Re: Are Mormon parents stupid?

There has to be something else going on here, that doesn't pass the test of reasonableness for any parent. According to the Mormon pedophile it’s a cultural thing for Micronesians to do this sort of thing. I suppose this begs a few different questions regarding discernment, Bishop confessionals, co...
