A Community for Anyone Interested in Mormonism.

A question of morality…

chanson, October 8, 2007

As if our usual three-hour services weren’t sufficient, after dinner on Sunday Rex, Joy, and I had a youth fireside to attend at the bishop’s house. Logically Rex shouldn’t have been required to attend since he was eighteen and hence no longer in the youth program, but Mom insisted that she wanted him to go. Actually none of would have gone if we’d had a choice. So naturally we dragged our heels a bit getting there and arrived late. Read the rest of the story ร‚ยป

    O.K.
    I guess LDS leaders are ‘beneath’ using colloquial words (like: ‘Cop a Feel’ or’2nd Base’)

    Suggestions?
