Thanks for the professional insight and feedback.

I mean diplomat kids probably move around often too and some other government officials but they are hardly to be called poor, so that affluence makes up for possible "neglect"?!Plus they are living in good neighborhoods etc.

On the other hand I could imagine a lot of poor with plenty of decency and dignity...like in the older days, working hard to pay the bills...but then I think quite a few poor nowadays got ruined by the vast contrast they observe between them and the super rich (Being convinced, it's right to cheat for them now, as they think, they became rich by cheating etc.)...I guess it was never so evident.I figure, unless you have something dearer than the mere "material"...like faith e.g. wisdom, knowledge...you are slowly on the downhill??!

So although TF claims to have some faith, to help overcome the shortcomings on the material side,I guess they lack the interaction with the neighborhood, society in general even as far as schooling is concerned.The possibilities of control are reduced...TF thinks it to be an advantage, whereas it actually isn't.Although they preach to become one, they fall very short of it, by declaring too much knowledge as unnecessary...but then, why don't they let their kids have at least the mandatory schooling with outside kids, even if it has to be a Christian school...would be better?!

I remember reading reports about how too much cleanliness in hospitals has almost the opposite effect, you kind of breed the very tough, surviving ones under all circumstances...and TF reminds me of that, wanting to be super antiseptic in a false spiritual way.
