That's a good point.

I don't know how others define it, and I'm not sure I could pin down my own feelings about it.

Here's a starting point: don't push something on someone without helping them understand the consequences.

As an example, when I become a parent, I want my child to be baptized a member of the Church. But I sure will not allow that child to be baptized until he/she understands the covenants that come along with baptism, understands what must be done to keep the covenants, and wants to be baptized.

It would be a great hurt if I did not do otherwise. I feel like many parents who are members hurt their children by pushing them into baptism without properly teaching them why and letting the child make their own decision.
