Unusual sexual discussion in Church

[pellegrino]

I am sure it is always the wmoan's fault.

I'm beginning to think that you misspell things on purpose sometimes. Intended or not, it's brilliant.

I can think of one form of religious manipulation that really bugs me. I hate it when you are in the middle of some kind of leadership meeting and somebody pulls out the "but I prayed about it and this is what we supposed to do" trump card as a last ditch effort to rescue a particularly bad idea.

Of course, the worst form of this as a tool of manipulation is "I have prayed about it and you are supposed to be my wife."

I am not so sure. I have had quite a few situations where my spirit was uplifted.

I've got to say I think I know where Indy's first question came from. When the discussion turned from masturbation to manipulation of women, I had a totally different picture of the conversation than how it turned out.

You apparently don't have keys to the mother's lounge.

Go on...

[Viking]

No. But I don't think I could ever get it on knowing how much lactating and dirty diaper changing occurs there.

[Indy Coug]

No. But I don't think I could ever get it on knowing how much lactating and dirty diaper changing occurs there.

So your house doesn't get much utility either?

This is when you just bust out D&C 121:41 and tell them that you will know that it is a true revelation when they have persuaded you.
