You could say sexuality is one of the most significant topics that is addressed in church. I don't think it's out of line to instruct the relief society to stop being so frigid. Every other instruction seems to be on what not to do sexually - maybe a little positive instruction would help.

to the instruction?

He looked at his dad and said, "Dad, they ain't had no complaints so far."

He was grounded for two weeks, though he claims that didn't slow him down at all.

given to our society to care for. This kind of attitude is what is causing a lot of problems in the black community. Ask Bill Cosby.

i did no such thing. what is "absurd reductionism" -- is that the same as reduction to absurdity? if you want to argue, at least bother reading and understanding what i say before attempting to disagree with it. then, before you respond, put my comments in context and ask yourself whether your beef is with some ancillary or inconsequential aspect of my point-- or whether it goes to heart of it.


"In your words, the church "adds pressure to be attractive" and "damns" other achievements by turning temple marriage into a "sweepstakes" where the losers question their standing in God's eyes."

wow. haha. reading this, i realized you simply did not comprehend much of what i (or anyone else) has said. i did not say that the Church (qua institution?) "damns" anything, did I? Where?

first, your reading comprehension has been awful so far. are you intentionally trolling? i'm not sure i should even be responding to this garbage.

second, your style of argument is obnoxious: you are seriously (and intentionally?) distorting others' words.

what exactly did I turn into a sweepstakes? I did not create temple marriage. nor have I turned it into anything. are you insinuating that it is inappropriate to say that a temple marriage is something valuable? prized? sought after? or to poetically suggest that the experience of courting / dating is akin to competition?

if i had said "brass ring" would you assail me for comparing a holy institution to a pagan ritual? just give up. i often call temple marriage the brass ring of YSA wards -- am i trivializing it? sinning by doing so? judge me!!!!

most importantly, you probably do not have many single LDS women friends (who are willing to open up to you anyway) if you are not aware of the heartache and anxiety that many have over whether they will ever marry in this life.

have you never heard a one wonder why she (a) has been denied the blessing of a temple marriage / worthy man and/or (b) question it is her somehow her fault (c) wonder whether she will have children -- and if not, why not?

your attack is ridiculous and embarassing, pal.

You've been Tex-ed.

It's funny how often people say this to him.

Did exute just bring my wife into the discussion?

If I cared a lick whether he even continued breathing, I'd probably be pretty pissed at him.

on being less frigid. I sensed some frustration in your post........

The only temple question relates to relations outside of marriage! It's call adultery. That relates to relations within the marriage.............how?
