[Teachldsseminary] CHAT:: The Story "The Room"

[Tkcs@aol.com]

I think you have to be very careful with stories like "The Room"; kids 
(people in general) tend to remember the sensationalized aspects of a story, and 
even though you may stress that it's not doctrinal those images become part of 
the way they understand a doctrine.   Is it really worth our precious teaching 
time if it's something that has to have a disclaimer?   Why not only teach 
doctrinally sound lessons?   There are plenty of stories and examples from the 
scriptures, general authorities, and even New Era and Ensign articles.
