13:111-112 is where all the teachings RE human relationships/ society ends. It looked like WHOFTF finally offered an minor exception to the rule in the JAHtruth social commentary now, but no - men still have to be involved with children somehow.
Divine Justice!
13:111 Widowhood is obviously a different case, and, in this case, the two grand-dads, God-fathers and other men in the family, should help the mother, to teach and discipline her sons and daughters.
13:112 Children should NOT be born out-of-wedlock, and single-mothers should not be supported by the state. Children need to grow up in a proper family, with a dad to keep discipline, and a stable background. There is no such thing as a one-parent family. A family has two parents, or it is not a family (read a dictionary).

A reminder: "the way home or face the fire" was written in 1986. Maybe in the UK everyone still had their extended family nearby and good male models back then.
Nearly 40 years later, internationally society has changed a great deal.
e.g. Here in Australia people have to move huge distances for work opportunities or to get affordable housing/ rental properties now. People do not have their relatives around the corner for babysitting or emotional support any more.
The overgeneralised sweeping statements about how society "should" be between 13:84 -13:112 are subtly judgemental and negative to those who cannot measure up to the idealism presented in TWHOFTF.
