Exactly. Unless a video recording of the act was submitted to the school bishop, I don't know how they could prove this. I'd challenge the school to provide proof.
Perhaps she added about 8 pounds and missed a few appointments?
Uncle B = biggest MORON on Letsrun.com
I'd rather be a MORMON.
Mormonism is a lie. Look at Mit Romney. A draft dodger.
You support a college snooping into its students sex lives -- and think me the moron?

Interestingly enough, Joe Smith named one of the key figures in his curious and mostly purloined fable (an angel) "Moroni." I'd like to give him credit for being tongue-in-cheek and playing a joke on millions of people in future generations, but...

I can't believe no one has called you out on this... let parents choose spouses? Really? That's ridiculous.
The arranged-marriage divorce rate in India is something like 5%.
It is Westerners who are brainwashed by a cult-like belief that people are somehow capable of picking their own spouses. This practice arose only about 2-300 years ago, has no basis in fact whatsoever, and has led to immeasurable human suffering. It is disgusting. My heart cries out for all the poor people who-- without the guidance of their parents-- chose their own spouse and went through years of post-nuptial shutoff!!!
Look-- different religious and cultural practices have different impacts. Many Mormon practices are relatively healthy for church members-- less alcohol, caffeine, and pre-marital sex pretty good ideas for the vast majority of people.
There are a lot of ways to condemn the Mormon church-- but propagating messages that are in the best interest of its members is not not one of them.

No, they are pretty dangerous. Mormons slaughtered hundreds of people trying to make a life and took their youngest children. Any older children were slaughtered too.

I already knew they weren't immune to violence back in the early days, but that is pretty nuts. It seems a little irrelevant to today, though. Have a more recent example?
Umm if you researched the religion, using a legitimate church registry, along with a history text book, you would also see that the "prophet" Joseph Smith tried to join a Methodist church 8 years after his vision...
I seriously can't believe this thread is still going.
The Johnson Brothers are bigots
The rest of you join them on their crusade to bad mouth a religion full of some of the best people you will ever meet. One day you all will realize your offense.
Just as an update, I see that Brandon Davies is back on BYU's roster: http://byucougars.com/roster/m-basketball
Until he runs afoul of some hotty.
