Here is the link to the video: http://youtu.be/UXzWNQT1cJk . My husband and some friends wrote the song as a means to communicating the sensitive subject of modesty to a show choir at the University of Utah's Institute of Religion some years ago. It was a big hit and we feel like it might help young women to get the message. Thanks, enjoy!<br /><br />BrittanyBrittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651797221632773955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949753706571331180.post-61753861237073127272009-09-20T20:40:14.773-06:002009-09-20T20:40:14.773-06:00When I was in YW the girls were not allowed to wea...When I was in YW the girls were not allowed to wear shorts to mutual, but the boys were. Even low rider shorts that showed their boxers were ok. The leaders said, "well, if we tell them to change, they won't come to mutual at all." I "protested" by wearing modest, knee length shorts, and was sent home. It probably wasn't the most mature way to get my point across in hindsight, but the double standard still frustrates me to recall.<br /><br />I seem to recall a 9recent in the last 2 years) talk or quote by a general authority saying that the "modest is hottest" slogan is inappropriate because it implies that our goal is still to draw attention to bodies/sexuality, where the purpose of modesty is to show respect for ourselves & our Heavenly Father.<br /><br />I can't seem to find this reference on LDS.org. Can you help? This is along similar lines to what you are saying in your blog post.Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949753706571331180.post-85154929226404131602009-09-14T13:25:58.810-06:002009-09-14T13:25:58.810-06:00There was a study published this year that showed ...There was a study published this year that showed UTAH as having the highest online porn subscriptions in the nation. All of this extreme modesty and sexual repression rears its ugly head in other ways. Modern healthy attitudes toward sexuality actually are more productive than all of the puritanical repressive crap that I was taught as a teenager.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376327914746035255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949753706571331180.post-14551738633818050842009-09-01T21:03:10.361-06:002009-09-01T21:03:10.361-06:00My God, my God, how much more crazy can this get? ...My God, my God, how much more crazy can this get? <br /><br />No, wait, marrying off 17 to 21 year olds eh?

They were told they could not wear shorts, and made to sign contracts stating as much prior to attending. When they returned though, the Stake President stood in Sacrament meeting and proclaimed..."I issued the commandment to not wear shorts, to test if the Young Women would be obedient to the voice of their Stake President."<br /><br />The fact that lightening did not come straight through the roof of the chapel and vaporize the man, is on my evidence list for Atheism having an element of truth to it.Urban Kodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327437055164051853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949753706571331180.post-24853285754024769962009-08-31T11:55:14.615-06:002009-08-31T11:55:14.615-06:00Bishop,

I can't believe you are advocating a conversation about anything, other than strict abstinence, in regard to teen sexual activity. Once you start talking about "protection" you are indirectly advocating the inappropriate sexual behavior. I think the best way to force the premarital abstinence philosophy is to push these young ladies into an early marriage with a very young and sexually deprived returned missionary. Our practice of marrying off 17 to 21 year old girls is the perfect solution to controlling inappropriate sexual behavior!<br /><br />Monomomonomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252829684530480142noreply@blogger.com
