;     and  (b)   recognize  what
is   required   to transcend   and   subvert   domineering
people's   seductive reliance upon coercion and threats of
excommunication.                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
