BYU Today

[Korihor]

Got this email newsletter today

http://today.byu.edu/

Highlights:
- Come re-listen to Quentin Cooks recent speach at BYU - The Happiest People Follow God. Then you can be reminded how much happier you are than everyone else

A female BYU Senior won the (coveted?) Bridesmaid of the Year Award. Really, do we need to even say it - A single senior BYU female who was bridesmaid 12 times? You're proud of this?

It's #HonorWeek at BYU. Watch videos what honor means to folks at BYU. Really, you want to talk about BYU and Honor?

A nice article highlighting the recent 70th wedding anniversary of a nice couple. The article highlights several long lasting marriages. Again, really, a Major university is publishing a feel good article about long lasting marriages. Isn't that what the church itself is for?


This was just a reminder of my slow yet steady growing regret of going to BYWho?

It's annoying seeing all that "honour" crap around. Do they think they're Klingons, or something?

Did they throw a celebration party on campus for that 12 time bridesmaid?
I mean, A mormon was in the news with national attention and all.

I wasn't there; I wouldn't know.

It's annoying seeing all that "honor" crap around.

I think it came about from all that Honor Code Committee abuse that hit the news last year. Mormons are perhaps feeling a mite touchy about the strange definition they have given to the word honor and thus see a need to justify its strange metamorphosis from something positive into something used to justify abuse, discrimination and a compulsive insistence on obedience.
