I think you're off the hook there. Didn't Packer basically say 'wet dreams' were OK, and were our way of controlling the 'little factory'?

Maybe so, but then again I've been known to rob a bank in my dreams. I felt so guilty in the dream that towards the end I was headed to the police to turn myself in.

Yes, I'm sure he's attacked some of you, but did he start the personal nature of it, or did you start it by attacking him?

Pweterson is at the waterhead of Mormon apologetics. Hes also the biggest target literally, being the lard ass that he is.

If he were half as large as you guys say he is, tide charts would be written to take into account where he travels for conferences, vacations, etc.

I saw him at the FAIR conference last year. He didn't strike me as being large. Maybe a little overweight, but so is most of the US. In fact, based on some pictures I had seen of him, i was expecting him to be larger. I guess the camera really does add weight.

If only the camera would add muscle instead. Heck, I'd even go with a little weight seeing as how I've been on the thin side for most of my life.

When i was about 15-16 i was in a joint young men/young women meeting that had an open Q/A with the bishop and that was my exact question. I was told quite blankly that if i dream it, it was as bad as thinking it, or coveting in my heart since you can obtain complete controll of your dreams. So yes, you are held accountable if you have a "naughty" dream. And as such, you must confess and repent of any of these.

Needless to say, this was one of those things which hit me as VERY wrong at the time. And as a healthy boy of 16, this was a real concern of mine as i was unable to help feeling strong attraction to the opposite sex. In fact its screwed me over mentaly ever since. Even though i now understand that it was only used as a guilt mechanism for controll purposes.
