Mormon Beefcake

Six years ago it happened and it's only getting on the news now? Someone's playing a game! And I really do not think it's the LDS Church. And why do people get so upset about it.?. Could it be that they are not members and don't understand how satan works?. Sorry for the negative thoughts people have about other people. I've been a member of different Christian church's and have found fault in all of them.

this calendar is unfortunate. its a mockery of church members' beliefs to regard their bodies as pure and sacred. i can't think of a more cheap, degrading way of drawing attention to the church than having members who want to be more accepted by the world wax up and flex. Hardy is kidding himself if he claims that he only meant to shed positive light on the LDS faith. it's sad, and it proves that Hardy like so many other Americans favor exploitation of the human body over a reverence and respect for sacred things.

No one beats the Muslims for modesty. I respect the fact that the Muslim women e.g. Afghan women cover up completely. It may be a little overdone, but hey they're on the right track, not exploiting their bodies and trying to tempt men.

Hello, my name is Elisabeth - I am America's Sweetie and featured on my profile at the site of one of the leading adult websites. I'm also a transition specialist. My husband passed away 18 months ago. He was a paraplegic for 34 years as a result of a spinal cord injury at the age of 17. Coincidentally, and perhaps not, we were both very open to providing information to persons with disabling conditions to enrich and improve their personal lives. This includes sexuality issues. Many persons in transition are faced with these circumstances. A little adaptation and information opens up a whole new world for them. I hold a twice-weekly Internet based presentation which draws many viewers who recognize the need for this area of counseling and advisement. This is a private show and, obviously, available to persons only of legal age. The issues I address advocate for men who honor, respect and wish to engage in providing healthy sexual fulfillment for their wives, partners or potential partners. I've addressed different ways of nurturing your partner through difficult times: surgery, rehabilitation, a new course of medication, grief, depression. These are things my husband I faced together and we had a very loving and fulfilling relationship and sex life. I have presented the program partially nude as I've become more comfortable. My first nude photograph has been posted this past week - an elegant black and white demure photograph of my backside in very good taste. I am very pleased with the results. My advocacy of transitional counseling includes many other subjects including career skills and employment training, academic advisement, advocacy for special education issues, barrier free universal design and ADA compliance, reintegration and re-socialization. I'm very pleased to be a part of the world Bob and I dreamed of which, I've gone forward to create. Why the nudes? To change, and to increase awareness of the image of someone with a disability as I strive, with others, to remove societal stigma. I myself have a disabling medical condition. This assists me in raising funds to support the non-profit organization and scholarship foundation in memory of my husband. I was baptized and raised as a Roman Catholic and converted to the LDS church almost 15 years ago. I remain true to my testimony in the church. No one has ever questioned my activities or actions. In fact, I know we are a progressive church adapting to societal changes and needs, while still holding true to our Christian beliefs and personal values and integrity within the teachings of the Church. I'm pleased to say my clientele (for counseling, there is no sexual interaction involved), includes the Veterans of the U.S. They love me, and I love them right back, unconditionally.

If you make an issue out of something, then it becomes one. People have a basic right to choose what they do, how they worship, what they believe. If you are offended by something, you simply have the right not to buy one! It is simple. It's not about which religion you are. Personally, I can't believe that people can be faithful to any religion that reserves the right to pick and choose members who they feel are worthy. But, that is me, my belief, my preference as it be. Do I condemn anyone? NO! That would make me a hypocrite.

It is so sad that people pass judgments on other people's faiths when they are so un-educated on what they truly believe. For example the "mormon" faith doesn't believe sex is bad, they just have higher standards then most in today's world in how they will behave and present themselves. I'm so sick of ignorant people publically judging others beliefs when they don't even know what it is these people believe. if people truly want to disagree with what a religion believes then first find out what they believe and why- http://www.newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng

About 36 years ago I belonged to the Mormon Church. I was raised as a child. My mom did not go regularly but I did. The church was my lifeline to a bad situation at home. I took care of the bishop's children (8) of them while the parents spent hardly anytime with them. When I turnedt 18 I moved as things were very bad for years(use your imagination of what kind of abuses were happening it happened) The person I moved in with had been there for me as a friend since I was 13. He knew everything and offered a spare room when I was 18 so I could go on to college. He began reading .through my book of mormom The church called a meeting to excommunicate me. They assumed we were having sex and a rumor started we were getting married jumping out of an airplane. The fact was he was a respectable flight engineer in the air force, I decided they would do what they wanted to do no matter what I said because did I mention he was black/cherokee indian.I felt defending the untrue rumors were useless because it was the family I worked for many years and They already had their opinions on race and what I might be doing never giving him a chance as a human being. Update we decided to date and see where it would go and now I have been married 34 years ago and treated better than most women i the church I am sure. His mom did a great job he does not belive in even raising a voice to woman language is always respectable and he is not beyaond doing housework, kids grandkidd It is a never his job or my job it is our job to make a good marrige. We have 3 children and 8 grandchildren now and are as happy as the day we decided to date. As for what I learned in the church the family values are a great part of my life, still never smoked drank coffe etc. How many people fo to the mormon church and can say they follow My husband as much respect and any man I have ever met in the church yet he never stood a chance.

wow, something is upsetting some religous group. christ, everything is wrong according to these kooks. i'm surprised breathing isnt considered a sin.

Seems to be a double standard here...no posing for a calendar...bla, bla, bla. But a higher up in the church can make a sexual advance and nothing is done about that even when a Bishop is told about it. DOUBLE, DOUBLE STANDARD. Lets look in our own backyard first. Where can I buy a calendar?

I'm glad the boys got a calendar, God knows they deserve some fun after years of riding their bikes in the hot sun and rain in out of the way places, knocking on strangers doors trying to explain what the hell they are doing there. I had the pleasure of knowing (yes that way too!) numerous Elders while living on a small island over the last 8 years. Every 4-6 months a new couple or sometimes two couples could arrive. With the except of two in the 8 years they were all great guys very concerned for the locals and with wonderful intentions.. Most were also either intimate with one another or a number of us expats on the island. They worked hard but also played hard and loved hanging out on the beach on the days off. I often thought those beautiful boys should have a clanedar! I'll be nominating some for the 2009 version! Maybe one will even bare his special underwear!?
