‘Abstain from all appearance of evil.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Their comments were directed toward LDS youth as reminders to keep themselves morally clean – even during rape. Their overblown, not to mention incorrect view of this, defies all logic.
Here are just two of the outlandish things they’ve said –
“I would rather follow her to the grave, and send her home pure, than suffer my daughter to be prostituted. I will not suffer any female member of my family to be polluted through the corruptions of wicked men.” — Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 2:322
“Your virtue is worth more than your life. Please, young folk, preserve your virtue even if you lose your lives…” — Spencer W. Kimball, Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 61
To read more of their horrendous theories, see Virtue and Chastity.
Now the point to our posting of these things is quite simple.
It’s not to shame, or bash the Mormon people. It’s to inform, and ask the Mormon people if this is acceptable. If not, then it’s time to denounce these false teachers!
With Love in Christ;
