Just one of those 3am starring at the ceiling thoughts.

There must be some bits of life untouched by the morg (for a TBM), yes?

Well done on the list! I do have to say that all the talks on 'gathering to Zion' did tell Mormons to gather to certain locations. Now the counsel is to gather into groups of Mormons and 'enlarge the Stakes of Zion', so most TBMs follow this command by moving into areas with as many Mormons as possible. So, Where to live, check

Transportation choices - check. Never be alone in a car with a member of the opposite sex who is not your spouse or family member.

Political pressure - check (oops, presleynfactsrock already mentioned this one below).

Who can attend your wedding - check.

Who should speak at your funeral - check.

Actually, I had a bishop who said I would not be allowed assistance from church welfare unless I got rid of my cat.

Certainly individuals determine there are areas of their lives where they just aren't going to allow the church to go, or "rules" that they justify as mere guidelines, etc., but I really can't think of any area of life where the church has not asserted some rule or another.

Whether you (as a child or a teenager), or your offspring (as children or teenagers), can go to ordinary children's and teenage activities and events, while dressed as other ordinary children or ordinary teenagers dress--or NOT.

(Sleepovers...wearing the costume or mask of that person's choice at Halloween or other special events...prom clothes... attire in the family home/yard, or during sports/recreation activities, etc.)

Piss and Shlts is this the same as piddles and poots? I was thinking the same thing.

It did remind me of a guy that if he found an unlocked door, he would go into the steak center and mark his territory on the carpeted walls near the sp offices. I think he ate a lot of honey cereals. What a smell.

They'll let you choose the color of the tie you wear with your long-sleeved white shirt, if you're a dude. They'll let you choose the color of your ankle-length skirt, if you're a woman.

When you start HS, they make you go to seminary at 6 am. On your mission, they tell you to go to bed by 10:30 pm and get up by 6:30 am. You can't even sleep without their permission.

How many early morning meetings do adults have to go to, let alone driving teens to seminary.

That's why i fell from my tbm status. I refused to let them have that much control over my life.

Altho i DID have this question as a church member during my tbm days.
