No Porn and Corn

Again, you're doing it wrong.

I said "greased up like that." You shouldn't be using melted butter on your wang. I'm sorry you had to find this out from me.

What about softened butter?

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.

It's funny, now that I have played it I am seeing them everywhere. Probably I'm just dialed into it now.

I think that is it. I'm sure you have seen it somewhere before, maybe at the u before a game. You should try that ladder game, you will like it.

Some of the fancy corn hole set ups can cost hundreds of dollars (Not THAT, sickos, I'm talking about the game) but you can get some plain ones for fairly cheap. Kids love it, too.

Students of corn hole history will see this as yet another opportunity to Thanks, Dayton (area)!

Any connection with porn and corn is just wrong.

They call it Bags here in Chicago...not too fond of the corn holes in these parts.

So.... what was discussed at the meeting last night?! And what were the treats!?!?

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.

Another point of view: Porn is causing trouble and pain in the lives of many church members, to the point that President Hinckley himself devoted a General Priesthood meeting talk to the subject. I am seeing evidence of the problem in our ward and stake, and I am not even a bishop. I don't think it's an "obsession" at all, it's just strong response to a what is seen as a serious problem.

I don't have a problem with the church beating this drum. I think it would be interesting to see what the response would be if we spent as much time on loving our gay brothers and sisters.

I'm curious about this statement. In what way are you seeing evidence of the problem? Divorce? Countenance? Whenever we have a porn lesson or talk I always look around to try to find the guilty party, but for the life of me I can't figure out who are the porn freaks among us.

Blindness and hairy palms.

People nervously stuffing scraps of paper back into their scriptures.

Once, while I was on my mission, there was a very nice single mother in one of our branches. She was divorced with two awesome little kids. We helped her kids with their pine wood derby cars. Great family.

I was sitting next to the mother once in Gospel Doctrine (she was sitting on the other side of the aisle, so all that separated us was about 3 or 4 feet of carpet). The teacher asked us to turn to some scripture. This sister got her scriptures out and began to open them when a photograph fell out. I glanced down as it fell, thinking I could pick it up for her. She very quickly lunged for the photo and stuffed it back into her scripture case, but not before I could see that it was a nude photo of her taken as she was getting out of the shower. I just looked straight ahead, pretending I didn't see anything. I have no idea who would keep that sort of photo in their scriptures.

I'm going to make a fun prediction and conjecture that one of the Apostles will use the term "app" or "iPad" and will make reference to the Church's "YouTube" channel.

That same Apostle will likely have no idea how to boot up a computer, but won't admit it from the pulpit.
