This has been bothering me all weekend. I have read several articles about the arrest of the pervert in Brazil who molested many young girls. In this particular article he interviews a young 13 year old girl and asks her "in the name of Christ" if she masturbates.
http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_25783953/victor-barnard-called-girls-brides-christ-and-he?source=pkgShe does not even know what he is talking about. Reading this article triggered several very uncomfortable temple recommend interviews where I was asked behind closed doors the exact same question by older men. I had a sick feeling in my stomach as I thought of times my own children may have also been asked this horrible question. In the comment sections about this tragic story of the young girls in Minnesota many asked, "What kind of parents would ever trust their children to this monster." I had to ask the hard question..."how did I ever, ever allow this practice to happen to my own children?" There is simply no difference with this child molester and Joseph Smith who some still sing "Praise to the Man" and name buildings after. And bishops all over the church will be interviewing teenagers this week and no one even bats an eye!
