I believe this is true.

Below are some comments from FB.

MSB: I heard a church leader once who who was relating a story about his interaction with his son who was leaving for a mission. He told him before he left that if he didn't come back worthy, don't come back at all. I assume by "worthy," he meant he didn't commit some sexual transgression. I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe anyone would say that to their child. I know I have said things in anger that I have seriously regretted, but to defend a statement like that? And to try to teach other people that this was a Godly way? Devilish. Truly. It's probably been ten or more years since I heard that and still remember clearly this relative stranger's face, I cannot think upon that man and not judge and be angry with him, and that is my failing.

TK: The hardest thing to learn is how to love unconditionally. Being a parent is the greatest teacher. I have learned from my own experience and through direction of the Holy Ghost after years of pleading for my son to return to my faith, that I am to love and accept him perfectly, right where he is at. I am to actually in reality, accept his free will. I am to respect his right to his own path. He is studying Buddhism now. It used to break my heart, I couldn't let go of the fact I want him to be like me. And yet I have met very few people as compassionate, kind, and good as my son. He teaches me new ways to look at thing's. He opens my eyes to my own judgements, prejudices, and even control. The reason Satan was cast out was his desire to take free will and make all God's children walk the same path. Jesus wouldn't hear of that. He insisted we each have a right, to find our own way...our way. It didn't mean he would not love us, it did not mean he would control us, it did not mean he would punish us. What it did mean is His everlasting, unconditional love would reach our own reaching. It meant He respected us all enough to design different degrees of glory, not hell,but glory, and choices of glory. It meant he would want us to decide which we would feel comfortable with. He is about liberty, love, and yes consequences. That is the beauty I have learned. We are all truly freeeeee to choose!!!!! And it will not diminish one ounce of our Heavenly Father's love for us. Just as My son chooses not to live with his parents here on earth or live our way...he may not choose that in the next life either. But if I can accept that and still love him passionately, then I know my Heavenly Father will do so even more than I. He is the perfect Father. Yes I now realize the truth of this video. I finally am humble enough to learn what Heavenly Father sent my son to me to learn..... How to love as He does. This has released me from agony, even opened my eyes to new truth. How narrow minded and stubborn I had been in thinking I must force my will on his soul. Today after 5 years of estrangement with my prodical son...he has come home to see me...not to join my way of life, but to share his with me. He came home to show me I am the prodical one. When I was brave enough to look at his perspective and his world... To even show respect for it...he has been more willing to open his heart to me and has begun to love and respect me as well. I now believe this most important responsibility can exalt us or damn us. Not based on results of who returns to the Father, but how we love the ones that choose another dwelling. The first will be last and the last shall be first. We will be blown away come judgement day how differently our Father see's this than how we do. His ways are not our ways...who truly knows the mind of God....no man...that is why being a parent is essential to our progression, it gives us experience...the same one our Father is having. I am so greatful I did not stay angry, prideful, controlling, punishing, and judgemental of my son....because I am now free to truly love this whole world.

MSB: Love that TK. I think you're right, God will see us differently than we imagine. We are to love the least, not because we pity them and because they will not be exalted as high as us, but because any time there is a "least" in our mind, there's something wrong with our thinking. All are equal before God, and those who are pitied may be our superiors in the eternal world; who's lives were hand-crafted to give us an opportunity to improve our perspective.

Also, I think there is so much from the Buddhist / Eastern perspective that we lack in general as we apply our Western thinking to religious texts.

TK: Anytime we make ourselves punishers (superior), victims (controllers), or enablers (caretakers), we are not walking in a spiritual relationship honoring the free will, growth, and agency with our brothers and sisters. Love and respect really are the answer. I guess it seems too simple sometimes.
