Good point. It's not like he asked her if she ever had any relations with girls and she lied about it. Don't ask, don't tell.

Hoops, by the way, I love that avatar of yours.

There you go again, pretending to know something you don't. Doesn't that ever get tiring?

I guess not. You'd actually have to be honest with yourself long enough to recognize you don't actually know the stuff you claim you do.

Actually, it's tonight - in 6 hours from now. :)

There are lots and lots of cool things I would just love to bring up. Unfortunately, I'm not brave enough to say them. I was brave enough to tell the sister missionaries about my paganism. So, you can see I look at older Mormon men differently than younger Mormon women. Hmmm, that isn't right....

Dude, it's completely right!

I'd be very concerned about myself if I looked at old men the same way I look at young women.

Mormonism is very authoritarian, and it's tough to let go of thinking of these guys as authoritative, somehow. I don't have any useful advice because I haven't been where you are, but I wish you the best of luck. May Athena smile on you tonight.

Are you nervous? I hope not. You're so far ahead of that old guy that you will be able to dance circles around him (in a polite way).

I hope all goes well.

What's tough for some is easy for others. I've never had to feel the authoritarian nature of my religion. Its just never felt that way, as many times I've sat in the presense of SP's and Bishop's and the like. Its sometimes odd to me to try and imagine how other's people's experience differs so much from mine, but I like to try.

So does being so far ahead mean refraining from participating in Mormonism? I can't tell since you most likely don' tknow this old guy zee is talking about. Are Mormons just behind everyone no questions asked?

Thank you! That is very kind.

She does smile down on people.
