highlights of the mtc: sleeping (or rather, not being able to fall asleep) in a room with 5 other snoring dudes and then being guilted into waking up with them an hour early every morning so we could all be extra obedient together teaching everyone how to break into the rooms with a vacuum cleaner, note card, and dental floss so that we could get our stash of candy we left in one of the roo

a couple years removed from living in provo and ive already forgotten the lingo. I feel like there were 10 different euphemisms for dry humping. the first time i heard "levi loving" was when a bishop asked me if i was doing it... unfortunately i learned about docking only recently. that would have been a more fun way to have fake sex without feeling guilty. what other sexual acts

zina taught one of my d&c classes at byu. i really liked her. she was my only religion professor that didn't treat her class like a glorified gospel doctrine lesson. a lot of open discussion, and rarely was there a conclusion like, "see morgbots, this is why it is all true". it seemed like every day she had another NDE story to tell. She was really into mysticism and such.

a quick facebook search of scott gale and we have some mutual friends and now i recall having met scott before. Unless the past 3 years at YBU reprogrammed his morgbot chip, this is definitely a spoof. but i'll find out more.

pretty much every area in my mission had a top-notch internet cafe loaded with all the latest games. During my time in the office (before I figured out how to hack the LAN) i spent most of my "pday" at the internet cafe playing need for speed underground and vice city. We didn't really have a pday because mondays were busy compiling end of week stats and generating reports. So we'd gene

how did other missionaries react to you? or were most involved? did you ever confess any of this to the MP?

awesome stories everyone. And now i feel like i was a complete apostate on my mission, although for my mission, i was probably on the more obedient side of the spectrum. My list: 1. daily naps after lunch. the hell we were going to walk around in 100 degree heat and near 100% humidity after stuffing ourselves with undercooked chicken and rice 2. i followed the morning routine for maybe the

original thread closed so.. i am very new to beer. only really taken sips of it when i go out with friends. sips are sometimes tasty, but i can't see myself drinking an entire glass because everything comes across so rich. i like sweet and fruity flavors. i tend to water down lemonade because it is so strong. i was pleasantly surprised that i enjoyed the bud light lime my friends were drinking

the most successful missionaries in my mission had girlfriends, watched movies, looked up porn on pday, looked up porn any other day, and so much more. they were missionaries who worked under the prior MP or were trained by missionaries from the prior MP. The same MP who got his mission to baptize over 600 people the month before he was released. The new MP's obsession with obedience created

Kingdom of Heaven. Balian goes to Jerusalem to repent of his wife's sins but doesnt feel anything. Hospitaller: So, how find you Jerusalem? Balian: God does not speak to me. Not even on the hill where Christ died. I am outside God's grace. Hospitaller: I have not heard that. Balian: At any rate, it seems I have lost my religion. Hospitaller: I put no stock in religion.

wikipedia says the capital beltway is 64 miles long. Assuming it is a perfect circle, a 64 mile circumference gives it a 10 mile radius, which means the area is about 300 square miles. Las Vegas valley is about 600 sq mi. Nevada encyclopedia http://www.onlinenevada.org/las_vegas_mormon_temple estimates mormon population of LV to be ~10%. That'd be 200k members, about 2 times as dense as the capit

i have this fantasy that i learn an obscure language and find a reason to bear my "testimony" in that language during sacrament meeting. Think, when missionaries come back from a foreign mission. id be real solemn, maybe even crack my voice on purpose for effect. but the whole time they think im bearing testimony, im actually talking crap about god, the church, the bishop, etc. then aft
