This is not a Mormon thing but a Utah Mormon thing. People who didn't know I was LDS would make a reference to the church but instead of just saying it, they would mumble into their hand. One person told me that the person who watched her son when she went back to school was her "mishmnry cmpanyn". Another person told me he couldn't come to a meeting because his wife had "yng wommn's" that night. I nearly burst out laughing. Both relaxed considerably after I told them that it was ok, I was Mormon too.

Several members who live in other countries said that in their nations, they do not have the same rating system and in one case, they did not even have a rating system. I agree with your statement about films that can uplift you or downgrade you regardless of their rating. Besides, why are we allowing people who select the ratings to make choices for us when we have no idea about who they are or what their values and beliefs are. Rick T [MOD: I'd like to encourage us to stay away from a discussion of the rating system in the abstract at this time. This is one of those topics that we seem to need to discuss every so often on the List, but I think it hasn't been all that long since the last time this topic came around. So while I'll go ahead and post comments like this that come through in the context of the BYU policy--which is certainly one of our current topics--I'd rather we didn't get into the full-blown ratings system discussion at this time. By the way, has anyone else noticed that the original article heading seemed to suggest that a complete ban on R ratings is part of the draft, while according to Eric Samuelsen this isn't actually there? Also, if the policy draft is not a confidential document, I would welcome a copy to post on the List--or if there's some online location to which a link could be posted, I'd welcome that too. I always favor having a chance to see the document one is ranting about...] - - AML-List, a mailing list for the discussion of Mormon literature http://www.xmission.com/~aml/aml-list.htm ------------------------------ End of aml-list-digest V1 #237 ******************************
