    If you could have the ear of an apostle for 10 minutes...

    If you could have the undivided attention of an apostle for 10 minutes without fear of retribution if you were to criticize, what would you say to him?

    I don't expect that people's comments would necessarily be critical.

    That they are too damn soft on the whiners and malcontents that would have the church made in their own image.
    Everything in life is an approximation.

      I wouldn't say much at all. But I'd sure listen.

        That they tolerate and pander to the hardass's and pharisees who want it made into their own image.

          Garments. C'mon. Wouldn't a necklace or bracelet suffice?

            John Taylor once said that BYU, "was accepted in the heavens and was a part of the great plan of life and salvation; . . . and there was a bright future in store for . . . preparing . . . the children of the covenant for future usefulness in the Kingdom of God, and that Christ himself was directing, and had a care over this school."

            Do you stand by that?

              Follow-up. If your answer is "yes," could you please rub it in active Mormon Utes' collective faces during the next general conference (and end by saying, "Should've kept your grades up, suckas! I say these things in the name of J-"

                BYU athletics is the cheapest and best PR there is. What would it take to make some adjustments to the honor code and it's enforcement.

                If I had a couple of more minutes, I would ask if GA's bump donors from good seats when BYU is playing in a big time game.

                    I love my garments and wear them religiously. Briefs are too constrictive, and boxers make me feel naked and vulnerable. Garment bottoms are just right.

                      Looks like I will need the full ten minutes.

                        I haven't talked to a girl that actually enjoys wearing them or has found them comfortable. I don't mind them either. I don't think they are a big deal for guys.

                            I find boxer-briefs to be just the right mix.

                              ..... does your wife know you're chatting up other women about their underwear preferences?

                              I don't mind the bottoms. I agree with sooner, they are pretty comfortable. The tops are basically like t-shirts, so not bad either. Its just that sometimes I'd prefer no to wear two t-shirts.
                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
