beastie's point is not about when 'At the ocean' was published, but about what appears to have been SGW's clearly stated interest in writing more erotica at a time when he was describing himself as an active and believing LDS:
beastie wrote:You have repeatedly claimed you were out of the church when you wrote your erotica. Yet, on your cached myspace profile, you clearly contradict that claim. You mentioned receiving a church calling, and also state this:
As an up and coming author, I am attempting to develop a new form of Hardboiled Detective mystery with Erotica as the backdrop. I enjoy all things sensual, intense, passionate, intimate and seductive while attempting to accomplish the goal of hooking the reader into the world of words where they transform into a very intense descriptive realm the reader can be lost in.
with the very next paragraph saying
Also, am interested in meeting other people who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), and those who enjoy writing, have a taste for classic literature, and those who enjoy good philosophical discussions.
I have asked you this question repeatedly on two other threads, only to be ignored each time. I am hoping that you will finally answer the question on this thread.
This does not sit well with his obvious attempts to give the impression that his period of pornographic writing was limited to before his current period of church membership, does it?
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
I'm a little in the dark on this. Why can't a person be an active Mormon and also write erotic stories? Does this practice break the law of chastity, thereby preventing entrance into the holy house of God?

Hi Zeez,
I would gather that Mormon God wouldn't smile down upon something as "sacred" as the topic on hand, being tossed around like this from such stalwart members of his Majestic Army, against the dark forces which are. . . the devil!! For such carnal actions must be a manifestation of Satans hold over an individual. The writer in question, rather, should have his thoughts single to that of the furthering the Lords wonderful gospel on the earth. . . not wrapped up in such lustful indulgence.
