That's a movement I could probably support.

This is what I don't really get. I agree that it was in poor taste, but what sin has been committed here? What moral wrong has occurred?

My guess is, had the guy published his calendar and left the church out of it, they likely would've left him alone. It was the overt marketing association with the church and its missionary movement that got him into hot water.

this leads me to believe that a LDS photographer doing boudoir photography for clients could be excommunicated.
or that a female LDS actress who stars in a movie where she wears a bikini could be brought before a disciplinary council (as apparently some of the models in the calendar were). well, you made a calendar where guys had their shirts off and talked about theiri missions and testimony. You don't pay tithing, you don't wear garments, it's pretty much a slam-dunk case of excommunication. ???? Feminists, gays, now calendar producers. What's next? Mailmen? Daycare workers? |

He should have been a man about it and just asked to have his records removed. Instead he made a spectacle of himself and IMHO, the church also gave grounds to those who see an FLDS component alive and well. Why don't these people just politely resign from the fold. |
