The letter reads that the first presidency had rulled Oral Sex an unnatual, inpure, or unholy practice.

Not to escalate things, but to CALMLY let him know It doesn't matter what convos you have with his wife, popping over to lecture you is unacceptable behavior, and will not be tolerated.

You think bringing an electric guitar into the chapel will immediatly put a crack in the floor, opening it up to bowels of Hell and allow Satan in. You thing playing "Rook" with "Rook" cards is suitable for FHE, but playing "Spades" with a regular deck is devil worshiping.

I was never called on, But I can remember this happening once a year or so. What was the evil sin of just letting us go a few mins early? Was this to discourage people from planning short "talks" (still bugs me calling these assigned speeches, lectures or short sermons, "talks") to get done early?

and being very disapointed by; a.) It WAS just an "extra church". b.) There was no Fire to be beside. I had visions of singing songs and making smores, and generally having a good time by a fireplace or campfire. Sitting in a hard chair listening to yet another lecture about "suggestive lyrics in modern music" was not what I had in mind!

If a white kid acts too black, he gets put down for it also. I also have seen a person of latino descent get put down because he couldn't speak spanish (he lived in Iowa his whole life). If you act outside the "norm" for your race/group, somehow you are saying "your race/group is not good enough for you". It's stupid logic, but you will find it anywhere, with any people

I was taking the sleeper cell approach, by just trying to crack jokes, and give light hearted answers, mispelling words on purpose of course, to try to gain everyones trust, and think me harmless....

Ask easy questions; 1. What is your favorite football team/ who do you root for? If it's BYU move them to the "very likely" catagory. If it is any other Utah School put them in a "maybe". 2. Who are you rooting for in the upcomming presidetial election? (I don't think I need to explain this one.) Not a fan of sports or politics? then try 3. Did you watch "The Sin
