IMO, this is a ridiculous and petty rule. If there were two bedrooms available, then it would probably help two people sleep better if each had his own room. It's these arbitrary rules. made for no particular reason, that greatly damage any credibility that an MP might have.


That's not just some arbitrary MP. That's an arbitrary churchwide rule for missionaries. I think the idea is to eliminate privacy as much as possible in order to discourage masturbating... or something.

Missions are like prison: You learn how to come very quietly and without rustling the covers or shaking the bed.

A skill that comes in handy for that Mormon Marriage you'll be a part of right after the old mission. :shock:

Oh, I think we all know the reason behind this particular rule--Uncle Boyd says no night shifts at the little factory.


That's just because BKP doesn't want missionaries to spend their entire missions sneaking off to masturbate the way he did.

So how much experience of prisons do you have?

So it's OK for the elders to have sex with each other as long as they both don't fall asleep in the same bed?
