Howz it goin? Just thought I'd say g'day:D

Im Aussie and the words damn and hell arent swear words. Also R rated movies in Seppo Ville are only rated M15+ here in Oz. To tell someone you are "pissed" or "piss off" is swearing to me. Im a huge Simpsons fan and a missionary couple looked down on me for admitting that, then in the following sentence the Elder used the word geez. To me thats offensive. I think that if you cant say it in front of your mum, children, bishop, the prophet or heavenly father, then it must be wrong. But definately doesnt reflect on the strength of your testimony IMHO:D

There are no covenants made in the temple to keep the word of wisdom. Why?

Its rated MA here down under which stands for Mature Audience. I stayed up and watched it one night and it really touched me. Made me wonder if it was really that bad for Jesus Christ? Did he suffer that much as showed in the movie? A normal human being could not have endured that much torture Im sure? The whippings he got were enough to make me turn my head away from the TV. Especially the whip with the hooks on the end of it! I passed out when I hit my thumb with a sledge hammer causing my nail to hang from a piece of skin. The pain was intence! It makes me feel so grateful that my older brother Jesus Christ has been through all he did just for me. Thats why I love him and want to see him again. But my bishop told us that he didnt want to see the movie as he can read it in the scriptures. He also said he would rather see a movie about his birth or resurrection. We celebrate his life and the knowledge that we know that HE LIVES. By the way the movie was great but I wouldnt let my kids see it :)
