I also found it interesting that the video is embedded into the church website and not hosted on their "Mormon Messages" YouTube channel. I would think people the world over would want to know about this faith promoting opportunity. This must be another instance when the old rule applies: It's not secret it's sacred.

You can also now print out 3x5 or 5x7 cards with Jesus' approved method for cleaning toilets and emptying trash cans. https://www.lds.org/bc/content/ldsorg/callings/meetinghouse-care/cleaning-cards-5x7-v4.pdf?lang=eng Great as Christmas Cards or Pass Along Cards!

The Mall shows the limited world view of church leadership. They built a mall there because they see that area everyday out the windows at the Church Office Building.

Handbook 1 says that if you've had a sexual relationship for an extended period of time or multiple partners you will not be eligible for missionary service. She could always lie. Though I doubt that would work against her Stake President's powers of discernment. /sarcasm/

The information here and on MormonThink in addition to my own experiences have really opened my eyes and made me see that the church is not what it claims to be.
