"Harold was Catholic. Or he was told he was Catholic.
Just like he was told what day he was born and told what his name was.

Told, told, told.
That's all there is to it. That's it. Have a good life."

From the book "Harold" by Steven Wright about a 7 year old.

About the same age I was walking up the lane with my mother to Sunday School and my mother told me that there were many churches but only ours was the true one.

Wow. I was so glad to know it. Felt so lucky.

The adults job is to make sure children lose their innocence.

So...  Are parents/caretakers our programmers?

When are capable of installing new apps?

Do we initially accept any apps presented to us?

Do we ever reject apps?  Do we ever disable and remove installed apps?  (Most of us wouldn't be exmos if this were not the case!)

Are we human beings without apps?

How many Truth apps exist?



I remember having and using a 'never take the Lord's name in vain' app...

I used to have the Joseph Smith was a Prophet App. But then I got the No He Wasn't App. What's good about the latter is you don't need so many other Apps to keep it working. Takes a lot of tech support to keep the Joseph one going.

My dad installed my apps with an 8" floppy. When it was my turn, it had shrunk to a 3.5" floppy. Nowadays apps are on thumb drives. Moms are prone to ask "Is it in?".

Ah, come on tell.

I'm begging you.

I probably won't get it anyways.

I'm one-third of the way certain I'd get it...

When I was 6 or 7 I interpreted "one true church" as our physical building. It was after all a church.

When I was in a different building and heard "one true church" I was totally confused. My building was the one true church.

Took a while for me to figure out the definitions of church.

I accept all apps without question. Those that don't must be reported to the proper authorities.

"The adults job is to make sure children lose their innocence."

I was shocked to realize when my kids were young that I had picked their father, who has hurt them the most. He is much better now, but that was a shocking realization to come to.
