Thanks. I just don't call Rev. Graham "BILLY."
I did attend one of his services in Houston once at the Astro Dome.

Parents who enrolled their children at the Whitmore: did not think they were enrolling their children in a "cult-Mormon school."
Parents were TOLD by the Sudweeks that their children could WALK TO and attend the church of their choice. Nephi is a small town. Parents had no REASON to believe that this promise would not be kept by the Sudweeks. SO: no parent knowingly subjected their children to being FORCED to attend the Mormon church. That is just how it worked out. The Whitmore kids were made to attend the Mormon Church by the Sudweeks, and were punished for non-attendance without the parent's knowledge.

Hey, wait a minute. Somebody has some bad information here.
Actually, kids can walk to and attend the church of our choice. The Baptist church is actually closer than the LDS one. There is also one other church I know of in Nephi, either Catholic or Presbyterian, can't remember which.
No, kids are not punished for not attending church. If somebody doesn't go to church, they do have to write a report on spirituality, but that is because Sunday is a day for focusing on one's spirit. The parents were fully aware when they sent their kids to the Whitmore that it was Christian, and therefore should know that church or spirituality of some type was going to be required. And if they didn't know, they obviously need to call 1-800-ABCDEFG for some Hooked On Phonics.
I do know we are allowed to go to these other churches, because guess what, I went to the Baptist one quite a few times when I attended Whitmore! It is right on Main St, one block from Whitmore, check it out online if you don't believe me! It may be a small town, but even small towns have more than one church.
Tha Truth:
Alright Angelina. Maybe she made an exception for you, which I doubt. When I asked to stay back from church once (when I was still new) Cheryl yelled at me and told me that I was "ungrateful" and "Heavenly Father doesn't like ungrateful people, they make him sick." She basically went on to tell me that God would have no qualms about sending my ass straight to Hell if I missed this church service. I never asked her again. I saw the groups she had on all the other kids who did, I didn't want to bother. She used to pressure kids to get up at fast and testimony meetings or to have talks with the mormon missionaries. I really doubt that she went out of her way just for you and a couple of those kids "Angelina". All 40 of us had to go to church every Sunday for three hours. I was raised in a Presbyterian church and later a Covenant one, I would have been glad to go to ANY other church in Nephi than the 7th ward. By the way Angelina, you still haven't written me back... :lol:
