For Mormons and Exmormons: Object Lessons in Church

[_Zoidberg]

Watch out, LOAP. We are slowly, but surely getting you to agree with our apostate opinions. Escape our Satanic influence while you still can!

It's Mr. Grey Spaceman. According to his friend, "he wasn't always gray, spending a little while on earth turned him gray." [which I don't understand, since he's actually green.]

I thought it was a variation of the bat child:

haha nice

That's it. That's where I thought I saw that picture. Nice avatar.

I wonder what people would think if I used licked ice cream as an object lesson. I've been known to share licked ice cream with my wife. I've also been known to share sweets with brothers or friends, but I always remove the licked part before taking or offering a bite. I've also been known to eat stuff that falls on the floor, but then I usually wash it, boil / cook it, or otherwise sanitize it. I'd say any licked cupcakes would be fine pickings so long as the licked cupcake brushes her teeth, and takes a bath after being licked. I wouldn't mind an extra coat of frosting on her either.

The more I think about licked cupcakes, the more I think that many unlicked cupcakes are worse. I mean, what if a cupcake is unlicked but is 14 years old? Yuck! She'd already be too old and crusty. I want a cupcake that's fresh from the oven. For those who now question whether I have pedocakephilia, let me clarify that fresh cupcakes are about 25 years old in cupcake years.

Frankly, I don't have anything against promoting chastity before marriage. But there are ways to do that without making young women who have experienced sex, or who have been sexually abused, feel like trash.

Totally agree.

Thanks, LifeOnaPlate.

Do you have any idea why Church members on the MAD board are so resistant to this? Don't you think it would make sense to try to make changes, and talk about solutions instead of putting heads in the sand, and claiming the problem doesn't exist?

The reason I was frustrated with your initial response earlier was because you didn't think this was that widespread of an issue, therefore, not a particularly important concern.

I think that even if it isn't a significantly widespread problem...the fact that it is a problem, and has affected several hundred Church members, is, in itself, significant, and should be addressed.

I really don't know why people cling to pisspoor object lessons.

You perv. Next thing you'll be licking the uncooked cupcake batter off the spoon, you sick bastard. Or worse, you'll eat the dry powder straight from the box, or even take pictures of the unopened box. Eww.

Well, good object lessons are great teaching tools. They grab people's attention when utilized properly.

I think that the Teacher Development classes taught by the Church need to address that "less is more" sometimes, in reference to object lessons. They should be used sparingly, and in the right context.

They hold a lasting impact, so they need to be well thought out...particularly when these object lessons are directed at kids.

Hey, taking pictures of the unopened box is like taking pictures of a fetus using ultrasound. It's just so cute to see them like that--at least if it's your cupcake. And yes, I do like licking my own cupcakes, but I like my wife's cupcakes even better. Sometimes we form a three--nay a twelvesome for our cupcake licking. We haven't yet filmed our cupcake time, but I suppose videos are something we'll look into in the future if there's sufficient interest.

They do, though. People don't get it, or they miss it, in some cases.

The visuals my pervy mind are concocting are definitely for the Telestial Forum!
