 This
is the Alumni Site for the West Indies Mission / Trinidad & Tobago
Mission maintained by someone actually living in the Mission and witnessing
its' activities firsthand. The Trinidad & Tobago Mission used
to be known as the West Indies Mission until February, 2007 when the
mission was split. It is interesting to note that in 1991-1994 the
Mission originally had this name. Recently, it reverted back to the
name: West Indies Mission. (Read

 News: When Children Are Raped, Abused & Killed

A couple of quotes from Brigham Young that even though does not specifically explain the length of the suffering of these kids, he is hinting that spirits are send to wicked people because the righteous are not ready to welcome them.
 QUOTE There are multitudes of pure and holy spirits waiting to take tabernacles, now what is our duty? -- To prepare tabernacles for them; to take a course that will not tend to drive those spirits into the families of the wicked, where they will be trained in wickedness, debauchery, and every species of crime. It is the duty of every righteous man and woman to prepare tabernacles for all the spirits they can... (Discourses of Brigham Young, Pg.197)
QUOTE To check the increase of our race has its advocates among the influential and powerful circles of society in our nation and in other nations. The same practice existed forty-five years ago, and various devices were used by married persons to prevent the expenses and responsibilities of a family of children, which they must have incurred had they suffered nature's laws to rule preeminent. That which was practiced then in fear and against reproving conscience, is now boldly trumpeted abroad as one of the best means of ameliorating the miseries and sorrows of humanity. Infanticide is very prevalent in our nation. It is a crime that comes within the purview of the law, and is therefore not so boldly practiced as is the other equally great crime, which, no doubt, to a great extent, prevents the necessity of infanticide. The unnatural style of living, the extensive use of narcotics, the attempts to destroy and dry up the fountains of life, are fast destroying the American element of the nation; it is passing away before the increase of the more healthy, robust, honest, and less sinful class of the people which are pouring into the country daily from the Old World. The wife of the servant man is the mother of eight or ten healthy children, while the wife of his master is the mother of one or two poor, sickly children, devoid of vitality and constitution, and, if daughters, unfit, in their turn, to be mothers, and the health and vitality which nature has denied them through the irregularities of their parents are not repaired in the least by their education. (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 12, Pg. 120-21) |
