I remember I had to read a book in Middle School that had a lot of Lord's name in vain and a lot of other profanities. I managed to get through it. The thing that made me mad was the teacher never warned us about that. If she had warned us, I am sure my parents would have never let me read it. But I was already into the text and so I begrudingly read it. Too late to get out of it. The thing is, that society is teaching us that these things are normal. So it gets passed on as normal. It isn't normal. As followers of the Church we have to break this cycle and make sure to reiterate that the stuff in books and on tv and film screens are not normal and not the way things should be.

Some very young single girls here. I am 26, graduating from UNLV and looking. Thing is, trying to find a decent young man who isn't taken and is a member.

Welcome to the forum. I agree difficult and shaky issue to talk about. I am sure I have had some experiences in the past, but I tend to white wash areas that I've considered grey in my life. In otherwords, I've had my moments of being depressed and considered the end of my existance. But I've gotten over them thanks to the love of family, and the loving guidence of the Bishop. If that's white wash, then I am glad for it. And that's all I'll talk about my dark moments.

It's not just movies you know. It's also books and stories. Unless you plan on writing YA (Young Adult) books. Good luck on the story circuit. A lot of people think that stories have to have sex and graphic descriptions. I refuse to go there in writing. I lke the tameness of Young Adult literature. There are good morals and good decent characterizations. I am also writing a screenplay for my last semester of my university life. Now the things in my screenwriting class, some of the scripts are enough to make a sailor blush. Now I am only writing a 25 page script, but my material is good and clean. Their is no sex, and the romance is a cheesy teen comedy story, which is in the style of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and pehaps a bit of Ugly Betty. But it's all clean and nothing dirty. It's possible to write something clean, but I doubt he writers will do it. I cringe at the word censorship. I want to write whatever comes into my head, but just to let you know my head is mostly clean. One has to wonder what is in the heads of other writers.

They were showing it on BYUTV tonight and I saw it. I thought it was wonderful. They are also showing it tomorrow night as well. So check out your TV listings to see it.

Very true. My best friend in high school was Muslim. Her family had moved to the US from Saudi Arabia. We had lots of conversations together. Eventually she took the missionary discussions and became a member of the Church. Her family, except for her father, all became members of the Church. The only sad thing is that her family can not go back to Saudi Arabia. Muslims have a very harsh penality about changing faiths.

My brother has Downs Syndrome. Now he can be the most stubborn and unwilling at times. But he is the sweetest and most loving of God's children.When he was given his blessing as babe by my father, it was given that he would be loved. And this is true. Everyone we have met that has been around him has shown lots of love and compassion towards him. He is truely a blessed child of our Father in Heaven. I believe that God has all given us weakness and trials in this life to overcome. With the veil that comes to us at birth, our weakness and our imperfections shine though. This is a time we are to work on them and improve ourselves. I do not believe that my brother was not valient. I think he was a very valient person to choose to come with a body that was malformed and with imperfections. He choose to come and to work on being the best he could be. As for me, I've learned that I am my brother's keeper.
