Check out this audio recording from an LDS mission conference. I can only link to it because “Embedding as been disabled by request.” We’ll see how long it stays up.

It must be a sure sign that I have fallen from the true faith that I think this mission president is completely full of post-processed bio-matter. I just makes my blood boil to listen to nonsense like this coming from a man who is in a position of authority. I’m sure at least part of it is my own issues cropping up here since it was speeches like this that had me hating myself and believing I was a worthless sinner for years.

A few points of interest:

1. For starters you don’t get pornographic pop-up unless you are on shady sites to begin with. Anything is possible, I suppose, and maybe the surfing the Internet in Europe has different norms. Europe is generally more tolerant of nudity than the U.S. Still, in 10 years of working on the Internet, I have never been “surprised” by a porno pop-up. If his wife is getting pornographic pop-up in his own home, it makes you wonder where she’s surfing.
2. Assuming innocence on the part of his family, I have two words for him: pop-up blocker.
3. For another it is beyond absurd to suggest that a single pornographic pop-up necessitated a hasty retreat to the bathroom to relieve the tension. The kid was surfing porn. The pres buying the kid’s nonsense that he was the victim of a random pornographic pop-up is just one more indicator that he has no idea what he is talking about.
4. How about that guilt trip? “You’re not getting baptisms cause all you have to do is wank just once and God will abandon you.” How about: They’re not getting baptisms because France (and Europe in general) is very skeptical of religions of all stripes and particularly of religions that brand masturbation as Satanic.
