NANCY P. - I AM 16 AND SOMEONE BOUGHT ME A QUAD WITH THE BIBLE AND THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE AND THE D&C AND THE BOOK OF MORMON AND MY PARENTS FOUND IT. THEY DONT WANT IT IN THEIR HOUSE AND TOLD ME TO THROW IT OUT OR GIVE IT AWAY. IS THIS THEIR RIGHT TO WANT IT OUT OF THEIR HOUSE? THEY ARE NOT MORMON.

JOEL - Yes. It is their right and responsibility as your parents to keep anything out of their home that they do not want. You either need to find a better hiding place for it :-) (just kidding) or return it to your friend or another Mormon you know for safe keeping, until you are older and on your own. Remember one of the Ten Commandments which says, Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may seem long upon the land;" excuse me that's "be long upon the land." :-)
