No Porn and Corn

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Alrighty, for all you folks that live in Traverse Mountain, I hope your wives enjoy their time at the "No Porn and Corn" meeting.

This was sent to me by my sister who attends a ward in the area:

"We are having a meeting about protecting your families against pornography. We feel impressed of the importance of this meeting and hope all can come. It will be Wed. Oct. 6 at 7pm at the church. We're calling it "No Porn and Corn" and we'll have corny treats."

I want to know who is sponsering the activity?

[DapperDan]

That title reminds me of an infamous internet image that would definitely be on the "don'ts" list at their get together.

[PaloAltoCougar]

The title reminds me of a talk Hugh Nibley gave about generosity and communal support, citing a motto of the Hopi Indians that "If one has corn, we all have corn." I wonder if I misheard him and he was referring to porn. Either way, it's a touching sentiment.

It would be really fun if they played Corn Hole at the activity.

Which ward? I think there are 8 TM wards now. And 7 units in the stake that aren't in TM.

Do others in N Utah have 14-ward + a spanish branch stakes ?

Hmmm... makes more sense with porn. You can share porn pretty easily. How do you share corn? I speak the kernels, you can have the cob.

I thought the message was that one shouldn't eat popcorn while watching porn. Its not smart to get your parts all greased up like that.

Again, you're doing it wrong.

I was introduced to this game this year when the beach house we rented had it. That is a very fun and addictive game.

This anti-porn obsession in the Church is out of control. I don't get it.

Also, what is there regarding porn to talk about for more than a few seconds?

Don't look at porn. It's gross. It exploits, objectifies and demeans women. It can become an addiction (where people spend a ton of money, skip work, etc.) for a few people. I agree with all of that.

But perspective has been completely lost in the Church. Porn is considered a much bigger deal than it really is. It is absolutely ludicrous that there are so many people in the Church who think that occasionally viewing soft-core porn is a act that should destroy families and lead to divorce.

There are millions of happily married men who subscribe to soft core stuff like Playboy. It's a NORMAL thing and there is no reason whatsoever that it should destroy lives or families. My wife's grandpa still keeps his Playboy out in his den when we go visit and my wife says he has done that for 30+ years. He's a great guy with a great marriage and it's a total non-issue with his wife, as I think it should be. It's not an addiction, and it doesn't mean he hates his wife or is a bad person.

What is the big deal with nudity? It's just a naked body. If anything, sometimes I think the best cure for people looking at porn would be if everybody just saw a lot more naked people (in real life) a lot more frequently and the developed a more clinical rather than sexual attitude toward nudity and sex. It almost seems like the forbidden nature of porn to LDS people just fuels the interest and desire to look at porn.

I feel impressed that this meeting, or at the very least its title, is a bad idea.

It is quite fun to play but you need to start going to more football games starting about forever ago. This game is a staple at football tailgates. See also beer pong and that one game where you throw the Bolos at that small wooden ladder. I don't know what it is called but it is really fun.

When we were at Tallahassee, some of the tailgaters invited us to play beer pong. They were cool enough to make it soda pong for us. I got blitzed on seven up and cranberry.
