You fell for the old 'bate and switch" routine. The missionaries teach you one thing, and the reality of "church" is much different. You are an adult, and you need to set boundaries.

They also have to scrub the text to do the replacement of the word Mormon, but not if they are talking about the Mormon Pioneers...
