Another good buddy of mine was excommunicated because
the whole ward supposed things about him based on the fact
that he loved being innocently naked.
But not all reactions from Church leaders are negative.
There is no means to forecast how a local leader will react to the
revelation that one of his members is a naturist. One engaged
couple I know ran afoul of the BYU Honor Code because they
had skinny-dipped jointly and were barred from the university. Their bishop asked them one question: "Was it sexual?"
When their answer was no, he promptly interceded and got
them readmitted.
Reactions of local leaders are unpredictable because there is
no official Church stand on nudism. This is as it should be.
Nudism is one of those problems where members should do
their own study and prayer and seek their own answers from
the Spirit. Truly, if you talk with many Mormon naturists,
You will discover they have received powerful religious witnesses about their practice.
T
HIS IS WHAT I've found from my past eight years of
being a naturist: Nudism is modest in the right settings. It diffuses lust. It cultivates trust and acceptance
among people. http://gradienthomemortgage.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=freenudism.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/qgqLr.png educates a healthy attitude toward the individual
body and treats body shame. It educates kids and helps
them develop healthier attitudes in their relationships with the
opposite gender. It even shields them from predators because
They're more open about their bodies and are more prone to
report questionable behavior.
I have seen naturism help people heal from pornography addictions . url supplies positive, wholesome pictures of the body. Naturist kids have their interest
about the human body filled in safe, controlled surroundings under adult supervision instead of sneaking peeks at
pornography with their friends. Grownups who finally experience
the difference between pornographic images of the human
body and innocent images accessible through nudism can see
the ugliness in the pornographic picture. It starts to lose its appeal.
These are the things I Have learned in the eight years I Have been
a Mormon nudist.
Mormon is to the teachings of Joseph Smith.
Yet I can't share these discoveries with my fellow Saints. As
I have sat in endless lesson after lesson, sermon after sermon on
the ills of porn and saw the attempts of Church
leaders to combat this difficulty largely fail, I anguish to know I
have a simple remedy that can help many people cure, but I
have to make sure that it remains to myself.
