Giving up nude clogging would go a long way, DHelm.

I'm not so sure. I had never heard of this Temple ritual, but they are supposed to be secret (sacred). I'm wondering. If this was publicized and promoted by the LDS media professionals, could it draw in more converts?

Think how spectacular the finale of "River Dance" would have looked in the nude.

How could you even try to keep track of all the bouncing bits? You'd get dizzy trying to keep up.

The trick is to concentrate on just two (or one if that's your preference).

A friend of mine mock-accused me the other day of belonging to a religious cult.

I told him I was offended by the word "religious."



All the Best!

The church should consider something like this.
