Here's another:
9. No two-piece swimsuit for women/girls.
(Of course there's the natural restrictions on clothing due to the garmies)
And they've recently made the bottom part of the garment longer so folks have to wear longer shorts.
They have? I know my wife said that the new top for women is just a tank top, without the "support" seams. I had no idea the garments had changed. I have a drawer full of them, but don't use them anymore.

A tank top? Really? I haven't heard that either. Can women bare their shoulders now?

The past year or so, for men and women. The same size garment bottom I bought years ago and which was above the knee, now covers the knee. Very uncomfortable. my wife has complained about the same thing with the woman's garment bottom.

Fascinating. I remember that when I came home from Bolivia, mine all had little holes burned all over them because a lady in La Paz used a charcoal filled iron on them. It looked like I'd been fighting forest fires in my garments.
It's like giving the leftover dinner crumbs to the dog. Women don't hold the priesthood, so in consolation, men feel the need to say 'well, you don't need it, you're already more spiritual than men anyways'. At least, that's my view of it...
Ohh don't get me started on this... LOL!
Yeah, guys have the POWER OF GOD but it is the women who are more spiritual? What condescending nonsense.
Yeah, don't get me started! Why do we even have to have a stupid gender war in the first place? Before you know it sleeping with the enemy is going to be a capital offense.
I take people on their merits, not on what's between their legs (unless I'm talking about attractiveness).
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO

Mostly Harmless.

Am I right? Or am I right?

Apparently they weren't thinking critically enough if they joined the church.
