I have always tried to follow policy. Came home from my mission, always kept my face clean shaven, hair short, wore a white shirt, conservative tie. Suit to church on Sunday. But I by nature am conservative. I judge not and find it laughable those who have to get up in church and make a big thing about being individuals and wearing a beard, colored shirt, etc. If that is what they want to do then let them have at it. As I recall it is not one of the questions on the afore mentioned temple recommend interview. I prefer to see the sacrament passed by young men in long sleeve white shirts that are buttoned up and not with the sleeves rolled up as if it were a casual event. Since I work with the Deacons I can mention it to them. No one is kicked out of Deacon's quorum because of it. Keep the commandments. Follow policy, if you are comfortable with it, if not don't but don't expect to be able to fully participate. As mentioned earlier must be clean shaven to officiate in the temple. Ben Raines

I have seen the letter, talking about facial hair, that you are not to have facial hair if officiating in the temple. Policy not doctrine. Ben Raines

Yes Hordak, not her first rodeo for sure. :) Ben Raines

MPAA is a US governing body. Motion Picture Association of America Doesn't apply to other countries. Ben Raines

Somewhere I heard about being taught correct principles and then being allowed to govern ourselves. Not scripture but a good quote. Ben Raines

Yes the endowment session is still a live performance. So is Salt Lake City. The rest are video presentations. Ben Raines

Pam, I am tattling on JD. Tell you sister he called her an "Old Lady". LOL. Ben Raines

Welcome Ben Raines

This is turning in to a pretty good game. Ben Raines

Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead. Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You've made your decision then? Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I? Man in Black: Australia. Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You're just stalling now. Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work. Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS! Man in Black: Then make your choice. Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be? Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets] Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything. Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours. Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ] Man in Black: You guessed wrong. Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly, and falls dead to the right]

Pam, as much as I want Chargers to win that call was bad. Raiders should have had a touchdown. I never have, never will cheer for the Raiders. Ben Raines

Pam, start a thread of favorite movie lines. I think it would be a hoot. Make sure only PG-13 or better. Ben Raines

Captain Over this is Captain Under, Captain Under this is Captain Done. Over, Under, Done. Ben Raines

Airplane, the parody of the Airport movies. Probably one of the first parody movies after all that was done by Mel Brooks. No one does parody better than Mel Brooks. Ben Raines

Striker and he hits her. LOL Ben Raines

Mrs. Cleaver speaking jive. So funny. Ben Raines

Airplane the Movie with Leslie Nielsen and a cast of many. Love the movie. Ben Raines

Will Pam even have time to be online for the next three hours? Lets see, the Chargers have beaten the Raiders eleven straight games, I don't think it will be a challenge for the Chargers. Ben Raines

in the pint or a larger bottle? Doctor in a bottle. Ben Raines

and back when Pam had it done the only meds were ether to put her out and a little jack daniels to ease the pain. Ben Raines

Was not a reference to Mary, the Mother of Christ, but a play on merry in "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" or in 2012. Ben Raines

No one will be able to run for office in 2012. Haven't you all read that the world is ending in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar ending. Eat, drink and be Mary. Well if you want to. Ben Raines

Didn't know he was gay. Richard SimmonsAKA Milton Simmons Born: 12-Jul-1948 Birthplace: New Orleans, LA Gender: Male Religion: Roman Catholic [1] Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Matter of Dispute Occupation: Fitness Guru Nationality: United States Executive summary: Flamboyant weight loss guru

I have found a number of people who live a gay lifestyle to be nice people. I don't like what they do but they are nice people. Feel the same way about people who live together without being married. Don't like what they are doing but they are nice people. Something about hating the sin and loving the sinner. Ben Raines

The rider is a Saint. :) Ben Raines
