Also, you have to teach them to rationalize their lies.

For instance, if the question is posed as such: "Do you have a PROBLEM with masturbation?" then all they need to say is: "No. No problem whatsoever."

The only time in my life I have been asked if I masterbated by a priesthood authority was by my bishop when I was a 16 year old priest being interviewed to be able to baptize my friend and his younger sister who were taking the discussions.

You should have said, "I've been peer reviewed several times and they all agree I'm doing it right."

I may have to alter Corollary 1 to simply say, "All Cougarguard discussions will eventually end up discussing masturbation."

Or add corollary 3: "Tex has never masturbated."

That's one of the dumbest things I've heard. I have such a problem with LDS culture refusal to acknowledge sin and being scared to death of it.

I was just thinking that. It is kind of odd. Y'all can blame this one on me.

It speaks to a greater need within our Mormon society to have an open and honest discussion about masturbation.

... or a greater need on Cougarguard to have a locker room atmosphere.

You misunderstood - the correct statement was "Majerus doesn't have a member."
