Those requirements are that a child is committed to living church doctrine and "specifically disavows the practice of same-gender cohabitation and marriage," is 18 "and does not live with a parent who has lived or currently lives in a same-gender cohabitation relationship or marriage.""

Lady Palutena 3,147 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 We have Mormons here on our Reservation, nobody takes them seriously though and they never try to recruit. They did try to approach me once but I told them that I don't support polygamy Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
