That was clearly not shot at Lone Peak HS so I googled Lone Peak Stake and found a DesNews article about the video. Turns out this stake is in Sandy.
Funny thing about mountains. There are multiple sides.

Also, since you hate kids from LP so much, we'll be happy to welcome Chase Hansen back to the fold.

I stand corrected. JL owes no explanation.
Why is sandy so weird?
I take it you hate the video so much, that you came here to ensure that everyone understood that it was not filmed with kids from your neck of the woods?Originally Posted by FMCoug
It doesn't matter where the video was made, it is the content that matters, and my daughter loved it so I don't care if you guys don't like it. (Insert here smiley sticking tongue out.)

My devout, super orthodox Mormon teenage daughter thinks it is "lame".
Different strokes for different folks
I am indifferent about the video. Although I live in Utah County at the moment, I am not "from" Utah at all. My observations on Utah culture are well documented on various boards.I was just cracking up at the fact that you all jumped on this as being a Utah County thing. The fact that folks in the Salt Lake Valley consider Utah County "the bubble" is highly amusing to me and other Mormons not from here. The whole state (and most of Idaho) are a bubble.
So who here is in favor of modesty in dress, regardless of your feelings about regions of Utah?

I think the problem I have with the video is making "virtue" synonymous with conforming to traditional LDS dress/grooming.
My idea of virtue is for my kids to be nice to and reach out to all the other kids and especially those that don't conform to the stereotypes.
I think this video makes more sense for LDS kids outside of Utah. Here in Utah they should be singing a song about the virtue of LDS kids being nice to non-LDS kids, gay kids, etc., not pressuring other kids to dress exactly like a stereotypical Mormon.
I just saw it as a whimsical video that made me laugh while sending a very positive message - that young men can see beauty in modestly dressed young women, and actually admire that. I don't see anything about stereotypical dress, just some guys having fun talking about a valid principle.

I'm not a fan of the "Girls with integrity are hard to find these days" line.
I agree, that was not artfully worded. That's what happens when amateurs put out uncorrelated material, I guess.

I'm often leery of this type of work, but this piece taught me a lot and answered a (minor) question I've had for years:
Once Again: Joseph Smith, Richard Dawkins, and the Language of Translation
http://www.mormoninterpreter.com/onc...f-translation/
I still wonder why Joseph and those who helped him didn't use completely correct English grammar (lots of the "ye's" are wrong, for example), but that's a niggling concern for me.

Highly recommended. I can't watch this without thinking of Moses, Chapter 1 (one of my favorite chapters in all the LDS scriptures):
The Known Universe, by the American Museum of Natural History
It also makes me think of this Dieter Uchtdorf line: "This is a paradox of man: compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God."

I'm not a huge fan of Kirby but I found his recent offering fun.If you’re one of those people who thinks the precise color of the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem is a deal-breaking factoid, I have a hard time not suspecting that you’re an obsessive dumb ass, never mind actually loving you.
That was rude, I know. But it does aptly illustrate my struggle. When it comes to definitive proof of any religious text, I’m more of a skeptical anthropologist. I don’t completely trust anything involving human beings, including scripture.
Actually, make that especially scripture. It doesn’t take much reading of any religious tome to start wondering if there isn’t sometimes a line between being a prophet of God and just plain nuts.

"Never be frightened at your own faint-heartedness in attaining love. Don’t be frightened overmuch even at your evil actions. I am sorry I can say nothing more consoling to you, for love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams. Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action, rapidly performed and in the sight of all. Men will even give their lives if only the ordeal does not last long but is soon over, with all looking on and applauding as though on the stage. But active love is labour and fortitude, and for some people too, perhaps, a complete science. But I predict that just when you see with horror that in spite of all your efforts you are getting farther from your goal instead of nearer to it- at that very moment I predict that you will reach it and behold clearly the miraculous power of the Lord who has been all the time loving and mysteriously guiding you."

about 11 P.M. last night I had the realization that last night was the anniversary of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane (at least I think that is correct in the timeline). It was kind of a peaceful/cool moment for me to think about that for a moment. It reminded me that Gethsemane means Olive Press or wine press and just as all of the juices is squeezed out of a grape or olive in a press, Christ was essentially squeezed to the point of blood coming out of his pores.
“I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me” (Isaiah 63:3).
Love that Isaiah verse. I love thinking about the Atonement too, and had some of the same moments myself last night.

I found this post to be very good: http://timesandseasons.org/index.php...d-fence-holes/
That there are holes in his argument, I have no doubt, but nevertheless the post resonated with me.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
With me too.

It's on Bluray now
Cosmos is fabulous. I highly recommend it. Disregard the fact that it was on Fox and was produced by Seth 'Family Guy' McFarlane. It was written by Steven Soter and Ann Druyan (Carl Sagan's wife), and narrated by Neil DeGrasse-Tyson, who is engaging and informative and pulls off the sexy-ass mustache look like nobody's business. I felt the Spirit while watching every episode.
Every other show on TV is Stanford*, while Cosmos is awesomeness defined.
(* or should that be Duke? One never can tell)
