Here is a post from BC on MAD. The topic was "Raising the Bar". They are discussing prerequisite standards for LDS missionaries.

QUOTE
I have not read the policy, but it sounds fairly open to interpretation and seems focused especially on sexual transgression. Is it possible, however, that the leaders of the Church have made a mistake?

BC wrote:I'd say no. If there were statistics, I'll bet they'd show a low rate of actual and permanent repentence. Sex once tried, frankly, is usually very difficult to give up. There is a reason why the apostle Paul says it is better to marry than to burn (with lust). It is similar to why you see virulent antiMormons, such as those who inhabit mormondiscussions.org, constantly talking and worrying about sex. They are similarly afflicted and/or they know that sex and porn are the best ways to get an active LDS person to fall.

(Bold emphasis mine)

I'm curious, BC. What are we all constantly talking and worrying about in regards to sex?

Care to list some examples?

Sincerely,

A virulent MDB inhabitant

Reality check for BC:

Porn in Utah.

Note the comments:

I’d say such folks are seriously conflicted.

“One natural hypothesis is something like repression: if you’re told you can’t have this, then you want it more,” Edelman says.

I think it was Swaggart who liked sleazy end-of-the-line truck stop hookers while preaching loudly about sexual immorality.

And let's not forget that "happiness is the purpose and design of our existence".

Did I say all?

Sure.

LOL. A Mormon poster on MAD actually did that once. He accidentally posted a porn link while debating.

I don't know, BC.

My opinion is that a Mormon that doesn't watch over the families he's been called to shepherd (home teaching and his own family), doesn't emulate Christlike charity, are the ones that are not active, but are fallen and they don't even know it.

Of course, to fall, we assume a falling saint has somehow climbed above the bottom that you believe people fall to.

I think you're giving sex and porn way too much credit. Anyone can change - some addictions aside.

BC, I find your comments pious, and devoid of a basic understanding of the miracle of forgiveness (not Kimball's perspective, but that of Book of Mormon/New Testament Jesus').

BC, so you think that a thread started about Mark Peterson is a good example of "constantly and worrying" about sex?

How about the other Peterson, the bishop one, the one that asks his interviewees about their sexual activities? The one that grills about the intimate details of their sexual preferences, positions, and I need not go one about that perversion that he and many bishops do on a regular interviewing basis. This happens from 8 years old and on up.

It is your church that is obsessed with sex. It started with Joe and continues into every interview and advancement that anyone tries to achieve in your church through the interviewing process and moral beatings they get from lectures from the likes of (both) Peterson's. Every Mormon couple has a sex policeman, their bishop, in their bedroom with them. The lowly masses never invented the "little factories" speech.

BC, please open your eyes and join reality.

That's hilarious. Just made my day.

I'm a healthy male between the ages of 12 and death. I am going to have some preoccupation with sex. Despite that I do all sorts of other productive things, so it's not really a problem. Preoccupation isn't the same as obsession.
