Wait, Mormons get boob jobs?

I think Utah has one of the highest rates of boob jobs in nation.

I would believe this. I am not sure how we are saying boob jobs is the moral equivalent to having sex pre or outside of marriage. Sex isn't outlawed in the church... we are even allowed to enjoy it... within the bonds of marriage.
 
I thought I heard once that they didn't approve any body adornment. Something to do with them melting off when the rapture comes or somesuch.

But, I think Utah is quite high overall when it comes to plastic surgery.

As a Mormon with “handcart/polygamy heritage” I can undoubtedly say you are an idiot. I couldn’t care less what people do their bodies. Or what they wear. It’s between them and God. My thoughts/opinions/actions have exactly zero consequence in that equation.

But please continue with your obviously biased and stupid blanket statements.

Unsurprised that a guy named bigb doesn’t care if people have big boobs.

What the heck? I have literally never heard that, not even as a Mormon Urban Legend. Although it is true that a past church president 15 years ago (Gordon B. Hinckley) asked church members to not get tattoos nor body piercings, and asked women to even have minimal ear piercings (just one per ear). It's not like anything happens to you if you disregard that though. Here's his talk, if you're interested: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2000/10/great-shall-be-the-peace-of-thy-children?lang=eng

Your post that I called bull crap on wasn't about history, it was about how you claim today's LDS act.

There are always stories of the crazy mormon girl who did this and that... In all honesty they aren't practicing mormons... my sister will tell you she is mormon and hasn't stepped into a church in 15 years, smokes, drinks, and likely did or does other things. She is nice to the missionaries when they knock on her door so she considers herself semi-active.

Active members aren't perfect but I can't recall many that were participating in the kinds of activities thrown out here while still posing to be active. Have seen a few leave and start partying or whatever, but I think the vast majority are trying their best to live the standards.
 
Mormons believe in the rapture? That doesn't sound right.

Are we pretending Mormons don't usually judge other Mormons dress and appearance? Whaaaat?

If that is directed at me, the answer is no of course not. Everyone does that. But I'm stating that his claim that "Mormons with handcart/polygamy heritage will judge, shun, and passively persecute other members that change their bodies as such. They also check to see that members that have received sacred garments (underwear) are wearing them 24/7, with gossip as the consequence for not doing so" is utter crap.
 
But please continue with your obviously biased and stupid blanket statements.

If you are inferring that there is no caste hierarchy in LDS culture, then it is you that are using the blanket.

The line falls along socio-economic lines, and it falls along the Nauvoo bloodlines, from which every LDS president has hailed.

One need not look much further than to research the Council of Fifty to understand how Utah politics has operaed since 1847.

As a Mormon with “handcart/polygamy heritage” I can undoubtedly say you are an idiot.

No, you really can’t. You can offer your own personal experience, and that’s about it. But if you don’t read and own your own religious history, you will always be at a disadvantage to those who do. Which is why you will continue to rely on insults to make your points.
