do we use birth control?? NO!!! we do not. ever. therefore, i am offended that the picture chosen to represent the guild is a condom. find a better picture.


LDSeraphim, I believe you are overstating the position. While the church does believe in the importance of family and considers parenthood a divine calling, the authorities have also said that family size is something to be privately discussed, prayed about and decided by the husband and wife. So it is not true that we do not ever use birth control.

Well, then i guess i will see you all in the afterlife. I have asked contrete to take me out because i cannot comit to the rules of the guild. Sorry you are al too sheltered to give over a picture of an unopended condom. Advocating safe sex is better than... not safe sex.

Can't say as I'm thrilled with the idea of Sex Education from the internet. I hope the guild members are more mature and responsible than most of the people I've met on here. I know some parents don't live up to their obligations but I still think Sex Ed is something for them to do. I would be very uncomfortable with my teen learning such things on here. I've seen some thoughtful, helpful people on here but I've also seen a distinct lack of gospel principles.
I guess that there is a lack of gospel principals in gaia because, shcokingly, everyone in the world isnt mormon. gasp! they arn't?!

I agree. It's important to educate, but I think it may give the impression that it's alright to participate in such things if you use a condom, when really sex should be saved until after marriage
I used a condom because it is a prominant symbol associated with sex. Just cause you dont think you'll ever use one doesn't mean you should know what it is, or looks like.

Thank you for running that for me. And its contrete angle asking me to remove it. Maybe if i saw a viable argument for its removal, i would think about it. but as of yet, i have not seen one.

If you perceve that impression, its your own problem, because i dont see how a condom picture can say that. It doesnt say sex is ok if you have a condom, but that if you do, for what ever reason, decided to have sex, its safer with a condom.

Let me tell you all that you are lucky that have actually excersized some restraint.


You all are hypocrities. every mormon i know is guilty of hypocracy. in some way. they preach one thing, yet they dont follow what they preach. Like in that retarded movie, Sons of Provo. You know the part. They preach forgiveness, yet they didnt forgive their cousin.

Most of you are guilty of (most likly) preaching tolorance of other peoples beliefs and convictions. yet none of you, cept one, are tolorent.

seriously? i must be mixing churches up then. i never thought THAT would happen. yeah, now htat i think about it, it's my parents church (catholic) that says no birth control stuff ever. they have planned family stuff. you know, abstain during certain times of the month if you don't want more kids.
they have a valid point though. doing "it" is sacred in marriage, all the stuff that takes place then is there for a reason. if you use some artificial means to stop it and just do it for fun, then that takes away from the sacredness. or maybe i'm just babbling. you tell me. neutral

"Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great, if a sperm is wasted, god gets quite irrate."

Oh WAH! Stop your crying crying ! Sorry for the outburst, but you're overreacting. How are you not abiding by the guild rules? You asked if we felt offended and many said yes. You asked for it.

I still don't believe a condom gives the right message. To me, it gives the idea that it's ok to have safe sex whenever, you won't get hurt. While that is better than spreading STDs, sex is meant to be sacred, precious, and saved for your spouse. Abstaining from it until the appropriate time should be the real message.

.....i have to go to seminary soon..... ninja

alright. rebuttle time!!! biggrin

(dashes correspond with each argument.....)
-but (most) everybody in this guild is. you need to respect other's standards for what they see on the internet.

-but none of us asked to see a c0nd0m. and most of us just dont want to. i guess that's really all it boils down to.

-alright, here's your argument: people are offended, they dont like it, it's a (mostly) mormon guild with high standards. why quit a great guild when you can just take it off??

-hmmm, the picture said that for me......hmm...... and i'm guessing it said that for many others here too. double hmmm....... pirate

nobody (save jesus) is perfect. so are you saying that nobody can teach the gospel because at one time or another they themselves have not followed it?? how would anybody get to the celestial kingdom??

it you look at it your way, all religious leaders are hypocrites because everybody sins (cept' jesus mrgreen ). what then would you have us do? burn in h311? evil

Of course we know that the internet is filled with a bunch of crap. We see things we don't want to. But we just try to not let it get to us, we try to avoid it as best we can.

For every good thing God creates, Satan makes his own version of it. The internet is a great example. It's a great way to research and keep in touch with friends and family, but it's also filled with disgusting junk.

well, part of the point of this guild is that we won't have to see things we don't want to! it's a HAVEN away from the filth of mainstream internetness.
