One hilarious part of this is that the article quotes practictioners of the bogus discipline of “sex therapy” denouncing these “sef-taught” sex therapists. Psychologists are always good for a laugh.

I’d still sooner see these wackadoos set up shop rather than the LDS.

It was a guess anyway. I knew the second I walked into that place just to get out of the rain, the Lord would return at that moment.

Yeah, the LDS folk are real loonies and Jeremiah Right is a real savior.

You pay for it anyway.

When I was eighteen and decided to leave the mormon church, the bishop took a very nice looking mormon girl aside and told her the holy spirit wanted to use her to bring me back. I questioned why she was suddenly so attentive and she confessed everything.

So you tell me who the pimps and the whores are, smarta$$.
