THE WORD,"CAN'T", IS AN INFRINGEMENT ON OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE, WHICH IS CALLED AGENCY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD BY ANY CHURCH AUTHORITY THAT I "CAN'T" DO SOMETHING, BUT ALWAYS ENCOURAGE TO SEEK HEAVENLY FATHER'S COUNCIL.

Overthinking something simple. The objections reflect more the inner thoughts of the critic than anything else. The lady doth protest too much.

It reminds me of the call for banning a really funny book, with quality art work. I believe it was written by an RM relating little vignettes about Missionary life that we all tell and retell. Why because they are funny, endearing, and in the end it helps to laugh a little. Even at ourselves.

My frail old mind recalls all kinds of retribution. Expell from school even excommunication. Sometimes y'all are just wrapped a little too tight. Doesn't tolerance have any place in Mormon life?

Chad Ramos, who capitalizes on "Mormon speak" in order to sell T-shirts, is surprised \\\\— but not particularly disappointed \\\\— at the furor at BYU over his "I can't" T-shirts.
