Yes, it's equal to blank! Blank is all I could come up with! I got my BA for cheap. Sure, I got what I paid for, but now, 45 years after my graduation (I was rearranging the closet and came across the only candid that was taken that day: me in my robes, my BYU bride by my side and we're flanked by my parents, who as Lamanites were told by security they had to be off campus by dark) I can hon

I somehow got a hold of the idea that it was like scouting. Those who stuck around rather than follow Lucifer, started racking up the merit badges. I, as a filthy, despicable future Lamanite, was obviously a bit of a slacker. My beautiful White and delightsome (and then some) girlfriend obviously did much better with the merit badges... Thus, in my mind, the penalty of being born with the M

Mormons are Millennium believers. Jesus Christ will come again and there will be 1000 years of theocracy, during which temple work and golf will be our main occupations. You can either read Revelations in the bible or watch the American Dad episode about the apocalypse. They are equally the truth, in a sort of fictional way.

It was on R(abb)it... "Unfortunately, we see some very poor role models of womanhood in today’s society. We see women boxers and wrestlers as we flip through the television channels trying to find something uplifting. I believe the women of our time need to be strong, but not in that sense. In my opinion, these activities demean the nobility of womanhood." https://www.lds.org/ge

I want to be free of, and from, illusions. I want a healthy balance of self-service and giving back to my community. I want personal freedom, but agree to live in harmony with others, realizing that frictions will inevitably arise and need to be dealt with. This will probably be a never ending source of conflict and because of our genetics, violence will never end. But neither should our atte

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. I ran over and stopped where I could talk to him. He was crying, his hair was tousled and unkempt. I called out to him. He turned to look at me, and I saw a wild look in his eyes. I locked eyes with him and said, as calmly as I could, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?"
