Yes, I know someone who committed adultery and instead of being ex'd, their bishop had them read MoF. They let me borrow the book...from what I can tell, if you ever get forgiven by the LDS church, it really is a miracle.
Could you please use something other then the term sex violators? It makes it sound like we are talking about pedophiles, or rapist, like the first two Mormon prophets, instead of healthy normal sexually active adults.
I was a bit confused, too. I was thinking "rapist" or some thing.
My husband had to read it for premarital sex, but I did some sexual "sins" before I got married. It was not sex, so maybe that's why I didn't have to read it?
of the way Kimball portrays sex in his book, and the way the church sees it outside of marriage in any form. I mean ,seriously, we are talking about sex in the context of the church, not the real world. It was a choice of words that I stand by....
I still want to know if it is still required reading for sex violators, and for the religiously correct, that means ,for masturbaters, fornicators and adulterers.
I know it was required as of 2005, but is it still today?
That is just getting a little ridiculous, stillburned, sorry.
When I had my Bishops interview before my mission, I admitted to "making out" with a few different boyfriends over the years. Before I could send in my mission papers, I too, was told to read "TMOF."
Seriously, one of the craziest and most boring books I've ever read and yes, I read it. Still have my dad's 1956 copy. Got some weird *#it in there, let me tell you.
Sorry...couldn't help it... I think I understood the OP was just talking about garden variety stuff, not pedos and other pervs...TSCC seems to think they're all equal. Either way, having read it, I think MoF is a very damaging book...if you take it seriously (which, of course, I don't).
