Blaine: Orwellian!! LOL You have a sinister mind to ascribe Orwellian motives to the LDS Church in general, but more so with regards to Brigham Young University, Perry. We are talking about a school practice here, aren't we? Not a churchwide practice.
Is not the school owned and run by the church? If so, then it is likely that this is a church endorsed practice. If the church does the same you would probably not know it, especially since anything you might hear about the LDS that is not in line with the image you have been programmed to accept, you deny it as a plot to discredit the church. Wake up and smell the postum.
Nothing sinister here!! Just common sense that if you photograph and publish the photo of a very popular athlete wearing obvious violations of the school standards on his arm, you are publicly endorsing the violation.
There is a contradiction in your very statement above, Blaine. Tell me you can't see it. The school recruits an athlete whose tattoos violate the schools standards, then tries to hide that by doctoring the photos?
Of course that makes sense to me, but maybe not to someone like yourself who seems to see sinister plots and/or conspiritorial motives in everything the Mormon Church does.
That is what scares me...it makes sense to you. I wonder if all Mormons blindly accept the Orwellian practices of their church and it's school as making sense. Now, that is a scary thought. It is this very mindset that allows events like the Mountain Meadows Massacre to happen. I was hoping that the LDS church had grown beyond that point.
Maybe, as I have suggested before, you need to find someone whith a couch in his office, and tell him all about this problem you have. LOL
Well, this is the second time you have suggested that I need clinical help. Iin a debate, when one of the parties begins to attack their opponent personally, it is a sign that they have lost the debate.
