Joyce Harris:
About the Mormon Religion at Whitmore:

When we enrolled our 12 year old daughter at Whitmore---we just assumed that Zita would attend the Morman Church with the Sudweeks, and we honestly did not have a problem with Zita learning about a religion that if very different from our own.  

We took it upon ourselves to begin to study about this faith--in order to be aware of some of its teachings.

We looked upon the Sudweeks "being Mormon as a positive."  That they would PROBABLY have high moral values, and PROBABLY have strong family values, and that they would PROBABLY be kind people.

But our daughter's experience at Whitmore proved that our expectations were completely WRONG!

And this by no means is no reflection on the Morman Church or its teachings or values.

I do not believe for one moment that that Sudweeks represent the normal, everyday, faithful member of the Ladder Days Saints Religion, which many of us refer to as the Morman Church.

I would not refer to the Mormon religion as a "cult."  Nor would I ever criticize anyone's chozen religion.

What I do criticize is people who dare hide behind ANY religion to try and justify and uphold their incomprehensible behaviors, and dare say they are doing it in the name of FAMILY, in the name of LOVE, and in the name of GODLINESS.   That is wrong!

Joyce Harris:
I do have one other remark:

If you have been told that Whitmore Academy is simply a Christian-based "school" and that a child enrolled there will not be exposed to the Mormon religion, and will not be REQUIRED to attend the Mormon Church----then what you have been told is a TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION!!!!!!

Children at Whitmore Academy must attend the  Mormor Church, or at least they did while my daughter was there.

I am not saying that was a bad thing---but that is just the way it was.

Gmom:
Not only was there pressure to attend the Morman church on Sundays, the kids attend "education week" at BYU.  "Education week" is the teachings of the Morman religion.  One of the trips taken, while my granddaughter was there, was the trail the Mormans took when they finally settled in Utah.  Lots of stress is placed on the teachings of the Morman religion.  If a child choses not to attend church, that child is required to spend the day in "the room" writing.

Anonymous:
What is "the room?"

Please don't tell me it is something like:

"the clothes"

Or

"the bunk room"


What else went on at that place????
