Will boarding school seminaries keep teen BIC boys in?

Post by _sock puppet »

Drop the mission age to 18, in an effort to close off the leakage year between high school and mission age. Nope. Didn't work. Try replacing in 2018 the Varsity Scout program (ages 14-17) with an LDS program, focused no doubt more on the correlated LDS schlock. That too will fail.

When will they try boarding school seminaries for teen BIC boys? The pineapple picking summers for errant LDS teenage boys was a spectacular failure, with rampant homosexual experimentation among the sequestered boys. So why wouldn't boarding school seminaries as high school alternatives work? [/sarcasm]

I like the boarding school/indoctrination camp idea for the church. Maybe it could call it "Freedom School" a la 1984? Instead of having a room 101, it could have a "Celestial Education Room" where the firm hand of the priesthood corrects in the "lord's" way? Sure, the kids who exit might have a certain involuntary twitch, but, that's just evidence that the programing works.

Better yet, with today's technology and where it's going, maybe a "success" chip can be implanted in the youth of the future to ensure compliance. No more masturbation my friend because as soon as any of that business is thought of, a gentle but firm shock to the system happens that will teach the youth to never even think about it again. The chip should also reward for "good" behavior. So, if the youth can actually do their scripture study, a "pleasure" pulse will flood them with a "spiritual" experience. With the "success" chip, no youth will be lost.
