  1. What an amazing argument. As a teenager and young adult, my hair was grown to my waist. However, the best I could ever come up with was "Jesus had long hair". I do remember snide, under the breath remarks from other members towards me, but I didn't care. I went to church and studied for my own purposes. Now my hair is short. But only because I don't look handsome and trendy anymore with the hair. I look more slovenly with the onset of age!
  2. Suzie-- I was only stating the questioning of my maturity. I also have strong opinions on certain subject matters and can get a little caught up in a zealous spirit sometimes. Anyway, I love you all-- even the ones I don't agree with! I am sure their are plenty of other things that we agree on. Adieu
  3. Yes, you are right. 12 year old boys should have a greater level of maturity when it comes to an exposed breast. Amazing that all you can do is try and attack me on merits of supposed maturity and wondering whether or not I was breast fed. I am stating obvious truths to women who are clearly unaware of the youthful male mind. I am not personally affected by a mother breastfeeding her child. However, not only was I once a youth, I am also a father. So you can scream and call foul all you want. You can make personal, juvenile attacks on me based in name calling and insults. That does not prove your point that I am wrong. I think you know that I am right, and are annoyed that a woman Can not breastfeed (which, I might add is a beautiful, and natural act that not only affords the child with more nutrition, but helps with a greater lock of bonding between mother and child). Bit this isn't about the mother and her child's comfort. You are asking everyone around you to accept the act, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it might make others feel. You may not be in the U.S. so my statements might make no sense. But to force others to accept your thoughts on your ideas is absurd. And as for whether or not the woman said her breast was covered? I am pretty sure that I made mention in my post that did not know if this was the case. I AM TALKING ABOUT AN EXPOSED BREAST AROUND YOUNG BOYS! Most young boys have a touch of mischievousness. Unless you think they are already at a perfect state-- but then, how could you see them? They would more than likely be translated. I come from a very large family. My mother breast fed. My mother had the good sense of either covering herself up, or excusing herself to a private location.
  4. Get a clue. We are talking about boys 12 years of age. Do you really want to pretend that the concept doesn't exist? I'll let you in on something; National Geographic was a big hit with the boys when I was 12. You ladies can either go place your head in the sand and pretend the mere notion of a 12 year old boy who holds the priesthood is above such thoughts, or wake up! Gimme a break... room full of blinded whiners.
  5. Well, firstly, it's not wise to try and fault with bishop's council. I am sure his request for the comfort of those around. Secondly, here in the States, when women breastfeed, they tend to cover up with a blanket over the child and shoulder. I live with my brother and his wife who is now breastfeeding. She covers when I am in the room. I don't know if you are covering up or not. But I can tell you, that if you are not, from a male perspective, there will be a few teenage boys that might be more willing to offer you the sacrament when you are breastfeeding. No matter how beautiful the act of nursing is, it still exposes a body part that can excite young boys (and older) :) However, if you are indeed covering up with a blanket over your child and shoulder, I don't see the problem. We may not agree with what are bishops say, but it is our responsibility to listen and heed their council. He may have a perspective on the matter that you don't. Some people may have complained about the act. He needs to take the concerns of others in consideration. The last thing we need is our priesthood holders to lose the spirit of the sacrament over an exposed breast.
  6. Listen. There will always be a market for a GOOD story with rich characters overcoming insurmountable odds. When writing your story, just make sure that the characters are some that your readers will cry for, root for, and follow them wherever they go... bad or good. Great story will always have a market.
  7. So, am I to understand that the most of you in this thread are more into animation, rather than live film? Are any of you capable of intigrating your skills into live shots?
  8. Let's keep this simple, shall we? The temple is a sacred place where sacred ordinances are performed. Marriage for eternity is one such thing. To gain entrance to a sacred and holy place, one must be worthy. The marriage celebration can easily be shared with loved ones in the form of a reception. Don't get your feelings hurt because your daughter believes in certain truths that has given her the blessing of an eternal companion. If you care to share in her joy for these blessed abilities, I encourage you to learn more. Otherwise, you are only condemning your daughter and her beliefs. TITHING-- If tithing is the only thing that is keeping you from the Celestial kingdom, Then sir, you are not very far from the top of the mountain However, I am assuming, and maybe wrongfully so, that you are not a member. To take issue with a commandment that is thousands of years old is the least of your worries. Let me just state that before you scorn, it might be adventitious for you to do some serious study of scripture on your own, and kneel down in prayer to ask if Heaven really has a toll attached to it. The mere concept of Tithing is to show the Lord that you recognize His hand in all things to your temporal survival, and giving him a portion back of what he has given you. Abel did it. Although, it did cause a bit of sibling strife. Now that is indeed a heavy price to pay.
  9. Hello all! Glad to be part of this community. I have been a member of the church since being blessed as a baby:) However, I have always allowed one foot to slide into Babylon. I have resolved to plant both feet squarely where they belong. On Gospel sod.
