Blainer) I think this may be rephrased. It is the Milk First, Meat Later doctrine. Children digest milk easiest, and can then digest meat as their digestive systems mature. Each person has to be babied a little first, then given stronger nourishment later. This is true of any convert to any religion, not just Mormonism. Even Jesus gave his doctrines out in measured doses. He taught in parables for the very reason that persons ready to understand his meanings would be able to do so, and those not ready would not understand so no problem. He did this to protect those who were spiritually immature. He did not want to condemn them early on.
