That's a rationalization. There was no evidence that leaving the LCM was dangerous or displeasing to God. It was a false fear created by ignorant fanatics. Oh, maybe they believed it. But eventually ignorance is not an excuse. Certainly by now it isn't. Mormons believe it's bad to leave the Mormon church. Does that make it okay for them to teach it?
A better analogy would be telling your kids they can't leave the house because the boogy-man will eat them alive once they step off the front porch. That's the "care" of a parent who has no business being a parent.
And as I said, by now the LCM should know better. They should make a public apology, a promise to change policy and other reparations.
At this point you guys are just in denial. Time to fess up. You'll feel better, trust me.
