[Portland Ute]

Yes, we BYU fans don't tolerate facial hair or people who can't spell judgmental.

I think he has you there Donut. No defence to a dictionary entry. Better just apologise.

A mere acknowledgement that there was no misspelling in my post will suffice.

I wonder if gay relationships end for the same reasons as straight relationships.

I'll bet they do.

[DU Ute]

The CB crowd is having a tough time wrapping their brains around this one.

The difference is that unlike your examples the variants on the word at issue are both accepted in the US, albeit with the typical preference for the version without the 'e.'

[Viking]

Never. Unless such union is sexless. Evenso...

Edit: If this is true, I doubt he lasts long. I don't understand how he can be a church leader considering his clear statement that he has recently been, and is unrepentant of, blatant breaking of that sin almost as bad as murder. And he intends to do it again. Doesn't make any sense.

Almost as bad as murder?? Ponder that for a moment....

Never. Until you researched that, you had no idea you were using the British version of the word. Also, the British version of the word is wrong.

[Viking]

I'm merely repeating the official doctrine of the church. I didn't say whether I agreed.



Really? Did you read his statement?

Where did he say he was sexually involved? You have one helluva imagination, Ace!

[Viking]

But welcome Viking's tithing!

Yes but said tithing shall be calculated as 10% of my year over year change in personal equity (as it should be), not 10% of my total revenue as the rest of you pay!!

I always thought a big part of the reasoning behind that concept was because getting it on out of wedlock is tinkering with the powers of life. If this is the case I don't think gay sex is quite as serious.

I'll bet this dude becomes sexually active again and stays in his calling, which is fine by me.

We had a bishop in my home town that hired hookers and remained bishop for one year after being arrested for attempting to hire an undercover cop hooker while he was on his way home from the statehouse. (He was also a state representative.)

His son gave a girl a blessing as they watched her die slowly all night from a methadone overdose rather than call an ambulance to take her to the hospital. (Incidentally, this same son was chosen over me to go to Boys State because he was an Eagle Scout and I wasn't.)

I'd dare say that most Mormons would be vastly more appalled by a gay counselor than a bishop who hires hookers.

That didn't last very long.

I'm going to kick you in the fanny.

Good lord. You and your stories.
