You've all defiled me. Maybe I should wash my hands of this place.
Maybe I should wash my brain of it too.
Sorry. I'll stop being a jerk.

This sure has been a "blue collar" thread, in the "little factory" sense of the word. :-)
I do have to wonder just how the MP knows exactly how incredible and how filthy the pop-ups are, unless he's seen them himself. And if he has, then I have to wonder how that happened. Unless he's in the habit of clicking every link sent to him by email, he's got to be doing something to be getting those popups.
Anyhow, how did popups enter into this conversation? Are these elders of Israel not baptising more than 2 people per month in that mission because they use computers, and sometimes some of them have been exposed to nasty popups? What exactly is his point, other than "the Internet is bad, and it's by using the Internet that you've all lost the spirit, and that's why we're only baptising 2 people a month in the whole mission." What a jerk.
by the way, I'm pretty sure that "2 per month" is in fact for the whole mission. My mission usually did fewer than 10 per month, and I'd be surprised if my same mission could pull that off today. The Europeans are wising up. Even on my mission, it was mostly poor immigrants from Africa or other dirt-poor countries who were getting baptised. The number of actual, ancestral Europeans who got baptised in my mission each year had to be no more than a couple dozen for a whole year, and of those, most didn't stick around that long.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

I'm guessing he spent some time examining those pop-up ads. After all, if we are going to defeat the adversary, we must know, in great detail, the kinds of weapons he is using.

Anyone else hate modern culture? We have so many metaphors and innuendos about sex it's impossible to say anything without someone finding a sexual reference.
Also further proof that getting sex out into the open is not working. You'd think with all the fresh air we've given it all this repression would have worked itself out by now.

like the dirty thoughts in students minds when they look at sculptures at BYU ;) I can see it now: male students looking at Rodin's art and then sprinting back to the Dorm.

Nehor,
The topic of the thread IS sex - albeit solo sex, but sex. It's not a symptom of a culture saturated with sexual innuendos that we've engaged in innuendos here. It's what the thread was about.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
