WHO ARE YOU

<< < (5/12) > >>

Joyce Harris:
No, it was not explained as a MORMON program.

We were told that the students at Whitmore had the free choice of attending any church in Nephi.

But we assumed that since Mark and Cheryl attending the "Mormon" Church, that Zita would attend with them.  We had no problem with this.

What we did have a problem with was reading the weblog, written by Whitmore students: which stated that any students who did not attend Church on Sundays(even if the student said they were sick) was denied all previleges the following week.

I felt this was very wrong, and was forcing students to participate, even if sick.

BUT by no means were we told that Whitmore Academy was a MORMAN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.  We were simply told that the Sudweeks attended the Mormon Church, and that the kids enjoyed going with them.

Joyce Harris:
We were never told that the Whitmore Academy was legally, or finacially, or academically, or in any way endorsed or sponsored by the Mormon Church...known by us as Ladder Days Saints.

Why do you ask us this question?

We did not choose Whitmore Academy based on any type of religious preferences.

Joyce Harris:
NOw that we have it straight that I am not a grandmother, and that Leah is not my grandmother.

I do have a question for you:

If your brother has only been at Whitmore for a month----and I understand that Leah has not been at the Whitmore for several months.....

Just how do YOU know that this young lady is a slut???

You need to learn this lesson very early in life young lady:  Do not go around repeating vicious gossip told to you by strangers that you have only know on one little brief visit to a place that you know absolutely nothing about.

YOU do not know Leah.  YOU do not know her grandmother.  And you certainly do not know ME.

So, speak of thing you do know.

If you are impressed with Whitmore--then speak of the nice things that impressed you. Tell about the positive things that you think are working for your brother there.

  But, do not slander other people the hope of defending people and policies that you know absolutely nothing about.

Now you have a very nice day.

Gmom:
I try very hard not to stoop to the level of name calling and not staying on the topic.  But I just might make an exception here.  You obviously do not even know my granddaughter.  She has not been at the Whitmore for several months.  Maybe you belong there -- let your angels from God teach you some manners -- their methods, I'm sure, are just what you need.

Anonymous:
The reason I ask, is due to concern that people might enroll students with the impression it is a Christian school; or a school were, as you state, the student has free choice; but were in fact the students are pressured to take part in Mormon worship and where they are indoctrinated in Mormon theology.
This would be a problem for me; and I would suspect many others as well.
I do understand this is not an issue of concern for lots of people; but for those who believe Mormonism is a cult, and one which teaches very false things that can effect ones eternal life - this is a major concern.
It concerns me. That's why I ask. I have been told it was a Christian program with no mention of Mormonism. And so I wondered if this was the norm.
