You are a decent man. I hope all is well with you my friend. I may be in your area in early January. If so I will let you know and maybe we can do lunch.
Jason,
I would be honored. You're one of the good ones. Drop me an email, and we'll get together if and when you're out here.

The prospects are pretty much all or nothing. In practice, it doesn't work that way. If you are in the right circle of friends, have money, and so on, no doubt you can get away with virtually whatever you want. But for a teen, sure, as soon as Satan enters the stage of the mind and is entertained for 5 seconds, it's all over.

Mormonism creates the need to hate the self due to typical human behavior. It is in their interest that Mormon leaders ensure that there is always a method to depreciate the members sense of self. Through this one is able to more effectively manipulate the self-hating individual.
Masturbation and pornography are healthy.

Unless I am mis-reading him, it seems he is admitting to personally have a "problem" with porn. Thus, we have yet more evidence that the LDS Church has created yet another pornography addict.
I wouldn't say this serves as such evidence, but it does show how unnecessarily destructive the Mormon mindset is to someone who enjoys porn.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I think he is referring to the hairy palms it causes. As a teenager I was scared to death of getting hairy palms.
