Q: How to get single Mormons to attend LDS Institute classes?

Chino Blanco, January 14, 2011May 25, 2011

A: Guilt and sex.

Tonight? Oh, behave. Rrrrr.

h/t: r/exmormon and t.t.a.n.s.

I know I shouldn’t be shocked and outraged that this comes from a church whose finest entertainment moment was the depiction of Johnny Lingo bartering for an 8-Cow Wife. And I know I’ve heard more returned missionaries than I can count who’ve been promised “a hot wife” in exchange for their faithfulness. But it is different when the video comes straight from the Church’s official website.

A Desire to Help

I have heard hundreds of members of the LDS Church, when they encounter someone who has left the church who is now critical of the church, say, “You can leave the Church, but you can’t leave it alone” or, more confrontationally, “Why can’t you leave the Church and just leave…

Deseret News, David Cross, Hipster Comedians, and the Untold Story of Joseph Smith

    Well, you gotta have a line somewhere right?

    You *would* qualify, if you weren’t such a stubborn NPD piece of work 😉 …

    Until then, you still don’t get it, do you? This stopped being a negotiation about where lines should be drawn … years ago. We’re moving on, the demographics are in our favor (in terms of finding a ready audience for our flavor of concerns), and the rest of y’all can stew for all I care until you find the cojones to start posting at MSP.

    Chino, what makes you think I give two figs about your demographics? I’ve never been incredibly concerned about this issue.

    Besides, doesn’t this belong on the other thread you’ve got going on right now?

    Re the second question, no, I’d rather keep my silliness quarantined here on this relatively inconsequential thread while I sleep it off.
