    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      It will blow their effing minds.
      I don't get it. Why would that be subversive? My posts on CUF are subversive. In scientology lingo, I would be what is termed a suppresive person.

      What you're proposing is not subversive at all.

        I do think we have mastered the art of attending just enough to make them crazy. One of the reasons I still pay tithing is just to mess with their heads.

          We're all guilty of making moral judgments, so no one is immune, but culturally speaking, we are as guilty as any religious group. Notwithstanding several fantastic examples within the church, we as members hear the repeated messages of kindness, love, and compassionate service and somehow filter that into condemnation and shunning. It's a habit that is reinforced time and again in our culture and it's shameful and embarrassing.

            Hmm. Spite tithing. Never heard that one before.

              It's not, but Indy's suggestion would lead to a great General Conference talk. Don't you want to be in a General Conference talk? "And there they stood in the living room, embracing as tears ran down their cheeks, as one exclaimed to the other, 'Mein Doktor! Mein Doktor!'"

                Well put. Who else just shows up some evening absent appointment expecting to be received and given an audience?

                        Some boundaries should be broken down. I love a manly embrace, as you know.

                              I don't care whether SoonerCoug attends church but last week on KSL, there was a special interest piece about two LDS missionaries that were serving in Russia a decade or so ago. These two were kidnapped and held for ransom. All these B-level politicos got involved and eventually the missionaries were released, only slightly harmed. I think they may have been punched or kicked. Anyhow, KSL picked up the trail a decade later to show us how well the elders were doing.

                              These are the exact types of stories that Soonercoug often invents, so part of me wondered if one of these missionaries was SoonerCoug. However, per the story, the missionaries were able to win over their captors by sharing the gospel and their testimonies with them, so I knew immediately that neither of them was SoonerCoug.

                                Just to provide some context for everyone:

                                Levin, Majo, and I were best friends in high school. We were also co-valedictorians (although I at least one more AP class than the others). Levin is the only one who still goes to church, but I predict his apostasy.
