    I've had parents come in for interviews. Had a couple of brand new 12 year-olds who wanted their first temple recommend and were nervous because they didn't know what to expect. When I asked the law of chastity question, they responded with "what does that mean?" At that point I had them agree to have a conversation with their parents about it when we were done, and moved on. Parents were a little wide eyed - but I think I did them a favor by helping to initiate the conversation.
    Good job counselor, you definitely did them all a favor.

      The idea that a TR holder has to not only believe and uphold an LDS standard himself but favor legal enforcement/compulsion of said LDS standard on all citizens cracks me up. Come on people!

              You won’t even talk to Wuap or ask him a direct question because he’s not Mormon anymore. Harsh. But I respect it.

                  Keep talking to yourself, weirdo. Wuap no longer posts on this august site and hasn't for over a page now.

                    What was announced was that they will be announcing a program in 7 months. The program was announced and it treated girls the same as boys. That is not an approach the LDS church is willing to support in any way. It was sent as a message. It is not a coincidence that the LDS church jumped out the day after it was announced that the programs would be parallel programs. I'm sure if the BSA came out with a program for girls that was focused on motherhood they would have been all in.
                    It’s hilarious that you think the Church decided to get out of scouting and made an announcement all within 24 hours. This has been in the works for years. If anything, the announcement by “Scouts BSA” is more likely to have been a reaction to the Church’s decision. They are more in need of a boost in membership than ever before.

                      What’s truly hilarious is the lack of self-examination evident in ironic statements here (like this one) describing Scouts BSA’s problems.

                        Or he could have just said, "you're good", and leave it at that.

                        Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                        • BE PREPARED!

                          Condoms must now be made available to 'all participants' at the Boy Scouts global gathering as girls are permitted to join the organization

                          • Rules require host of World Scout Jamboree to provide condoms during event
                          • Condom policy must be communicated to all 'participants, unit leaders, staff'
                          • The next Jamboree will be held in the mountains of West Virginia in July 2019
                          • Will be hosted by Boy Scouts, Scouts Canada, Asociación de Scouts de México

                          The Boy Scouts will ensure that condoms will be made 'readily and easily accessible' at its global gathering this summer, it has been revealed.
                          Rules now require that the host organization of the World Scout Jamboree provide condoms at a 'number of locations' for staff and participants during the event.
                          Leaders of the participating organizations must also communicate the policy to their 'participants, unit leaders, and contingent staff', the mandate requires.
                          The 24th World Scout Jamboree will be held in the mountains of West Virginia from July 21 to August 1, 2019.

                            • It's a World Jamboree. The Scouts who are there are far more likely to be 16 and above. This is not a BSA policy, or a Scouts Canada policy (two of the hosting organizations). It is a requirement that any hosting scout organization must abide by, and it's been the policy for like 20 years.

                                So which Scouts do we blame? I bet it's the French Scouts (pronounced "scoots').
