I didn't. It might have something to do with the sort of places you hang out online and the 'breadcrumbs' that are left around? Seems like there would be a connection.

In the interest of clarity, what types of online hangouts do you mean? I only ask because I'd hate to think this is an ambiguous attempt to slutshame someone, which I know you'd never try to do.
Surprise, surprise, there is no divine mandate for the Church to discuss and portray its history accurately.

Oh, certainly MG wasn't trying to intimate that I watch porn on my computer or "hang out" at sex sites or that there is anything wrong with such activity. :surprised:
I'm sure he meant that the genealogy, recipe, fashion and financial websites and blogs I read caused it. Or maybe it was Facebook and Amazon. I know they are in cahoots!

:lol:

Or perhaps he meant that the combination of LGBT and LDS related articles I read would have put me on that list. Afterall, it was an article on a LGBT site about an app to help prevent Mormons from touching themselves. :idea:

Luckily, now we know it was simply my way awesome husband who sends me articles related to Mormonism on a fairly frequent basis. probably cuz he's anti-Mormon. Right, PP? :wink:

I'd say it was most likely a list for people known to have a sense of humor, and a taste for Mormon-related parody.

He sounds like a nice guy to me.

Allegedly the app comes with a special pair of testimony gloves with straps for tying them to the bed stead as a sort of safety measure in case the app doesn't work at first....

A Mission President, on hearing about the app commented "I have to hand it to the developers, they've done well to pull it off."
