  1. I don't understand why a policy such as this is buried in a handbook that is not widely publicized to the members. I realize it is available on lds.org, but I stumbled upon it by chance. I have never heard it announced to the general membership that we should reference it or that it was available.
  2. Let's be honest, that picture doesn't show much more than an average shampoo commercial
  3. I suggest discussing with a YW leader first, and then the bishop, maybe even having the YW leader with you when you meet with the bishop. I question the appropriateness of a YW discussing such things one on one with a male adult.
  4. how do you propose we feed the world without GMO?
  5. I find it funny that you refer to info published by Rodale as "facts"
  6. Nothing puts a smile on my face during a boring trip to the grocery store like seeing a nice pair of yoga pants
  7. The olympics has me really wanting that Anschutz 1827F. I think I could win gold if I had one of those
  8. Climbing may not have been the greatest example. Paintball may be better. BSA prohibits paintball. Easy way around that is ym activity
  9. That's my point. Say you want to do a climbing activity that is not approved by the council. Do you not do the activity, or relabel it a YM activity instead of scouting to get around it?
  10. While they normally go hand in hand, there are some activities that are restricted by BSA that are not specifically restricted by the church/ym program. What are your thoughts on simply classifying an activity as "ym" to get around the bsa restriction?
  11. I sold Ford trucks for about a year. I was amazed at what I found out about Chevys. Don't get me started on Toyota......
  12. No way would I touch a Kirby. Besides being way over priced, some of the most dishonest and disgusting sales tactics out there.
  13. Silver Linings Playbook. Best movie I've seen in probably 10 years
  14. Rumor has it that Colonel Sanders puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it.
  15. No, you put words in my mouth. I clarified. No, I do not believe making out is in any violation of council given.
  16. I do not consider making out, outside of the chapel, to be an inherently inappropriate behavior, if that is what you are asking.
  17. I agree. I recommend all chapel nose pickers see their bishop at once before it leads to more serious sin :)
  18. clearly. I view the location of the activity being inappropriate, not the activity itself.
  19. Just to clarify, I am not condoning making out in a chapel. That's what back seats of a Buick are for :)
  20. Do we make as big a deal when we see someone running through the chapel, or loud conversations, eating, casual lounging? All equally as inappropriate but somehow adults making out appears like some great sin. I don't see where anything more than a stern look or asking them to behave or leave is necessary
  21. I don't understand the need to tell a member of the presidency, names or not. While the location may not have been the most appropriate place, we are talking about 2 adults. A simple, Please take that someplace else' seems suffice.
  22. Single action, .45 perfection
