Kicking a woman out of church for nursing a baby seems like overkill, unless she was really baring a lot of skin or being purposefully shocking in some way. |
Dord, I was referring to the above comment.

I almost erased my comment because it sounds so ludicrous that most people don't believe it is true. Sadly it is true. I have a dear friend who I am still friends with today who walked through that time with me, and went through much worse with that man after we left than I even did.
And the saddest part to me is that he still is a licensed UPC minister in that church still today... preaching his "gospel"....

But, I think our society is a little too uptight about nursing mothers.
As long as the mother is nursing discretely and keeping herself covered, who cares.
I think the problem is really the "breast obsession" of our culture, seriously, think of it as a cow udder. If you were at the zoo and you saw a monkey nursing her baby, would that freak you out?

A monkeys breast has never been appealing.
