Moksha

I hear what you mean about biasing such a survey, at least in the interest of Media Science. So, if I were a current BYU student and gave answers like, "Who the heck was Walter Cronkite?" and "Daddy says that Glenn Beck is the swellest ever!", I would keep them to myself so as not to influence my fellow Zoobies.

Those other conferences should realize that with just a simple request from a GA, bowl games could be packed with Mormons - complete with baggies full of Cheerios.

I remember seeing signs posted about the Green River Ordinance being in effect since I was a kid. Think it killed off the Fuller Brush business. BTW, doesn't the ATF have a don't knock policy?

Some of the pundits from the PAC-10 were suggesting it had a lot to do with with BYU's primary focus on undergraduate education*. That seems like a pretty flimsy reason considering college sports involve undergraduates. *BS, BA and Mrs.

Best to steer clear. This is like going into a crowded corral and shouting, "A-1".

Sorry, I was doing some time traveling and thinking about future historians pondering some yet to happen events for us, that are still ancient history for the historians. Gets so confusing when you mix in time travel.

Are you asking whether the idolatrous Gods Elkenah, Libnah, Mahmackrah and Korash actually existed as Gods in the Egyptian pantheon or anywhere else?

Good time to go topless? Possibly when you get home from a 100 degree Fahrenheit day and need maximal cooling in front of the air conditioner.

That sounds remarkably like myself except for the long hair, handsome and trendy parts. The worthiness part is like constantly treading water, is it not? Just be the best you and the rest will fall into place. :)

Suzie, definitely an Emperor Penguin, yet I would not be opposed to one of those colorful little tufts on top. Not more than one mind you, since it could be viewed similar to multiple earrings. :) As far as what prestigious means, that would be one of those things ,which would depend on what the person perceives as a greener pasture on the other side of the fence. I know my definition of a desirable calling would vary from one who is a young go-getter or whose family is a veritable who's who of religious leaders. Whatever individual notions one brings to the table would influence what is prestigious for that person. I would not view being a Nursery Teacher or Elders Quorum President as being prestigious because of having to herd kids or young Elders. Someone like that guy from the movie RM might view being an Elders Quorum President as a source of self identity.

I liked seeing The Mysterians when I was six years old. I think it was the Japanese retelling of Hamlet.

Are people fibbing to themselves and others when they say they don't aspire to prestigious positions, because they have been taught that such aspirations are wrong? Isn't saying don't aspire to such positions analogous to telling a teenager not to think about sex?

Q - What symbolic messages can I learn from this story, for my own life, as well as those I might influence in someway?

Get ready for discounts at the Golden Corral, without even needing to ask. BTW, have you purchased your high waist pants yet?

Apparently aspiring to callings in the Church is is a subject on which there is a variety of opinions. My primary question is, what it wrong with aspiring to callings? Seems like a lot of people do have such aspirations, yet in the eyes of some there is something inherently wrong with having such aspirations. If aspirations are wrong in concept, why is there so much reward for the ambitious in the world?

Does this mean that child brides are sanctioned by the State of Utah?

Makes you wonder what politics went on in this ruling over a technicality, when they have refused to consider so many other cases.

Beefche, did you feel an unexplained compelling need to follow?

One does need to watch out for emoticons that go both ways.

wrong place.

Any thought of equating this woman with the desire for wealth, as in:

Hemi, I was able to access Mike's article. It even has some scholarly posters like young Joseph Antley and George Miller discussing it in the comments section. Justice's idea of cutting and pasting is good, but I was hoping somebody else could do it.

I will assume you haven't read it. Here you go:

Can you read the statement and not find a tie in to policy makers?

Revealing blunders could affect somebodies security, but more likely on a career military or contracted level rather than anything national.
