‘For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.’ 2 Timothy 1:7
But remember this, my son: we would rather come to this station and take your body off the train in a casket than to have you come home unclean, having lost your virtue.” — President Marion G. Romney

My goodness it’s a sad day to hear anyone say this let alone a man in such a high position. Romney was expressing pretty much the same thing Mr. Kimball did in 1969.
Not only that the 7th LDS prophet Heber J. Grant gave a similar talk.
In 1942 he told the young LDS boys to be sexually pure even though he was a practicing polygamist with three wives.
Making matters worse Marion George Romney came from a long line of polygamists. For whatever reasons he failed to mention that his family moved to Mexico to evade the Feds to avoid prosecution for polygamy.
These men are just parroting what their predecessors have said without taking the time to think about what they’re saying. They didn’t have to look too far back in their history. None other than Joe Smith himself was a perfect example of how they shouldn’t behave.
Pray for Mormons to turn to Jesus and not fall for the intimidation these men threaten them with!
With Love in Christ –
