Like the Victorians with the word "virtue," LDS have hijacked the meaning of the word "modesty."Originally posted by pellegrino View Post
There's nothing modest about the obsession pellegrino describes."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

Insanity.
But I don't think the problem is rogue employees pursuing some bizarre obsession. It is a central directive. Scroll to the bottom:

Because of the need to present women and girls modestly, regardless of age, please avoid submitting photos of them in sleeveless tops and dresses or short skirts."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Doesn't matter if not a single person noticed it. This is unhealthy behavior, to the point of obsession. This is not how normal people think about children.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

Is it the entire state? I don't remember doing that when I was there. I'm sure I was there when at least one temple was dedicated.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post
You can still bring a white handkerchief to church, and be in solidarity with your Utah comrades.

Wow. I've never seen that page before. Lot's of great advice there. It's no wonder that we have so many popular mom bloggers and part time, semi professional baby photographers in the church.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
My favorite parts were the section on grouping people and this final piece:
It's an interesting distinction they make here. They opt to eliminate people, not activities. I could be reading too much into it, but as much word smithing as the church gets involved in, maybe I'm not.Photos that include people who do not represent the teachings of the Church (in their dress, grooming, gestures, and so on).I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.Comment
