Yes.
The church needs to lay off the businessmen and start putting psychologists in as GAs.
Of course, that pool would be mighty shallow.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Psychologists tend to be more driven to make a name for themselves than most business men as well.
Utah Psychologists will suck on the big fancy Mormon C*** as soon as the time presents itself in hopes of Making it into a major church calling.
There used to be a tranny Psychiatrist here in Utah but when her secret was divulged he Killed himself. She came to Utah from Parts Unknown and thought he got away with it.

Double entendre?
No.
He graduated from the University of Chicago.
If the operation was done post Chicago or pre Chicago I don't know.
He's dead now, His Husband/Male lover gave me the creeps though....
With the amount of lying the doctor did, I imagine his husband didn't find out his sexual identity until after the good doctor announced their pregnancy at his husband's parents house during the Thanksgiving meal. New Years had to have been another great charade considering a wedding date needed to be in the works. Then of course the horrible, horrible, miss carriage.
DarkHelmet wrote:Another concern among church members is that a porn problem will lead to a homosexuality problem.
[Masturbation] too often leads to grievous sin, even to that sin against nature, homosexuality. For, done in private, it evolves often into mutual masturbation—practiced with another person of the same sex—and thence into total homosexuality.
- Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 78
Porn leads to masturbation which leads to homosexuality. It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that if 70% of the men in the church have a porn problem, it won't take long until the church turns almost totally gay. This is a very serious issue!!!
This nugget of nonsense is why I've long suspected SWK was a closet homosexual. I suspect he blamed masturbation for his own struggles avoiding sideways glances at male asses.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If my future Father-In-Law sat down with me to discuss my porn habits with him and my fiance was in agreement with him doing so...BIG RED FLAG!!
Oh wait...yeah, now I do remember years ago discussing porn with MY future son-in-law. Afterwards we swapped our favorite video tapes. Never mind.
SHEEEEEEESH!!!
Red flags look normal when you're wearing rose colored glasses.
This would definitely make for an interesting conversation.
I can only imagine the measures that will be taken by well-meaning LDS in the next few years in the battle against pornography. Or maybe I can't.
Discussion Points:
-Tell me about your experience with pornography over your lifetime.
-Is there a history of pornography use in your immediate or extended family?
-How do you define pornography?
-How have you healed from the impact of pornography on your life?
-Who helped you overcome your problems with pornography?
-How do you currently protect yourself from pornography?
-Have you ever wanted to stop viewing pornography, but couldn’t?
Red Flags:
-He admits that he used to look at pornography, but says that he stopped doing it, but fails to explain how he was able to stop.
-He claims he overcame the problem on his own without any help from others.
-He’s not said anything to his girlfriend/fiancé about his history or current problems with pornography.
-He is vague about how he keeps himself from viewing pornography.
-He admits he used to have a problem with it, but doesn’t define what exactly that problem was. He appears defensive and doesn’t want to discuss it.
-He insists that he’s never even seen pornography and appears “too perfect” in his responses. Recognize that even though he may not have seen hardcore pornography, we live in a culture saturated with pornographic images. If he acts like he doesn’t notice or isn’t affected by those, you need to be concerned. Every man should acknowledge the occasional pull from images that are designed to draw our attention and entice us.
