I've never worked a case in this area and am no expert, but I recently watched one of the news magazines the networks do and they said that federal law is that you have to save it or download it, but viewing is okay. They seemed to say it is a first amendment issue though I'm not clear on how that is so. I'm not sure whether it being in the cache counts either. Can you view something without it become part of the cache?

To clarify, i was at my friends how tonight ot watch the National Championship game.

The pictures were taken at home, however the boy was told about them by the girls at school and they forwarded them to his cellphone at school, he also forwarded them to his friends from school.

That is the only reason the school was involved. He also said he went to the school board punishment hearing and the pictures were shown to a few of the school board members and himself since he was the counselor, lets just say that it would make Goatnapper blush, he said a lady on the school board was in tears that a grown woman could take pictures of herself in this manner let alone a 14 year old girl. Also the boys are all 9th graders as well as 2 of the girls the other girl is a 7th grader, 12 years old!

Yes, I'm aware that after getting re-baptized, one must wait for a 1 year minimum to take the next steps.

However, I am not sure there is really a big difference in terms of practical authority between a typical male and a typical female in the church. Most of us do something equivalent or less important than deciding what to do in sharing time. Less than 1.5% of all male members are in the following positions: General Authority, Mission President, Stake President, Stake Presidency Counselor, Bishop, or Bishopric Counselor. For anybody outside of the 1.5% it seems the differences in practical authority are pretty trivial? I wouldn't describe my practical authority as more expansive than choosing what to do for sharing time and this is true for the vast majority of all men in the church.
Is it purely theological? Can one authority exist without the other? Does serving in a significant position of authority change one's perspective on the subject ... most definately, especially when one whitnesses first hand the effect it has on one's spouse.

To those in positions of significant authority it is not trivial or overcompensation when they remark at how blessed they are to have married a woman willing to make considerable sacrifices.

Hence when we say "the bishop's kids syndrome" we are referring to rebellious troublesome kids.

In our ward, the Relief Society sets the pace. The president is of relatively little education and station, but she has taken "radical" steps to improve the cohesiveness of RS. For example, she did the equivalent of geomapping everyone. She got a big map and put pins at every address. She then reassigned all the visiting teaching so that neighbors would teach each other. That's just an example. By comparison the priesthood quorums seem to be always winging in, and put together with duct tape and baling wire.

No doubt in my mind that men are the weak link. I don't have the stats, but I bet if you look at activity rates in members over the age of 30, it is skewed female.

Our ward has a great priesthood, where hometeaching numbers often exceed visiting teaching. The men did the geomapping, with follow up emails, and geographically related hometeaching companionships.
